Kagome as Death Sketch
Picture information
Description:
Just a quick sketch before I have to go to work. I will clean it up later and paint it.
This is how I picture Kagome when reading "Death's New Mistress" by Quiet Whisper.
In this image, Kagome is wearing a mofuku, a traditional Japanese mourning kimono. It is meant for the mourners to wear; I put Kagome in such attire because she mourns the deaths from the lives she takes. Ordinarily, only a corpse wears a kimono with the right side crossing the left, but because I always imagine Kagome as being neither alive nor dead, but somewhere in between, and because she is Death personified, I made hers cross right over left.
The scythe is made up of two different flowers; the funeral lily and the white chrysanthemum. In Japan, the white chrysanthemum is a symbol of death.
Please enjoy!
