Artist's Comments

"Moonlit Farewell - lineart" (Original working title: "Kaguya Hime in Full Regalia")

Line art layer extracted from my .rif file of "Moonlit Farewell" to be added to my LineArt Collection. Feel free to color this if you want. Just give me credit for the line art in your deviation's "artist's comments" area with a link to this page, and then send me either a note or comment with a link to your colored version so I get to enjoy your work. Please leave my signature intact. Feel free to add yours to the final colored version of yours though.

Fully colored version is found here.

A totally original rendition of an fictitious character of Kaguya Hime from the Japanese tale "Taketori Monogatari". A very interesting tale of a baby girl born of a bamboo tree, who grows up in a very short time, and then returns to the Moon on the 15th night (full moon). The story itself is over a thousand years old, and many variations exist and the motif has been repeatedly used in many works in contemporary drama, anime, and manga.

Here is a beautiful colored version by :iconka-kind:.
And here is another beautiful colored version by :icon6eve6bloodreign6:.
:iconordinary33:'s version is here.
And here's a version that looks like as painstakingly done as my original in a completely different, but undeniably beautiful way by :iconalexasrosa:.

No matter how many times I see it, I'm always amazed by the amount of detail on her clothes and jewellery... I would never be brave enough to try colouring this ^^;
:iconaruarian-dancer:
Hehe, I'm looking at it now and thinking, "Did I really do this?" :D :D :D It looks overwhelming to me now.

Amazing! It must have taken a long time to draw; the amount of detail is incredible. I find I have to stare at it a long time to take it all in. She is so beautiful; it’ll be lovely to see her in colour.
:iconaruarian-dancer:
Thank you. ^^

Here she is in color. [link] (Talk about instant gratification. :D)

I think I should like to try coloring this...it's so beautiful. I really would like to try!

Traditionally, colored pencils and lead pencils. May I have permission?

These are my other colored line-works, just so that you can see what I can do...It's not much, but I'd like to color this. ([link]) ([link]) ([link])

I'll love the sun in day, the moon at night and you...forever.
:iconaruarian-dancer:
Absolutely! ^^ Go right on ahead and have fun with it. I can't wait to see what you do with colored pencils. I used to do 100% colored pencil works, so I love the medium.

By the way, your color works are beautiful. ^^
