This is a commission for !
She wanted an image to illustrate a scenario from her fanfic that she is writing (and a very good one! I advise you to read! NOW!)

To explain: Sesshomaru tells the tales- told to him by his mother- to his wife (an older) Rin, and son Rai (just want to cuddle them all).

Now before I get in onto props and slops of this image I wish to clarify one thing, so PLEASE READ CAREFULLY! (possible spoilers a head):

I know that Sessh doesn’t end up with Rin in the Manga.
I KNOW that he has this whole “Kagura fascination” thing going on, and I KNOW that while she may be dead- Manga’s have a way to resurrect characters and I’ve been told that that looks as if it’s going to happen.
Regardless of how icky it is to me, I understand this to be the truth, and I ask that all you people who are fans of the Sessh X Kag relationship not comment about how “Rin and Sessh don’t end up together!” or “Rin and Sessh, that’s just wrong!”, yadda yadda yadda. I don’t care if you comment about the image, just not about the content. I feel for people like and others who get their gorgeous work slandered because of content. You don’t like it? No prob. Don’t look. I’m not looking for popularity or pointless comments. These are not real people or stories folks. I can decide whatever I want is best for whatever character and that is MY business. Anyone who comments without reading this (and comments about exactly what I have asked NOT to), you better be prepared to get bitten by me.
Yes, I grow teeth and claws pretty quick, regardless of the stupid and plain exterior.

*end rant*

On a lighter note, I am glad to say that Dakota loves the image, and it really was awesome working on it.
Props to the background. I really developed a love for those! Even the atmospheric perspective!
