I've been wanting to draw this picture since the first time I saw 12K, but never got around to it. After rewatching the series this past week (did the Tai arc twice, even), I just had churn it out.

"He sees his reflection in the window and realizes that he is crying."

After watching episode 20, and seeing Kaname paint picture after picture of different images from the 12K, I started imagining what his reaction would be if he instinctively painted Gyousou. I figure that it would release some emotions that he cannot explain.

Series: 12 Kingdoms
Characters: Takasato Kaname (Taiki), Saku Gyousou (Tai-Ou)
Media: CS2, Intuous3

So sweet! Yes the Tai arc with Taiki and Gyousou is probably my favorite too, and it drives absoulutely crazy how the anime just left it hanging, even the books don't have a satisfactory conclusion! Great painting!

This picture is sooo sweet! I've always wondered why they didn't do more with this series. They left it off kind of oddly :( They don't seem to be planning to make any more either. I was hoping to see Taiki go back to take his rightful place as the Kirin of Tai and all that, but it never happened. It makes me wonder if there's a chunk of the series I just overlooked or something. Anyways this is beautiful. It's very moving, and I can imagine his shirei companion with her arms around him crying right along with him. +fav ^^
