Concept art for A Kitsune a Camelot

This is what Hiroshi turns the boss room of an abandoned mining facility into after said boss is killed and exorcised, to ensure its master can’t just resurrect it whenever again.

He uses a spell called ‘Garden of Konohana’ and summons the little Japanese tea house separately. It’s put in one corner of the area.

The old mine caves/entrances are now marked by torii gates.

I used stock images for the trees in the bottom half and the zen garden sand floor. Everything else I drew myself.

Excerpt:

“Is Big Brother Hiro okay?”

A small voice asked, laced with worry.

“He’s perfectly fine, dear. In fact, he’s doing rather well. At this rate, he will be where he needs to be on time. As for the rest of you…”

She looked up to face four individuals, all sat on tatami mats in a semicircle on the other side of the table.

“You’ll just have to wait a little longer as well.”

One of them was a sickly looking girl with long dark hair and pale skin. She wore nothing but a cyan hospital gown.

“That’s good to hear.”

She said, clutching a lion plushie.

“How much longer?”

“Hm… I can’t really say. Time flows differently between here and the Material Plane.”

The girl pouted.

“You heard the lady, Ari-chan. He knows how to take care of himself. It’s a shame he was the first to go, though.”

An elderly woman said, seated on the girl’s right. Next to her was an elderly man, his hand on top of hers on the floor.

They wore matching wedding rings, as well as comfy looking sweaters and slacks.

“Yeah, but did you see how he clocked that guy!?”

The man said with enthusiasm, his Australian accent prominent in his excitement.

“Our new lives are going to be awesome!”

His wife smiled.

“I don’t doubt that. But don’t get your hopes up.”

“Yeah, Take-jii.”

The girl said.

“Somebody has to… has to die, remember?”

“You don’t need to remind us, Arisa.”

The fourth person, a man with balding brown hair and a stern blue gaze said. He wore a military jacket overtop a white tank top and jeans.

“How’re they comin’, by the way?”

Hecate waved her hand over the pool again, showing her different images.

A knight practicing swordplay with his squire

A child with coal black wings freezing in the cold

A young merman faced with a prospect he didn’t want any part of

A huldra happily going about her day

“I expect the second sacrifice to die within the month.”

Excerpt:

Before he reached her, Aglovale suddenly found himself unable to move. He felt several tentacle-like forces keeping his limbs in place.

He looked behind him, spotting Hiroshi standing there.

The forces revealed themselves to be Hiroshi’s tails a second later, moving with the kitsune as he turned the Duke’s son to face him.

“That was impressive, I’ll admit. But I’m afraid you won’t be going with us to Camelot.”

Aglovale growled as he struggled in Hiroshi’s hold, attempting to slash at the furry appendages with the glass shard.

It was unceremoniously knocked out of his hand, like he’d been smacked for touching something he should have.

Samson again attempted to get up. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

“[Holy Aura].”

Activating his passive ability, Hiroshi’s body shined brightly with a divine radiance that could be felt by everyone in the room.

Erica stared at him with awe, while Samson struggled to keep himself conscious, and the aura was the last thing he saw before he finally collapsed.

A little expression-drawing practice with my main character

I think I did good

[a-kitsune-in-camelot]

Lady Igcalor, Lord Tersaxum and Lord Aquacies

The other three heralds summoned to Alania before the events of AKIC. They represent the elements of fire, earth and water respectively.

The original Five Heralds were summoned to the Kingdom of Alania 500 years ago by the Goddess Hecate to help quell the civil war tearing apart the country.

Lady Igcalor was a woman living in 1800s India, in the Victorian era.

She was a weaver by trade, and did good work, but she also had troubles in the home due to her husband’s… habits and resulting financial troubles.

Her name was Iditya Bajwa.

She died in a house fire.

Upon rebirth, took up the bow and stayed back from the front lines, preferring to snipe at her enemies from a distance.

She loved to fly, soaring high into the sky on wings of fire. She also liked to just be active in general, practicing with various fiery weapons and playing sports.

There are legends that say her and Lord Tersaxum were together.

His name was Friedrich Schmidt.

He hailed from Germany in the 1800s, working as a miner and blacksmith.

He died from a cave in, and upon rebirth, he used the opportunity to craft a better life for himself.

He helped Lady Chalyferrum learn how to forge various items and discovered several useful minerals underground.

He also helped build the railroad that, unfortunately, was never completed.

He was overall a good man that enjoyed good food and could appreciate a well crafted weapon.

He was considered the leader of the Five Heralds of his time, acting as the rock that kept the rest of them sane.

Lastly, Lord Aquacies hailed from Greenland, where he lived as an ice fisher by trade. He was of Inuit descent, with some Danish in his blood as well.

His name was Atka Jorgensen.

He died from blunt force trauma to the head, which he believed to be from a dog sled that accidentally hit him during a storm.

Upon rebirth, he lived by the northern shores of the country, where he met and befriended a white snake that became his familiar.

He specialized in water magic, creating various constructs out of ice. His signature weapons were a harpoon and a whip.

He was also often depicted using his turtle’s shell as a shield.

These three heralds were eventually defeated by individuals named Bartholomew Riverside, Johan Golden, and Evelyn Crimstone, all of whom wielded forbidden treasures.
