Week 3 Longing Tropes: Pining & Innocent Physical contact; Hues: White

I don't have a definite title yet, but I’m thinking “Whispers of a Desire Longing to Bloom”

Let me know what you think of the title 🤗

This is a wip.

I tried really hard to finish on time, but real life got in the way (e.g. thumb pain, physical therapy, etc). I want this to look amazing, so I’m going to work at my own pace now that the event is done. And I’ll definitely post the completed piece once I’ve finished coloring it.

You showcased Kagome's "tenacity" so well in this chapter @chiaztolite! She'll find the answers she seeks no matter who she has to talk to (or threaten).

Your story has been so lovely so far @chiaztolite! The scenery is so vivid, and there's so much mystery in Kagome's guest! We can't wait to see what you've got in store for our favourite miko.
