Description Inspired by forthright's "Unspoiled"

Out of the corner of her eye, she stole glances at the other occupants of the room. Hostile-faced inu-youkaiβ€”leaders, advisers, noblesβ€”stayed well back, as if they expected her to burst into flames at any moment. They're not listening. They don't want to listen. It took everything she had for Kagome to resist the urge to slip behind her defender.

I love how *Everyone* looks like they are slowly inching their way to the emergency exit. "Quick before the miko turns us into perified-demon-ash!"

Actually, I got that "demon-ash" thing from 'Counting The Hours' ,but the phrase was just too perfect not to mention here!

I absolutely fan- Forthy-tono.
Now time for the new chapter of Clutter

You handled the crowd really well. I love how on-edge Kagome looks - her shoulders and shifty eyes scream her discomfort.

Everyone's facial expressions are so...expressive!! *for lack of a better word* All the advisors...their expressions and emotions are so mixed and yet so appropriate to the situation! I think that the tall guy is my favorite...you really draw crowds well, did you know that? It's appropriately mixed up, but they all flow together so nicely

And Kagome really stands out. Even if her colors and her general features are like theirs, something about her just really stands out from the others in the room. She looks so terrified and uncertain...it's amazing!

Thank you! The secret to drawing crowds is to not get caught up in any one person in particular. Try to imagine emotions, not people, and then plaster on faces to a bunch of dummy-bodies.
Thanks for liking Kagome, too! Even though this story is sorta all about her, she's not really in a lot of sketches. Sometimes I feel awkward drawing her in detail

I remember you asking how to make it look more finished and I said shading. But the coloring is making it more finished. Its looking great. Keep it up. Maybe you can make a book with this?!?!

Yay! I was looking forward to your next illustration.
Great work on the expression! One can really tell she just wants to hide away from their scrutiny.

Whoo, these were long in coming! I've been SWAMPED for the past 2 weeks; I didn't even get to doodle. Also, although I loved this chapter, I'm trying to be super careful not to copy the pose you drew Sess and Kags in

Hehe, didn't mean to get in the way of your creativity. On the other hand, I try not to illustrate the exact same scenes as you do, but sometimes those are just the best ones.
I look forward to seeing more illustrations from you, they are highly inspiring. So let's hope you won't get as swamped now.

I can just imagine the comments-- everything from her scent, to her clothes, to OMG,she's a miko?! Should we run? Would the Inu-no-taisho eat us if we did? Maybe we can sneak out the back...?
