I am rarely in the right mood or state of mind to produce any kind of artwork but it will strike me every now and then. This started off as a simple sketch that I was playing around with while attempting to improve but before long it became much more. I guess I was inspired or something.

Anyway, I sketched this out then scanned it into photoshop to color it. I borrowed the shrine, lanterns, tori, snow and the celestial sky from several different images and kinda mashed them together for the background. I colored over the images and used several filters and effects on them.

Let me know what you think! Constructive criticism is always welcome as I am always striving to improve and be better at anything I do. I appreciate your comments! ^^
