APH: 4000 Years

[ On that day, in the bamboo thicket
I found that child and raised him to be strong.
Do you remember the moon which we gazed at together?
"Good evening!"
"The rabbit is pounding medicine, aru."
That sky will extend on wherever we go. ]

This song is horrendously sad. The first time I heard it, I cried... I still want to, every time I hear it. If you haven't yet, please go listen to it and bawl your eyes out.

This picture was done for a stupid - honestly, I cannot even describe in words how ridiculous it was, but I digress - History project. Basically, you had to do anything that relates to WWII and present it in any way you see fit. I decided to focus on the Second Sino-Japanese War and draw Yao and Kiku. *sniffle*

_{Please ignore Kiku's hand. I began to ink it before realizing that I gave him two right hands, so it ended up looking strange.;;}

I really must find a better way to scan stuff... my drawings, especially colored pencil works, generally come out looking horrid on the computer. Any suggestions?

Sakura Microns, Prismacolor markers, Prismacolor & RoseArt colored pencils, DecoColor paint pen. (That would be the white splattery stuff that barely shows up in the scan. Dammit.)
