Fandom Stocking fill

[amberdreams]

I'd totally forgotten about fandom_stocking  until I saw a reminder today so I thought I'd have a quick shufty and see what was what. I found this one - a fandom I'd never heard of but hey! Samurai! So I had a quick look around, read a story by militarypenguin and voila! Speedy and rough as hell but hopefully the author will like it anyway.
For those who don't know, this is Samurai Jack and Ashi.

Lovely, I like the blossom petals falling around them.

Ta me dear. I wish I'd known how this challenge worked and spent a bit more time on it!

Oh, I love it so much. I said in my stocking that fanart of one of my fics would make my entire year, and I stand by that statement. Totally made my year. I'm also extremely flattered you took the time to read one of my fics and illustrate it, even if you're unfamiliar with the fandom! You beautifully did it justice, I really can't thank you enough.

Oh phew, I'm so relieved. I wish I'd known I could have taken a bit more time, I'd have made it a bit more polished for you. I enjoyed your story!

I just realised my link to your story doesn't work - but it does take you to the picture on Flickr so you would be able to download it or use Flickr's HTML code if you want to add the picture to your story. I'm happy for you to use it however you want. Or not, of course!

Just added it as cover art to the FF.net version, with credit to you. :) Thank you once again!

Don't know this fandom, but that is a smashing piece of art! I like that you chose a Japanese brush pen for this, what a fitting style! Love the line of Jack's nose and Ashi's jawline; her eyes and hair are amazing. The pattern of the pink blossoms is another great touch. Very cool:)
