Description A Rurouni Kenshin fanart based on an excellent story on fanfiction.net called "Only the Beginning" (by: lolo popoki). I have her written permission to post a picture based on her fiction. Please check her out at:

[link]

Just so you can understand the picture. Her story is an alternate universe fiction where instead of becoming a wanderer who protects to atone for his sins as an assassin, Kenshin tries to atone by killing himself. This picture is the scene where his master, Hiko Seijuro is grieving over the body of his apprentice, Kenshin who had abandoned him years ago.

Drawn in pencil. Background coloring done with chalk pastels. Characters colored with colored pencil.

(*O* I love Rurouni Kenshin, especially the OVA.)

The pic looks great! The shading is quite fine and it contains a lot of emotion, atmosphere and story. I don't know her fanfiction but I'm sure she's very, very happy about your picture

So is the story it's based on, but it is so good! You should check it out. It's on fanfiction.net. It's called "Only the Beginning" by lolo popoki! (and it's FINALLY complete)

Hmm, I guess my first thingie didn't show up, lol. Well, I'll do it again! It's me, Lady Battousai654 from ff.net! Yesterday I said I would have to check out the fic that this drawing is based on and I did. I love it! It's awesome!

Wonderful drawing. I love the detail on all parts of it. I like Hiko's hair and cape...for some reason. They look nice. I love it! It's going on my fave list!

Ah! Thank you so much for the review! I was really excited to see it here I'm glad you like the picture. Hopefully I'll be able to post more of my work soon (need to borrow a scanner again *sighs*). And I'm glad you read that story (Isn't it GREAT? I love it!)

Well, thanks again for the comment. Just as with my stories, reviews on my art mean a lot to me!

I saw that series. Poor little red-headed basterd.

Nice picture. Has a very nice solumn feelign to it, and the folds of the cape are more than I can do. Good job.
