alternate title: Bridge Over Troubled Water

......

This is the main event of all my gifts to (so far) I had to make sure she had the original before I could post it here. ;v; I'm really proud of this one; I think it's one of the best pieces I've ever made. There was so much love and time put into this - I hope it shows!

All of the characters here belong to her. They're a very important group of people from her story, presently titled Becoming Again.
from left to right, we have:
Retsu, leader of the pack ... a noble, kind, and responsible young man with some troubling history and deeply buried psychological troubles d:
Zaiko, the heartthrob ... lionhearted lady's man; charismatic and strong, with a true warrior's spirit.
Kiyoshi, the gay archer ... he's still a mystery to me, but I'm intrigued by this introvert. ;)
Yume, the girl of our dreams ... the main character of this tragedy with seriously troubling history and psychological issues of her own. The best samurai among them all... introverted, gentle, masochistic. ;~;
Juko, the sweetest person ever ... another of the dojo's many orphans. He's extremely compassionate and has a healing spirit; a crystal child. <3
Hiruko, the hot teacher ... head of the dojo, the teacher and caretaker of this rag-tag group of samurai. A benevolent man, respected and loved by many.

Now, before you go....... please take a moment to appreciate that bridge. (at least 75% of my time on this was put into working on coloring/fixing/recoloring that bridge and the water around it....... )

11" x 15" - watercolor paints & pencils, graphite pencil, gel pens, chalk pastel (+ white acrylic & watercolor ground cause of all the mistakes); color corrected in Photoshop CS 5.1
