I really hope you guys are not sick of Christmas already 🙈 and especially @ruddcatha who‘s the one I made this picture for as @inusecretsanta 🤗 ❤️
While drawing I was wondering the whole time if I should just put it on hold until next Christmas because I have so many other projects to work on … But I really enjoyed drawing these two so it was the perfect procrastination project 🤭
I also want to mention @rikareena who was my secret Santa and wrote such a cute story that inspired me for this drawing. Please check it out! ❤️
And some close ups because I lost my self a bit on all the details 😅
Omg! I got this incredibly cute story by @rikareena as a gift for @inusecretsanta 😭❤️❤️❤️
Please read it! It’s amazing! ❤️

When she'd asked him to go chop down one of the larger trees from the forest, he didn't question it. After all, they could always use more wood for their home's hearth.
But when she asked him for one just big enough to fit inside their hut, and to actually NOT chop for firewood, he thought she was insane.
And he'd told her as such, but she just flashed him that sweet smile that made his heart flutter and his tummy tingle, and he huffed--knowing he was helpless against her.
So he'd brought in a tree, one more wide than tall, and had even fashioned a groove into the floor of an area within their hut that was just big enough to snugly hold the tree's trunk, at her request.
Now the damn thing was just taking up space and was completely impractical and unnecessary. He groused and complained, asking what the heck it was for, but she'd told him it was a surprise.
Even more curious were the little knick-knacks she had been bringing home from the villagers over the last week. From ceramics fashioned by the ladies, to some glass balls of various colors and designs fashioned by the men, to wooden shapes whittled by children, as well as a variety of flowers and other plants.
Bah! Dumb woman. He was half sure she had lost her mind, but she seemed perfectly content bringing the trinkets home and adorning them amid the branches of the tree.
And he still didn't get it....
Until one cold winter night when he'd come through the door to haul in the latest logs of wood he'd chopped to ward off the incoming cold, and saw her on her knees with a candles lit in front of the tree--giving it an beautiful glow.
He froze, ears twitching as he just heard her mention the softest, "Merry Christmas mom, gramps, Souta," just as she hung another trinket up....he recognized it.
It was one of those small pieces of art, she had called it a picture, of her with her family in winter. They were all bundled up in front of the Goshinboku, surrounded by a blanketed powder of soft white.
It reminded him of the image still in the "locket" he kept around his neck, tucked away under the inner layers of his robe.
"Kagome..."
She gasped and turned to him, and he jusy caught the glimpse of tears in her eyes before she quickly brushed them away.
"Inuyasha!" she sniffled, "Oh. S-sorry, I didn't hear you come in..."
He walked over to her and stared up at the tree.
"This....was really important to you wasn't it...?"
"Mmh. I know it's silly but, it was a tradition my family did around this time...to decorate a tree in our home with ornaments we made...to share our love and spend time together."
.....
.......
"I know it was silly but, thanks for honoring m--"
"Idiot..."
"Huh?"
"Why didn't you say anything? If I had known, I--you, wouldn't have had to carry that burden alone!"
"Burden?"
She looked up, noticing his ears fiercely pushed back against his head.
She smiled,
"Inuyasha," she took his hand, "It wasn't a burden. Yes, it's my first time I'm away from them during this time of year but, I wanted to surprise you and share this with you, because you're my family too."
"--K-kagome...."
Her hands were so cold in his.
"Idiot....you're gonna catch a cold..." he kneeled and covered her hands with his own for a moment before pressing his forehead to hers.
A few moments later found a warm fire crackling as the two huddled together in front of the tree, Kagome wrapped in Inuyasha's robe while he held her in his lap.
And then....he could see it. And feel it.
The warmth that came from all the hearts that went into the trinkets that decorated the tree....seemed to make it glow brighter.
A Christmas tree, she'd called it.
And even though he didn't know much about it, he knew, that Kagome in his arms was all the "Christmas" he needed.
"I love you," he whispered hotly against her ear.
She smiled and hummed just before turning to press a warm, deep kiss to his lips.
"I love you too, Inuyasha. So much."
Heh.....maybe he could get use to this Christmas after all.

→ Please note that in the “What are you not comfortable with” box, this also pertains with you not being comfortable making something for a specific ship or character because you yourself feel you are not capable of creating content for them. It does not necessarily have to mean it’s a ship or character you dislike. I for example have a terrible time writing Koga, but I love Koga. However, I would put that I don’t feel comfortable gifting Koga to someone because it would be inadequate.

Who else always cries during this scene when the well opens one last time and their hands touch again after being separated for three years 😭❤️ (yes, this is why I drew this motif for “touch” in the @inukagfluffweek )
Yay! I finished another drawing for @inukagfluffweek ! :3
I had this picture in mind since I started with InuKagFluffWeek but I wasn’t happy with it for a while. But I tried again and again and now I‘m kinda happy with it 😌
If you‘re interested in seeing pictures of the drawing progress check out my Instagram 🤗
This picture of my selfmade Kagome and official Inuyasha Nendoroids took a little longer than planned 🙈 and now everyone shares their official Kagome Nendo being delivered 🙈
I started working on her when Inuyasha was open for pre orders and I didn’t wanted him to be alone xD so I got Nendoroid split parts from ChibiChopShop and spend lots of time molding the hair and painting the uniform :3
Finally!!! My new books arrived 😍 and like the years before my INKtober was Inu Yasha themed so there are many, many pictures of Inuyasha, Kagome, Sesshomaru and the others 😊
The book shows all 31 drawings and 7 of them are book exclusive because they can’t be found somewhere online 🤗
I just added the books to the online shop of my website 😊
www.schnee-amsel.de
One book is 6€ (aprox. $7.27) and you can also buy the bundle with all three books for 16€ (aprox. $19.38). I ship worldwide. Cat not included 😋
I participated in a little commission giveaway and I NEVER expected to win and I NEVER expected to get a picture that pretty!!! The original drawing arrived today and it looks even better in real! I LOVE IT! Kagomes hair is amazing and all these hand drawn blossoms and leaves! 😍😍😍
Go and give some love to the artist: https://instagram.com/fhyren.sk
2019 InuSketchtember compilation part 1 of 3! I know I’ve promised this for last year but asparaosij ya’ll know at this point that I’m a slowpoke bless you all for continuing with me ILY
It was fun and very interesting to see how the picture looks in my style ☺️ What do you think are the biggest differences in my style compared to the original? 🤔
I just finished the last drawing of last years INKtober and I can’t believe I’m finally done!!! 😱
I’m a little ashamed it took me almost a year 😅😅😅
This was the third year of INU|INKtober and I have to admit it was the hardest. I finished my master degree this year and ofcourse this was most important for me. So I skipped INKtober until February.
After my studies where over I decided to make another big step and did a reboot of my long planed InuKag project @aftertherain-doujinshi . Having the duty to post a page every two weeks gives me the time pressure I need because I‘m a lazy potatoe 😂 but also cuts my small amount of free time.
So yes ... this was the short version of my last year 😆
