狐の遊郭
Kitsune no yukaku (Foxes' Pleasure Quarter)

日本をテ一マにしたイラストという事で、何を書こうかとても迷ったのですが、大好きなモチーフの耳っ子と、絢爛な雰囲気のある花魁を合わせたイラストを描かせて頂きました。妖怪の遊郭っぽい感じで…。

花魁とかむろが描きたかったので、花魁は九尾の狐なイメージで、かむろは見習いっぽく子狐イメージで、髪型や着物は萌え絵っぽくアレンジしつつ、とっても楽しく描かせて頂きました！

The object was to produce an illustration on the subject of Japan and I could not make up my mind what to draw. In the end I decided to use my favorite motif of young girls with animal ears set among the dazzling splendor of a courtesan's apartment. It is evocative of a monsters' pleasure quarter...

I wanted to draw a picture of a courtesan with her young servants, so I based the image of the courtesan on that of the nine-tailed fox and that of her servants on fox cubsT their hairstyles and clothes are based on the moe style and I really enjoyed drawing it!
