Welp. A little illustration for Wolf7. The sketch was drawn by my brother, who draws infinitely better than I could ever hope to be, so credits should go to him. I only did the tracing and lining and stuff, since it was originally drawn on paper.
WIP, I'm gonna get around to coloring it. Eventually. ~v~
@Harouki: Keep being awesome! We really like your writing, keep up the good work! Hope you'll like this pic!
It truely was an amazing story. I found the ending a little rushed what with all of them dieing so fast. Particularly Reisin. Seemed a little silly, although plausible in the Yukkuri world.
And I loved how the wolf, Mama Momiji and the Momiji sisters all came back at the end as kind 'Mister Humans'. Or so it was implied. Again, great job! I'd love to see it as a manga series, though...
@six You'd be surprise how quickly and unceremoniously death works, both in the yukkuri world and in real life.
For example Reisen's death was one supposed to be quick and random. It was supposed to give out the feeling of "wait...what?!?!" especially because no one saw it coming, particularly the other six yukkuri.
Not to mention the main theme in Wolf7 is "Nature"
In the beginning there are always greetings...and in the end, there can only be farewells.
speaking of farewells...I'm gonna go ahead and drop dead now.

I agree with SIX, the ending seemed a little rushed.
Ok, you're right with that one. The remaining story of the others was way too short. I don't know if planned it that way or you didn't consider it but I think that is the only inconvinient with the story.
What I meant by rushed was that, for example, each character has it's own chapter. Even the 'joining a clan' part is it's own chapter. Something like... 'We learn everything about Reisin and her parents. How she's bullied but doesn't say a word about it. Problems and upsides of being a bodied Yukkuri.
You end up doing this for each character but at the end each character get's like a paragraph(sometimes less) of them dieing.
That's all I meant. It was well done though, don't get me wrong. I understand that's the sort of feel you were going for... that's how it WOULD happen in nature, anyways.
As a side note, the entire SakuyaxMeiling side story made me sad...
I guess so, but IMO it is WAAAAAY better then what AMMO did at the end of Yukkuri in the City. hundreds of panels of them surviving everything...then they get run over by a god damn bike. And we don't see it. We just see a sfx of "splat" then two squashed koyukkuri.
True true. It makes sense, though. That Reisin was pretty weak anyways. Even if you did it differently for her, she wouldn't have lasted long. She was missing, what? Like an eye and an arm? Side note: I cant remember but did that Patchu/Blonde-Reimu bodied hybrid at the end live? And was Dosu-Momiji supposed to be adult sized or dosu sized near the end? But like I said before: it was well done and I loved it. What you did was fine it just felt a little fast compared to the rest of the chapters, is all.
That seemed a lot worse. Shows you all these trials this family overcomes then suddenly, bike.
she was gradually growing around the beginning of spring at the clan the wolf left them at. Remember how Marisa kept mentioning that she was growing and Momiji insisted that she wasn't getting fat? By the time Yuuka came into the picture, Momiji was a full grown dosu.

Yeah I remember I just didn't know if she was [spoiler adult but larger than the others or a dosu.
harouki said: Got a request if you or your brother are up to it.
How about drawing an image with two halves to it. On the far left side we have the seven yukkuri either playing or moving to the left side, in the center on the left side we have the wolf looking at them longingly. Right behind him, we have a Momiji Dosu staring toward the right side of the pic, a man, woman, and two twin little girls are walking toward the edge.
