Bloodshed is best avoided, many would agree. But life is neither fair nor kind. Some moments in history are stained with blood. Many moments when the Yakuza are involved. Many moments, many knives. That is not Howl's blood on that knife. Rather, the blood of one he was too late to protect. Why does it always fall apart? Fire and fury, blaze and beast. Rage erupts and takes form, that of a raging lion. A beast. A Dragon. Maybe there will be time to save them, but hurry. Fight hard, mighty Howl, heated as Hell. Go forth, and lead a wonderful life. Save your nakama from the cold blooded war maker. Fate may receive you both yet.





So guess how much Yakuza music I was listening to while making this one. :P I started with 7, and then moved onto 0. I fell in love with this series so fast. As I extend myself beyond solely fetish art, I seek new challenges. I've many loves I wish to express in fanart. And why ever not have Howl and Hyde throw down for a showdown? >:3 My only gripe is that Howl is bigger than Hyde, but lets say his legs are more bent than Hyde's right now. Gotta get that dynamic intro eye contact for the final boss of this story. :3

Here's a version without the vignette effect, I couldn't choose which I preferred, but leaned toward the one with the vignette. https://sta.sh/0pm0z242g0o
