Kagurastorm

I'm pretty sure this is from the scene where Kagura has Kouga trapped in a whirlwind. He's being pummeled by rocks, bones, and lots of other sharp objects.

When I first saw this cel I almost passed on it, there was a top layer blood spurt covering most of Kouga's face. It looked fairly uninteresting, but a friend suggested trying to remove the top layer.

With the top layer removed this turned out to be a great cel. A little tidying up with a toothpick (to remove a small amount of stuck red paint) and it went from ugly duckling to swan.

To see what the cel looked like with the top layer, click the first "Sketch" link above.
