Goddess' Favour
I was so curious about Sein that I bought all the volumes, so I drew him, and he appears in the anime!
I chose the theme because I think it's cool that he's a naturally talented man loved by the goddess.
I also wanted to express his story of overcoming his regrets, so I placed birch trees (cowardice) near the bottomless swamp, since this is a northern region. For the top of the image, I chose flowers to represent him as he sets out on a journey, changing through his encounters: Hardenbergia (a fateful encounter) and Nerine (looking forward to meeting you again).
