Description 'I am not lost. I am found
This wandered path is filled with fleeting whispers
Empty promises of better days
Silence, however, is stretching out her hand
β€˜This way’
Leave behind the cross roads and dead ends
You are not lost. You are found'

Something different, personal. All digital - Photoshop CS3.

Plain sketch and lots more updates on my blog: [link]

Your style here reminds me ofΒ illustrations byΒ Trina Schart Hyman... several others have mentioned Arthur Rackham, and I can definitely seeΒ some of his flavorΒ in thisΒ as well!

When I was child, there were some books telling the story of a rabbit.... I can't remember the name but the style of this picture reminds me a lot this little tale ! = ) In the meanwhile, it makes me think (most of your work I must admit) to Art Nouveau. Here it's about the colors, usually it's about the way you draw, very pure and the postures which are very.... sensual for some... = )
