Such a nice composition, the background and the foreground are beautifully balanced, the setting is imaginative and enchanted but still calm and cute. And also Twily looks so relaxed. 10/10.

I actually wish you'd make a giant print-quality version of this so I could make a poster out of it and hang it on my wall.

You wouldn't actually happen to have a higher-res version lying around somewhere now would you?

The original size is 3999x3758. Someone asked for a wallpaper version which I'll work on when I get time.

So... uh... Would you mind if I printed it out in high-quality and framed it on my wall? <3

I will. My friendly neighbourhood print shop has something of a "reputation" so I might have to the capital to get it printed properly. Yeah... you have a fan in a very remote place.

@dstears: This piece will never get enough attention. In my loss for words, it's beautiful. It's one of those wonderful things brought forth by an artist that will someday be lost in the bowels of the internet, and then be gone forever when the sun blows up... <3 This is good and you should feel good.

Absolutely amazing, it's a surprise there aren't more comments on this.

With the size of the moon in the background, Twi being suspended over the water and the way you drew the stars, it gives me a very "La Luna"vibe... Was that your inspiration, by chance?

dstears In reply to Usagi-Asakura [2012-11-08 06:45:46 +0000 UTC]

Thank you
I think La Luna was subconsciously an inspiration for the piece. And I did actually watch part of that again to get a feel for the lighting and reflection.

This is probably the best way ever to get some peace and quiet while reading. So relaxing!

This is very beautiful, coloring is awesome, and I love how you drew her mane and tail. Plus the idea itself is very cute

It does seem like it'd be a nice way to relax. Although I'm not sure how she's going to make it back to shore when she's done.

Very nice work on this! I really like the great coloring on this as well as the creativity of the sky hammock she's relaxing in and the stars holding it up. Yeah when she's done with them she's gonna have to give them back to Luna

Do you mean like a desktop wallpaper? The aspect ratio is very... square right now... I'll try. 4:3 might work but 16:9 ratios may take some adjustment
