Description I started this a month ago, at Cornerstone. Cornerstone music festival is the greatest, most fabulous event in the whole entire universe.

Anyway, I felt like drawing something generically fantasy. I wasn't really sure about the specifics - I was leaning towards having her holding a mirror, though now I can't remember why I thought that was a good idea.

I was trying to figure out what to do, when I popped in my Promise Book CD (reminiscing about C-Stone last year and how freaking awesome it was). The song "Magic in the Well" came on, and it became quite clear what to do with this picture.

For a couple of days it was a sorta kinda Promise Book fanart, and then I went and saw "The Dark Forest," which is this really cool fairy-tale opera sorta thing with awesome music. I bought that CD and started listening to it whenever I would draw instead of the Promise Book one, so a lot of that went into the picture too.

So altogether, it's just kind of a fantasy-Cornerstone-Dark Forest-Promise Book conglomeration.
I like it.

Please full-view.

EDIT: After all this time, The Promise Book has a Myspace! [link] !

Thank you! The concept that my art could inspire somebody, or give them a "feeling," is one of the nicest things you could say to me - that's what I aim for.

Eee! Very nice! I've always felt a lot of love for B&W, and the detail is great. Probably took quite a while I'm guessing.

The only thing the seems slightly off to me are her eyes. . they seem positioned a tad close to eachother, but it's nothing at all drastic.

Kecky In reply to kidrasan [2005-08-04 06:51:39 +0000 UTC]

Thank you, yes it did. The stupid bricks on the well took the longest of anything, and they still look weird...

Ah, the eyes. I messed with them a lot after I scanned it in, because originally they were even more mismatched, and although I would yell at my sister whenever she would ask if I was going to fix them, I knew I needed to. I guess I didn't fix them well enough.
