Description finished sep 18th, 2k8. pencil, photoshop.
book and print available here

worked long and hard on this. not how i wanted it, but it'll do. [nodnod] the one in the dress is supposed to be inverted, like the background, but i couldn't get the constrast and dominance to work so i left her white.
the two cats were supposed to be red [left] and blue [right] too, but the colour didn't fair well with the b + w.

regardless~ <3
from my story of little white and little dark.
for coey. <3

This is incredible. What sort of work have you done to make textures so accurate? I never know how to do that...if I look at a picture (of, say, a tree), I tend to just draw that picture, and that doesn't work for making art that's completely original.

RGHHH THESE COMMENT PROPS DRIVE ME MAD. I love it! I wish the cat's fur had more texture instead of just being solid white silhouettes, but this reminds me of an arthur rackham or a ziegfield follie illustration. I could stare at this for ages.

Congrats on the DD~

From your journals it's evident that you're having some trouble, but this is hopefully a reminder to what genius work you can do.

Such an epic talent you have, and no matter how cheesy it sounds keep making art until you die!

Nice lines! The one thing bothering me is that the girl in the dress looks rather masculine. Something about the face and mouth...

I just can't stop looking at this! I love all the little details, and the way that there is such a story behind what is going on. The trees are phenomenal... is that a windup turtle on that branch?

Your deails and linework are awesome. Thanks for sharing with us.
