Artist's Comments

I be running out of ideas on the moon... >_>' *wail!*

Medium: Gouache and silver leaf on wasli
Time: 3 weeks?

Aaaah... this is such a silly painting that I don't even have anything to say about it.

Back when I was a kiddie, there was this book I used to obsess over (Book of Fairies!) and since I was a stupid little kid, I used to check under every toadstool every morning for any sign of fairies. It talked about thread markets of fairies, houses in trees and ofcourse, magical trains! :D And sooo..... *sticks all that in this painting!*

Add to that obsessing over the more recent evil forest in FFIX and Xenogears...

Em... this is probably meh first painting ever in which the main charries isn't human-oid-ish? :O_o:

Yes, I realize the forest looks nothing like night time. ^^; *gets shot*

(Can you guess which one of Lul's puppets this is? [Peh... they all look alike! >_<] )

[The catagories have chaged again?!? Am I putting this in the right gallery? And why is the description declaring that I'm submitting something anthro? :O Wai?!]

@____@...

I'm having some major nostalgia attacks of late ...so I'm loving this right now...

This painting is brimming with such lovely details, I adore each and every single one of them :love:. My favorite bit is the grape type fruit falling into the little pool reflecting the moon. The colors look iridescent and gorgeous. Who cares if it doesn't look like midnight or whatever, I love them just the way they are, misty and magical *is drooling over keyboard* You could say it's a magical glow... or something.

Love the miniature aesthetics therein as well, they blend perfectly with the theme... :heart:

I miss the books I used to obsess over as a kid... And you weren't the only 'stupid little kid', I used to get up before sunrise and pretend our then huge overgrown garden was some magical place... Something a bit like your painting... *_*
