Artist's Comments

>.o Grr, the final got a bit blurred. Stupid jpeg...
And it's so PINK. Grah, pink. Iffy color. Looks good, though.

Anywho, this was done for a monthly challenge on ImagineFX.com. The theme was "The Great Illusion" and I decided to NOT do a magician or something (although those who chose to pursue that path made some FANTASTIC art o.o). I figured what could be a more powerful illusion than a child's imagination?

Many reference photos for the dresser/bureau/thingy, some lizard/snakes for the dragon. sxc.hu is your reference friend, oh yes it is. I'm still not pleased with the girl's face, but I just can't look at this one anymore.

About two weeks (thank god I don't work on the weekends anymore!)
Painter IX, PSP X.

Edit: Here's a link to the animated.gif WIP. Just because I think it looks pretty cool. ^-^

Awesome concept, and I love her hair!

Thanks. Originally she was blonde, but I liked the red much better.

Oh my god, this is the most awesome thing ever...I LOVE it, and can totally relate to it, even now...

If a crazy undead lich hits an idiot Ascalonian prince over the head with a magical ice cream truck in the depths of a parallel dimension and no one else is around to hear it, does the water STILL make a splashy sound?

I know! I'm so pleased with how it turned out. ^_^ I'm so glad you like it. It was really hard to figure out what to put in that mirror. There was going to be a lot more, but it would have become so cluttered...I like my troll. He seems friendly.

Yeah, I kinda liked him, too.

I think the thing I like most about this picture is it's...it's like it summarizes my entire life.

Just add in a LOT of characters from video games, books, cartoons, etc. in alongside all the others (and get a MUCH MUCH bigger mirror...>.> ), and that's totally me.

Yeah, the colors are lovely, and so realistic!

You know what's weird... I've been planning on doing a piece kind of like this for my "Childhood Imagination" portfolio... that is, I planned to do a little girl looking in a mirror and seeing something different reflected back... except I was gonna go with more of like, faerie wings and princess dress sort of theme.

I think it's really hard to draw people from the back, but she looks GREAT! (I agree that in the mirror her face looks a bit odd, though.. I think she mainly looks older than she's supposed to be.) Hehehe, I like the bubbles! And the cute dragonthing!

My signature could beat up your signature.

You should! It's kind of fun to create someone and then figure out their imagination. Yours sounds a lot more well-thought-out than mine. ^_^

I've been practicing. My classmates have interesting heads. :D
AND you fave'd it! *hugs*

0.0 I like watching the animated gif over and over again. :D It's so neat!

And you know, I just noticed that she's wearing a glowstick around her neck... I'd somehow missed that detail the first three times I came and stared at this piece.
