Hullo, do you like fairytales?
This is a short story I wrote.
It is about a boy who loves colours, but is tragically colourblind.
If you read it, thank you and I hope you enjoy.
If not, thank you also.
I hope everyone has lovely dreams tonight.

This is so beautiful. I found the comic on smackjeeves months before and I suddenly found this on deviantart just now. I've been re-reading that comic over and over and it's served as my inspiration for a really long time! I was so happy when I found this here

Thank you so much ! <3 I'm really honoured you like the story and art. I love fairytales for their surrealism, and I would really love to write some more in the future ! I've got tons of things I want to draw, but no time ;A;

I like the story and the artwork.. it complement the story well. Btw, what happened to the witch?
π: 0 β©: 1
haha, thanks so much
The witch? She took all the colours of the world and baked a rainbow cake. Then she ate it and got a terrible stomach-ache. XD

So the witch ends up with a stomach ache.. I was hoping for a sequel like 'Colourblind:Return of the Witch' or something like that >_<

ah! i loved this story so much, along with Noir and the Rainbow Man, i hope you don't mind but I'd like to print out Colourblind so i can read it to my little cousins the next time they visit, i think my cousin Abby would love it since she has taken to art like me.

aw, thank you so much ! I really appreciate that you read both stories
Yes, I'm actually trying to print Colourblind! I am taking a bit of time because I'd like to make sure that the book production cost won't be too high; my first time doing this and I would like to make it affordable for everyone, aha ;A;
Thank you so much for your interest ! I hope Aby comes to like it too <3

I'm not surprised at all that it won the grand prize, it's a really unique, amazing little fairy tale ;_;
And you conveyed so much emotion in this picture.
Is this available for purchase still?

aw, that is really kind and sweet of you to say ;A; Thank you so much ! I am very glad you enjoy the story and that this picture gives out emotion, it was my main aim
I am actually looking for printers for this book!

Of course I would like a copy ^ ^ I'm sure others would as well.
I really collect children's books, especially arsty, obscure ones. I don't know, they are just so whimsical and beautiful. I don't have kids yet, but they will have the best books ever

I just read your story (in fact, I read both, this and Noir and the Rainbow-Man). I do not know how to express in words my feelings, I can only say they are wonderful. Both by story and by drawings, are the best I've read in a long time! I'm totally fan of your art (β²β½`o)οΎοΎ~ β₯
I would love to see your work published and have the opportunity to buy them. Cheer up and keep up the good work!! οΌ*οΌΎβ½οΌΎ*οΌ

thank you so much for your kind words <3 I really appreciate it! I am happy you read both; I was wondering if NatRM would be as appreciated as Colourblind, haha.
Your message means a lot, thank you! I'll keep drawing!

ahh~ this page was so beautiful~
that gaze of his, the faint tear drops the washed out blue, just beautiful.
i really enjoyed the story! it had a nice and cute ending.
the ideas that you come up with always leaves me in awe~ :--)

ahh, thanks so much for your kind words <3 this was one of my favorite pages too. I really wanted to draw something more delicate than my usual style. I am glad you enjoyed the story and my silly ideas! XD Thank you so much!

Hi there
Oh you're always so humble about your achievements! i had no idea about the prize. This story is wonderful, and the illustrations fit brilliantly. I'm always surprise by the way you use collage. I've never mastered that technique, it gives such rich effects.
You should totally print it!
I'm your great fan! and patiently waiting for new works

I actually did not use much collage except for the first page with the windmills. Everything else is watercolour + Photoshop! Artists who have greatly influenced collage for me would be nokkasili [link] and charizen [link] Check them out!

You're very welcome, although there's no need to thank me.
Thank you though, I finished exams yesterday! Finally, a little free time...

s it was late, I haven't yet read the story, but the illustration itself fascinated me.
After reading the story, I can confirmed it's just as wonderful, if not even mot charming. It's a lovely work is all aspects.

That story was really lovely. Like that comment a bit ago I was thoroughly worried it would end up sad ! The current illustration is very nice and I am really glad you shared it. Great work !

<3 haha, thank you so much ! I am glad it came out happy in the end

*SCREAMS*
I JUST READ IT
OMG omg ;n;
It was so beautiful! At first I thought oh no this poor boy, is this going to be a sad story? And then it ended up being so happy and uplifting and AWESOMMMMMMMMMMMME >8D And of course, so incredibly beautiful! You can write and you can draw, such a wicked combo. I guess it's always kind of been a goal of mine to write & illustrate (or at least illustrate - I don't have faith in my writing abilities LOL) a children's book. You have so totally inspired me just now, it's nuts <3
π: 0 β©: 1
OMG PAI ;u;
thank you so much! I am really honoured that you read it and liked it enough! Yes, I am aware of the heartbreak potential a story like this could have, but I figured that the world is already full of sad stories, haha. Besides, it was written for a children storywriting competition, so I don't think children would want to read a sad story.( I still want to write sad stories though XD, next time maybe )
Omg, Pai you should try ! I am really curious to see what you can come up with with that wicked style of yours. : D I am thinking it would look really cool for a comic~!!
π: 0 β©: 1
You're welcome! Yes I suppose it would make sense to have the book NOT make children want to cry until the end of time and feel that life is hopeless... I wonder if picture books for adults are a thing, because I'd be down with that kind of bizarre and unexpected juxtaposition haha.
Ah man I'd love to! Comics are too far from my understanding though I'm extremely interested in them. I think a picture book would be an easy starting point and I could work up from there. I just have this issue with consistency...

Oh, this was such a great story, and the illustrations are amazing with it! Absolutely one of my favorite short stories! (:
