Description This is not by any means my only recent piece, but it's certainly one of my favorites. I got a new sketchbook finally and when I was inaugurating it, I was listening to my purchased itunes songs on shuffle.

The song "Tears to Shed" from "Corpse Bride" came up. Which involves the titular corpse bride being depressed about how she can't ever be alive.

"Yet I feel my heart is aching
Though it doesn't beat, it's breaking
And this pain here that I feel
Try and tell me it's not real.
And I know that I am dead...
yet it seems that I still have some tears to shed. "

And for some reason it made me think if Princess Tutu who, as a separate entity from Duck, kind of gets a raw deal in the whole fairy tale. While I'm editing episode 18 of Princess tutu Abridged I sort of needed to keep in the mood, so I spent some time on this picture.

I think it turned out well

...but the background was a pain.

It's not really Ahiru as much as it's Tutu (The character from the story.) I always thought of her as being the part of Ahiru who still loved Mytho in the end. (If that makes since.)

But yeah. It's is very

Yeah... I kind of thought of Tutu as Ahiru plus Magic. Ahiru is a duck plus Magic. >_> If that makes any sense.

That means Tutu is a duck plus SUPER MAGIC XD

No, but I also thinks that's a good way of thinking about it. (I like to view things as multifaceted) But the premise of this picture treats Tutu entirely separately as an individual.

That is true. It's kind of like... Duck is taken possessed by the spirit of Princess Tutu.
