This work took FOREVER. It's ALL in colored pencil and drawn on SIX AND A HALF FEET LONG butcher paper. Taking the picture and tweeking the colors were not fun. I want to put it on my wall but I don't have room. :< The text on the leaves and moon (written by me):

The Sun God had always been merciless. Sitting on his throne, he coolly looked down upon the skeletons and incinerated corpses scattered below him. Their cacophonous speech was always slurred with pain and agony. With their desperately reaching fingers, they clamored around the loose drapery that befitted their lord. They were nothing but bugs, filthy both in their appearances and mannerisms. He let them burn. The Sun God was enveloped in a majesty and brilliance matched by no one. Could anyone else wield such great power as he? Never. And yet, she had always looked upon him with scorn. The Nereid who thrived upon the lush waters of the sea sat at ocean’s bottom pondering the fate of the Sun God. In her mind, he was raw, harsh, and unruly. The beauty of the moon reflected in her deep and knowing eyes. Her movement emanated such elegance that complimented to her unwavering reserve. She not only moved with a graceful fluidity, but ruled with a poise that the Fire Keeper knew not about. It was her cold compassion that led her to accost the Sun God. The Water Keeper knew nothing of what was to come. Perhaps a war was to greet her. It was only natural, for they were both so different. How could fire come to understand water? But to her astonishment, her grave premonitions did not come to be. Neither he nor she knew where the seeds of admiration were planted, but it soon grew into compassion, then to adoration. The unlikely lovers encircled each other and in their bliss began to dance. As they laced their hands together, the glow of the Sun God’s light reflected sharply on the Nereid’s face. And with their mutual joy, came the emergence of a new life. The shell cracked as trees and other vegetation escaped their prison to reach for the heavens. Their leaves basked in the warm rays of the sun while the roots dipped their delicate feet into the glistening water. One by one, flowers opened up their pretty faces to congratulate their happy union. From above, a winking star slipped down to earth. In the guise of a single butterfly, it fluttered excitedly, and soon rested upon a welcoming daisy to admire the beauty of the world.
