"Never fear - SuperSmulis is always near!"

The inhabitants of the Land of Red Orbs are among the most happy and blessed of people, as they are guarded by the most genuine of super heroes; the Angelic Giraffe in private, Super Smulis whenever anyone is in need of help or assistance.

The inhabitants of the Land of Red Orbs admire the symbolism offered by red orbs of an unknown crystalline material, which they have sculpted with the outermost care. This is, so that the orbs may resemble those worn by their hero.
For those interested: red is the color of love, and Super Smulis really does love her fellow Orb-Townians; crystal is a symbol for clarity; and orbs are symbols of eternity. In other words, the orbs symbolise the clarity and love offered by eternal kindness and protection.

Those who know me the best also know that I adore super hero-movies more than most others. Why, I do not know, but I guess it has something with the other-worldly and slightly surrealistic allure they offer and tempt one's imagination with.

As Smulis is a personification of all the qualities I wish I possessed, this picture was destined to be created sooner or later. I have had it in my mind for half a year or so, and the idea first formed on paper in February, among quite a few other ideas, on the paper that later became known as the +Page.of.1000.and.1.Giraffes+.

Though now it is done, and I think it is one of my better pieces. However, feel free to tell me what you think of it. Before that, however, contemplate the idea of that everyone has a small super hero inside themselves, just waiting to be discovered.

I really like it, it's really surreal to the eyes of people. I notice you did put the same thing like Salvidor Dali did in his painting, Portrait of my dead brother. your work is very fantasizing with fantasy and a upside down kingdom of child's play. You have this super hero punching a star in a reality of the dreams of your self mind. I also loved you made the clouds turn sideways instead of upright.

Such a positive, appealing work It reminds me of all the good things that are hidden in every one of us

In all honesty, my favourite details are the clouds (magically drawn) and the tiny princess, on the left. I feel something doesn't look good when I look to the right. I don't know if a bit shadowing on the buildings would make it better.

Sorry for my vague vocabulary, but I have no experience as a traditional artist ^^ However, I can tell you I feel that the buildings are not on 3D.

Even so, it is a wonderful illustration

Thank you for your words and critique. They are most appreciated.

I agree that the buildings look a bit off. I had great problems with making them look just right, and I never succeeded. I will contemplate their shading, and see if something can be done in the future.

Once more, thank you.

Smulis är jättesöt! Dom där runda grejorna, orbs, påminner om körsbär. Hon passar verkligen som superhjälte

Wowww. Wow! This is amazing. I gaped when I first saw this. :3
Everything is so.. pretty! And detailed! I love those orbs, too- what a great meaning they have. I'd have to say my favourite part is the sky, haha. All that detail and the colours really blow me away. The clouds are so cute! And the stars are really beautiful. They frame the cutest super hero.
I love this so much, I wanna keep looking at it, haa~ I admire you and your work so much!
