Description This picture was inspired by 1) the Princess Tutu guide book covers and 2) by Tomoyo Ichijouji's fanfic, Princess Tutu: Chapter of the Bird which you can find at: [link]

I was trying to go for the watercolor pencil look the covers had so I used watercolor pencils myself. The cathedral forming the frame is based on an actual German gothic cathedral while the rose window is taken from another source. The wings on either side hint at the true identities of the two OCs from the fanfic.

Note: Please do not use the image without permission

The scan did not do the picture justice because it sort of faded out the colors. Still, I spent a lot of time on this picture and I really like the end result.

Did the author just suddenly stop writing this wonderful story? I haven't found an update in awhile. I'm a little disappointed, because the design and concept of the story is captivating me *.*

Your design of the characters, however, is absolutely stunning. I love the stain glass windows in the bg, they make the pic so elegant. Sorry about your scanner, it does affect the colors a bit. Like I always imagined Caras to be a little darker, more raven colored hair, like Rue's, instead of purple. But I could have read it wrong XD This art, is a perfect representation of that story >w<

Tomoyo's pretty busy, and so she doesn't have a whole lot of time to write. But she is working on it, I can assure you of that (I'm her beta ).

That makes sense though, the bird logically follows the fledging. I have to read this fic now.

~*KA*~

Everyone looks pretty. The blue-haird girl reminds me of FishEye. But I'm pretty sure she's SUPPOSED to be a girl. X3.

It's Fakir. Hair color might be a little different since I'm basing the style of the picture off the anime guide books
