Description This is something I worked on for pretty long...stealing bits and pieces of time whenever I could, in order to finish it and now...it's done.

It is...well, me, in some way And my faithful two-headed dragon helper, in addition with a whole bunch of fairies, mermaids and other enchanted people and animals (there's salamanders too, yes ) most of them usually running around my studio anyway and kindly agreeing to model...well, they went doing what they do, I just painted

You will probably recognize some of the characters from the picture...some are from old fairy tales and myths, some from my own stories, some are just there, always present (yeah, blue and black cloaked gentlemen: Dream and Death).

There's also my Tree...those who know me know what I mean

At first, this started like completely separated project, but as it continued, I decided to make it my entry for "A 'FAMILIAR' AFFAIR" by and , which seams like a really fun and creative contest and you can read all about it here:

And, that's mostly all...hope you like this
Feel free to ask if you wanna know some character name or function Oh, yeah, and see it in fullview, it's much better that way

This is a really exciting piece. You can look at it for hours and find new things. I didn't even see the figure in the ink until my third good look. I love the dragon helpers. The floor looks good. You did well keeping most of your elements in proper perspective, although some of it is a bit off.

All together, this is very fun and it would be easy conjure an entire book series from it. This would be a great book cover.

Thank you so much, Matthew, first for taking the time to look at it and then for liking it, my friend. I'm very glad you enjoyed it

And, yeah, I was thinking about the book like that...so you think it would be worth of shot, making it?

There are definitely multiple books that imagination can create from the image. For example, a fantasy novel about a girl who transports herself into a fantasy realm through her paintbrushes and art, where magic can be done with art.

Maylar In reply to inspiredcreativity [2010-08-18 03:05:11 +0000 UTC]

Yup, I agree about that...and you know, what you said is not a bad idea at all, I think I can already imagine such a book...perhaps I'll try making it

YOU are my GOD!
This is like... it's... I LOVE IT!

The whole piece is awe worthy,
I can look at it for ages and still be
surprised when I see something new in it.

Amazing. Love the little creatures,
specially the one in the ink
and the snail made my day!

It suppose to be me, so I'm glad I managed to make it similar. Self-portraits are hard to make, even when it comes to this

Ugh, I understand you...I love drawing (it's a passion), but when it comes to drawing myself... Most artists has similar problem, I think...it's always so hard deciding how much and exactly what do we want to show, portraying ourselves...
