Thanks to brennennn for creating a poem for me to accompany this piece! I only gave him a theme - wishes, new beginnings - and this is his beautiful interpretation of the mood - which I think compliments the piece well, without trying to match:

From the middle of the night
and the clock rung mid—
I heard the tower overhead:
The Girl, The Girl is Free!
- Brennen aka brennennn

Dedicated to zoesobel since she's the pink diva!

Thanks also to memod for his honest critiques to help me along.. and LongStock for her beautiful stock photo for me to draw from!

Stats:
-Referenced Sugar World 3
-Looked at various photographs of tree bark to get an idea before I painted that part
-Rest was done from my head.

I created one brush for this project, for the tree bark, based on a splotchy watercolor painting I did in high school.
Rest was handpainted with a round hardedge brush, varying opacities and pixel sizes. Mostly 1px, 100%.

This is the full size of the painting - Fairy, mushroom, grass, flower, leaves, vines, the little mushroom monster, and most of the tree is painted as pixel art.
Submitted to the Genesis Art Collection Project for #Digitalmedia .
