Description The Childlike Empress/Moonchild from the neverending story.
Felt like doing some fanart. It's the book that got me into reading, I disliked reading very much when I was younger. After reading that book I got addicted to reading

This movie always freaked me out as a kid... but I loved the child-like empress.
Very beautiful, soft, and detailed. Wonderful!

Thank you!

Oh my god, oh my, that is so extremely BEAUTIFUL!!!
I love how you captured her escence, specially the sadness...
Neverending Story is my absolutley favourite book of all times, I loved it when I was 12 (I think that was the first time I read it) and I still love it now that I'm 21... I've read it over and over and even felt that the characters were real... So you can imagine how this touches me
The colours you used are perfect, and the white outline certainly adds something different... Also, I love that you made her hair actually white, not like the movie (I hate the movies, all of them, they're horrible compared to the book) and, finally, I love love love the white cheeks...
I'm in love with this!!

I'm real happy you like it !
The book is awesome, i've read it a million times..my copy is actually fallen into pieces
I had a hard time creating her..She is such an important character, yet very absent in the book..
I almost went for pink cheeks, but it didn't fit with the hair..then I tried to change the hair color, but that didn't work either..the soft yellow I used kinda made it look dirty rather than shinny ivory..
Yes the white outlines is new, I usually go with black..
but black wasn't much of an option if you want to give a ice/transparent effect

I agree the movies suuuuuuck!!!

My copy is falling into pieces to I have to buy a new one but this edition isn't available anymore, the new editions are cheap and have a picture of the movie in the cover

It's awesome to see how much you think about this, that makes the art even more special!!

I think you can find copies without movie cover on it on the internet, amazon, they usually have several different kinds available

Yes I think waaaaaay to much at times

I'm sure, but they'll be in English and although I think I'm able to read it in english, I want the spanish version, as I read it in my childhood...

Yes that's normal
My copy is in dutch, and I wouldn't want to buy a copy in french or english.
