"So... do you like it?"

"Oh yes", it replied, staring at the strange coloured box. "It's wonderful."

So this is all about swamps. Mangrove tree stumps, mud, weird creatures, glowy things etc. Yeah. For school, didn't hate it.

Cool- giving a weird creature a present is very commendable.

I love the girl's expression. She looks so pensive - exactly like she's worried he(?)'s not gonna like the gift. Excellent work, as ever.

i really like how everything loks more black&white and that there's only a few brighter colors but yet not too bright.
i liked the fact that i saw the drawing before reading the description, it gives a whole new sense to it :)

Very beautiful colors, they really set the mood. Your attention to detail is also very pleasing :)

Beautiful. The colors, the title...

This is gorgeous. I especially love the slight abstraction of the background, and the texture... such a wonderful deep, painterly look. Nice use of colour as well, with those few, small spots of red. =D

weeeell... it began life as a pencil drawing that I ruined by attempting to paint on it (I just never learn that I can't paint quickly) so I scanned it in and spent a little while drawing over bits, darkening other parts, highlighting others, just a lot of photoshop pushing and pulling really. I added some extra textures too, particularly in the background.
