Artist's Comments

"Far, far away in the land of ”I-know-all-your-dirty-little-secrets”, also commonly referred to as IKAYDLS, things are like they have always been. The rich put much pride into the castles that present their linage, mounted on top of giant elephants, which is the preferred method of castle transportation in this region, and the poor… well, let’s not talk about them. Being wealthy beyond their years, and also lacking in their imagination as to what to spend all this money on, the favourite pastime among these wealthy beings happens to be neighbour and family feuds. In the popular event of neighbour war it is quite handy to have a movable castle, if one should run out of ammunition or simply wish to see a change of scenery. It is however unfortunate when two of these giant transportation devices find true love amongst all the gun powder, because they are after all, living beings, and for the record also impossible to move if they don’t want to. And who are we to separate them?"

Sooo there you have it! I came up with this weird little story this morning, and made the picture immediately afterward. x) Hope you enjoy!


I dare say =mattwatier inspired me to put some stories behind my pictures... and that being said, we really need an "Illustration -> storybook" catagory within traditional art, not just digital art. ;(


Media: Watercolour, pen and pencil on normal A4 paper.

Story and picture is (c) to me.

Awww, the style is so cute~ I really like the lineart-colour wash here; it reminds me of those pretty illustrations from children's storybooks.

haha, that's adoreable. the one on the right (the she-elephant) seems to have a richer family on her.

Thank you very much!

So many people have told me that, and it's something I'm considering. ^^ Though it seems you have to write the story yourself to be really successful...

I love when it looks a bit messy, so I always water out the lineart. Glad you like it!
