Artist's Comments

Illustrations from Kaguyahime -- the shining princess ... a traditional japanese folktale

"These were all wonderful suitors, however, she could only quietly refuse.

I am sorry, but my time here is to be very brief, so I cannot mary any of you. I wish only
to remain here in this place where I am simply happy."

"Everyone was very upset by this news. They no longer wished to take her from her happiness."

Wow. This is very nice. I like the snippet of the folktale, guess I'll have to look for the rest of it!

I am going to sit and be amazed at the length of her hair. o.o It's incredible.

again I'm so awe struck at your abilities to create such beautiful images with seemingly little amount of effort and even littler amounts of line - its all delicate and flows of its own, strong in composition and unorthodox + refreshing in the matte quality of your colour. The body language of kaguyahime throughout your work is so well decided and really works to convey to the viewer how benevolent and delicate a person she is - her dialogue conveys her kindness and her satisfaction that no people are better than others, so her refusal is a very quieting sweet sort - very very nice. I love this page! Your sentences included are so appropriate and I don't feel the story is lacking at all. ; ;

oh my... *speechless*
this could also be a pic of my beloved yumemi... so little is seen but still there's so much emotion in this. quiet, sad, shy... thoughtful.

love this. and it's my favourite from this series of yours :heart:

Thanks so much. I'm glad that you sensed this.. when I initially drew the image I wanted it to be as though it were all immersed in water... You have really flattered me, I thank you! It seems you have a rather poetic flair, based off what I have seen in your gallery -- a youthful talent, I look forward to seeing your work throughout time.
