Description
2011 EDIT: This was drawn back in 2008 ( see original version here), but I recently was going to try and resize it to fit 11x17 (it was only ever an 8 x 10) ... and then I accidentally recolored it. I can't contain myself when renderbation is an option.Not to be preachy or anything, but it is May. A bunch of students are graduating college, wondering what the hell to do with their lives. XD And I kind of want to say to you what someone else said to me that made a huge difference in my perspective. More artistic growth has happened for me in the two years AFTER graduating than has happened during the 4 years I took my degree. The original version of this illustration I did at the beginning of my senior year, the current version is done 2 years after graduation. There'd be more artistic growth observed if I'd redrawn it too, but the coloring says enough, I think.
So anyway, onwards and upwards.
------------------------------------------------------
pointed out back in 2008 that there is another super famous, super amazing artist to produce this concept in this composition. T_T; But by the time I found out, I'd already completed this image, and I liked it, so ... oh wells I guess. Can't have too much Pan and Ophelia anyway. ^___^

lkajdflkjad were you? XD My memory is so utterly rotten, so I don't remember. [You might remember Negshin referring to me as a goldfish brain? She's right.] It's always nice to meet someone who remembers the forum and old webcomics though. <3
Also, I'm glad you like this pic.

The strong similarity between Ofelia and my sister was quite unsettling. Took me a while to get attached to the character.
Whoever did this before you unknowingly did doesn't change the fact it's awesome. <3

LOL, I was actually just browsing Drew Struzman's site the other day, and I thought of that when I saw this! Still, this is a totally fabulous piece, and it's definitely got you're touch! Glad to see you drawing again girl! And it was so awesome to meet you! Sorry we didn't get to hang out more at SDCC, but I ended up getting really sick and missing one of the days.. D:

So ... you had nothing cool or "attiudy" to say? (;
On an unrelated topic ... are you selling any prints at the moment? This room has become unattractive and it needs more art.

YOU ARE SUCH A BRAT. If this was an anime, this is where I, the female character, boot you, the male character, heavenward and walk away with little frustration marks on my head. you leave my typos alone. i knew there was something wrong with that when i wrote it but couldnt figure out what it was. -__-
<__< ... you know I could just send you a print of anything you ask for. I still have that mystery gorilla gift I need to mail you. o__o;

Audley In reply to blix-it [2008-08-16 23:35:31 +0000 UTC]
If this were an anime you would secretly (or not-so-secretly) have a crush on me - it would manifest violently and I would smirk and be terrible about it and by the time I realised how great you were and how much I like you you would already be going out with the most popular and best-looking boy at the academy who would also be my bitter rival as most clever person in the universe ... and for whatever reason we investigate supernatural phenomenon when we aren't attending to our host club duties or writing names in a book that kills people.
Meanwhile, don't give me stuff - I don't deserve it. I am, however, happy to buy any already made prints you have ... I don't want you to go to any trouble. I also have two things to send to you ... I meant to do it this weekend but I only just found the second item yesterday.

XDDDDD i love you. yes, that's exactly what us as an anime would be, but not... the main problem with your set up is that between the two of us, I am the man. \o__o/ I find that most asian-esque boys look better in skirts than I do, so why bother? That's ok though, I can still have a crush on you, we'll just be a yaoi. Or we could both have a crush on Nati and be rivals. X3 Actually that might be how we fall in love, a crush on the same girl ... who happens to go to a MAGIC ACADEMY HOST NINJA CLUB. And we go there too, because she goes there.
yes.
Also, you have cat ears.
MEANWHILE. I have nothing printed. XD I dumped it all on people at Otakon. I CAN'T MAKE MY FRIENDS BUY THINGS FROM ME. Just tell me what you want! I practically live at Office Max and Kinkos so it's no trouble, it will be like going home.

Audley In reply to blix-it [2008-08-17 02:29:24 +0000 UTC]
No problem - I can just be a dedicated cross-dresser without shame, and since our world is so permissive no one cares if I turn up to the academy in the girls' uniform (I'm picturing ... kilts and thigh high socks, maybe?). My behaviour will confuse you - you will be invariably repulsed and turned on, and no matter how cool your friends think I am, you'll find it hard to make a move on me because your parents will have mixed feelings until I win them over or they simply vanish and never appear in the series again until they're kidnapped and used in a plot that will ultimately lead to me sacrificing my life in order to save theirs even though you only really care about them for the purposes of this particular plot. As for us both having a crush on the same girl, you know I'll win her over with my non-threatening, sexually ambiguous charms (;
Cat ears. Oh no - then everyone will know ...
Curse you, Otakon. I can't make you print stuff for me ... I don't live at Kinkos, but still.

The composition is excellent, even if it was done by a famous person already XP. I didn't notice until you mentioned it, though, so don't worry about it. I love your colors! They make me wander jealously around my house.

Fabulous!! I LOVE how it turned out (even though it may be like the official poster - which I haven't seen). Again, I wish I was going to the convention so that I could see all your new stuff and fangirlgeek over other amazing artists who are there. Your stuff is fantastic though; I wouldn't be too worried . Good luck and good job!

Consider it saved. ^^ I live in a really artsy sort of city, so PL was big here... Everyone loved it. <3 Then I went to visit my family, asked one of my sisters if they'd seen it, and she hated it. T_T WHAT!?! Different people groups...

Celestialfruit [2008-08-07 23:19:14 +0000 UTC]
I really like the art, but you make Pan look so devilishly evil and Ofelia very well, subdued. I feel like it's quite out-of-character for them both. ;__;
On a different note, I love the stylistic trees and texture in the b/g, it works wonderfully~~

XDDDD as i drew this, the whole point of it became to draw Pan as a pedophile. Because he's such a brat.
