Description My friend Claire and Stanley Tucci as Mr. Tumnas, because of reasons.

Fauns don't wear coats often, so fauns need help buttoning their coats.

So cute!! I was just thinking about Narnia. I want to reread the series. There was a BBC miniseries in the 80s which I had on VHS...memories I always loved Mr. Tumnus.

I remember that series! I think we watched it in school. I remember being seriously freaked out by the Snow Queen, and I think we were all traumatized by Aslan being killed. That shit is way too heavy for grade-schoolers.

Oh, yeah. I was usually pretty tough about that stuff - like, I've always really liked things that made me emotional. Aslan's death and rebirth is ingrained into my memory forever in any case. Aaaah I wanna watch it all again.

As much as I loathe the cold, this piece is particularly heart-warming and seeing a frosty background is actually a bit refreshing amid the humidity! Fantastic job, as always, love, and I have to say the matching coat and hat are absolutely darling!!

I'm headed towards Hawa'ii myself in a year and a half, so I guess I'd better remember all that I can about winter and snow! You're welcome!

I've read it/seen it, but this is just my friend Claire, who really likes Stanley Tucci and Mr. Tumnas, so I drew her with a Tucci-Tumnas.

Saw the pic featured a snowy forest and a faun. My mind was instantly drawn to The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe.

Great art btw

Snow + faun = instant Tumnus, I could tell even before I read the description. This is utterly adorable, just as I've come to expect from your work.

I adore everything about this. I love the color combinations used here, and I love the elegant balance between the details on Claire and Mr. Tumnas's clothes and the slightly abstract/beautifully uncomplicated style of the background. Also, their gentle, sweet smiles make me happy.

lily-fox In reply to Fuzzle-wit [2012-08-30 08:19:33 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much! I was looking for a brush or a stock image to fudge the background, but birch trees are so easy to do and so attractive, I just gave it a go. Glad I did! It's kind of Calvin & Hobbes-y.

oh, so sweet!
I suppose Stanley Tucci was Puck in Midsummer Nights Dream,
so Tumnus wouldn't be too much of a stretch for him
plus it is simply adorable!

lily-fox In reply to FangsAndNeedles [2012-08-30 03:27:25 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! Ha, he'd have to mellow out to be Tumnus, but that's totally within his range. My friend Claire just really loves him.

FangsAndNeedles In reply to lily-fox [2012-08-31 02:03:15 +0000 UTC]

understandable. Whenever I see him in a movie, no matter the
amount of screen time he gets, he generally ends up being my
favourite character just because he has such great attitude

Random-Star [2012-08-30 02:48:59 +0000 UTC]

Your drawings of couples (in any sense) doing adorably mundane things always gives me all sorts of warm-fuzzies. It makes me think of my fiance and how he'd help me button my jacket or I'd brush off his hat or we'd wipe food off of each other's mouths. Little things that you don't do with other people, that seem really insignificant to onlookers.

I'm rambling. Beautiful colours, and the little red noses make me happy.
