OH Fuurinkazan you beat me to the punch man. I wanted to be the first one to note the BlackStar reference.
That was the song "Determination" i think but i could be wrong.
Awesome pic. Very creepy and mysterious and interesting all at the same time. You want to know the story just by looking at it.

I love the bears and your style of painting their expressions! I'm not sure exactly what message YOU're trying to put out here, given the title and the and the various expressions of the characters.
For me it reminds me of the time I was in the hospital and was drugged on morphine after having surgery. The morphine drugged my body to sleep, and I was having lucid dreams of phantoms looming over me in my hospital bed. Some of the phantoms (all robbed in hospital gowns) were curious, some where angry, some were upset, and some were confused. More and more phantoms would crowd around me, and overwhelm me with anxiety. This happened a few times. After the first two times this happend I became aware of what was going on, so like a regular dream I tried to change the dream and push the phantoms away. But they pushed back, increasing the intensity of the anxiety to an overwhelming point, and causing me to awake in real life screaming "No! Stop!".
Anyway, I love your style and all the details you illustrated in this piece! Keep up the fantastic work!

I'm definitely interested in buying your book~! After I sell some sketches off and raise some funds, I will certainly purchase it.
The image is lovely. The contrast between her expression and relaxed pose against the happenings around her is dramatic and eye catching... Nice work.

The details are amazing - from her watch (which I want) to her ring. I especially like the faces of her polar attackers juxtaposed against her worried yet placid expression.
Simply exquisite work.

I can't describe my feelings looking at this painting. It's just so beautiful. I actually feel like the girl could walk out of the painting.
