That must have taken a long time. I like your use of shadows and light. Also your color and proportions.

It's interesting to read the comments here, and what people are reminded of... When I saw this, my first association was Alice in Wonderland (actually, McGee's Alice)

Oh, I love this. It reminds me of the mall monster and of nightmares I had when I was younger. The spiral staircases and tower bookshelf really give off a sense that the girl, and viewer, are so insignificant in this labyrinth of a library.

This is awesome, crazy maze like library. super creepy shadow library that really just wants to remind you to return your books or else. I think I want this library. Love the bookshelf in the middle with the cathedral windows not connected to an actual wall. Has a semi Escher feel too.

Read a little Fahrenheit 451 to make yourself feel better, then sit back and take a rest on some laurels. Great job.

Amazing work. I can't help but think of a twisted Beauty and the Beast.

Have you ever read the book "The Shadow of the Wind" because this is almost exactly how I picture the cemetery of forgotten books...

I read it, but to be honest I didn't think of it when drawing this... Maybe it was some kind of unconscious inspiration?

I really like this scene! The books look so.. well preserved. Who could be so lonely as to have the time to keep them all so well maintained? >w>

She really reminds me of Belle from Beauty and the Beast [brown hair, blue dress, library setting...yeah] so it's fantastic! And the extra effort on the books really paid off.
