I wanted this to be sort of surrealistic and dreamlike! I feel this music really suits it: [link] and I listened to it many times as I worked on this.
The galaxy/starry sky required a different approach; I had to dig out my traditional watercolors and make a new texture to that would suit the image I had in mind. It was actually a lot of fun!
Tala gave me a really interesting concept to work with, so I hope I did it justice!

Holy shit. First of all I LOVE that music from Spyro!!! <3<3<3 This came out so different from what I had originally anticipated from you, but I like it a lot more than what I had in mind! The sky is my favorite and I love how it reflects in the water, and that mystical feeling to it (ESPECIALLY with that music
When I asked for the background I was curious on how you'd do it, seeing all your other works. Thought it might be a bit of a challenge.
Im so glad that you had fun with this! ^^ I'll definitely be commissioning you again!!
Ill be sending you the payment as soon as I am where I can get on interenet not on my phone XD Once again THANK YOU SO MUCH. I really love this.

I am VERY please that YOU are so pleased with the result! I must admit, I was stumped at first on how I was going to get the galaxy effect right, while approaching it the same style that I always approach my work. Thank you for the challenge, I LIVE for challenges!
Plus, I loved working with your character. MUST I AGAIN SAY HOW I LOVE THOSE GLOWING BEADS?
Thanks so much for commissioning me, I look foreword to future projects with you!
Oh gosh, take your time~! Just Note me any time you are home again, no rush at all!

I knew the sky would be a challenge, but I like to give the people I commission challenges ^_^ You did amazing on the galaxy effect.
I wish I really had a pair of those glowing beads. I would wear them ALL THE TIME.
Again, thank you so much!

Well I think that's awesome! A challenge invigorates us artists- as long as there's something we feel we can do even better/differently, we have a reason to draw!
I KNOW. I so wish they existed. ;__; <3
