Description
Part of a series of backgrounds that I did for the visual novel Songs of Araiah.More information at www.vnovel.info
The name is my own title (a reference to Borges), it does not relate to the visual novel which it was created for.

Please don't do that without asking me first. That is a copyrighted paid commission for a visual novel game. Copyright belongs to vNovel Interactive, Inc. It is not a stock resource.

Well, I have had it happen before, I think they are just young inexperienced people who are new to the site and don't understand it is supposed to be a place to show your own work instead of others' work. The user joined less than a week ago.
I may have been a bit too harsh but we do have to let people know that this sort of thing isn't tolerated.

Nah, I saw what you put, I think you were very straightforward about it and informative on what to do instead. You did good; if they get upset, that's on them. Hopefully they're mature about it; they need to learn the rules if they're going to use the site.
If all else fails, just use the report function; since you're the artist, you should get proper attention from the site staff.

Thanks for asking, sorry but it was a paid commission for another visual novel called Songs of Araiah so I am not able to offer it for other use.

What I wouldn't give for a library like this! OMG, I think I'm in LOVE!

My favorite background illustrations always have that extra touch narrative work and tone to them. This certainly fulfills that!
The way the lighting hits that ladder...IT CALLS ME FORTH!
Great balance of colors you got going on with the books too. I love looking at artistic interpretations of libraries like this!

Gorgeous!

Thanks, this one seems to be the favorite of a lot of people.
It's funny to me since it didn't take much time to do, was commission based on pretty short time and just what came into my head with the parameter of "big library". But I am glad people like it

Reminds me of one of the episodes in Twilight Zone, where this lovesick man bought a love potion from a suspicious old man.

So many books... I'd really love to visit this place.

I've been trying to study the deeper meanings of the Borges story to aid my endeavour of creating an eternal library,
but all I get is a massive headache.
Great work though!
