Description
This lovely piece you see before you was actually the product of a terrible day; I literally failed, all day, and everything I touched got screwed up somehow.Upon coming home, and listening to a good mixture of Owl City and LIGHTS, I decided I wasn't going to let this day beat me. Although I technically started sometime close to midnight, and finished at what is now 5 o' clock in the morning, I'm still very proud of myself. Take that life! Eat your heart out! ♥
I was originally going to throw up some nice lyrics as I have on the last couple of pieces, but there's so much going on in this piece, and I really didn't want to disturb it. Hell, I didn't even want to put the watermark in there, and after 15 minutes of fidgeting with it, I finally just dropped it in there somewhere.
My inspiration was going to be "Plant Life", because I loved:
"If I were to pluck on your heart-strings, would you strum on mine?" With Makar being a little musician it just seemed so perfect.. but as I continued listening and shuffling through songs.. I just really like how "Fireflies" fit the mood of the picture. I couldn't choose, sorry folks!
I love Makar's character.. I feel like I could relate a lot to the little guy, and your ventures with him in The Wind Waker were just so adorable in and of themselves. There's not enough of him around, and I think he deserves a good tribute piece!
It's ultra late though, so I'm going to go pass out!
Ninight Deviants!

Lovely! There's a real sense of depth here, for the cel-shaded coloring style.

I seems a lot of people do! I don't know if it's because it's crisper and easier to look at, or what... But it's nice.

Aw! Well thank you! I've always wondered if people actually read those things; I know I'm guilty on occasion of just breezing through, looking at nice pictures and not taking the time to read the thoughts of the artist. It feels good to know there are people that understand the emotion behind the art! Thank you again!

See, this is the definition of art (or it should be) - turning your crappy day into a beautiful, colorful piece for thousands of other people to enjoy. Also, these colors make me so happy, you have no idea.

Thank you for the wonderful comment Mechelle, I always look forward to them. (:
It's just a fairy, not specifically navi; :3
Sometimes I feel like little Makar, an imperfect dreamer with a big heart. The original idea behind this piece was going to be a a lovey-dovey kind of lyric, and the fairy was to represent beauty and perfection as opposed to Makar's adorable yet misshapen form. Fairies all look the same.. but little Makar is in love with this one in particular, it's special to him. It's a silly concept I know, but it's more metaphorical than anything. ♥
