Mal is right, it looks like it's right out of the pages of one of those fairytale books where there'd be one illustration at the start and the rest would be text. It's lovely

Thankies. It's always great fun to see other people's impression of a character.

That is precisely why I enjoy commissions so much- I get to bring joy to another character's creator!

I can't look at this without thinking...

“But I don’t want to go among mad people," Maeix2 remarked.
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Maeix2 .
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”

Straight out of a story book and couldn't suit them more! I've already attempted clumsy praise in our notes, but this really is just perfect and, like I said, a real pick-me-up. It has this wonderful, whimsical feel with the
colour palette and composition that makes me imagine all the fantabulous adventures they'll have. Quite apropos given how often Mae has been a source of joy, inspiration, and adventure! I hope she loves it too!

Thank you immensely once again for your time and fantabulous efforts!

Ahahahaha, I'm so glad I captured your character as you envisioned!
Always been a fan of Wonderland, what a kooky and whimsical story!

I am so happy this was the pick me up you guys both needed!
I love it when my art actually makes people lighter, happier, and makes them smile a bit!


Thank you for choosing to commission this from me! It was sheer joy to work on!

You did a phenomenal job! The quality of your work has always astounded me and seeing our characters like this... !!

I'm glad it was a joy for you to work on as it was for us to receive it! I'm still smiling! Thank you so much again and I look forward to seeing more of your wonderful work.

"When did I get to Wonderland?" Maeix blinked in astonishment.
"I didn't say..." the Cat replied and slowly faded out, leaving only a tinkling laughter and half a smile behind.

Best definition of mad I could ever think of  

You sneakly lovely person you This is lovely Many, many fantabulous adventures awaiting ahead for the both of us. I love it

I'm so glad you like it!

Certainly suits us!  

Ah, my absolute pleasure! I've always chased after nettlebeast 's commissions and when I snagged a slot (thank you lucky star!), I couldn't think of anything better and she did a stunning job. Certainly, any story book we'd end up in would be full of wonder... and definitely a bit of madness.

I definitely do *purrs happily* After the last few weeks I certainly could do with a 'pick me up'. Relatives No matter how nice, they're always exhausting  On the other hand, it meant I finally got around to starting two whole new stories, so yay for that  

*chuckles* That it does A little TOO well

She's got a wonderful style for storybook illustrations  I can certainly see several of your characters running about in those woods behind us too *grins*

Glad this could be a pick-me-up and yay for starting new stories!



I can picture the entire storybook of our (mis)adventures. ... Though now I'm concerned that certain characters are hiding in those woods.
