Artist's Comments

"The Star Princess and The Hedgehog King"

"... her shyness didn't betray her beauty. Her crown was glowing of a thousand stars and her dragonfly-wing cape, of a million colors. The Hedgehog King took her soft hand into his own and invited her to follow him in his realm."


Not too long ago I wondered: "If I had a princess fairytale to write and draw about, what would it be?" And this particular drawing is what came into my mind. I haven't build up a full story, mind you, but just looking at this image gives me tons of ideas. Kinda like a muse to me; this picture says it all about me and about what I want to be able to do later. It's not perfect, but it speaks a lot.

And yes, the hedgehog's crown is a pine cone. XD

Note: The colors aren't acurate. They are lighter than the original. I'm having a hard time scanning it correctly. Her dress is actually with tones of blue, pink and purple hues. =/ Sorry about that!

Very delicate. This is an all around beautiful piece. It feels very complete and very well thought out. Nice work.

Now I'm curious about the rest of the story! Any follow-up drawings in the near future? :D
