Artist's Comments

They say the alkonost has a voice so sweet that it will make anyone who hears it forget all they know... but her songs include those of sorrow, as well as joy.

This started as an adaptation of an unfinished piece by Fool ([link]), and although I redrew the majority of it and painted over the rest, his work is definitely still in it. See his original here: [link] Thank you to Fool!

A headless man had a letter to write, it was read by a man who had lost his sight. A mute repeated it word for word, and deaf was he who heard. What is the letter?

You can learn many things from children; how much patience you have for instance.

Ah, you've won me over. I'm not generally a pixel art fan, but this is really nice. I love the style and colors.

if you don't look hard, it doesn't look like pixel art but rather a beautiful tapestry that you would hang upon a wall. The colours are gorgeous and the pose is dynamic and classic all at the same time. Congratulations on the DD
