Alright, we're back. And Aude is crying again. You'll have to excuse her, this has been a tiring trip so far. Random fact of the day : there's a kind of moth in Madagascar that feeds on birds tears. Does that creep you out as much as it does me? : o

This page is the one that took me the longest so far. It's the castle - even though it's tiny and the detail probably doesn't matter, I knew you'd be able to tell if I didn't have a clear image of what is what in my head. The last time I drew it, I was improvising, and it didn't come out nearly as good.

I was glad I had a chance to show that the giants come in different sizes and anatomical structures : ) Only one person so far has guessed where my inspiration for the giants came from… It was the walking figures from Giacometti. Here's a decent picture of some of them, but try to imagine the effect when you're standing in front of them and they're three times your height :

Do you understand my fascination with them? It just blows my mind how basic figures like these can seem so lonely and tormented and desperate! *shivers*

Back to business: today's page is chalk and pencil over sandpaper, and the original (no text) is for sale for 75$.
