Artist's Comments

This is my first picture of 2009. :wow:
To be honest, I don't think it's very good...

Fanart for Mithrigil's beautifully written fic, "Wrapped 'Round in Kindness" [link] It's really very bittersweet.

Guh. There are numerous things I do not like about this picture, but in the end, I didn't know how to change them, so I did the best I could.

I went for a storybook-esque illustration feel here, with lots of little details (that were at the same time indistinct).

Art (c) *thecapturedspy
Characters, Axis Powers Hetalia (c) Himaruya
I can't remember who the textures were from, credit please if you do know.

Ahhh, I think the feeling came across very well! The warm lighting and the kinda "glow" feel over the piano and picture in general~ so awesome! owo

I remember I started reading that story when it was first posted, but I stopped. This art has inspired me to read it all the way through now. <3

Mmm, it's worth reading numerous times, IMO. :3

I love the topic and the warmth of the colours you've used - even the blue-ish green looks so warm! They suit each other very well :heart:

I love this story! I don't know how many times I've reread it (I have no life...) The style and and warm colors really makes it look like it belongs in a storybook =)

Thank you! Yes, it's one of my favorite fics by her.
I'm glad you like the style; I've been throwing around the idea of illustrating for a while now. ;3

Your welcome! I look forward to more drawings! ^__^

I also would like to do fanart of her work, but I want to ask permission first before posting anything.

such a warm sweet picture (the texture definitely gives it the oil painting feel)
