Description

Does anyone wonder why the moon has a crescent form?
The giraffe can't sleep because the moonlight keeps her awake!
Every month, she starts to eat the moon.
She can't make short work of it, otherwise she might choke...
So, she nibbles pieces, drinking from the clouds sometimes.
After 14 days, the sky is entirely black.
So, the giraffe takes a nap.

Does anyone know why the moon comes back?
Neither the giraffe nor I know why.


I write this fable with a friend, I used photohop 7, I dont know how many time it took ( arround...32 hours...)

The description makes the painting worth all the while. Spent a while just looking at it after reading the description. Is it the coffee, or am I in awe?

You should seriously illustrate, if not write, children's books. Excellent stuff.

Awwwwwwww

I hope that giraffe's tummy doesn't ache.

Such wonderful, silverish lighting of the moon that's hard to achieve.

Wonderfull dreamy and soft. Would work very well as a children's book illustration or a poster.
Beautiful work, great concept, excellent lighting... just lovely.

I would add something constructive, if I'd know anything to crit.

You're getting my highest vote on this (+10 - something I don't do that often) and thisone is going into my fav arts list.

I purchased this off of Deviant and I just received it today in the mail. I was going to give it to my aunt for a holiday gift, now I might have to keep it for myself and buy her something else! I purchased a luster print and I was speechless when I opened it. It's gorgeous! I love this print, thanks so much!

Happy Holidays. :)
