"An easing of grief, loneliness, etc.; a comfort or consolation" --Webster

I'm really not sure what spawned this image, other than the fact that I was inspired by the works of :devliiga: and :devenayla: to do something a bit fantasy/surreal. Why this particular image? I don't know, but it came very easily and, once the mental image was conceived, it monopolised all my creative energies. Even redoing things was virtually painless. *shrugs* Consequently, I have this odd feeling of accomplishment and artistic fullfillment. Something similar to the idea that, if I can do this, I can do anything. o_ô? It must be time for me to bite off more than I can chew again and get a reality check again. Ha ha.

*grins* I wonder if anyone recognises the model....
