I must say that this work is impressive. The black and white stockings really add to the 'fairy tale' theme that you have going on (with the book you hold in your hands). It reminds me a lot of Alice in Wonderland, as well as the Wizard of Oz. It's interesting how you not only dress in such a way, but you use your surroundings to convey the 'I'm never growing up' message, as children often surround themselves with pillows, blankets and teddy bears. I really think that Tamaki-Sempai's Kuma-chan really adds to the picture overall. And on top of that, you have the book of fairy tales. Although I would have probably chosen a more classical version, such as a book by the Brothers Grimm, it is still a very nice touch. As for constructive criticism, I think that it would have been appropriate to not only use blankets and Kuma-chan, but to also use a few familiar childrens' toys, such as a Jack-in-the-box, or maybe a ball or doll of sorts. Aside from such minor details, this work is very inspired, unique and thought-provoking. Well done.

The stuffed animal, stripy tights, and soft yet clashing colors bring out such an earnest childhood atmosphere, and the fairy tale book in the center is the icing on the cake.
As a complete nostalgia freak, I salute this!

Thank you so much! This is such an old photo that I'm kind of embarrassed by it, but it's good that it's still making someone happy. :)

This represents my constant mindset. The fairy tales, the clothes, the merchandise and the colors all fit how I'm just one of those grown up kids 

a wonderful picture
