This isn't a proper fantasy picture, but it's inspired by that fairy tale where a young princess has her brothers turned to swans. I tried to use simple colours to give some feelings.

Incredible blazing colors on the background here, contrasting nicely with the black silhouettes. I've always loved sunsets, and this picture is one of the best I've seen. No, really.

This one looked so great even as a thumbnail. Simple colour schemes always work the best, this one's a fine example of that. The forms of the ducks are so fluid, so right. Hey, this could also be from "Nils Holgersson", that's what I thought immediately when I saw the thumbnail.

Know what? Even if I know the story... I had never thought of it!!!

I read that fairytale when I was 7...forget what it was called, but was quite cool. you have a knack for--I can't peg it, exactly, because there is always the one part of the picture that looks extraordinary, just unearthly. it's the sky in this instance
