This is how I imagined the Childlike Empress (is she called like that in English?) after reading the book by Michael Ende. I have seen the film, years ago, and I hardly remember anything, but I think they made a lot of big changes and as far as I remember they couldn't catch the atmosphere like the book. Films seldom can.

:-) Elli 'Lycanthra' Mader replies: "Thank you! I like how it turned out, too, even if the background is messed up..it was meant to be transparent at first."

Ooh, this is just gorgeous! I love your style, and I think you've done a great interpretation of that character! Beautiful muted colors, contrasting lights and darks... great stuff! 2

very nice! it looks like it could be a cell from an animated movie about the neverending story. I loved that book when I was little. I just bought two videos of the latest version of it cause there was a chick on the cover in the coolest outfit I ever saw;^)

:-) Elli 'Lycanthra' Mader replies: "Yeah, the book is great, isn't it?! I wonder what kind of "latest video version" you're talking about and WHY I STILL HAVENT SEEN IT! ^_^;; Uahaha..!"

I read the book a few weeks ago (it was a birthday present, you see... *cough*) and I really liked it... though I wasn't able to imagine how she could look like. Now I can ! Thanks for this beautiful picture !

This is a beautiful piece of art. When I read the book I thought the movie didn't do it justice. I saw the movie before I read the book you see and I wished I'd never seen it after I read it.

Your rendition is almost exactly how I pictured her. Her face is exquisite. You've done a wonderful job here. Are you going to be doing anymore from the book?
