I have always regarded the relationship between a mother and a daughter very
sacred.
I have always believed that our mothers role is the most important concerning
our physical and mental development.
Have you ever thought of yourself being lucky for having a mother? I have.
Especially now that she is not here.
Scenario:
Mariel: Mom will you read me a story please?
Mom: Sure sweety, which one do you want?
Mariel: Oh, great! I want the one with the fluffy cloud and the flying
camelopardalis. I love this story!
Mom: Ok. Letâ??s see. Hm, once upon a time in kingdom far away from
here there was a kind little camelopardalis that wanted to fly.
Some kids never had and never will hear a story from their mothers mouth and
receive that warm goodnight kiss.
This wallpaper is dedicated to all those kids.

Texture on the top: My stock used (if you want it just send me a note)
Picture on the book: My drawing 4 years ago for passing the exams in
illustration with traditional media (colour pencils used). We had to create a
picture based on a story or poem. I chose a book with funny poems written by
Rena Rossi-Zairi (title: 321 counting with Rena)
Pictures that inspire me to draw the little girl like thumbellina and the whole
scene:

I would like to say that I have more than 50 illustrations of thumbellina as it
was one of the fairytales I had to evaluate on one of my essays at the
University, so you could say that I have been influenced by lots of different
characters and moods. I only present you those that I liked the most. I hope you
like them too.
Ps 1. I would love to receive a stricked critique on this piece since I see the
flaws myself but as I always say, I will not change the elements (certain
characters or objects that mean something to me) that you do not like, but I
will surely change everything else. Thank you all in advance.
Ps 2. I think that you must have forgotten me after being absent for more than 2
months. I am sorry.

The bond between a mother and a daughter is certainly very special, and this wonderful work of art communicates that idea in a very unique way. It brings back memories of when my mom used to read me fairytales ^__^
From the illustration in the storybook (which looks like it could be from a real children's book, I wonder what the story is about...), to those tiny red shoes, to the thumbellina-like girl, to the waterdrops on the leaves in the corner, every detail of every element is neatly created with care; and together, they create a magical and enchanting yet familiar and warm atmosphere. Amazing work mouritsa!

splendid work once more.
And so fast.
Such awesome detail! Love the colors and the idea is really neat. I think my favorite part of the wall is the bowl with the flowers. Very nicely done =D
nyaa! that history is for me!
gracias :3
such and excellent work, i love the book illustration
fav!
Amazing... this is really a stunning piece of work. Love the detail work in the storybook.
The only thing that I can see that looks a little off is the little
girl. I think that the arm on the right should be moved over a tad more to the
right because as it is now it makes her body look scrunched.
But overall, wonderful job on the colors and shading... and love the concept of mothers and daughters. Definitely a fav from me!
Ah I remember my mom used to read me fairytales as bedtime stories, and I still do love fairytales ^__^
Amazing work! I love all the details you've put in, like those red shoes, and the flowers in the corner (lily of the valley? I kinda associate those with my mom since they bloom in May, and mother's day and my mom's birthday are also in May) I love the way you've painted everything as well, it's so soft.
I also love the illustration in the book, looks so professional
(though it does look a bit odd that both pages have the same illustration)
yesh, it get highlighted xD and you have to teach me how to paint xD or make such a cuuuteee picture on that storybook xP
Ou yeah!
I have not words, so that i may comment,because this wallpaper is totally perfect!
I love original and artistic wallpapers!Really this wallie is the best!I like it so much!
wonderful work!~ your painting skill are wonderful!
A subtle sweetness is present allover the piece! It's amazing and so charming. It's also very touching!
My mother and I have a very close relationship and it makes me think about how dear it's to me!
Congrats! True art is about this: evoking feelings on the viewers!
this is so amazing and sweet looking . your painting skills are definitely top notch and I enjoy the illustrations . the small shoes are really cute too ! lovely work <3
At least for me, flawless. Congrats, because of the image...and the text at the beginning was beautiful, it really made me feel lucky for still having my mom. Thanks. Congrats.
I thought that looked like Thumbelina from the thumbnail! (that's almost a tongue-twister!). The painting is beautifully done, you have a great style. This made me pretty nostalgic because my mother used to read me fairytales and other stories when I was little (I still love them!
).
It's a beautiful piece.
Great wallpaper! I love the scene that you created. Also I'm thinking about the deep feeling that you used in making this wallpaper.
It looks very sweet, and really shows the affection between mother and daughter.
Great work with the painting and vectoring, i specially loved the images of the book, it's very well made and well imaged, but everything else looks really beautiful too i really love it!
Congrats! This is a wonderful wallpaper!
Wow. I was working on a wall with a similar concept but all my motivations been sucked away because you've done such an incredibly good job on this.
I love the camelopardalis...i? [hmm, how do you write that in plural? O_O] Great work
Wow!
Wonderful! The artwork is perfect! Congratulations
