Artist's Comments

Roger was a common snail that died in a common snail death (squished by a truck) who went to the snail heaven as all proper snails do. And as all proper snails who arrive in snail heaven do, he got his fairy wings. Unfortunately, due to a disturbance in the force caused by a comet approaching the Earth, Roger found that his complimentary fairy wings had been attached backwards. And thus began Roger's great quest back to the mortal realm to find a way to attach his wings correctly, learn to fly and ultimately save the Earth before everyone else dies in a squishy death.

Corel Painter 9, Wacom Intuos 3 and I think I just spent 3 hours on the most ridiculous snail drawing ever. On the bright side, if I'm ever writing a children's book, it'll be about Roger and the ninja pear.

Wow really? Can I read the story when you're done? I think I'd have a good laugh :D
I'd probably be the first one to buy a copy if you ever publish it too, I have two little sisters who'd love that story :D

Heehee that's sounding more serious than I'm likely to go with it, but in summer when I have plenty time in my hands (or sooner if I get impatient) I might as well come up with something of decent length about Roger. ^^ I'm not exactly a writer's material, but when the bug bites, who knows. But yeah if I do write something decent, I'm definitely making it readable here or elsewhere in some way.

I bite! o,,o

How adorable! I LOVE the wings . . . stunning. And . . . are those tiny winged things being born from his trail? They're beautiful, whatever they are! ^___^

To dream silently in the faded words
Dripping colors off the edges of souls
Feel the thoughts wash oceans upon our eyes
And let us tie our fingers into knots
So as not to forget the memory
And can fondly remember still to dream
