Artist's Comments

I'm stupidly in love with this book and it takes a LOT to get me to read a book (even short ones like this).

About the movie, I'm not gonna go into specifics, but I just didn't like a lot of the changes they made (ending, especially, as well as the Other Father's fate.). Rest of it was great and the visuals (not the 3D, the actual stop-motion) blew my MIND.

Anyway, the painting! This was done on a canvas the size of my hand; never worked this small before with acrylics. I actually resorted to use pins and needles (har har) to paint some details.

I suck at backgrounds so I'm not happy with that.

Some touch-ups in photoshop.

You captured the creepy vibe of both the book and the (few) clips of the movie I have seen, as well as the movie's style. Lovely work. This makes waiting for the movie a little less painful.

Ooo, I like the vivid colors. It's got that consistent storybook feel. ....d-damn, took me a moment to see the evil figure. :O; Nice subtle way you worked that in.

Pins & needles. :XD: I've done similar techniques, but with glues. Very resourceful of ye~!

I know nothing of the book, but I wish to see the movie.

Now, should I read it first, then see the movie? I assume the book's better, as that's almost always the case...
So should I wait till after the movie, as to not ruin the movie for me first?
That's a silly questions--I'll wait I think.

Well, the whole book's up on HarperCollins.com to read for free for a short time, but if you don't want to spoil the movie, wait.

Ah, this is really good! The needles in the air, the mother's shadow, and the texture of the painting make this picture amazing. C:
I loved this book too. I don't mind the changes in the movie so much because I never expected it to be made into one. I mean, it never seemed that popular. Stop-motion was an interesting choice for the movie. Whenever I read the book I always picture a black-and-white old fashion styled movie. :0

I dont really do anything so i have a lot of spare time that I very seldom ever use wisely. Though when I find myself doing something, it seems to be quite artistic.

I can't wait for the movie either. This should be one of the popular ones.
