This is fabulous. DEATH is always amazing, but with added Greebo? ♥_♥ Plus, I think you've drawn inspiration from one of my favorite Kidby illustrations, if I am not mistaken - the one where DEATH is pondering the problem of Schroedinger's cat, I believe.

Your recipient is very lucky. :D

Yes, you nailed my source all right - that is the picture! Thanks so much for the very kind comments.

Oh, that is so cool - such an awesome medium to work in, and I love the way it turned out. And Death's eyes :D

The foil eyes were a suggestion by my friend & sister smillaraaq, who knows the depth of my wrapping paper collection, upon seeing this as a WIP. Thanks so much for the kind words!

DEATH AND GREEBO! I'VE GOT DEATH AND GREEBO!

*flails wildly*

dear Mystery Artist, you are seriously one of my favorite people right now.

this is amazing and so pretty and just perfect! I love Death's eyes and Greebo's tiny scar and ahhh! little kitty on a hourglass!
you made me so happy, I can't even thank you enough :DDD

memming and reccing so hard!

Aww, thanks! I am really pleased that you liked this: it was my first Yuletart and this is my most comfortable medium. I was really not sure how it would come out, in the end!

I like to think the kitten is You*.

But that's pretty amazing out of paper.

* Dunno if you've read the Tiffany Aching books, but You is a white kitten that ends up living with Granny. And, despite the fact she is an adorable ball of fluff, she has mastered Granny's trick of intimidating Greebo.

Good gravy, I had forgotten all about You! (And I'm behind on the Tiffany books, so if she's done anything in the most recent book, I've not seen it yet.)

Thanks very much for the kinds words. I need to get back to working with the paper some more. I used to do piles of it for cards, mostly animals and birds, but some people too.
