That is some sweet artistry you've got going on there! The attention to detail, the colours, the subtle animations.. Also, the main screen reminds me of my favourite artist ever, Alphonse Mucha. Was that a conscious influence or just the artist's style?

Hah, someone on another forum had exactly the same question :). The menu style is generally inspired by Art Nouveau and Golden Age of Illustration, so while it's not directly based on Mucha's work, it's close enough.

Sorry for the double-post, but I just had to brag about the Prince's castle ;).

Oh my god, that is absolutely gorgeous. I need to work on my background drawing skills, I want to be able to do that someday.

I continually get more and more excited for this~

Holy **** that's good! Those are the first four words I conjured up in my mind. It has wonderful vivid color and attention to details. Kudos to your artist.

I'm so jelly of the artist's skills. Drawing background besides being hard takes a lot of time. I like the way the artist painted the palace blue almost as the sky, like if it was a mirage that belongs to the dream world :D .
