This drawing is heavily referenced from Disney Pixar’s “Wall.E”. “Wall.E” is one of my favorite movies, and I really like how the original story is actually a love story.

In case it wasn’t super clear, I actually referring to the loop in, uh, knitting.

When I was little, I had this picture book by Kazuo Iwamura, titled “14 Tikus” (Fourteen Mice) — it’s a series of a family of mice, fourteen of them: from grandparents to grandchildren, and their daily activities and adventures in the forest.

The books are BEAUTIFUL. The pictures are— Chef’s kiss. A raspberry harvest scene can cover a lot; from the diligent ones to the ones who’s goofing around, and on the next page, you can see the youngest mouse cried because they got too tired of walking. When they arrived home, the father prepared the breakfast — mushroom soup and bread IT’S JUST SO CUTE AAAAAAAHHHH.

I really want to convey the memory of the book on my drawings, and I really hope I’m doing a good job on it. Who knows, maybe one day I can be like Kazuo Iwamura-sensei, and created my own story books?

I’m SO happy with this drawing. This is one of the drawings that I go, “yep. THIS is exactly what I want.”

The prompt (“Moon”) made me super excited because it’s one of my favorite subjects: Sailor Moon? Batara Kala versus Batara Chandra? Apollo 17 astronauts singing “I was strolling on the Moon one day”? Dreamworks logo? Pixar Shorts “La Luna”? Chang’er?

I decided to draw Chang’er and I’m so happy with how it turned out. I love how I able to visualize Chang’er as the Moon with transitions to cloud covering the Moon. I also put space whale because IT’S SPACE WHALE OKAY.
