Wow, that's great work! Good to see you and all your friends around here again, Tippie! ^.^

Aw thanks zeezee, I'm glad 2 be back :D ^_^ thanks buddies for the wonderful welcoming comments *tight hugs*

What a wonderful, colorful picture and a grat story to go with it! Here's to a new year, a newer you and more creative inspiration!

Awwww, really cute ^^

Aw thank you you guys! ^_^ ty Ozzie and Azure

D'aww. The story was just as, if not more, beautiful than the picture. Such emotion. It made me think a lot on so many facets of life and how, as "The Beatles" so put it, "All you need is love."

The whole story makes such a beautiful point about the arts. One must "Believe" in their work to make it magical. Do not fear what others may say, or what may be ringing in your head. It's the passion in your heart that makes the magic.

I really enjoyed how Apollo came back to life through the power of love. The way Tippie's visitors arrived to help remind her that she need not stay hidden in a cave of solitude was so delightful. So many of us need such visitors in our lives to remind us of how, despite how cruel life can be, happiness still is abound and will always be so long as we have faith in it.

A very good message with an adorable image to go with it. I do love all the characters here. Seeing Paisley, Apollo, and Ming is wonderful! I also think I see Lil' Pup, too!

Yosh looks so cute in a parachute. Little dino-ducky can't fly, but he can be like a flying ace in his soft padding and merry parachute as he giggles and wiggles his way back down to the Earth.

A very nice representation of the magic that can come from one's mind and, more importantly, one's heart. The work here, in my opinion, represents "Hope" and, with faith, there is always hope. Even in the darkest of hours, God will help us with a beacon as bright as the sun. We need only be looking for it and all will be well upon reaching that inviting Lighthouse of Love. :)

Aw I'm so happy you liked the story, I had so much fun writing it I almost wish I could animate my own version, gosh but that would be a year long project with me! haha.

I really wanted the "heroes" to be littles :3 I made them babies because sometimes the most innocent is what is most powerful. I guess Tippie fell asleep in a baby forest hehe with wild babies running around! The power of love is real, I believe in it with a childlike belief, and nobody can take it away! especially when I have great buddies to remind me ^_^ no more "cave Tippie"

and yup! Thats Lil Pup :D. I love Yosh in his parachute, he looks so adorable , Ming and Lil Pup are excited as their friends float down heehee.

I'm so so happy you liked the piece ^^ I think I might bring back these "magical babies" again in another piece sometime heehee, I enjoyed drawing them :D

That makes me happy to hear, Tippie. The "Magical Babies" seem like a delightful pair to whom you can use to help you evolve Tippie even more as she encounters troubles that may make her feel as if she isn't all that she wants to be.

The babies, to me, are like those friendly, non-stop, positive voices and hands with smiles to say, "Sorry you're feeling down. Let's play tag!" :)

And, yes, I love seeing Apollo and Paisley and Ming all by Yosh with all those beautiful hearts. Love makes it 20% cuter. :)

I think you could do a lot of soothing writing in your journals in how "The Babies" are a source of overcoming sad and troubled times. I journal lots to get my feelings out when I am confused, scared, or just need to uncork things that trouble me.

Writing and drawing are truly amazing in how they can bring you to feel so much better than you once did.

Agreed my buddy, agreed. Babies made of love and hugs is all we need in this world to make it through :)
I love writing stories to my pictures sometimes my journals are all littered with pictures anyway haha. I guess im just very visual.
Thanks for the wonderful and thoughtful comment yoshh <3
