For this piece, I had a definite idea in mind: that big wishes can start small. Thanks to Brennen for creating a poem for me to accompany this piece! I only gave him a theme – wishes, new beginnings – and this is his beautiful interpretation of the mood – which I think compliments the piece well, without trying to match:
From the middle of the night
and the clock rung mid—
I heard the tower overhead:
The Girl, The Girl is Free!

This piece won a daily deviation award on the deviantART post:
This one was one of my only pixel art paintings, mostly because the zooming in and out process drove me nuts. I painted each pixel of the foreground very carefully, one by one, for such a small size piece to be so detailed.
