I've also made this available as a print in deviantART, too: https://zanoma.deviantart.com/art/The-Piper-in-the-Winds-38282759 However, it appears that deviantART is rather cruel when it comes to prints. x_x Their print sales are rather pricey. I hope I have a better luck selling this pic in Inkbunny.
This picture was drawn back in 2006, back when I haven't thought of turning this into a print. When I turned it into a print 3 years later, I slightly edited it so that the most important parts of the image remains within the bleed lines.
Update: Added the option to download the actual 4000x3000 file itself, for anyone to print for themselves.

The piper's tune echoes over the lands and sea.
This picture was really began as an OC session me and AlphaCat (https://officeralia.deviantart.com) had. I've pictured a furry cat boy playing a flute, standing at very high altitudes amongst the mountains, so I started drawing it out. (Originally, it was gonna be a human boy, but AlphaCat and I agreed that it'll probably be better if I draw him as a furry instead.) But, halfway done sketching out the picture, our OC session got interrupted, so we had to stop. So I decided to redraw the character again in Flash, and this is the result.
I have never really been a good background artist. For the background, I took heavy references from other artists on how the mountains should be properly drawn, and the drawing tricks for the sea, for example. The hardest and trickiest part is drawing all the clouds up above. I do admit that they look better when they look blurry. However, since I'm dealing with vectors, it's out of the question... Instead, I sorta just draw out the clouds and, hopefully, it still comes out nice.
