oh man i have to write a story about your picture, because we have a monthly picture contest and the chosen one will get a story.
Any thoughts you had while drawing this? A little bit of storyline or character that i can relate to ? Great drawing btw, it won by a mile and was also my favorite choice. If you want i can mail you all stories we wrote by the time (end of july)

Hey, thanks a lot, you are so kindly. Im so honored :nod:

About the illustration, I must say that it's a symbolic one, I didn't thought in a concrete story for this character. Don't worry to write in the way you prefer, everyone can take differents conclusions about the same pictures, so will be ok. And very fun to read!

So yes, please, send me your stories at the mail I attached in a note.

Thanks!

I'm relieved that you approve of our idea to make a story out of your picture.

First off, "due date" is on

1st of August,

BUT we are german writers, so i think you will get the translated copy in the first week of the month. I hope you dont mind waiting so long :(

Greetings,
Rob

PS: I looked for a "Nausicäa-ish, End Time" - kind of style. Like, caring about the nature even when civilisation has come to an end and everything lies in rubbles. The nature is part of the problem (maybe even the trigger/reason) so people are wary of everyone cherishing nature.Unfortunatly without great concept you will get only 2 different short stories (or poems), but if we decide to develope that idea further, we can adapt the story to a novel which will be published at least once every month (chapter-wise). But please don't get your hopes for this up, i just like to plan ahead a lot in case we have troubles with our current ideas. Honestly, i really liked your concept and a novel type of thing would be like a breath of fresh air to me.I only wrote with my fellow co-worker on action/thriller genre where the environment wasn't very detailed, which would change if we add a new story like the one i'm thinking of right now about your picture.

so anyway
stay tuned

Hey greywolf, thanks for take your time writing this comment, you are so kindly.

I love your idea. I readed Nausicaa time ago and it's still one of my favorite Miyazaki works. I'm glad to know that my illustration inspired you try to do that amount of work, it's a pleasure, even if finally you guys decide to do something smaller.

But since it's in german and I don't want to be a burden for anybody the translation to english isn't necessary.

Thanks again for your suport and time.

No thank you for your inspirational artwork. The translation won't be a burden to us, i swear. But only if you don't mind that we sometimes make mistakes because it is not our first language.

Thank you very much. I will contact you once the work is finished, until then-

Give it your best

Rob

Don't worry for translate with some mistakes, english isn't my first language neither and I bet you write a better english than I, heh.

By the way, another "thanks a lot" would be repetitive; take a big :hug:,

Arasdel.
