Artist's Comments

This is Mala. She's a member of a species of creatures that are born attached to the ground.
Some are born near others of their kind.
Less fortunate ones, like Mala, are born seperated from others.
Mala is afraid of the people that visit her from the shadows on every occasion, sometimes she swears she can see them too.
She tries to tell herself that they are only apart of her imagination, yet the sounds of footsteps circling around her are often very convincing.
Experiencing these illusions for years has led her to losing her mind. She can now see the mysterious people when they're not even there, and has nightmares about them. But she can't run away from them, being attached to the ground.
So you can imagine the insanity.



I was trying to draw the most terrified expression I could. Being in Mala's position, I could imagine crying from absolute horror of the "people" that won't leave me alone.

Hope you enjoy it.

This is awesome - the terrified and being terrified by her expression... :/ I can't really explain it.

I love how the stump(?) is slightly twisted, as if to show her slightly twisted take on this.

Thank you so much! :)

I'm glad I was able to pull of the facial expression on her.

Not to be completely unrelated, but this makes me think of the flowers of Flower Fields in Paper Mario.

I mean, once the important flower characters grow into place, they're usually seperated from everyone else.

They don't seem to be too peeved by it, though. I guess the sunlight is good enough company for them. :/

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does the tree get arrested for woodland violence and murder-suicide? ._.

Hmmm... interesting comparison.

Well, they also had to deal with some of Bowser's minions absolutely torturing them, and not being able to do something about it, they tend to be a little like Mala here.

Then Mario came along and saved everyone.

Maybe if someone nice would just come to Mala...
