I don't know anything about the book, but I'm curious how the book's age target influenced your handling of the illustration? Was it much of a factor? Very magical scene, nicely done.
Thanks for the comment. To answer the question - the book is definitely aimed at a younger audience, so I did keep it in mind- but I didn't overly concern myself with it either. Otherwise that would have gotten in my way of doing a good job, ya know?
