I almost thought those were pies coming out of the tree.

but the big picture itself is really well put together. I also imagined the knight to b you for some reason. either way i love it

I LOVE. the colors and the beast's poise and anatomy are wonderful. chick looks swell too. my only recommendation would have possibly been to add some detail to the sky, as i think it being so stark from the rest of the drawing makes the rendering of her swing look a little inactive with all the white space framing it.
that might have been a text placement consideration though since its a book, then i understand.
