This is my entry for the German Manga Contest:
"Manga Talents 2010" within the Leipzig Bookfair.
This year's subject is "Glück", which has different meanings in German. Glück can mean, happiness, chance, luck, fortune or bliss. This is also the reason why I decided to keep the German version for the title.
The Translation would be "I waited for my [Glück] and you appeared..."

This painting is dedicated to my girlfriend Ann-Sophie Paul.
It is supposed to show my feelings when she's around, the warmth that she brings with her. I wanted to express the same feeling that I had when I saw Robert Chang's (Lunatique) Portraits of his wife Elena. There was some kind of atmosphere making me think: "Wow! That guy must really love her!" Although very different in style, they were my inspiration for my painting.

I hope I have achieved my aim.
