JC,
no I have never done anything like that. I have done a number based on Fairy Tales for hanging in kids rooms. I did illustrate some poems I wrote, or adapted into poem form from older fables to read in my youngest daughter's third grade, however those illustrations were not nearly as complex as these pictures, as it generally took about forty hours per piece. I'll post one of the pages (actually 2) to one of the adapted poems below to show you the difference.
Ellamanila,
I've done both. I usually have 2 to 4 original duplicates, because it takes that many tries to get it exactly how I want it. Like in the moon over the mountains one, I originally had a vague face on the moon, but thought it made it too obvious. So I usually end up with extra ones and I will sell them, but keep the final one and make cheap prints. I've never shown them in the public.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
