Serbian Fairytales - The Groom Snake

NJA3D · 28-05-2012, 01:06 PM

Hey there,

Long long time without a post, but i've been quite busy so i have an excuse, sort of

Anyway, i would like to show you the first illustrations that i did for a very interesting project i currently working on.
These illustrations are done for the book that is called "Serbian Fairytales", and the name of this fairytale is "The Groom Snake".
I'm trully blessed because working on this project gave me another chance to work with some of my dearest friends and colleagues, Dusko Bjeljac, Dragan Bibin, and the Master, Petar Meseldzija.

Stay tuned, more is yet to come

(i will update this post as soon as i translate the shorter version of the fairytale, so, if you are interested you can read what it's all about).

I missed you here really

And I'm happy to see fresh work. Some day I must a book illustrated by you - I just love this style.

Cheers!

Admins plug those!

Impressive artwork, artistically and technically, it refreshes the eye from the usual stuff that just "turn around".

I'm a bit bored right now by those people who just take some inspiration around and just put "flavours" on it, hopefully there's still some people that can -give from themselves- and more.
You know this lill' originality value, the interpretation bonus, congrats for da work and keep on this way!

Hey Guys,
very long time without a post, but i'm super busy working on an awesome project which i'll be able to share with you in the near future, so stay tuned there will be tons of cool artwork to show!

Until then here are the illustrations i did for the "Serbian Fairytales" book. The name of this fairy tale is "Peppercorn".
The story is about a boy that was born as small as the grain of pepper, but that didn't stop him to embark on an adventure that changed his life, and the lives of the people and creatures he met along the way.

Hope you guys like it
