Description
Hello everyone!Earlier this year I have been creating some illustrations for the children's story 'Katschawatscha and the Blue Puppy' written by the Russian-German author Tatana Fedorovna. It's a Magical Russian Fairy Tale Adventure about ‘Brave Dogs, Courageous Knights, Elves, Tartans, a Princess and True Love’ – as the subtitle suggests. I have worked with the Russian-German author before in 2013, illustrating her novel ‘Zarin der Vampire’ (‘Tsarina of the Vampires’) so I was already familiar with her writing. This project was going to be quite different though, as the story was mainly aimed at children.
In her story ‘Katschawatscha’ is the daughter of the infamous Slavic mythology character ‘Baba Jaga’. Her mother strangely disappeared and left her offspring – who is a far cry from being a well educated witch – alone in her bewitched house that stands and walks on two chicken legs. The young witch is full of mischief and on one dull morning decides to dye a puppy bright blue. This is where the story starts. Different lines of action take their course and are all at some point connected through this bewitched blue puppy.
For more information on this project follow this [Link] to a quite extensive blog entry in which I talk about the whole process.
If you are interested in the whole story and would like to see all the illustrations I created feel free to purchase your own digital or printed copy on amazon.
There is a [German] and [English] version available.
Many of the Original Illustrations are up for sale in my [Etsy] online shop.
Thank you very much for your attention.
All the best,
Anja

Danke dir! ^^
Das sind Acrylfarben aber ich hab' sie so sehr verdünnt, dass sie am Ende wie Wasserfarben angewandt wurden..
