Artist's Comments

A little gift for my friend :iconevilgrinn:.
Her character Shioban is searching for a dear friend, who's gone missing. It's a dangerous world out there for someone so small as they are, so hopefully she'll find him soon.

I didn't realize how much the colors resamble of Tove Jansson's illustrations till I started to color Shioban's black coat. Dry brush made a similar texture effect on the coat as many of Jansson's ink works hold, which was fun to try out. I love children's book illustrations! :heart:
It's an A5 sized painting.

Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo, flying across in front of a beautiful sunset? And he's carrying a beautiful rose in his beak, and also he's carrying a very beautiful painting with his feet. And also, you're drunk.

Niin epistä, tässä on niin vähän väriä mutta tää on silti elävä ja puhdas, jos mä käyttäsin mustaa noin niin kaikki ois vaan yhtä tuhnua. Ihana on. <3

Ha ! Just one thing, the thumb passed under the ring of the lantern, it's strange.

(In small view, I thought the skarf was a sort of "tentacle skarf" :XD: it was fun ... Huh ? No, I haven't drunk anything <_< )

I share your same thoughts about children's book illustrations. I love them.

For me, I always feel that you execute watercolor techniques flawlessly. You are great in coming with your compositions. I love the usage of yellow in different tones.

I enjoy your works, so there isn't much I can type.
