Illustrations from Fairy Tale #5

(2014: Year of the Fairy Tale) where the emphasis is on gesture, emotion, symbolism and background.

This first one is of the pregnant Queen with one of her sons:

Delivering very sad news.

The young princess and the youngest of her brothers:

Come out of hiding...

The young Queen and King:

Together <3

Of the four, my favorite illustration... just because I love ravens :-)

 

 

A brother raven.

Sharing a drink

I was working on some "Princess and the ...(fill in the blank with your idea)" illustrations for Carla's "Fairyland" 'zine.  Princess and the python just popped into my head.  No idea where that came from... perhaps just the alliterative appeal???

Here is an extra illustration just for fun:

"Have a sip."

Why not... :-)
