Sjokoladesoep met Speculaas

The title is Dutch, but so be it (it has a nice ring to it, besides, English speakers don't know 'speculaas' haha).


Anyway, I've been working on this one on and off for the last few weeks (months? can't be sure) and I'm quite happy with the result. It's a spread, so the back, spine and front of a book cover.


Ink, watercolor (sticks), gel pen

All paintings are available through my Etsy store.

The Ice Caves: an Imager tells us how ice bears were formed from snow and ice
The Forest Caves: a Shaman of the forest elves tells us how squirrels were made by the trees themselves
The Desert Caves: a Sand Painter tells us how the desert sands created camels

Learned something new today...

...Namely PATs and Art-A-Thons... Hilarious.

Joined a PAT (Pick-A-Theme swaps, who knew?) and my group had the subjects Mermaid, Snow Queen, Steampunk Girl and Green Nature Goddess, so I went all out with my acrylics and love for children's illustrations.




Also joined an art-a-thon (marathon for arts... don't ask, okay?) at illustratedATCs.com. The theme is Halloween/fall and it's so much fun already! Here are two of the cards I've made so far. Done with acrylics.
