Photo preview of a series of illustrations I'm working on for this school project. East of the Sun and West of the Moon is a norwegian fairytale about a young girl who marries a bear king in order to help her poor family.
There will be 20+ coloured illustrations! /o/ And I'm soooo late!

So here it is!

I need more.  I just do.  It's a necessity.  I thought I was the only one for whom this story meant so much but I can see differently in the detail of this beautiful piece.

Actually, I was just editing some pictures from the project to post it online. They'll be on my tumblr soon, later I'll post some of them on dA.
And thank you. <3

tricklesky [2014-03-16 22:29:23 +0000 UTC]

I take it you have also read "East"? If not I highly recommend it as the fairytale heavily features in it. Marvelous artwork!

Heylenne In reply to tricklesky [2014-03-17 23:02:08 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, another person already told me to read it. I'll search it tomorrow after class. It'll be good to read it now that I'm working on this project.
Thank you!

This actually reminded me of The Golden Compass, really beautiful work <3

Heylenne In reply to kachin77 [2014-03-17 22:49:55 +0000 UTC]

Yeah! Sure it will remind you that. Because the author, Pullman (I don't know if your are talking about the movie or the books), was probably inspired by this tale and its variation, the White Bear King Valemon. You know, Iorek and Lyra kinda remind me a lot the girl from these tales and the bear king.
AAAAND, I'm absolutely a fan of Pullman, so my illustrations of the tale WILL remind the Golden Compass much more than those of other artists. I love those tales and I love Pullman, so...
