'Zarin der Vampire'

 

Hello everyone!

As some of you might have noticed I've been working on some illustrations for a novel earlier this year. 

'Zarin der Vampire' ('Tsarina of the Vampires') 

is finally available in print now and my copy arrived yesterday. :)
I am very satisfied with how the images look in print and the novel itself is great!

The print edition contains part I and II of the series which is a tasteful combination of vampire novel, murder mystery and historical fiction surrounding the assassination of the Tsar’s family in 1918. For more information about the book visit [amazon].

It's only available in German for now but an English translation is planned for the end of this year.

I am allowed to share the illustrations I've created so here you go.

Part I

 

limited colour versions for the e-books

black and white versions for the printed book

Part II 

 

 limited colour versions for the e-books

   black and white versions for the printed book

  

 Here is some work in progress of all the illustrations.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And some more photographs of them printed in the book.

Fairy Tale Bookmarks

Hello everyone! :)

I created four fairy-tale inspired black and white illustrations as part of my application for a very wonderful job. I liked them so much that I decided to colour them and then someone pointed out that they'd serve brilliantly as bookmarks so I made some which are on sale on my new opened DaWanda Online Shop. :)
Maybe some of you will find something there they like, I'm grateful about every single customer.^^

Oh and amazingly I managed to get that job too.
So I'll be the illustrator of this year's 'Sting in the Tale' brochure for Dorset's big Storytelling festival. Pretty exciting, I'm delighted.♥
That means I have to create up to 35 illustrations similar to these within the next 1 1/2 week which will be quite a challenge but I'm well on my way I guess ..(I hope..)

I hope you like them. :)
Personally I'm obsessed with fairy tales and just recently have really gotten into the Swedish ones which have their completely own charm. These ones are based on the German tales I grew up with (or at least the German Grimm's versions of them). Can you guess which ones?


Take care, Anja

 

 

 

Three Pixies

 The other day I felt like drawing some pixies. ♥

This is what most of my paintings look like in between...a somewhat delicate mess.
(which I oftentimes prefer to the final outcome though...♥)

'Briar Rose-Pixie'

'Kraken-Pixie'

'Lamella-Pixie'

  The last one is my personal favourite I guess...what do you think? :)

You can buy prints and greeting cards of these here if you like.

'Verdorben'

 

My contribution to a secret-santa action. The theme was 'Human Insects' and I was given the 'Scorpion fly'.

I'm glad that I finally found a use for those lovely dried flowers I've been keeping ever since last october.

 Hope you like it! Here's some work in progress:
