Tags: kalais, blog, illustration, pen, tablet, painting, tim, burton, alice in wonderland, mad hatter
From time to time I enter some contests for fun. It is good for skills improvements . This time I made illustration for deviantart contest "Picture Yourself in Wonderland." The idea was to present yourself as a character from "Alice in Wonderland" by Tim Burton. Well, here it is - Kalais as the Mad Hatter. I would love to detail it more, but I have not much free time lately because of work and I am writing thesis at this moment and I gonna finish it this time ;) so keep your fingers crossed! Oh, the new updates of my blog will appear kinda slowly because of the reasons listed above, but for sure I won't abandon pursuit of Illustrated Apparent Reality.

Tags: kalais, blog, illustration, pen, tablet, painting, asturias, characters, couple
This time a little different style than usally. I began this illustration with a couple of spots painted a few months ago. From spots scenery emerged. Everything inspired mainly by music track "Asturias" by the Spanish composer Isaac Albéniz. and by other music from the Iberian Peninsula. I haven't posted this work here, because the whole time it was missing something. Finally, I added characters, their faces represent my mood from that day ;) Small fix of few details a few days ago, and voilà, here's a new illustration.

Illustration to "Mouse in the wall" - Ted Cole's tale, the hero of John Irving's novel "A Widow for One Year". It took me about four days to paint it. Here are some excerpts from novel - my freestyle translation ;)
(...) Tom woke up his father and asked:
- Did you hear that sound?
- What sound? - interested father asked.
- It seems to me that this is a monster who has neither arms nor legs, but tries to move - said Tom.
(...)
- And what sound exactly wake you up? - asked the father.
- It was like one of the mom's dresses have come alive in the closet and tried to slip the hanger - answered Tom.
(...)
- It's only a mouse scratching the wall - said his father.
Tim screamed piercingly. He did not know what it is the mouse, and terrified at the thought of something that is covered with a thick, wet fur, without legs, arms and crawls into the wall. And besides, how could something be there?
