Sounds like a very interesting myth/legend :) I love how you've done this; silhouettes just make it more intriguing somehow (and murder scenes more brutal!).

I love the fact although it's a silouhette I'm able to see red ribbons. I mostly like the dog :D Very good job with the water, too.
Those two women are full of details and that's just wonderful.

I really really like it. :heart:

That is not a dog, I'm afraid, but a kid (young goat). That's brother Ivanushka who's been transformed.

one of the most beautiful fairy tales...
and that main phrase - Ivanushka Ivanushka, don't drink from the puddle... it is in my childhood memmories forever.

Such fluent lines, weaving and smooth...
:iconm-lucia:
So delicate and artistic, as always...! :aww:

I've watched some other illustrations of "Myths and Legends of Russia" and I was really fascinated. Congratulations :clap:
