While I am still polishing and rewriting some parts of my fairytale, after having gotten some very valuable feedback from my beta-readers, I thought that I could post a “before” and “after” image of a picture sequence I had in mind from the very beginning.
As a returning reader you might know that in a very early stage of developing the story, I thought of this little furry creature scurrying around the kitchen, looking for something to eat and climbing up a kitchen table. It tries to get to the organic waste and unfortunately falls to the ground.

So here is the final illustration, featuring Leto, the hero of our little story (I didn’t know his name back then, though). As all the other illustrations in the book, I have painted it in one of my sketchbooks with pen and ink and watercolours.
Wondering what it might look like in the finished book? Maybe like this:

So interesting to see how the illustrations and the book will look like, must be great to be seeing everything coming together like this 🙂

Yes, I know what you mean. I’ve been working on a number of projects at times, sometimes everything seems to be taking ages, and then suddenly it all falls into place at once. You’ll get there 🙂

Thank you very much, Amanda. Yeah, you don’t hear very much about kobolds and I wasn’t sure in the beginning, if I should follow that route. But I think, that it will work out 🙂
