This is a great black and white piece. I think you've done a great job. Your illustrations will really enhance the folktales. Nice job.

I love this work done in black and white. The clarity, detail is great. The impact is second to none.

Comment from Mr Jones


this has worked out a treat and looks really authentic. the process looks mighty complicated, but has an original and artistic twist. excellent in both composition and subject matter. also dynamic in b&w and a worthy subject matter.

    I think I dream! Another six star! Now you made not only my day, but my whole week!
    The process is mighty complicated. I try to simplify it. I made some digital-stencils up for plants and butterflies now. I tried just to paint the picture, but I could not get that woodcut effect. I will post some more in this style.

This is amazing!
She is a lovely fairy. Your technique has worked really well for this. It certainly does look like woodblock printing. Great for storytelling. Such a striking image using only black and white. Great details. You have just outdone yourself my friend.

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel


A very beautiful experience - this image in black and white is looking kind like Scissor type knife silhouettes -


Very beautiful and really Asiatic style composition, beautiful details work, stunning arrangement and landscape letting the fairy still in the focus point - a very different kind of art - keep going, beautiful result

    Thank you Don! Yours is the first review I opened today. What a start! You truly made my day, Thank you for your review an the stars. :o)
    Its pretty complicated to do that. Its digitally done. You need a lot of patience for that. I needed about 40 hours, but I had a lot of erasing to do. Its still an experiment.
