Julia Lind hexes all you giving me the silence

You might have seen this badass puppet master in Helsinki. He plays Russian songs and looks all grim playing with his puppet trying to earn a euro or two. I took a break from cyber art and dug out my markers

Piece of progress

Ballpoint pen sketch I splashed some color to. A bit more chunky and psychedelic than my usual stuff.

Trolls are underrated. Character design.

I was sketching this in the airport of Kopenhagen. An elder man next to me asked me if she is an Inuit and am I making any money with this sort of things. Sometimes funny how many conversations with strangers I have ended up having because of sketching in public. It's really astonishing how curious people can be and what a good icebreaker a sketchbook can be.

Colored this sketch I made on my Armenian trip! (: I like that it turned out storybook looking like. The later one is just a random gang of bats.

I made a remake of the picture above to check if there's any improvement. There's one year apart from making the pictures.The thing under water is a Näkki. A Finnish mythological creature. Drags people underwater and eats them ! The real reason of Finnish drownings in the Midsummer Day! ;)

I tried to push myself further with perspective and colors this time. I hope you like it. I changed Paju's looks a bit more "beasty". I think I prefer this look better. Done with Sketchbook pro.

Paju is a forest creature that creates ghostly lights called "will-o-the-wisp" seen by travellers at night, especially over bogs, swamps or marshes. It resembles a flickering lamp and is said to recede if approached, drawing travellers from the safe paths. (Based on folklore in Finland and other countries as well). Paju is Piiskuhäntä's friend. Cunning guy who likes shiny trinkets. Done with Autodesk SketchBook pro.

Different stages of making one more tiny troll :)
