"Alits”

This is the first illustration I did for Jim. I drew it for Universe Magazine, for the story "The opposite of pomegranates". I was a bit afraid since I didn't know the way he worked, but it ended up being much easier than I thought.

Jim shared his ideas with me and readily accepted my suggestions. What started being two small faeries stealing a child from a cradle became a single, bigger faerie rocking the child, and ended up being substituted for a she-yeti taking care of the protagonist. The process of creating the illustration was a lot of fun indeed!
