Artist's Comments

An illustration for the Brother's Grimm fairytale, Cat-Skin - read it, if you dare!

I had to keep this under wraps for a bit because it was for a contest with anonymous entries. But that's all done now, so here it is :)

edit: Thanks so much for all the comments! I really appreciate it!

It's a disturbing little story, isn't it? I had the same problem when I first read it: I thought she'd married her pervert dad! Then I realized she'd married some other king and everything was okay :)

Also, I'm in no way condoning or supporting the fur industry - it's just part of the story.

I made a little step-by-step. Not really a tutorial, because there's not much to learn from it. But you can see it here: [link]

Cat-Skin by ~bluefooted is an outstanding illustration. Beautiful use of textures and colors really make for an interesting blend of materials, the artwork almost has a traditional feel to it! A very unique style by a very talented artist! (Featured by `cosmosue)

I love this...all the detail is great! Great work :D. You make me want to read Cat-Skin...I love the Brother's Grimm, but I haven't heard of this one before, so I'll have to look into it haha.

You never cease to amaze... this is utterly beautiful, but you already knew that :)

I cant get enough of your work ^___^ The colors are so beautiful, it reminds me of the Edwardian illustrators.

Ive read donkey skin (i think its the same story)- And it looks like you captured it. Grimm has such fun stories to illustrate.
