"Tif and Gimmi" by Elena Vanin

(2005 - watercolor - 6x9")

Here is my first publishing after LOTS of time!

Aehm, well, of course, Tif is a very young very smart giant spider and Gimmi, you can see, is a baby beholder.
It's all about D&D.
My character is the drow A'hrad'na and was given Tif her by her aunt (who isn't her real aunt but this is another story).
Tif acts like a kid and always dreams of himself as a hero, so his mom (me) got him a crown and a red mantle (on his request... ask the game master it's not my fault!). Once, the party went to meet a strange human necromancer Arius (being strange for a lot of reasons) and there we found Gimmi, that the necromancer's servant Laura had decided to keep because he was so terribly cute.
So Tif and Gimmi started playing and I just couldn't take a picture of the two (not so) little pests!

If you think that Tif is a bit pushed down in the composition, so do I, but in the beginnig it was just a portrait of Gimmi, then he started playing with Tif and I had to add the little giant spider!
Uhm, and it was my first attempt with liquid (not tablet) watercolors, and I must say they're great.

By the way, both prints and original are available, please contact me if you are interested.
