Description
Hot off the tablet! Just finished these piece — it’s a girl out hunting trolls with her enormous Norwegian Forest Cats. Inspired by my dad’s stories about Norway and children’s book illustrators like Edmund Dulac and Kay Nielsen.All digital, Photoshop CS4.

Lol, I think most cats are purely decorative. At least mine are. ^_^

Two excellent artists for inspiration, if you ask me! The golden age of illustration was quite the bee's knees. Arthur Rackham's one of my favorites from that time period, though I liked the varied quality of Dulac's work - from oriental themes to classic fairy tales, he had a delicate way with watercolors.
And with cats as big as Norwegian Forest Cats, it's no surprise she's seen success as a troll-hunter!
