The Golden Snail

The Golden Snail is a popular folklore from Indonesia. It's about a princess who was cursed into a golden snail by a wicked witch.

Here is the wikipedia page about this story :

The Golden Snail


I remember when I was a child, my Grandmother (RIP) told me this folklore as my bedtime story. I often asked my late Grandmother to tell me stories, from folklore to foreign fairy tales before I go to sleep. She knew a lot of folklore, and I always enjoyed her stories. I guess that's what make me really fond of fairy tales.

I tried to do a different style to draw the princess from the story, here is Princess Dewi Chandra Kirana, The Golden Snail Princess

Every time I read folklore, it always brings me back to the memory of when I was still little, lying in bed with my grandmother beside me telling me bed time stories. Oh.. how I miss her...

brave and fantasy

I made these two illustrations for a competition.. Unfortunately, I didn't win it. But still, I like these two so I decided to post it in this blog.

The first one is an illustration of a brave boy who doesn't scared of things that kids usually hate, like get an injection, drink bitter medicine or speak in public. I drew him as a superhero as superhero always associate with bravery. Also, superheros are cool! (Well I do tend to like villain better. Yep, villains are cooler (Look at Loki, Regina Mills, Draco Malfoy, Uco The Raid 2, Mad dog and also that evil prince from Frozen, I forgot his name, but I do like him better than the blonde reindeer guy)).


The second one is about a girl who get absorbed into a fairy tale book and she's going to have an adventure with the fairy tale characters. Magical huh?
