Adrian Ermolayev's illustration for russian tale "Snegurochka".

Snegurochka (or The Snow Maiden) is a character in Russian fairy tales, a girl made of snow. Since the mid-20th century, Snegurochka has been depicted as the granddaughter and helper of Ded Moroz (Grandfather Frost) during New Year parties for children.

Laudna, Witch of the Woods

Here is a crispy autumnal piece I just had to paint when I thought of the paralells between Laudna and certain Slavic folklore elements.

Have you ever drawn Baba Yaga’s hut?

Surprisingly no! Something to consider, definitely.

Perhaps it’s because I’ve learned about what the actual “hut” meant too soon and chicken-legged one never sat right ever since. Even though it is a cool and iconic image.

Mashkov:

He's fun! He's supportive! He's talented! He's the best friend an anxious bisexual Canadian professional hockey player living in their father's shadow could ask for!

Yaga:

Chicken house!!!

A piece I made for Of Folk and Fable Tarot — a collaborative project where artists drew creatures and stories from their cultures. This is The Magician, as represented by Ivan Tsarevitch, the Fire Bird, and the Grey Wolf, a classic Russian/Ukrainian/Georgian fairy tale. I love me a good-hearted wolf shapeshifter!

The project has already been fully funded on Kickstarter (yay!) but give it a look if it sounds like your thing.

Nikolai Vorobyov's illustration for russian epic poem (bylina) about Alyosha Popovich and Tugarin Zmeyevich.

Alyosha Popovich is a bogatyr (a medieval knight-errant) and the youngest of the three main bogatyrs, the other two being Dobrynya Nikitich and Ilya Muromets.

In byliny (ballads), he is described as a clever-minded priest's son who wins by tricking and outsmarting his foes. He defeated the dragon Tugarin Zmeyevich by trickery.
