Serbian Mythology - Banished Demons

These are the illustrations i did for the second tome of Serbian Mythology, ”Banished Demons”.
It has been a great experience and even greater privilege to work on a such a cool project with so many talented people.
The super talented artist that also did the illustrations for the book are Milos Vujanovic, Ivica Stevanovic, Dragan Bibin, and one of my biggest role models while growing up, Master Petar Meseldzija.
Milenko Bodirogic is the brilliant writer and the editor of the book, but mostly the person that made sure this project saw the light of day.


Mora (Nightmare)


Babice (Midwives)


Talason

These are the rest of the illustrations. They only look complete when they are presented with text, so if you think they look empty or unfinished that's the reason :)

  9. Well, well, it was easier before looking at them several times, but I will stay with my first option Talason, I like houses and buildings and seems he likes it too. Also he looks nicer in the potrait you made him than Babice or Mora. Babice is too scary, too bad for me. Seeing you working with white background is novelty for me. The four pieces looks very good. Even without the text. Could you tell me where is the book going to be published? I would like to see more about this book.

  21. Greetings from Bulgaria!

    Very nice work, I like mythology and it was quite interesting for me to see your pictures. If I may ask, is the book Serbian Mythology serbian-only or it is in English, so that more people can understand it?
