Вот что Ровина рассказывает о себе:"
Меня зовут Ровина Кай, я люблю иллюстрировать истории из мифологии и сказок, смешивать мрачные образы с красивыми. Большую часть работ я создаю в жанре фэнтези/научной-фантастики. Прежде чем стать иллюстратором, я изучала графический дизайн, и до сих пор люблю барахтаться в богемных вещах.
Но когда я закончила учиться, я не обнаружила сообществ иллюстраторов или каких-нибудь курсов в Австралии, поэтому я пошла на факультет графического дизайна. Только перед окончанием университета, я попала на конференцию по дизайну и услышала, как пара иллюстраторов разговаривают о своей работе, меня это очень вдохновило и я решила добиться своей мечты, насколько бы трудной она не была. Я поняла, что иллюстрация — это то, чем я действительно хочу заниматься."

Here's what Rovina says about herself:
" My name is Rovina Kai, I love to illustrate stories from mythology and fairy tales, mixing dark images with beautiful ones. Most of my work is in the fantasy/sci-fi genre. I studied graphic design before becoming an illustrator, and I still love dabbling in bohemian things.
But when I finished studying, I didn't find any illustrator communities or courses in Australia, so I went to graphic design. Just before graduating from university, I went to a design conference and heard a couple of illustrators talking about their work, I was very inspired and decided to achieve my dream, no matter how difficult it was. I realized that illustration is what I really want to do."

My submission for ArtOrder’s Tiny Dragons project! This was made with my usual mess of watercolor, ink, and colored pencil on 8x8″ hotpress watercolor paper…this time I really tried to pin down the value structure of the whole piece, and I’m feeling good about that aspect of it. :D

Goretober day 17:Extra limbs/eyes/mouth Couldn't really think of anything for this one so uh, get spidered lol.
The last mermaid! It was already several days into June, so I spent a little more time on this one. I’m very pleased with her tail. This mermaid lives in a lotus pond, and may be more of a water spirit than a physical animal. Thanks for following my mermaids! I’ll be collecting them in a little zine, so watch out for that if you liked the series. :3
Recently finished reading this (not this particular printing, but the 1975 Bantam version, with the cover by Pauline Ellison, below). I tried reading it many years ago at my mother's recommendation (she also got me into Pratchett, and many other fantasy and scifi authors), and for some reason just bounced off it.
I'm very glad I came back to it; I can absolutely see why it's considered a classic of the genre, it's nice and short too, so I'd definitely recommend it to either fans of the fantasy genre, or even people curious as to where a lot of things we often take for granted within the genre.
Looking forward to reading more! :)
