THANK YOU in advance: for a matter of time, I really can't thank for the favs I get, but I'm really grateful for every single one ^^

AAAAND this is the second complete version of it, and it's a collaboration with splendid : I love your version , dear friend, of course it's much more neat than mine (I used too much water for the background and purposedly made a slightly blurry scanning), but the best thing is the freedom you showed in the use of colours! It made it shiny and lively, and inspired me for finishing mine ^^

This is an image from the fairy tale by H. C. Andersen.
The lineart was copied from the original picture, and is this , so it was not just like the reference. I decided to retouch some details of the lineart, as always (faces, hands). The reference is an original illustration by Sani. It was made in 1966 for an illustrated series of fairy tales. Besides the books, they made also several editions of the series composed by books+records (and later, in the years, the records were replaced by cassettes and then by cd's, with mp3 too, lately). They are the renown "Fiabe sonore" (Sounded Faity Tales). The copyright of the most recent series (including the lineart) belongs to Fabbri Centauria srl.
