Sitting at work in Mumbai.
Who'd have thought it'd take me another year to post.

And the book is almost complete.

Publishing just because.
Well it feels like the first day.

Birds meet. Page 1

Here is the final spread from the first folklore in the book.
'How The Crow Turned Black' 

The crow in this is the light brown, yellow breasted + beaked bird.

sidenote: I saw yellow beaked crows in Ladakh, North India. 
Also replaced ugly odd bird with grey pigeon (right). 
Can refer to the post from 2010 here: Process work for spread 1

Instuba- the Tiger man

First set of illustrations.

Kahoryao lent me his tablet and with the help of that...coloring on photoshop was an easier task. These are my first experiments. Many changes still to be made. The scan were not very good so the outlines cannot be seen.

Instuba telling his sons to wait outside enemy gate



Instubah as the tiger with an enemy he killed.


Instuba and his two sons rejoicing - while enemies chase them.



When the enemies reach the river they only see a tiger and two boys.
(Coloring half done.)
