PUSS & BOOTS “We’re about to attack a fearsome creature who has ruined Carabas and is responsible for the sudden outpouring of cooperation found in the goblins and the placement of the candy cottage witch, and your foremost concern is that he keeps his drawers on?” Gabrielle hissed. “You haven’t seen a naked ogre, or you wouldn’t be judging me for my worry.” ― K.M.

THERE WILL BE BLOOD Is the next addition in the “Raised by Wolves” series. This illustration finds Sebastian St. Cloud fifteen years after the ship True North was lost at sea. And this would be his first human contact. Sebastian and Coal, the alpha wolf, find his sister wolf slain. Coal growls deep within himself, and Sebastian answers him with his own guttural growl as they both turn slowly to see who hides in the shadows behind them. The story I had in my head was about Dr. Zachariah St. Cloud, an archeologist who set sail on a ship called True North, seeking the legendary Lost City of Shadows. With his family, Lily, Sebastian, and his wife Maria, and a crew of fifty in tow, headed into uncharted waters unknown. However, on one dreadful dark stormy night True North would be swallowed by a White Squall and never heard from again, all souls aboard assumed dead. Or were they… Now the story splits with Lily being found by the gorillas (Beauty Among The Beasts) and her brother Sebastian being found by wolves (Raised by Wolves series). 18x24 Charcoal and graphite powder and Panpastels. © 2022 † Jeff Echevarria https://linktr.ee/jeffech - - #fantasyart #fantastic #fantasy #storytime #wolf #blackandwhite #charcoaldrawing #charcoal #characterdesign #illustration #illustrator #freelance #snow #darkart #raisedbywolves (at Echevarria Art & Design Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch2HvJvMxzW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

THE LITTLE MATCH GIRL "And the matches burned with such a glow that it became brighter than daylight. Grandmother had never been so grand and beautiful. She took the little girl in her arms, and both of them flew in brightness and joy above the earth, very, very high, and up there was neither cold, nor hunger, nor fear-they were with God." ~ Hans Christian Andersen By Jeff Echevarria Charcoal and Pan Pastels 18x24 on paper Hans Christian Andersen Group Show @havengallery at Haven Gallery.

PRIVATE COMMISSION Thank you, Carrie Elizabeth Mathews It was quite a challenge; I'm glad I pushed myself outside my box. The addition of color was quite the battle beside the usual suspects, Charcoal and Graphite powder. There were the color pan pastels, acetone, gouache, and watercolor. Even though I was delighted with the outcome, it's not something I think I will be doing regularly. It took its toll on my old broken body, lol. © † 2022 Jeff Echevarria https://linktr.ee/jeffech (at Echevarria Art & Design Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfbp3x0uNau/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

PHANUEL AND THE CALADRIUS When the prophet Enoch hears the voices of four archangels standing in the presence of God, he identifies the first three as Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel. He then says: “And the fourth, who is in charge of repentance, and hope of those who will inherit eternal life, is Phanuel.” “And the fourth voice I heard driving away the Satans and not allowing them to come in front of the Lord of Spirits to accuse those who dwell on the earth.” . Phanuel the Arc summons the Caladrius. Because of the bird’s godlike abilities, the Caladrius was identified as a Christ figure in the medieval bestiary. Looking away from the dying and toward those he will heal represented Christ looking toward and saving the Gentiles; consuming the sick’s illness and satans represented Christ’s salvation of humanity; and the caladrius’s flight to the sun where the satans and disease are incinerated. .
