Illustrations for Newspaper

"Territory of RosNOU" - it was called.
When I study in University, I was a chief-editor of Our NewsPaper for Students, And created the illustrations for it.
Here are Concept Art of my characters and sketches for Posters of Newspaper
"NY-2008_YearOfRat_Poster (fin)" - is one of the most interesting idea of them all I think:
That was NY2008 - The Year of Rat - and i Decided to draw the King of Rats from the fairy-tail Nutcracker. It is very popular in our country.
And then I decided to make a GREAT BATTLE between 2 NewYear and X-mas simbols - Santa vs Russian Ded Moroz (or GrandDad Frost)
In fairy-tales Ded Moroz always Wears a blue Winter fur coat or "SHUBA", but when Coke-Cola came in Russia They begun to show Ded Moroz in Red Coat like Santa, and I Decided to fight for our Traditions. And to Open wide my friend's eyes)
