Sweet dreams

I wanted to write/illustrate a short story about Wolf's dream, just for practice but it turned out kind of crazy, so at first I hesitated to post it but eventually gave in :D
So, continue reading if you'd like a little dose of craziness on Tuesday afternoon...


sweet dreams
During his afternoon nap Wolf had a very pleasant dream that he was fishing on a lake.


wolf caught a cake
But instead of fish , Wolf caught a big cake. Even better, he thought.


floating on chocolate
Before he got to eat the cake, his boat turned into a big polka dot cup, lake turned into hot chocolate and the cake became alive. It started telling Wolf how it's bad to eat too much sweets and sugar. Wolf was confused.


wolf unicorn cupcakes
Luckily he was rescued from a preaching cake by a pink unicorn followed by a flock of flying cupcakes.


wolf jumps in
While riding a unicorn Wolf saw a huge cake and decided to dive right into it and eat his way out.


wolf awake
But before he got a chance to taste the gigantic cake, Wolf suddenly woke up slightly disappointed. And hungry.

This is fantastic! I especially like his sleeping position/expression in the first scene and how he's holding his stuffed animal :)

Oh, Asja! You amaze me with each post! I'm not an illustrator and my opinion is not professionsal, but I perceive your story like a person who works for/with children and I can assure you that your approch to the theme is fantastic! This is a story children would like for sure! You have a very nice sense of humour and a wonderful perception of colour! I like how Wolf's expression changes as situations change and the little doll he's sleeping with! Is it a sheep?:))

I feel sad for Wolf. I hate waking up after an awesome dream only to realize it was just a dream.

Poor Wolf. someone make him a cake! D:

I agree ... poor wolf. It reminds me, when I was a child I would dream I was on my way to Disneyland but every time I would arrive at the parking lot my alarm would go off.

I love his expression! Nice work.
