Altera Magica.

In wintertime, during the first hours of a full moon, one could catch a glimpse of that magical place behind the birch trees. Many are tempted to cross the barrier between worlds, but only few will return.

Octoqueen.

Otherworld pictures by the sea, looking for publication.
Another great job by fairytale photographer Viona ielegems and Photoshop wizard Chester van Bommel.

Three graces.

Three fairies from the sunken lands of Altera will offer eternal love in exchange for an everlasting bond with their sisterhood.

costumes

Rogier van der Weyden.

Making historical costumes is one of our main specialties. Here's one example of a medieval gown ordered for a remake of Rogier van der Weyden's famous portret of Mary Magdalene studying.
