“The Fox and the Crow”
Inspired by the song “The Fox, the Crow, and the Cookie” by Mewithoutyou, which was inspired by the old folk tale.
While the tale is great, something about the imagery of the song really brought it to life to me. I tried to incorporate as much of the dessert imagery in as well as the whimsical feeling.
This was also a personal experiment. I tend to get too “character” focused in my art and not… “art” focused. Here I wanted to focus on the overall feeling of the picture, notjustthe characters. I wanted movement, a coordinated color scheme, and interesting lines.

Sharpie and brush pen, 15 minute doodle while chilling on my school’s colonnade. The weather was so friendly!
“And Little Red Seeks Revenge”
Okay, I’ll admit it–I’m a Little Red Riding Hood junkie. The tale and its image just captivate me. The symbolic nature behind it just make me giddy! -derpderpderp-
I use its symbolism a lot in my writing too. Wolves can be human–and they devour innocence as their sustenance. They twist those they taint until the creatures they feed on become wolves themselves.
I’m so fed up with scanners. Blech. D:

“It could be what you call a magical place, which it is”
My brother is doing a school project where they choose a stuffed animal to donate to a children’s hospital and write and illustrate a story to go along with it. He asked me to illustrate for me and boy did I jump on that!
My mom complains that my brother is boring, that he doesn’t have any creativity, that all he does is play video games and feed off the imagination of others. But she doesn’t know him, he’s brilliant. Lazy, but with a stunning imagination. He’s just afraid to show it, which is reasonable. Our mom is a harsh critic and is quick to call things weird or only tell us how to make it better. While that is important, children also need encouragement. Her personality has dogged me for quite a while…
But, gosh! When my brother sent me the first chapter, I was amazed and thrilled. I’m debating whether or not to put it up here, but it’s one of the most darling things I’ve read in a while. I can’t wait for the rest!
