Fairy tales have some great opposites, especially Hansel and Gretel. (Probably my favorite story.) This is actually the second version of this piece. I got some help with the composition from Simon and I think it's turned out much better. Also, I'm heading to Siggraph next week in Boston! Hooray! I'm excited to have a mini vacation and meet up with some old freinds. Any other artists heading out there?
great illo! I love the lighting and how it leads the eye through the piece.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't a Gingerbread house have a major bug problem? Though I suppose the hag would have had some good extermination spells. Cool pic.

ReplyDeletevery good. Nice depth and contrast in light. Inviting and scary at the same time.
ReplyDeletewow- very well done. It reminds me a little of the illustrations by Steve Johnson in the frog prince continued
ReplyDeletegreat moodsetter. i love that you made candy canes sinister!
ReplyDeleteNice and creepy touch with the axe in the tree stump right by the begining of the trail. Sorta like an early warning sign for alert people...
