Water Stops The Iron Wolfby =MidnightTea7

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Illustrations / Storybook

_{There are three big (double-page) illustrations finished for my thesis presentation and I thought it won't be bad to upload them here

This one is from the story titled "The Iron Wolf", which is a short Polish fairy tale about good lord, who stumbled upon a witch during one of his hunting trips in the woods.
She was a mean witch, who destroyed happines once she learned about it, so she's decided to kidnap his long-awaited children - fair twins Jutrzenka and Ranek (eeer... Aurora and Dawn).
But not by herself - she's sent her servant, the invincible Iron Wolf, who succeeded in capturing children from a well-guarded castle.
A kind stag tried to help the children, but it was devoured - after that the wild horse appeared and managed to save the Jutrzenka and Ranek thanks to gifts it gave to them - a comb which turned to high mountain, a hair-brush which changed to thick forest and a scarf, which turned to lake and finally stopped the Wolf...

I'll have you know, I'm now inspired to read Polish fairy tales. I've read the Grimm works, but I don't think these were covered by them?

My friend actually gave her seminar presentation on fairy tales, too - but she was focusing on the silent heroine figure, like in the Twelve Brothers. What was the focus of your thesis?

Transformative chase sequences ftw. I just love how you did the waves and the gradient between each wave!}
