Illustration Friday: Instinct



Here is my submission to this week's Illustration Friday topic: Instinct. Was it greed and malice that made the wolf chase Little Red Riding Hood, or was it simply instinct?

  6. That's fantastic. The bare toes on Red make her seem even more vulnerable. And the cardinals add some supernatural quality to the painting...almost like the piece is from some part of a nightmare. Very cool & creepy.

  8. Nice to see your interpretation of a story everyone knows, which is familiar and different at the same time.

    Good job!

    I like your big bad wolf a lot
