Little Red Riding Hood's been always my favourite Grimm tale, when we watched it in kindergarten I always went to the classroom excitedly, because I could never get bored of the plot. Last time I revisited this topic, I painted the little gal as Alice in Wonderland. That was my first oil painting from when I was 16. Now that I am 26 and have a little more understanding of story telling, and finding my illustrative voice, I wanted to give it a try once again. I will probably never get bored of this story ❤️ Might do a little project of illustrating stories I used to love when I was a child.

Day 21: Dagger
This illustration is inspired by folklore art and also I wanted to put myself into it so I made the dress based on Hungarian traditional wear.

You ever think about Hans Christian Anderson's Wild Swans but set in a fantasy historical c-drama where the Empress Dowager curses the 12 imperial princes?
Well apparently I did, so I made a little cover for that hypothetical situation and had a lot of fun with it!
