"... one more..."

------------------------------
Synopsis of the fairy tale:
A farmer wants, more than anything, to have a daughter, so prays to have one, "even if she's a fox." So his wife gets pregnant, and they have a baby girl. Six years pass. The farmer is worried, since he's suddenly started losing a cow every night, so he sets his sons out, one by one, to see who or what's causing the cow's death. They say "our sister is eating the cows!"; "Nonsense!" cries the farmer and sends them out of his home.

The sons travel across the country, and finally come across a traveling priest, who gives them three gourds: one white, one blue, and one red, and says that with these gourds. So they go home - and find that there's nobody living in the village except their sister. She persuades them to stay for the night - so they do.

One of the brothers wakes up in the middle of the night to the sounds of chewing, and sees his sister eating his brother's liver. "I only need one more to become human," she says, and proceeds to chase after him. He throws the white gourd, which turns into a cloud of mist, and she runs through it. He throws the blue gourd, which turns into a pool of water, and she swims through it. Then he throws the red gourd, which turns into flames, and burns her to death.

Ze King of Spades, for 's dark fairy tale project. So long as we've got some extra time to finish the pictures, I'mma just going to update this later with the edits. 8D But for now: just wanted to not-be-as-late-with-this-as-I-have-been-with-everything.

AH YES - blood splatters are a mix of splatter textures from cgtextures.com and painted by me. If you can figure out which one's which, great. X) Black tipped fox ears/tail is courtesy of a real life friend of mine who saw me working on the picture and offered up the suggestion (SO CUTE).

Crits, please?
