Description ...lies the salvation.

Work inspired by one of the less known Grimms' fairy tales...kudos to the first person who knows which one I had in mind.

Nice work, I love that texture you've created. Overall feeling is actually very fairytale-ish, beautiful and mysteriously dark. I have to admit, I'm familiar only with the more known Grimms' tales can't figure out which one you had in mind.

Good work, anyway. I also love her vivid expression.

Thank you so much. I'm absolutely glad you like this one.
The story I've had in mind is called "The Old Woman in the Wood"...not really one of the popular ones, I admit.

This digital paint really has that rather fairy-tale/mystical/fantasy vibe to it! That warm, saturated, but rather dark colour palette featured in this works wonders to give it that effect as well.


By the way, is the story that inspired this "The Old Woman in the Wood"?

Madalinka In reply to Karisean [2013-08-11 20:45:01 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much for your words! I'm happy you like it.

Yes, it indeed is "The Old Woman in the Wood".  I'm pleasantly surprised that somebody has guessed it right...you're really awesome.
