AN AWSOME CONCEPT!!! To take the incintive provided by another and run away with it like this... VERY CREATIVE!!! Lol, and very wow-worthy. But not only is the concept great, but the piece itself is soooo well executed. you have a real talent for bgs and landscapes, along with your kick-ass character painting. 
KEEP IT UP!!!

I love it, really reminds me of A Company Of Wolves. Love that film.

That is a new perspective. I love it. And the wolf is so sexy.

Werewolves are inherently sexy, what on earth made her think you couldn't do it? Maybe she was just goading you on cause she KNEW you would rock drawing a sexy werewolf.
I like your version, makes it so much more understandable that she was fooled by the wolf....poor little red. Though, if it were me, I'm thinking getting 'devoured' by this wolf wouldn't be a bad way to go.
I like how the background is sort of out of focus....gives the sense that his presence is taking her to a different time and place, or stopping time or something. Well done.

Woo! Although he doesn't look like a werewolf, I could guess he is cuz the story's popular

This is one of my favorites you've done. It really speaks to me because it represents one of my favorite stories. I especially like how it's not a traditional illustration of the story. I like how the wolf is a werewolf. It makes the story different in a way, yet it could still be the same.

whats cool is that in the original medieval french tradition the wolf is actually a werewolf
π: 0 β©: 1
Wow, that is interesting! Is there a place to read the original version (in English)?
π: 0 β©: 1

Wow.
Little Red Riding Hood: Prey to a Sexy Werewolf.
It begs to be written.

I've been on a Little Red kick for a while now, so this is even more fun for that ^-^ By chance have you ever looked into the (odd, 80's) The Company of Wolves? Sort of an interesting take, although naturally they pick really creepy men. Oh well.
The details are to die for. All the life you introduced into the trees, the grass, the light in the air; I love the palette, as to me it looks almost like a transition - warm gold light turning leaflike to a brown with the dull purples you introduce in the shadow. The position of the Wolf is ideal - he's in shadow and yet not, contrasted against the light in the trees but still masked by position. I want to see how things run in your version of the story...

Interesting new take on LRRH, I like how you drew her in the lights and him in the shadows.

The odd bit is...
I really didn't think I was being all that original... :/ Perhaps I read too many modernized fairy tales.
π: 0 β©: 1
perhaps, I've never seen it like that. I liked it.

I've got to admit that when I saw the thumb of this I was like "Red Hiding Hood? 
*Randomness is over*
Great background, everything is excellent in the girl and those little details (like the nest) 
Amazing work, anyways

You were right with "Red Riding Hood'
there's all kinds of wolves in the woods. And more than one way to devour an innocent maiden.

Critique time! (btw, where the heck does it say if an artist wants an advanced critique on their work?? Seems like that has just vanished on me unless Iβm just blind).
Okay, first off, the girl is awesome. Sheβs rendered very well, along with her outfit and drapery. I particularly am drawn to those puffy sleeves of hers. 
I think right now, the major thing that needs a little touching up is the background. The first thing that popped into my head when I looked at it (aside from loving the young lady) was that the two characters are too separated from their environment. Both of the figures have very crisp edges to them, but very few areas of the foreground contain similar edges. Even the closest tree to her is lacking the details it could have on it. At this distance, we should be able to see the texture of the bark more clearly, maybe even some tree fungus, knots, mosses, vines, etc. Any detail that would make it stand out a little clearer and help to place the characters in it.

Hmm...slight critque--the werewolf's left arm looks pretty muscular...I would imagine that his left pec would look a bit more muscular as well, but it could just be the way he is standing.

I enjoy the look on her face...you really do quality work. But duh, that's why I watch you.

hehe "I beg to differ!" *paints sexy werewolf*
he's so hairy, but under all that is the body and face of a god! You did good!

I really really adore this.
I LOVE him.
And it's the most wonderful interpretation on the tale.
LOVE LOVE!!

heh heh - I like your idea and how you did it!

Amazing work. It's an interesting interpretation of Little Red Riding Hood. Very interesting, indeed. You eye for detail must be commended, the little flowers, the light and shadow on the trees, and that vein on his bicep just to name a few.

Ooo, run Red!! Or, maybe not.

Coolness, I love the spin on the Little Red Riding Hood theme. Ahh...the better to eat you with my dear. The lighting sets the picture off. Great job.

his pants seem really unrefined compared to areas like her face and her shirt, but I love his expression! so....predatory!
π: 0 β©: 0
Awesome. Just completely awesome. Wolfy could maybe be a -little- bit hairier, just to make him more... wolfish, but other than that... awesome. n_~
