Description
A continuation of The Devil's Candy zigwolf.deviantart.com/gallery…Greta has grown a lot from the little girl she used to be , the events of TDC radically changed her and made her into a colder, more cynical person.
After being recruited into the Hunters by Captain Neimo, Greta and Charlie grew into exceptional soldiers. Charlie became a computer analyst and beginner alchemist, while Greta became a true hunter. Greta's candy cane arm nubs were cut down and she was given two silver charms in the form of metallic hands, they bonded to Greta and grew into her new hands and forearms, while also forming ancient tattoos to seal the bond. She's the Hunters' toughest hand to hand combatant and she'll literally crush you with silver hands. Though Charlie tries to reach out to Greta to let her more kinder side out, her personal demons have made her unwilling to let herself care deeply about anything, for fear of losing it, like she lost her brother, Han.
Inspiration for Greta comes from Hansel and Gretel, The Girl with the Silver Hands, and some inspiration for her silver hands comes from The Man with The Iron Fists.

This line speaks for itself and it fits Greta so well.
Ra’s Al Ghul: But I know the rage that drives you. That impossible anger strangling the grief, until the the memory of your love ones is just… poison in your veins. And one day, you catch yourself wishing the person you loved had never existed, so you would be spared the pain.

Most of them are, but there are one or two would are heroic.

I hope so. Because not ALL monsters are evil.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, but that's what the vast majority of hunters believe and vice versa with the monsters who believe that all humans are evil.

"Captain Neimo?" As in Captain Nemo from 20 Thousand Leagues Under The Sea?

Nice! So what happened to Hansel?
what other hunters have you got in mind next? In Darkstalkers, they got Donovan Baine, Hsien-Ko and B.B. Hood (Baby Bonnie Hood) - who’s based on Red Riding Hood.

He got turned into a candy monster
The only ones I can think of is Robin Hood/Robin Hoodsley and Cinderella/Ella Cinders.

How about Ichabod Crane? Think of the Sleepy Hollow show. But in your own version from that. He should come back to get his revenge on Bron Bones for taking Katrina from him after pranking him into leaving town. Now HE'S the real Headless Horseman.... or at least one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
Jack & the Beanstalk? Peter & the Wolf?

Yeah, I did that whole "Ichabod is the Horseman" angle with my version. This was supposed to be his look The Headless Horseman but I accidentally used it for my Scooby Doo redesign take on the Headless Horseman. He's not the Horseman of Death, I have the Four Horseman saved for something else later on.
Jack is different in my story. He is now a she and she's the daughter of Red Hoodsley, her name in this version is Jaqueline Hoodsley and her Hunter codename is "Asesino Gigante" She wields a giant axe like her mother and killed her first giant at 8 years old.
Nothing for Peter and Wolf.

So then how to bring out Ichabod Crane into this? And Paul Bunyan? Yankee Doodle? Momotaro? Kintaro? Cu Chulainn and the Hound of Ulster?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh wait, my bad. Some ideas got crossed and Ichabod isn't the Horseman, but I think that Ichabod was one of the Horseman's victims and his head was taken.
Paul Bunyan could be the giant that Jaqueline kills. I have no idea what to do with Yankee Doodle or Momotaro, Not sure I want to use Kintaro. Cu Chulainn could be used, I think I'll make him a ghost warrior who guards one of the Seals of the Apocalypse, behind it is the colossal wolf, Fenrir. When the Apocalypse (Ragnarok) begins Fenrir will be released to consume the sun, so Cu Chulainn must guard him. It's almost a reversal, Cu Chulainn killed a wolf that was blocking his way and now ironically he must guard a wolf being in his afterlife.

So.... any chance to bring out Ichabod Crane somehow? I feel sorry for him for what Brom Bones did to him. Since Brom married Katrina, maybe Ichabod can get his revenge on him and his descendants. But any girl who reminds him of Katrina, he'll have her as his bride/wife.
For Peter & the Wolf, I'm thinking about Peter being a Hunter. And the Wolf can be one of Silver's enemies as he and Peter team up.
What about... Prince & the Pauper?
The Nutcracker Ballet?

Well Ichabod is dead, soooo........that probably won't happen.
I probably won't go with Peter and the Wolf because it doesn't sound like a good enough story to include here.
Not sure how to include Prince and the Pauper
I could easily include the Nutcracker for a Christmas themed adventure for the Monstrosities.

Yup, I want to start connecting all of these stories (like Monstrosities, The Devil's Candy, Hybrids, and Havoc Days) and pictures like this are perfect for that.

You're making your own universe!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah! Monstrosities, Hybrids, Gamer, and Havoc Days all together in one universe.

Yes!!!! Great, babe you are beautiful! Man, Zig you out did yourself with our expectations. Love the desings on her arms, the cool looking shirt and jacket, military styled hair cut, and most of all her metal hands.
Question if her hands are attached to chaines, does that mean she can use them like kratos chain blades?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! Believe it or not, all those pieces of clothing were random stuff thrown together with changes made to make it fit together.
Well, since there are fists attached to the chains instead of blades, it needs to operate differently than Kratos' Blades of Chaos. I would compare it to how fighters punch in the Nintendo game, ARMS.

Thrown together, like images from the internet?
yeah i guess they'd be a mix of the blades of chaos (with all the spin attacks and such, not so much the cutting) and these ARMS.

More like random articles of clothing put together instead of a solid look to start with, then I altered it up so those clothes fit together.
Do you watch the Overwatch shorts ? Because the most recent one (Honor and Glory) has a character who uses two hammers to take down an army of robots and that's how I imagine Greta's spin attack with her silver chain fists to almost look like

This design is really cool and I like that the story has kind of continued!

Thanks, it was always my plan to connect Monstrosities and The Devil's Candy and this is the first step towards that.

Those arms are SO AWESOME. It's sad that she's closed her heart to others, though.
I would love to see how Charlie has grown since those days!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks. Yeah, she needs a hug.
I should have him shown next time or the time after that when I get back to drawing Monstrosities.

Wow, she looks awesome. She kind of reminds me of the movie the man with the Iron hands. At least I think that was the name. Hope to see Charlie reach out to her and see them interact with one another.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks. I did get inspiration from the Man with the Iron Hands, it's in the description. I think Charlie will be the only one able to reach Greta and I hope to get them drawn together one day.
