Description
...and sharpest tongue.I saw The Company Of Wolves last night. It's sort of a darker version of Labyrinth, full of some pretty heavy symbolism.
It inspired me to draw this, and I don't know who looks scarier: The Wolf or Little Red.

It's my favorite movie of all time
And I find the artwork very much in the mood of the original. Very well done. I love it

Oh yes, the symbolism blows me away every time I watch it! When I had watched it for the first several times I was young and didn;t understand much of it, yet it mesmerized me. Later I've read psychological analisys of the symbols and my eyes opened anew

Wow!
Yes the symbolism is amazing. Have you read the short story it's based on? It's part of a collection of stories called The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter. The whole book is amazing.

Yes, I think I remember the story. I've read the anthology some years ago. The story concentrated upon the encounter of Girl(Rosaleen) with the Werewolf, right? There were also other stories: Wolf-Alice and othe 'adaptations' of fairy tales. But I prefer the movie (although I normaly prefer books). It is just more complex, and well, I've just seen it first

I love this so much.
I always thought the movie had both similarities to Labyrinth and Interview With a Vampire.
Very well done

Thank you!
Yes, they are quite similar. All the strange, sexy men with dangerous undertones

"As you're pretty, so be wise.
Wolves may lurk in every guise.
As then and now, 'tis simple truth:
sweetest tongue holds sharpest tooth."
Neil Jordan's film is an underrated horror classic. I really like your composition. The color tones are very medieval, it seems, faded, not too bold. I love your miseβenβscΓ¨ne: they are both of equal height, their eyes nearly match up, very much like the story itself: who is the wolf? Where is the threat? After all, the whole film takes place within a young girl's mind.
Excellent. Fine work.

Thank you!
I stained the paper with coffee to give it that "Old-world fairytale" feel.
The reason I liked the film so much is it portrays coming of age exactly as it is: bittersweet. Yes, there is a loss of innocence, but it's the price we pay for gaining the rich experiences adulthood has to offer.
I enjoyed your comment-- I glad you liked it!

Coffee, huh? Brilliant. Very effective.
I agree with you about the film.

Loved it! Red Riding Hood is really scary...looks like she's gonna help the wolf to eat someone

Haha...thanks! Yeah, she looks like she would be at home in an Anne Rice novel. I drew it late at night...what can I say?

Yeees, she's a creature of the night! Scary

Darker version of Labyrinth eh??? With Angela Lansbury eh??? Methinks I must check this out....

Indeed you should! It's very very twisted and 80s-tastic!

Lovely use of colours in this.
I like this one very much.
I've seen Company of Wolves ages ago (sometime in the 80s^^), but I remember at least parts of it. I can see how it would inspire you to do a "dark" version of her
