I sort of went the fairy-tale route on this one. The Story of the Six Swans.....you can read the Grimm brothers version of this..... BUT! if you're willing to pick up a novel, theres a wicked re-telling of the classic fairytale by Juliet Marillier. It is Book 1 of The Seven Waters Trilogy called "Daughter of the Forest"
Anyways! the thing that always catches me with this tale is the sixth brother in the end. The nettle shirt incomplete he has to live the rest of his life with one Swan wing instead of his arm. Forever in a sort of limbo between human and animal worlds... He even misses his mate....cause swans mate forlife you know T_T Yeah...so these are supposed to be him
This blog is turning into a Jill/Krystin fest. Not that there's anything wrong with it. Any suggestions for August?
ReplyDeleteAlso- I'm loving these inky drawings! =D Markers or pens?
Also- that tale is quite sad. =(
Woo! it's a Krill Fest! or a Jistin fest? We are so awesome.
ReplyDeleteIt is a very sad ending! Happy for everyone else sure, but not him!
These were just pens, like, the faber castle drawing pens.
As for the month of august....hmmm,
self portraits?
Oh! Oh! haha, or do one another. an Ode to Krill/Jistin! ><
Sounds good to me! Krill/Jistin month!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! You guys are awesome. I still read this all the time but I haven't participated in drawing here for ages! Can't wait to see those portraits! Maybe in addition to each other you could draw a freaky hybrid version of you both?
