Description

So as you all probably noticed, but Erstwhile, the collaborative Fairy Tale Webcomic I've been involved with just completed a kickstarter to print a book of our first few stories. If you're not familiar, please go check it out! It's a collaborative effort adapting less popular fairytales from the Brothers Grimm ^^

This stand-alone illustration, based on the Six Swans fairytale, was created as an incentive for our kickstarter pledge drive.

I love this fairytale. I'm a little obsessed with the image of the sister weaving stinging nettles into cloth and sewing that cloth into shirts, it's that sort of thing that makes me itch to draw fairytales.

I've been spending a lot of time gazing at woodcuts lately, can you tell? ;)

How beautiful! And Six Swans is right up there with Donkeyskin for my favorites, you just have a knack for drawing the best tales.
