Description Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

~ Stopping by the Woods on A Snowy Evening by Robert Frost

[I typed that poem out of memory...! One of my faaaavorite poems EVER. I R such a nerd. >.<]

[link] <--- One of the most original web comics I've read so far... NO REST FOR THE WICKED! :3 And you should read it too! I just love how she gave these fairy tales a twist... and it just seems as though every detail is extremely well-researched.

And now, on to the art... Yep, I tried blending it a little to DA's background (EDIT: AND THAT FAILED!). Her head's a bit too big too... and my scanner is now officially possessed by Charles Manson. >.<

And, this will be my submission for Halloween! Happy Halloween, DA!

CRITIQUEPLZ~! KTHXBYE.

Yay for sqwuirrelly shading ^__^ Is the foot on the right a bit odd, or is it just me? >.>

Mimisaurus In reply to SongSprite [2007-11-02 14:12:46 +0000 UTC]

I think it's the shadow underneath. ._. I kinda messed up on it... xD So it looks like the foot is kinda... floating. >.<

SongSprite In reply to Mimisaurus [2007-11-02 18:37:14 +0000 UTC]

Yeah... that whole cut-out shadow is a bit wierd. Maybe you should remove it and just give her a shadow on the teal area? (BTW, if you want to match it to DA's colours, just take a screencapture and lift the colours from that... it's the "Print Scrn" button on Windows to copy the image or, or... I forget what the shortcut is on a Mac, but you could google and find it pretty quick. I think it's like... command+shift+4 and while holding those select the area you want to capture by click-n-dragging the mouse, and then while still holding everything down press ctrl. It's some real acrobatics for your fingers, but it can be done XD)

Hmmm... yep. :3 I did that... I just picked the wrong color on Photoshop. And I'm just too lazy to replace it.

The only thing I see is...
strangely, the first tree seems to have different shading compared to the others.
But the coloring on the dress is really good! :3

Mimisaurus In reply to KyT3m [2007-10-31 18:48:01 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it does. That's because I didn't think of testing the shading technique first before using it. Thanks a lot.

KyT3m In reply to Mimisaurus [2007-11-01 19:12:45 +0000 UTC]

Sometimes I forget to test colors... and then...
something is supposed to be black.. but instead it's like...
dark purple ><

Lol Looks like a male/crossdresser of little red riding hood (w/ an axe)
No offense intended. I really like the colors you chose and the setting.
Happy Halloween. ^_^

OMG. You're right. o.O That's weird... I think it's because of her eyebrows and the fact that you don't really see her boobs... And also her short hair.

(It's the first time I've ever seen a short-haired Little Red Riding Hood in the web comic as well. )
