I’m thinking about doing Hansel and Gretel for this project since it was one of my favorite fairytales as a child. The classic story originated from medieval Germany, and most of its illustrations take place in a medieval fantasy setting. I wanted to try and give it a modern twist with horror-centered aspects, depicting a scene of how some things aren’t as good as they seem and exploring the subject of blindly trusting strangers. Since it originated from Germany, I wanted to go for a European-styled apartment home, especially those that make you feel a sense of coziness as if you were in grandma’s house, contrasting it with the dangers going on from behind.
I also made colored thumbnails for some of the other tales because I had difficulty deciding which story to use. Just wanted to share in case I change my mind later, but I’m most likely sticking to my current idea.
