Folktale Week Illustrations - add yours :D

[SundayGirl76]

Just thought I'd start a thread because I can't find one. My first two for the Home and Secret are Native American origin. I've used tales for all of the prompts that reflect my own heritage and that, rather than one story, is what ties all of mine together.

Home

Secret

I'd love to see yours!

@SundayGirl76 I learned about this while I was doing Inktober. I will plan to join in next year. Too much on my plate but glad you started a thread and I enjoy your work.

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@SundayGirl76 amazing! I won’t be doing folktale tho. It’s just too much to do within a day given my style.

[lenwen]

@SundayGirl76 I really love your works!
I was planning to do it until my CTS relapsed and still have some works to do
I only managed to do the cover

I actually planned to make my own simple story but after all, I can't manage it:disappointed_but_relieved_face:
Maybe one illustration per day is really not possible for my style though.

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@lenwen i feel ya. I was planning to illustrate a philippine urban myth but i just can’t finish an illustration in a day too with my style. Lol oh well... it would be nice if this spanned for a month and we only had to make 7 illustrations. Now, that’s doable.

[lenwen]

@Nyrryl-Cadiz that sounds great
oh, actually what you can join is probably #portfolioclub did you know about that?
it only requires one illustration per month and posted at the end of the month

@SundayGirl76 @lenwen @Nyrryl-Cadiz @Heather-Boyd Hey guys, I jumped into this challenge last minute. My theme is based around little creatures, fairies, elves etc.

day 1: Home. I chose to illustrate a story from the city i was born in, Gent. 'Stroppendragers' was a mocking name given to people who refused to pay the high taxes that funded the ongoing war with France. Some were executed immediately by beheading but most of them had to undergo a humiliating walk through the city in their nightgowns and a noose around their necks which were a symbol of their crimes and the punishment they lead to.

First time doing #folktaleweek! "Home" I'm using Folktale week to loosen up on my gestures and to leave out the pen/black outlines I tend to do. Following the prompts with no real story based upon them, more of just thinking in a what I think is a folktale style. -Todd

And for today's prompt 'Secret' i have chosen the story of 'Donkeyskin' A story similar to cinderella but in this case the princess must go into hiding and uses a donkeyskin to hide her true identity. Until ofcourse she finds her prince charming.

Oh man, I love all of these. Why are all the best art challenges loaded in the end of the year when all this other stuff is going on?

I will have to participate in this one next year; as someone who hosts a comedy Folklore podcast it's deeply frustrating not to have the time to give this my all this year.

I didn’t join last year and probably won’t have time to do much this year, but I did whip out a little cover. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone’s work

[JennyJones]

I’m totally following you all this week. I can’t do it myself THIS week but I’m inspired to try my own soon. I’m loving all of your stuff!

[SundayGirl76]

Wowser! You're all amazing - I love seeing your work. Here's mine for day 3 - Path

[SundayGirl76]

@Heather-Boyd Thank you. This is my favourite art challenge of the year. I discovered it last year so knew it was coming up. I didn't have time for Inktober, but I love seeing everyone's work.

[SundayGirl76]

@Nyrryl-Cadiz Thanks The Illostories group makes everything easier - it's a FB group where everyone does their prep together from about 6 weeks before. I only found out about it a few weeks ago, but it's a really active community.

@SundayGirl76 wow really!? That’s so interesting! I’m going to check that out.
