:@nadyart It seems to fit to me when the wolf is willing to dress as the girl's grandmother to get to his victim. The narrative is all about a character that is willing to be elaborate about tricking his victim, so I can picture him testing his abilities by playing a bridge to see if she will walk blithely across. Plus this shows that he is way ahead of her. In the original version he looks like he is trying to catch up to her.
Changing the bridge into the wolf eliminates the repetition between the log and the wolf and increases the threat of the wolf. The main thing that changes for the narrative is that the wolf is much bigger and there is water underneath. But I think that actually helps the narrative. Anyway, lovely work, Nadya.
I love the original illustration too, but also think this is such a creative idea!

@BichonBistro Thank you for writing that! I don't think Nadya needs to change her drawing, but I think when we see what someone else sees in our drawings we can be aware of unintended effects - in this case this idea came from the similarity of the curved log and the wolf. So rather than try my suggestion, she can simply decide whether she wants to keep that similarity or not. It probably wasn't unintentional and I doubt people see it the way I do.
I do love the idea of a wolf covered in flowers though.
