3 days late and $300 short. I didn’t actually start this until long after Friday, but what the heck. I’m trying to fit in more personal art, and Illustration Friday seems to be the way to do it. So here you go. First to guess the story illustrated gets brownie points. 
OMG! This is sooo cute! LOVE the eyes!!!
Hansel and Gretel
What a wonderful bunch of yummy colors in this! Love everything about it! I especially like the scary ravens/blackbirds eating Hansel and Gretel’s bread crumbs. Nicely done!
Thanks, Ellen and Becky!
Brownie points go to Drew!
Bonus points go to anyone who can guess how many layers are in the Photoshop file, lol.
love their eyes, they look so frightened
Love it!
great mood!. I think the frame is absolutly terrific!
You’ve got a great depth in the background and cute characters.
Love those clouds arround too.
Very nice work!
Oh, the background is scrumptious … your layers have done their job well.
I love their eyes, and their expressions. Great job.
I really like how you’ve illustrated this story in a more contemporary manner. i also like the treatment of the forest in the layers of dark blue and lavendar trees. There is defintely the feeling of being engufled by the forest, and the birds eating the crumbs look a bit threatening! Well done:>
Yummy artwork! It is so delicious I want to take a bite of it! I’m detecting a little bit o’ the aliens in the characters, and that makes me smile from ear to shining ear!
Great job. I expecially like the depth of the trees in the background and the expression on their faces. nice.
Great perspective and expressions. I think I just had a childhood flashback. Well done.
the color is so beautiful!
this is so wonderful! great illo!
