I got this new image done today. It’s inspired by fable, The Lion and the Mouse.

I’ve never done a fable before. And I think I really like them. There’s something simple, pure, and spiritual about them that feels a bit forced in fairytales and folktales. They’re clearly much more allegorical. And I think there’s a really strong place for that.

Maybe I’m just getting older? And tire of the antics of so many misguided humans in real life that I long for stories that aren’t ultimately about mistakes made by stupid people?

Maybe.

Regardless, I thought I’d share! Again, it’s in an Art Nouveau-inspired illustrative style. All by me in Procreate—no generative BS. This will be a greeting card soon.

And here’s the speedpaint: https://makertube.net/w/ryJyzsGQpt4yPq33h8t98A
