Tommelise: This tiny
little girl was once the naïve, adventuresome Thumbelina. But after all she's
been through, her heart has been darkened, and she's out for revenge on all the
animals and bugs that tried to control her life. You thought her marriage to
the flower prince was the end? It's only the beginning…
Inspiration:
Last summer I watched a lot of YouTuber critics' reviews for Don Bluth's Thumbelina (which I've never seen before).
Frustrated by how Thumbelina never seemed to help herself and just glided from
one creepy bug/animal to another, I started coming up with an idea for a story
in which she finally stands up for herself and gets some much needed revenge
(Fun note: "Tommelise" is actually the Danish translation of her
name). You'll see bits and pieces of the story and cast unfold in the Friday
posts and Wildcard Wednesdays. I'm still unsure whether I want to develop this
into a comic book series or an animated series.
Tools: Pencil
(outlining), Sharpie and Prismacolor illustrator pens and markers, and
Faber-Castell watercolor pencils and markers.
