Are we allowed to alter the lineart in any way? Or just strictly color? 

Digital Submission ------> I chose Cinderella as my Fable, I used the Disney animated version as reference.

Cinderella is a fairy tale written by Charles Perrault. This is a story about a poor girl's passivity in the form of abuse that ends with a reward by a fairy godmother and wins a prince's heart. It's a gentle reminder to remain kind to everyone.

Hansel the Black Forest Cake horse

In honor of Hansel and Gretel. I give you Hansel. He's a black forest cake flavour. A chocolate cake layered with cream and cherries from the Black Forest region of Germany. Weirdly, it's also the flavour of cake I really dislike because cherries are yuck. Lol

Okapi, just color but you can add background and items around it.

Heart of Stone

Heart of Stone is a cautionary tale of a man, Peter Marmot, who makes a series of self-serving wishes that only end in downfall. With nothing else to lose, Peter gives up his heart for one of stone in exchange for riches. Peter finally has the life he had wished for, but he is joyless and unsympathetic. Fortunately, Peter is able to trick his way to get his heart back to end the tale on a happy note where he lives a joyful but hardworking and modest life as a charcoal burner.

Little Red Riding Hood- The Black Forest

Little Red Riding Hood is a tale about a girl who is stalked by a wolf on the way to visit her Grandma. The wolf convinces her to stop and pick flowers on the way, giving it time to travel to the Grandma's cottage and eat her. The wolf later eats Little Red Riding Hood as well, after disguising itself as the girl's grandma. In the earliest versions, the tale ends here! It was only later on that a huntsman or woodcutter saves Red and Grandma from the wolf's stomach by cutting it open. 

The latest versions of the tale claim the hunter/woodcutter saved both Little Red Riding Hood and her grandma before the wolf eats either of them.

The Black Forest has inspired and is featured in many German Fairy Tales. My Grandma was born in Germany and lived near the black forest, before her family fled the war. When I was still in school and we were studying fairytales, I drew a picture for my grandma depicting Little Red Riding Hood in a forest landscape with wildflowers- this old drawing, though long lost now, served as inspiration for my coloured horse, reminiscent of the story and they forest that inspired it.

Another Cinderella-based colouring coming right up!

I based it on the remake of the 1950 (not the original) Disney animation of Cinderella. In the film, she is forced to live with her stepmother and two stepsisters after her father passed away. Growing up, she suffered and lived as a slave to the stepmother and stepsisters - who berated her and treater her unjustly. When invitations to the Prince's Ball spreads across the village, they all prepare for it.

On the day of the ball, Cinderella was prohibited to go and wept in a distant place - where the Fairy Godmother would make her "dreams come true". She gave her a carriage, horses, a footman, driver, and of course, a dress and glass slippers. She was able to dance with the Prince but had to return home by midnight swiftly. In such a panick, she left her glass slippers in the process.

After that, the Prince goes lengths to find Cinderella by checking whose women's feet can fit the shoes all around the village. Despite the stepmother's efforts to thwart Cinderella's plan to prove that she was the one who danced with the Prince, she succeeded and marries the Prince in the end.

In summary, justice is served for Cinderella - who gets a happy ending - and the stepmother's and stepsisters' goals are never reached.

I chose Cinderella because I loved her the most out of all the other Disney Princesses as a young child and would used to watch the film over and over again! 

(Sorry if it was long-winded!)

Hansel and Gretel: Gingerbread Horse

Hansel and Gretel are two children, brother and sister, abandoned in the forest by their father. The children make their way through the forest until they stumble upon a cottage made of cake, candy, and gingerbread. Starving they make their way to the cottage where they are then entrapped by a witch who has the intent to eat them, and begins fattening them up with sweets. At last they heroically escape in the end by shoving the witch into an oven and running free. RIP Candy Witch. 

I wanted to base this on the story I remembered in my own head from childhood. My design is meant to be the cottage just...in horse form. I've included the bread crumb trail the children leave behind and there is a special appearance from the witch as well. 

I chose this story because I've heard it a million and two times and felt I could be most creative with it!

Thanks for the prompt I enjoyed coloring this a lot! :)
