The middle one is just so simple and bruthal, I feel sorry for the poor, silly little girl XD
The Peter one and Suckathumb are really awesome, though, that tailor kicks ass. I'd ran the hell away from me if he'd walk me up like that to chekc otu if the dress fits me XD
You need to do more works in colorpencils :}

The first illustration is from Slovenly Peter/Der Struwwelpeter, the title story of the book. I have each picture posted by itself with its story in my gallery.
And thank you! I thought he looked nicely badass, too XD

Okay. You're really freaking me out because my German professor brought in his ORIGINAL edition of that book TODAY to show us the horrors of German fairy tales where children die. LMFAO. What an eerie coincidence. When I saw the tailor with the blood, I was like, "NO EFFING WAY...."
I am so weirded out right now, but gorgeous illustrations!!
