Hello and good luck to everyone in the challenge! I had a few ideas going in my head but I guess this one was calling to me the most. I'll tackle this piece in 3D with a stylized approach to the models and some painterly textures to help retain an illustrative quality.

Here is the backstory thus far and my concept!

In a post-apocalyptic world, Red Riding Hood battles the Werewolves which now plague the land. Raised by her Grandmother in this harsh new world, she fights to make the world a safer place ... and to deliver supplies to her Grandmother.

Here are some character designs I was playing around with.

First off, in my new Werewolf designs, I tried to make them look more like evil muppets or plush toys. I figured that this would suit the cartoony style I'm aiming for a little better. I think the results could be pretty funny ... hopefully in a good way

As for Red, in these new sketches I'm trying out a couple of different body proportions and costume ideas.

I'm trying some different approaches to my image layout. The reason being that my original concept has the majority of the space used up by a big rock and the characters seem to get lost a little.

This first new image depicts the aftermath of a battle between Red and some Werewolves, we see the characters bigger and in the foreground. The second one is more focused on the Red Riding Hood character and shows the Werewolves more as a looming threat in the background.






Also included in this update is my progress on the 3D model for Red Riding Hood. I've got the body base going and extruded some clothing. Lots of refinements to come!

@ jnumber9 : Thanks! I'm glad you like it so far.


Below is the latest on my Red Riding Hood model. I've been working on the clothes mostly. They're inspired from my earlier sketches but I changed a few bits around. The hood and cape still need more work but it's coming along.

Onward ...

wow cute, almost same with my red riding hood but it's cartoony version.
