NOTE: THIS IS A LARGE DRAWING. It may take some time to load! Because the suitability of the entry for printing is one of the factors that determine whether or not my drawing might be selected, I have uploaded the full size image (5000 pixels x 10000 pixels). I would normally scale it down and put a note here saying I have a larger version, but for all I know they won't even read the description. :l Better safe than sorry I suppose?

Some Prokofiev to go with this.

This is supposed to be the wolf and the huntsman from Little Red-Ridinghood. I don't believe there are such things as good or evil, because it's all a matter of perspective, so for my entry I simply attempted to reverse it so that the wolf receives the pity and the huntsman the hate. Fun fact, in the Grimm's version, Little Red-Ridinghood is called Little Red-Cap and the wolf is killed by filling his stomach up with stones as he sleeps:
So he [the huntsman] went into the room, and when he came to the bed, he saw that the wolf was lying in it. Do I find you here, you old sinner, said he. I have long sought you. Then just as he was going to fire at him, it occurred to him that the wolf might have devoured the grandmother, and that she might still be saved, so he did not fire, but took a pair of scissors, and began to cut open the stomach of the sleeping wolf. When he had made two snips, he saw the little red-cap shining, and then he made two snips more, and the little girl sprang out, crying, ah, how frightened I have been. How dark it was inside the wolf. And after that the aged grandmother came out alive also, but scarcely able to breathe. Red-cap, however, quickly fetched great stones with which they filled the wolf's belly, and when he awoke, he wanted to run away, but the stones were so heavy that he collapsed at once, and fell dead.Source: www.cs.cmu.edu/~spok/grimmtmp/…
