Red Library 📚🐺🧺 - Process (Patreon)

Little Red Riding Hood finds adventure that lies between the pages of each book in a mysterious library 📚🐺

Hello Patrons! 🤎

I went back to one of my older concepts and worked on this concept a bit more! I’ve been trying to push my lighting and colours and wanted to tackle using a more muted palette. 🤎

I also played around with the idea of combining Dark Academia with Woodland fantasy. 📜✒️ I think I went a little overboard by adding the small details that relate to woodland plants and fungi. 🪵🍄 I didn’t realize how much I miss doing some linework so I mindlessly ended up adding more and more details. 😅

I spent a lot of time trying to refine the architecture so I took a lot of inspiration from Art Nouveau and Classical design. A lot of my inspiration for this piece is also derived from JC Leyendecker's infamous style which explains the sharp edges and yellow muted palette.

I know it’s a little different from my other pieces but lately, I’ve been having lots of fun trying new things! Let me know what you think! 😊
