Well, the feedback from my loyal French art director was that the wolves in my first roughs weren't quite scary enough for small kids. They want a thrill...at least in France they do. Which is fun, so I'm working on scaring kids some more.
Here's wild Mrs Wolf admiring her new born. Our little hero looks like he's got what it takes, she believes, to a Big Bad Wolf one day, just like Grandpa.
And here - almost done but... is a colour version of the rough I showed in my previous post, where Dad Wolf is showing his son how to be a Big Bad hunter.
I'm still working on the look and feel of all this, 3 weeks before the final deadline. Back to work asap!

Lovely!
Lovely characters Bridget
Are these final images?
oooh! oooh! fab wolves! i wanna read the book!
Thanks folks! They aren't quite finished John - so any suggestions welcome. And they are for a picture-book length Bayard magazine. It has a bigger circulation than most books if not the longevity.
De belles illustrations pour faire frisonner les enfants !
I just adore your wolves and Mum DOES have a glint of 'BAD WOLF'. It's in the mouth, I think. Perfect.
Thanks everyone. I've just sent off the final, final pics - so if you want to play Spot the Difference, look at my next post. You'll see Sue that I felt I had to give mum Wolf a bit of a chin lift under that mouth!
