Inktober artist reimagines ivory greed as dark queen fairy tale
Original: Inktober : tusk / defense Il était une fois une reine aussi belle que cruelle. Pour se parer d’ivoire, elle fit massacre
For Inktober's 'tusk' and 'defense' prompts, an artist shared an illustrated dark fairy tale of a beautiful but cruel queen who had every tusked beast in her kingdom slaughtered to adorn herself with ivory. When the ivory ran out, she turned to the teeth and bones of her own people, fed into her machine. The piece ties the prompt words to a fable about greed and exploitation.
Why now: Inktober's daily drawing prompts drive artists to share themed work each October.
