I made this for a while now but never have a chance to upload it, I'm not even sure why I did this, probably just out of bored or something, so, have you ever heard about the tale of Tom Thumb? The story of a tiny guy named Tom Thumb, there's a lot of stuff happened in the tale and I took one event and trying to draw it out, and here, this is the pic.
There's a lot of versions of this tale but one of the event in some versions is that Tom, heard two bandits planning about robbing from rich people (Some versions even said they trying to rob his parents) and he decided to offer them a help, saying he's small, he should able to get pass the door, window or something like that and get a gold for them, in reality, he just pretended to help them just so he don't have to walk by himself since the bandits will take him to the village this way... But when you think about it, kinda seems like a bold move, isn't he? I mean, he just showed up to two bandits, clearly a stranger guys to him, what if they refused? What if they decided to do a bad thing for Tom instead? He'll have no way to escape or resist, not to mention normally in a lot of versions, this happened after he escaped from a man who bought him (Or steal) just so he can use Tom in a show or something, what if these two bandits decided to do the same thing? Sounds bad, right?
Luckily that stuff didn't happen in the tale and the bandits are kinda idiot so the tale went well... But I just wonder what could happen if the bandits are way more smarter than normal? Haha, just a silly idea from me, maybe I wanted this kind of tale to go a bit bad end path or something? LOL!!! But happy end is okay, I guess...
So, this is the pic showing that event where Tom Thumb showed himself to the bandits, telling that he'll help them and they seems to very into the idea, the little guy offered to help them, they'll just have to accept, right?
