After we got some snow last week, I watched The Nutcracker Prince with my baby. She loved it, which made me smile since it's my favorite version of The Nutcracker (especially since it's very faithful to the original book.)

So here's some Hans/Clara art. Enjoy!

Characters: Nutcracker Prince / Drosselmeyer’s Apprentice and Clara Stahlbaum

Media: The Nutcracker ballet

Setting: 1800s, Germany / Land of Sweets

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Clara Stahlbaum is a young girl whose family gives a grand Christmas Eve party attended by her godfather Drosselmeyer, who gifts Clara with a nutcracker doll and leaves as mysteriously as he arrived.

The Nutcracker Prince, appearing as a wooden doll but secretly the prince of a magical land, comes to life that night, when Clara falls asleep in the empty hall and is attacked by an army of mice led by the Mouse King.

Clara is shocked to awaken and see her Nutcracker (who bears an amazing resemblance to Drosselmeyer’s handsome apprentice) fighting a battle in her own home... as well as the fact that she is now the size of a doll herself. Pursued by the wicked Mouse King, Clara joins the battle and helps the Nutcracker fight the Mouse King, leading to the mice’s defeat and Clara’s reunion with the Nutcracker. He then takes her on a magical journey to his own realm, through a forest of snowflakes and into the wondrous Land of Sweets to see his kingdom and become its princess.

For Rivetra weekend prompt :Legend .

I chose The Nutcracker because it's from Germany (tbh I never thought the story is from Germany). Levi as the Nutcracker and Petra as Clara. I really enjoyed drawing them as the main characters.
