Artist's Comments
If you've been following my work, then you'll know that besides having a thing for pirates, I'm also very influenced by fairy tales. And not just the Disney versions that the general public knows, but all of the older and varied versions as well. Beauty and the Beast happens to be a particular favorite, and I've read countless different versions. For a while now I've been wanting to try tackling illustrating my own version (to do my own book would be a dream come true). Some designs I've played around with can be seen in my main gallery of my scraps gallery here on DA.
This summer I had the chance to try and do at least one solid illustration. I didn't have a huge amount of free time due to a busy work schedule, but I managed to squeeze in bits and pieces here and there. After quite some time, this is what I came up with. I'm pretty happy with it. A colored version is currently in the works. This was drawn on an 11"x14" surface on watercolor paper using ink pens and ink washes. Full view is strongly recommended! The colored version of this can be viewed right here. From August of 2006. Prints are now available! |

Beautiful job...I especially love how you chose to do the background, and in black and white!

This is a lovely illustration. The number of roses in it is astounding, and I always must applause people who have the patience that I do not. I fear it's my greatest shortcoming as an artisit. I like the Beast's design, and how he doesn't look too much like any one animal (which is what I love about Disney's Beast). Very nicely done! I look forward to the colored version.
