Tribute To Lost Potential (D)

The other  night we finally gave BatB '17 a second chance and I still was barely whelmed. Emma Watson just looks so bored the whole time. Well, she alternates between smug and bored. Alas for lost potential.  Anyway, I remembered I started a sketch of Actual Belle in New Belle's wedding dress some time ago so it was a good time to finish it up, add a couple more and throw color at them. You can tell by the sizes here my preference order.

Actual Belle looks better in this costumes than Movie Belle (sorry, Hermione)

And then while I was at it, this has been on my honey-draw list for a long time now, based on a favorite misheard song lyric. Do you get it?

Waiting by a something something.

Disney Un-Disneyed In Color V (D)

I missed last week, but it's all good.  Here's the next trio in the Disney Un-Disneyed In Color series.  I always get excited when I reach this point. (Sketch versions here.)

Poor little waif.  At least he doesn't look much like a Hobbit anymore.

I actually have some design issues in hindsight but I decided to leave them be.

All the roses!

Hasta la vista.

Coloring Contest Results!!!

Today I announced the results of my first-ever coloring contest.  You can read all about it (and find out where to find these artists) on Instagram here.

It was really fun to see my drawing come alive in so many unique and creative ways, and it was reeeeaaally difficult to narrow it down to just a few winners.  Maybe I'll do another one of these one day.

Transformed Lineart -- and COLORING CONTEST announcement!!! (D)

I liked the lineart so much, here it is.

Speaking of which, I am hosting a fun coloring contest!!!  Check out this post on my Instagram account for details and more information.

But you seriously cannot beat the original.

A Beauty and a Beast (D)

 Please, please be good, movie.

Sleeping Beast (D)

A few years ago I did a sketch that J thought would make a funny little animation. Well, today I finally made her vision a reality by doing my first personal animation in quite a long time (and our first animation post in even longer). It was fun, even if it's pretty simple. Secondary action study FTW!

Here's the original sketch for fun and reference:

Sunday Sketches -- Disney Un-Disneyed V (D)

Here's another cycle of Sunday Sketches inspired by the source material for Disney's animated movies!  This is the start of some of my favorites in the whole series.  It's pretty difficult to create a new design for the Beast, since Disney seems to have perfected it, and it's hard for me to look at Oliver and not see a Hobbit, but he has the look anyway.

Oliver Twist (review here)

The Little Mermaid (review here)

Beauty and the Beast (reviews here and here)

More on the way shortly! I really meant to post these over Thanksgiving break, so maybe I'll post another one sooner than I had planned.
