SF&F Picture 8 out of 17 by Stephanie-Ann Hilgert.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Sleeping Beauty Loses Her Head

My first image done 100% Photoshop and I still think I've got a ways to go, but it is definitely a step in the right direction. I spent several weeks on this. In it's final form, I took an old schoolbook, glued EVERY SINGLE page together except where I left it open and stuck this as an image on one side, and an excerpt from the original Sleeping Beauty on the other. It's basically how I see things. When we're young, we are sheltered and fed fairy tales, then when we're forced to look outside on the real world, it's shockingly depressing. The whole fair prince thing especially. Me, bitter? No...

24 Dec 2002	Ashley Sharier	Loading... shakes her head Nope! not bitter at all! I like the idea behind this. In my opinion the back side just dosen't look female. Something about how the hips tie into the thighs... then again the hips are as wide as the shoulders, most guys have narower hips... I think I analize to much. ^-^

24 Dec 2002	Anonymous	Loading... That's the prince looking out the window. And yes it is because the black rider is holding sleeping beauty's head, Hint the title people ???? Geez pay attention to the drawing.
18 Jan 2003	Dark Alice	Loading... is he sitting on a head? I'd like a better discreption, ya know, the deeper thoughts involved...
4 Mar 2003	PutYourLightsOn	Loading... Poor sleeping beauty. How much easier it is just to sleep and not have to see the world.
18 Mar 2003	raven	Loading... HA she lost her head...i find that funny...god im evil!!!!
1 May 2003	Rebecca Carr	Loading... I'm lucky because I got to see this one in its intended form. . . as a fake fairy tale book in the 3D world. This format takes something away from it, I believe.
24 Jul 2003	Anonymous	Loading... Just...plain wow. Reading the history behind the picture makes it that much more worth-while, and that whole 'Prince Charming' comment just jumped out me. The picture is devistatingly beautiful.
14 Feb 2004	Lord Biohazard	Loading... Although I tend to agree with the general view you present here, I am compelled to tell you "Not to give up hope". A rare and elusive creature it is; but "Chivalrous Gentleman" do (still) exist...
12 Dec 2005	Anony-mous	Loading... to the Ashley Sharier chick. not all females have bird legs darlin'. so she's not as feminine as females are usually portrayed, so what who said that girls had to have thin legs?
