SciFi and Fantasy Art Sad Truth about Sleeping Beauty by Helena Štìpánová

Well, Prince knew the story. Story about that beautiful princess sleeping in a far away enchanted realm, locked in the tower, roses and thorns all around.
He was a romantic young lad, head full of tales, fairy tales, legends, dragons and such... He, of course, knew about other princesses. But just going and asking her parents he found really dull and he did not actually like the idea of fighting with a dragon either. Sleeping Beauty was the best choice.
So he set on the long journey, everything turned up to be pretty easy and those rose bushes were not at all that terrible. 'This part of the story about the journey and the roses and thorns' he thought 'was slightly overcoloured...' Actually, he felt a little cheated by those, who told him the whole tale. He expected an adventure and instead he got a long boring journey and a lot of bad weather (which was unpleasant, but far from adventurous).
And when the journey came finally to its end, he went up the stairs, to the chamber at the top of the tower. He went in. And what he found fairly dissapointed him.
Well, he realized, that going and asking a maid's parents for her hand doesn't have to be that dull at all. So he left Sleeping Beauty to her eternal rest and returned home.

Great idea, composition and final result (I especially like the roses). Helena Štìpánová replies: "Thanks..."

17 Aug 2006	Kayura	Loading... Oh..You scared me. I'm staying up all night and stuff and i see this skeleton. Now i realize why he was disappointed. Haha. It was funny. But you really scared me.
2 Apr 2007	Irian	Loading... That's Terrible! I love it. Wonderful idea!
10 Jul 2007	Anonymous	Loading... That is funny. Very!!! Never thought of the story like that. I cracked up so badly!!! She looks good like that though, i have to say.
7 Feb 2008	Schafwolle	Loading... give her a big kiss! lol
4 Apr 2008	Aimee	Loading... For Heaven’s sake, do I even have to say anything? The prince loved Sleeping Beauty, he really did! I hope little kids won’t think this is the real story! (I will say though that in older versions of Sleeping Beauty, the prince didn’t kiss her; he got her pregnant in her sleep. She woke up when she gave birth.) And that’s not a rewrite!
