Description Old stuff because I can't draw anything now... This is inspired by the concept art made for "Frozen", the new Disney film based on Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale "The Snow Queen", to be released in 2013.

Yeah, I don't know why they keep on changing the names of the tales from "the protagonist name" to "a verb". Maybe because they think it sounds cooler? Dunno...

Anyways, I always loved the Queen character, I hope they can make a great film, preferably in 2D, but who knows, we don't have a final design for the Queen yet. For the time being, this is a personal vision of her Hope you like it!

Ooooh how stunning! If only the final film looked like this and not that weird Barbie-esque nonsense we got instead. :/

Im confuse about the Snow Queen, why did she kidnap Kai? Did Kai like her snow or the Snow queen liked him?

Technically both "Tangled" and "Frozen" are adjectives, not verbs. *COUGH* I'm sorry I had to say it. But I agree, it's an odd little trend they have going there. Anyhoo, your interpretation is beautiful too!

I think they switch the names to try to market the movies to both young girls and boys.

Just saw this one on the "DisneyFrozen" tumblr. It's a nice piece, I especially like the fur texture of her shawl.

Oh I wish she is going to look like this, I love that cold and unimpressed look on her face so much The background is simple yet has a lot of atmosphere somehow, the whole picture is so beautiful!
I think I heard it´s definitely going to be a CGI

¿Es más fácil colorear pieles ultrapálidas?

Queda genial el efecto unido a la expresión de horchata fresquita en las venas que tiene. Y la tiara (a mí sólo de pensar en dibujar objetos brillantes me entran escalofríos).

Ni idea de lo de la peli de Disney, pero me recuerda a un videojuego, Age of Wonders (sobre todo la segunda parte), en el que aparte de elfos, orcos y demás había una raza llamada frostlings que tenía una unidad llamada Frost Witch que por donde avanzaba se quedaba todo cubierto de hielo y nieve. Ains, nostalgia.

Arbetta In reply to hrothila [2012-06-25 11:29:17 +0000 UTC]

Sí que es más fácil... busca ilustraciones de Yoshitaka Amano y verás por qué

A ver si dibujo una tiara mejor, esta es una caquita brillante (uyyyssss), pero muchas gracias... Las cosas brillantes son lo más fácil de hacer del mundo (y además es divertido jeje), tienen una parte más oscura, otra que refleja algo que haya cerca (normalmente es gris, o neutra) y luego una superior más clara, con una pizca de blanco (puedes fijarte en el pedazo de joyas que llevan en Aladín, por ejemplo!)

Jo, tío. Yo sólo tengo nostalgia del Pokémon y de la versión cutre sin monjes españoles del Age of Empires...

¡Jaja, lo dices como si fuera lo más fácil del mundo pero apenas visualizo los pasos! Lo de las lecciones particulares empieza a ser urgente.

Grandes los fray Pericos del Age of Empires. Y más los sacerdotes del original, los del wololo.

WOLOLOOOO!!! Era lo mejor del AoE, pero en el juego que tenía mi hermano no estaban!!! PORRR QUÉEEEE???

Daremos clases! Aunque yo creo que es solamente práctica, hasta que pilles tu estilo... Hay muchos tutoriales en DeviantArt muy buenos además, que te lo explicarán mejor que yo, vaya...

PARA CUÁNDO MÁS DIBUJOS????

Igual tu hermano era un pirata, o tenía el AoE2 y no el 1. ¡No sé!

El problema de los tutoriales es que hay tantos que es difícil separar el grano de la paja si no tienes ni idea. Además así veo cómo lo haces tú ^_^

PD: he estado mazo de ocupado con cosas de trabajo (yeah), pero los dos proyectos que tengo van evolucionando en mi cabeza. De uno hay bocetos. Del otro no hay na de na todavía.

So beautiful!!
(The snow queen isn't the protagonist though, she's the villain! )
Also, sadly the reason they keep changing the titles is because they don't want girls' names in the titles because they think boys won't see movies about girls.
Anyways, your snow queen is gorgeous and I hope Disney does as good a job!

She might be a "villain" like you said, but she isn't pure evil, though... isn't it?
I hope the queen would be beautiful and NOT an ugly and evil old hag.

ghostyheart In reply to Missplayer30 [2012-06-21 01:14:06 +0000 UTC]

No, in the story she is not really evil, she just values knowledge over love. Most of the concept art of her has been beautiful, I hope she's beautiful too.

Arbetta In reply to ghostyheart [2012-06-19 00:52:03 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm... I guess that makes sense (about the title), but I still prefer the original fairy tale titles, like in the Little Mermaid or Cinderella, it's classic!
