Description
I always love making fairy tale illustrations. This picture of Snow White was done for the art community on Live Journal called Art Memes that I participate in.Now technically, if I was remaining entirely true to the Brothers Grimm version of Snow White (which is my favorite), the apple's skin would be half red and half white, but I just like the visual of an all red apple better. A two-toned apple always seemed far too suspicious to me, but Snow White is a gullible girl.
The line art was inked on paper and then I painted on a series of ink washes. After that, I scanned it and all the color was added in Photoshop with my tablet.
Prints of this picture are now available!
February of 2006.

So, I just got back from seeing "Snow White and the Hunstman". I'm writing the Touhou Talk review tomorrow (I'm too tired now, and I'm supposed to take things more slowly with Touhou Talk in comparison to Touhou Reviews).
However, I can still give you my honest opinion on it:
it was awesome! A really good epic fantasy movie. Those movies are rarer nowadays (the only good one so far has been the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, which is why I'm excited for "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey"), so it was a delight to finally see a good one on the big screen.
The Dark Forest is, appropiately enough, dark and surreal, the Sanctuary encapsulates all the magic and wonder and innocence of the original fairy tale, the Huntsman was really good as the gruff and tough badass with a heart of gold, the Dwarves were both awesome and hilarious, and Kristen Stewart was surprisingly good as Snow White. She was a true feminist icon: strong in spirit, a good leader, willing to stand up for herself and ready to fight evil while also being kind and sensitive. I guess "Twilight" is just badly written as opposed to badly acted.
And Queen Ravenna was a vriot. I love these cheesy over-the-top villains who shout and overact at every turn, it's just makes everything funnier (and, by proxy, more enjoyable). She reminded me of Raul Julia as M. Bison in the 90s "Street Fighter" movie, or Komodo from "Warriors of Virtue".
And, not to give anything away, but yes, the scene you depicted in the drawing happens. I won't tell you when, but trust me, you won't expect it. It seriously came out of left field.
I guess that my only complaint is that the Dark Forest scene went too long, trying to make the movie go to a place where it shouldn't go.
So, what about you, jackieocean? Did you see "Snow White and the Hunstman"? And if you did, what do you think of it?

She IS gullible. I love that story
Her hair seems a little...flat? that doesn't seem to be the right word...but it's the best I can think of.
This is really good.

The detailed strands of her hair and slightly rosy cheeks are beautful.

Love the picture! I also like the original forms of the fairytales the best. Real Snow white would sooooo kick Disney-Snow whiteΒ΄s ass.

I just love the coloring to bits! I'm not even sure exactly why, I think it's the choice of background and the texture and... just... everything flows so beautifully together.

Different versions of fairy tales are just so entertaining.

this version of Snow White is very very pretty to say the least- back to the "pure" roots of the story.

Thanks! I grew up with the Disney versions of stories, but I'm fascinated with the original versions of fairy tales and seeing how they change in different societies.

Wow, this is beautiful
I like the Grimm version better too^^
Disney just made her so...innocent and oblivious ^^
Still, disney is cool.

And you do a wonderful job at it. (in all honesty, I only read the title when I clicked on it, and found out you did it after I saw it.

I simply adore all of the textures in her hair - all those blue-black curly bits!
I think I'm also rather impressed with the subtle shading around Snow White's eyes. Beautiful work.
