I painted this for *DeadLulu's Dark Fairytale contest: [link] (I won 2nd place )
I wanted to have a go at this contest because the theme was interesting, but I'm not so sure about how this turned out...There are many things I don't like about it, but I put a lot of work into it, so since I finished it, I thought I might as well throw my hat in the ring, anyway.
Beauty and the Beast is probably my favorite fairytale, so I thought, how can I darken it up....by making the beast some skele-demon who keeps the girl in a mausoleum in a decrepit graveyard instead of a big castle? Sure.
I love the movie beauty and the beast and i must say you capture the essence of the story that i love in this painting. You really made a twist and beauty and the beast and I must say I absolutely love it.
