Artist's Comments

A drop of blood bloomed on her fingertip and like a petal falling from a rose, Briar's eyelids slipped closed. Dreams, dark and tangled, ensnared her as the spindle and wheel fell to pieces, only to grow again into a thick thorny hedge protecting the sleeping princess from all who would disturb her slumber...

If I were ever going to do the cover of a book of retold fairytales, I'd want it to be something like this. Something dark, lovely, and a little twisted.

Loosely referenced from the lovely *faestock [link]

I screencapped this one, so a video time lapse may be forthcoming.

A very great amount of love for this one. LOVe the colour scheme, dark and heavy and organic and mossy, heart-of-the-forest green. Love the realism, the tangiblity of the girl's features. Her hand is gorgeous, the whole composition is graceful and strong.
Dark, a little twisted and lovely, it is all that.

High, high class, and definitely one of your finer pieces in my book.

Nostalgic for 80s fantasy films. When glitter was cheap, monsters were muppets, and Evil was smexy.
