Fairy Tales

[secondlina]

It seems Disney is going back to fairy tales lately (Rapunzel coming out in 2010, The Snow Queen is announced as the next "traditionnally animated" feature, the princess and the frog just came out...). It makes me really happy and makes me want to dive back into fairy tale stories a bit. Yeah, Disney uses clean versions of the tales, but it's still fun to see their adaptation and encourages me to start doing my own again. I looked on the internet for this specific piece of art associated to an Andersen fairy tale. I don't know which tale it is, who the artist is... I just know the image struck me as awesome. I,m not even sure if it's a boy and a girl or two girls in the picture. But I kinda want to write a story for this image. If anyone knows where it's from, please let me know!



Kinda seems like a princess and a traveler no?

Aside from that, I still seem to be having a bit of trouble inspiring myself and motivating myself to draw. Ideas for motivation you guys?

Okay, it's my bedtime. Work starts back tomorrow. Adieu , xmas vacation. You were fun.

That's a pretty neat image -- not sure where it's from, but it does make all sorts of scenarios spring to mind. :D I find that pictures like this (mysterious/no idea what's happening) or music inspire me best.

I'm so glad Disney is getting back into the traditional animation and fairy tales -- that was another thing that always inspired me. <3

I really like music too. In a way, I prefer music I can't understand (aka voiceless or another language then french or english) so I can focus more on the mood and the sound to inspire me.

Ditto. Not being able to understand a language helps keep the focus off the lyrics and on the music and mood instead. And even if you do understand some of it (like Japanese), it's still so different from your own native language that you can flow with the music over the lyrics.
