I’ve been trying to identify this piece with no luck! I’m wondering if anyone can help me identify it? It’s 5.5 inches tall. Everything I’ve found the leaves are green. I’d be really grateful if someone could point me in the right direction. I think I must of got it somewhere between 2012-2016.

(the first images are the re drawn ones. The second were the original).

So in my last post I shared some sketches.

They were merely concept drawings.

And it was brought to my attention that the human version of the beast looked too masculine.

And you were all absolutely right.

I was kinda of irked at the fact that the design was deemed too masculine, but looking at it again, I can see why.

For some reason when designing characters, I like to exaggerate features.

And I give characters small "insecurities".

For example, the bags under their eyes.

Or prominent noses.

And I am not good at drawing people as you can tell.

I'd honestly rather animate a horse.

But making my own adaptation of beauty and the beast, has been a project I have been working on for years.

And I want it to be a special one.

So I just decided to re draw all images of the human version of the beast.

I also wanted to keep in mind of having elements of both forms.

Like the curly hair, and the eyebrows.

Things that need to be kept.

I hope you all sort of enjoy my artwork.

And if I hear another remark about the design.... I'll keep it in mind, and cry myself to sleep.

(bonus beast's reading glasses, because I felt like drawing it)

These sketches are just to get a feeling of the characters, and their designs, and how well they contrast each other.

To make each character feel like a real person.

Subtle things like giving the beast some reading glasses,

Just to make her feel more human, and to have human issues.

And again with more female gaze designs.

I made the human version of the beast not conventionally attractive, by giving her a kind of robust look.

The big brow, the large nose, and the slanted eyes.

For beauty, I'm still working on her.

That's why she's sort of off model in some drawings.

She's also a complicated character.

Beauty has her own human issues too.

But again, still working on that.

The reason why I started this project, because I feel, as gay individual myself, I feel there is not a lot of wlw (women loving women) representations.

Sure there's a few movies and books and TV shows, but that's really only a handful. And most of them are for the male gaze.

I also started this project because well, most Beauty and the beast adaptations are kind of the same.

So, I hope you all enjoy my artwork!
