Theme "Beauty and the Beast" Poster

One project from my "Character and Object Design" Class.

The assignment was to use the theme of one popular "fairy tale", create three characters based off the story and create a full-color poster using that theme. We were given the option of using plenty of 'artistic license'.

I chose to recreate the story "Beauty and the Beast".
My personal twists on the original tale include the beast and beauty's genders swapped, and a modern/futuristic setting.

My three characters are Beauty, the Beast, and Beauty's Father.


~~ Artist comments ~~

BEHOLD MY HAND-PAINTED BACKGROUND!!! ... done with a MOUSE!!

Anyways, this was quite an undertaking... I wanted to show that I could DO more complex work if I wanted, that before I'd been making them monotone on purpose, anyways the idea here is I wanted to portray some of MY beast's more feminine aspects, she was created to fight in a war, but always hated killing. It causes her great pain and sorrow but she cannot even cry. The Father character is a veteran of the 'War'. hence his almost mercenary appearance.

Names would be appreciated if you got somethin' for me!

Beast's name is Aeona
Father: Max?
