Description
Cassiopeia Art Website Facebook Tumblr
This was my entry for Wacom - Bring your vision to life contest and I've been working very hard on this for the last week! My initial idea for the contests theme "Good versus Evil" was to potray something from a genre full of good versus evil; fairytales.
I wanted to do the personification of good (in my eyes the innocence of a child) placed in the middle of all the bad and evil. Since I chose to do a child as good i kept on with the theme that the evil would be the dark menacing forest, in the middle of the night creeping with monsters and scary things like many fairytales do. Yet she is safe and completely relaxed in her innocence, trusting in the light and the companions around her knowing that in fairytales, the good always wins no matter how much evil there is surrounding it. (Well, mostly at least )
**REVISED VERSION**
Mixed media work with all photos and painted parts except the following belonging to me;
Thank you to DarkMaiden-Stock for the beautiful stock of her gorgeous daughter that fitted so perfectly in this scene. The original model stock can be found here: darkmaiden-stock.deviantart.co…
Also big thanks to hatestock for inspiring photos of birds which i used as references for painting the ones in the image. Original stock used for reference can found here: hatestock.deviantart.com/art/b… and hatestock.deviantart.com/art/b…

This whole work is amazing! It is a fairy tale come to life. The little girl is so darling. She's so brave and not concerned at all with the scarries above. So protected by her innocence. Amazing work.

That's awesome. I love the complexity. And even with all those details my eyes are drawn to the "light" (the child's face.)

Aww, thank you so much for such sweet comment! I always have a hard time lighting a scene ( I need to work on it lots more) but I'm glad it did show through in this scene that her face is the focus point.

You're welcome.

Good luck in the contest!
