Description Hey folks, I'm half dead from this week, so I can honestly say I've gotten nothing done (proof positive that I need my own place). Here's a slightly old one---I'd put it aside until I could think up a background and forgot about it... as you can see, the background thing failed all together

So this is Maurice and his wife, probably before they got married (that or at least before Belle was born). I reckon he's trying to pull her off to see an invention that he's been working on and she thinks it's the cutest thing ever.

Alright, as soon as humanly possible, I promise to get more art (CotT, Harry Potter, and stories... etc...) done. Hope everyone's having a good kick-off to spring

Oh yeah, and.... huh... well I'm still gonna note Disney in this because they own the world anyway.

Aaaawww... that scene! It's so wonderful to imagine a young, enthusiastic and totally-in-love Maurice.
Fine work at Belle's mom since there is a similarity to her daughter, but she does have own features.

Thanks! I like to think that Maurice was just in even more in love with her because she was genuinely interested in what he came up with. Or at least wasn't dismissive. She loved that he was so much more than the humdrum of the other villagers. (like mother like daughter and all that)

Aww yay! Belle's mom needs love too!!! I wish we could've learned more about her but at least there is a picture of her in their house. : ]

So true! ^_^ So many mothers die off in fairy tales, it's rather depressing. I think Belle gets her need for adventure and a stimulating life from her mother

This picture is so beautiful! I especially love Belle's mother, and how she does not look like a carbon copy of her daughter, unlike SOME Disney parents (*cough* ATHENA! *cough* I rectify Athena with my Yocheved, if ya wanna check it out.). And Maurice looks almost handsome when he was young, which I really like! I'm totally faving this.

why thank you! ^_^ I like to think Belle's the perfect mix of her parents, including her hair color. Yes, I watched Beauty and the Beast WAY too many times as a child (and teen... and young adult... ). To an extent I can see where children can look like carbon copies, but there's always got to be something from the other parent, in my opinion. (And yes, I agree with your opinion of Athena. If nothing else, they should have made her hair more like Attina's or at least had Triton with different color hair---because where the heck did Ariel's sisters get their coloring from??) And I'm glad you like Maurice ^_^ I imagine him a bit "portly" even when he was younger, but he's just got something going for him that can't be described

Nonsense! You can never watch Beauty and the Beast too many times! And I'm so glad to find more people who dislike Athena!

Yeah, Maurice is really great, isn't he? It's his personality, I think, that's what he's really got going for him. I like to think that when he and Belle's mother met, the first thing he did was crack a joke to make her laugh, or went out of his way to show her an invention, or tried to stand up for her against some bullies (and, sadly, probably failed 'cause he's Maurice, but she would have loved that he tried anyway) or something Mauricey like that.

lol Yeah, that's probably true. ^_^ And I'm pretty sure as many people who dislike Melody (or at least the way they portrayed her) dislike Athena. I won't say she's my least favorite creation, but she---or at least the background of the story could have been greatly improved.

Maurice is a doll I don't know about a joke, though yeah it's possible Actually all of those ideas would probably fit fairly well! I think---if you've seen criminal minds---he'd probably be alot like Dr Reid, highly geeky and awkward but not realizing it Something I may have to look into someday... after all, I've been writing alot of backstory involving Belle's family....

Oooh lol don't worry, initiative is an interesting thing, it's not like you're harassing me to draw or anything ^_^ And I do like her having dark hair, and the crown is very much like Attina's which I love

Lovely! She's very pretty, but I suppose Belle never did look much like Maurice
