Description She's the belle of the ball!

More homework, not quite as sloppy.

Oh, Janet. You truly are from another planet.

Magnificent~

I seem to have a different interpretation than most your other watchers, and undoubtedly it is a far cry from your original concept.

When I see Janet with her hair powdered and done-up, dressed in an ostridge feather dress, wearing fishnet leggings with her long thin feet slipped into black stilettos, I recall a very twisted version of the character Odette from Swan Lake. With that cruel grin of hers still drenched in blood, I can't help but feel a vicious sense of pride over her revenge for being stood up by "Prince Charming" at the ball.

Great work nevertheless Though, I've never heard of any operas with a character named Janet; you'll have to clue me in so I can go look it up!

maladies In reply to celdragon [2009-11-24 16:32:13 +0000 UTC]

Haha yeah, I actually named her after a character from a soap opera that my mother watched when I was little. There was a character on there, and all I remembered was "Janet from another planet"... I was convinced the character was an alien (I didn't actually pay attention to the soaps, didn't like them, but they'd be on in the background when I was a kid...it stuck!)

Tell me to STFU if you want, but Janet reminds me of the scene in Beetlejuice where the dead couple deform themselves to try and scare away the Living. Geena Davis looked just like that, didn't she? Kinda?

maladies In reply to RifkaMarie [2009-11-24 04:29:25 +0000 UTC]

Eeeh I will be honest, I get really tired of hearing that (it seems you can't do gothic/horror cartoon art without being compared to something or another that burton has done.) but I know people can't help but make connections. There's only so much you can do with a bird skull without completely distorting it, but that isn't the style i'm using for the character set Janet is from lol (ie: not really wanting to distort so far as to butch hartman or craig mccracket style )

[link] I can see it, but i'd say its far from "just like that"

but no, I won't tell you to STFU I allow comments and so I take what I get. (well, half of my pu-sama gallery has comments locked haha)

RifkaMarie In reply to maladies [2009-11-24 04:36:09 +0000 UTC]

In my defense, it's not a movie I have memorized. I think maybe it's more like Geena Davis would have looked like Janet if she had closed her mouth! LOL

TBH, I have a brain that tends to point out similarities. I do it with music as well as pictures. (I'm very good at puzzles. It freaks my BF out!)

I want you to know I don't think Janet is based on that image, just that she reminded me of it

I watch you because I can honestly say I've never seen your style anywhere else.

maladies In reply to RifkaMarie [2009-11-24 05:26:11 +0000 UTC]

Haha, really, its no problem! I do get told that a lot, and so I just thought "well, I'll be honest... no point in not being honest!" but like I said, I can totally see WHY people make that connection. Burton's designs are great and there is no doubt inspiration from me growing up with his movies, but I would like to think of it more as inspiration that it is OKAY to pursue storylines that are dark and morbid with bizarre characters rather than people thinking I am out to emulate him (which is rough, because I love german expressionism and edward gorey, both are obvious big influences on him as well... dangit all! lol)

I laughed at this. This was great. Mostly because the first thing you think of with that title is pretty girls being brought out at the debutant ball and dancing in pretty dresses.

It scared my mother lol.
