Description
Hello beautiful deeevs!Today I started to hear that pre-orders have been coming in and the book has begun to pop up in stores- SO EXCITING! So I think I am in the clear to start posting some art from the Disney project I had been working on for a few wonderful months this autumn.
Before it got started, I needed to do some preliminary illustrations to demonstrate to them what the book might look like in my style. The result was this- which I got to kind of throw my heart into a little. My favorite time of day <3
Once this was settled, we were off to the races! If you'd like to see a little more, as well as some sketches- pop over here: nicholaskole.tumblr.com/post/8…
And if you'd like to order the book, it's available here: www.amazon.com/The-Curse-Malef…

Still one of my favourite pieces of yours! I love how the cape is floating on the wind.

You did this book? The reason I got it was for the illustrations. Thanks so much for your work.

Oh....the dragon horns are real. I always thought she just had peculiar taste in headgear O_O This is cool, though!

1. The use of wind as general force of movement in the picture is grand - there is not one thing, that stays untouched by it.
2. The design for Maleficent is perfectly balanced and interesting.
3. General composition - without a single flaw

hooray! Soon the book will be in your hands! This isn't in it, though- it was only a test painting to show them the look I was thinking of going for

thanks! I suppose it is, isn't it? Sometimes you need to put away the neon pinks and reacquaint yourself with beautiful neutrals

(although, this illo isn't in the book itself- this was just part of the pitch/test)
