The Wild Swans Redux

[aimeekitty]

This is based on The Wild Swans Fairy Tale.
Basically about a princess and her brothers... her evil stepmother turns the brothers into swans and the sister has to save them. I was hoping to get a little bit of a pin up feel to these.
The previous image I did for this is here.
The evil stepmother sends evil frogs into her bath, but her goodness
turns them into poppies.

then the evil stepmother throws her out, she sleeps with fireflies
(and then later finds her brothers... so the first image in this thread would actually be the "last one")

That's one of my favorite fairy tales...that, and the Snow Queen (as written by Hans Christian Andersen)

I have a picture in a book I want to scan for you. I don't think it's the same fairy tale, but I know you'll like it.

ooh, I remember that story! and she made them shirts out of poison ivy or something... and she couldn't talk the whole time so they almost burned her for being a witch

Luv the first image by the way!!

I love that fairy tale... I have a gorgeously illustrated version of it, though I really, really love your take on it. :) Beautiful work, as always.

I've always seen the swan brothers transport the princess in a net. Which I think could also easily adapt to a pinup image. The first one just looks awkward to me. =/

I absolutely adore the third/second image tho :)
