Swan Pinups

[aimeekitty]

I would have liked to have refined these more or played with more poses, etc... but life gets in the way!
Also, the sleeping with fireflies one suffers from a CMYK/markerdeath issue. *_* (it's more intense in person)

this is from the Wild Swans

first, her evil stepmother sends poison frogs into her bath. She is so sweet that the frogs turn into poppies as they reach her.


her evil stepmother gets tired of trying to "get her" and kicks her out. She ends up sleeping with the fireflies.




and then the previous one:

With your interest in the story, have you ever read the Sevenwaters trilogies by Juliet Marillierby? It's definitely an interesting take on the classic swan brothers story that you may enjoy exploring. :)

Why must poison frogs always be so cute?

Very pretty. I love her expression in the bath one.

The soft colored lines really make these Aimee. Very very nice :D

thanks, you guys suggested I leave the lines off on the previous, so I thought if I toned them down and colored them a little that it would work. :) YEAY!

I used to love this story when I was a kid, I guess I still do LOL! These are all really pretty, but I love the one with the fireflies.

Oh, I love what you did with the linework in the fireflies picture . . . and the frog turning into a poppy is WONDERFUL!
