mirror, mirror on the wall
who in this land is fairest of all?

it's snow white with beauty so still
but oh! such longing for the things that kill



Something different for a change. ^^ I want to do a gothic fairy tale series using mostly black and white and a few drops of other colors, but since I'm so excellent (sarcasm) at keeping up with drawing things in a series, no promises there.

I've never been a fan of Disney's snow white. She seems just a bit too cloying to me. In the Grimm version, Snow White is also much worse at resisting temptation, as she was accosted not one but THREE times by the queen to buy bodice lace, a comb, and an apple.

Drawn in my sketchbook with pencil and ink and scanned. Quick colors thrown on in Photoshop

I thought the disney version was cute . . . but i agree, the grimm version's are always better.
