Finished this up on my livestream yesterday. I think I had computer problems that were causing MakerTube to freak out a bit… I re-uploaded the recording, so the creation of this piece is all there now.

Here’s the speedpaint: makertube.net/w/2aAsvstzyV9jcE

And here are the two livestream recordings:

Illustration of a moment inspired by the Little Mermaid where she looks up at a ship on the surface of the water in a sunset. Bubbles surround her as she is darkly lit in shadows and water. Deep textures and layers of colors descending from golden oranges and yellows at the top through teals to dark blues and purples at the bottom. The entire image is stylized with embossed lines in the the style of Art Nouveau.

Spinning Frigg Vintage Fairytale Pin: A beautiful vintage brass pin of a woman with her distaff and spinning wheel. Pin measures just over 1 3/4" (4.5cm) wide. 

Frigg is the Norse Goddess of spinning-- it is said that she spun the clouds and you can see her spinning wheel in the sky as the constellation known as Orion's Belt.

Got this piece completed this morning. It’s a riff on “Jack & the Beanstalk”.

I tried some foil-looking thing for the leaves this time, and I don’t think it’s as effective here as it could be for something that really needs something shiny or sparkly—like Cinderella, maybe? Hm.

Anyway, it’s done! All me and Procreate—not a lick of AI involved at all. Hate the stuff.

I’m actually really really happy with it! This was a stretch for me, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned this last week is that stretching is important. My stiff, sore body can attest to that.

Illustrated piece inspired by “Jack & the Beanstalk”, done in a heavily textured Art Nouveau style. It features a stylized beanstalk on the left, clouds at the top, and a painterly sky in the background. A small Jack figure is at the bottom ascending the stalk. Canvas textures, raised piped stripes of “clay”, and painterly distressing are included. Colors are predominantly greens, blues, and browns.

Some musings on the upcoming #SnowWhite movie:

Well, changing folk tales to suit new audiences is a well-established tradition, and something done by the Brothers Grimm themselves - so I can't fault #Disney for that.

However, I am getting tired of Disney

(a) retreading the same ground over and over again, and

(b) shoving all this pro-Monarchy propaganda down our throats. I am extremely leery of portrayals of monarchs as "good people", especially nowadays that people like the #DarkEnlightenment loons seem to actually gain major political influence.

Coincidentally, there are quite a few German folk tales about "good kings and emperors" who sleep beneath a mountain somewhere and would return in "Germany's hour of greatest need". This reflects the time these tales were written down in - after the Holy Roman Empire was shattered during the Napoleonic Wars at the start of the 19th century but before the Second German Empire arose in 1871. Some of these tales - and the books containing them - were very blatant propaganda pieces wishing for a "Great National Leader" to unite the nation. As they say, be careful what they wish for...

But there are many, many more tales about cruel, evil, and greedy local rulers - the kinds of nobles peasants would have had the most contact with. And many of them come to very bad end at the hands of the Devil who punishes them for their wicked deeds.

That modern fairy tale narratives mostly tend to focus on princes and princesses rather than plucky peasant heroes and heroines is a fairly modern trend. The protagonists need to be "special" thanks to their birth, rather than what they do. Something to think about.
