Secret Santa: Belle by ArtCrawl on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Yay! Here's to cutting it close! The last Secret Santa piece done! This time for 's event.

My recipient, , said they love Belle and Lord of the Rings. So I thought what better way to cross those two things over than to have Belle reading the Lord of the Rings. I made her in modern times so that it would make more sense that she has the book. Which was real fun cause then I got to draw her in a different outfit. Hopefully, I'll get to draw more modern Disney in the future. :fingerscrossed: Making her hair down was sort of a selfish decision. (I'm sorry) Because I always thought, as a kid, that she looked really pretty that way and was disappointed they didn't show her with her hair down more. Hopefully it's okay and still recognizable as Belle. Another small thing I thought might be fun to do was making the piece a more long rectangular size than my usual one, so you know, it could maybe serve as a bookmark. Because, who better to be on a bookmark than Belle?

I really wanted to find a way to add in more easter eggs, but I had decided a while ago that I would try not to kill myself with art. So I tried to take it easy. I did, though, add in Chip and some books I thought Belle would read. So there's that.

The holidays are over but I hope you still appreciate receiving a gift art piece anyway, JaceyKing. Thanks for your patience and happy (super belated) holidays to ya!
