Magical!

Description

A piece celebrating all that is good magic in the disney universes. Ranging from deceased fathers, to magical fairys, from gods and wizards to genies and forces of nature. All lending their force to our little hero against an attack to disney castle.

This is definitely my biggest work to date, with more than 15 characters on a single piece and each and everyone of them separate from the other. I always try to do that when the characters are not directly interacting in the piece (i.e. Mushu and the Genie are in a single layer, not two). I love Disney. I am not OVERLY fanatic but I enjoyed their movies when I was a child (and I still do!!) but I mostly stick to the canons movies and a few of the sequels.

So my philosophy behind this is, I see that everybody draws the princesses and the villains and that's all very good but why not give some very well deserved love to the magical creatures that actually help our heroes and heroines to make their dreams come true and defeat the villains! My first idea was to make something similar to my Evil Flush piece focusing on only a few (it was going to be blue-themed with Merlin, Genie, Blue Fairy, Fairy Godmother and Triton) but when I was doing research the cast of magical supporting characters was just so big I decided to expand and voila, the idea for the piece was born.

I decided to stick to the the original characters own design and drawing style and unite them under a coloring style.

One rule I had was to NOT include the titular character(s) or protagonists, that's why there is no Elsa or, to some extent, Pocahontas or Ariel. Also, I took some artistic licenses with Grandmother Willow (I really love the character) because she can count as an extension of Pocahontas psique (same reason why the gargoyles from Notre Dame aren't included, they seemed part of Quasimodo's or anything from Wonderland since I truly believe it was all Alice's on drugs :P) and Mufasa's Ghost, since magic isn't necessarily a thing in the Lion King's world but I thought it would pair well with Atlantis' Heart on the other corner (and also, I REALLY wanted to include the Lion King). The only regret I have is the floating position of the Magic Harp, but she was a last minute addition and so she doesn't have a more grounded position (since she really can't fly) but I also really wanted to include hear and I beat myself for not thinking about her before. Other than that, the rest of the character are either magical or mystical or forces of nature, and at the end of the day, that's what magic really is...right?

There are a couple of easter eggs who aren't a big focus, let's see if you can find them :)

This is still beautiful. I have a hypothetical thought to ask you with this pic.
