Beauty and the Beast by TGB-illustrations

My interpretation of Beauty and the Beast. I tried to come with a "look" that I hadn't seen used before and used Regency England as my inspiration.

Awesome job! Reminds me to never judge a book by its cover.

Its gorgeous! My favorite fairytale! *-*

SirTancrede Featured By Owner Aug 5, 2016

Had the same idea for my own work! But it's the 2011 Jane Eyre version I've recently discovered that gave me the inspiration. This "look" is perfect to me for this tale.

I love the look in her eyes. An amazing piece of art

LizAdeniji Featured By Owner Mar 14, 2016 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I really like how she sits in front of the portrait, totally oblivious to it, all her attention on the "beast".

I feel like the expressions on their faces would be the hardest thing to capture in a scenario like this, and yet the faces are what I like the best about it! Bravo!

Wow! The Beast is quite intimidating here. The expression on Beauty's face is lovely, she is interested in him and doesn't seem scared in the least. I really love the small antique details you put into the wall paintings. It is a great piece.

TGB-illustrations Featured By Owner Aug 1, 2013

This is amazing! I like that the Beast is different.

mclaranium Featured By Owner Oct 28, 2014

you like that Beast is different . . .
is him different from what??
what's the reference or comparison??

TGB-illustrations Featured By Owner Jul 1, 2013

Thank you so much! Really glad you liked it

I always try to come up with an original idea - originally i was going to use an Elizabethan setting and a reptilian Beast. Im glad I went with this one!!!

“She laughed at him then, because he sounded like a small boy, not like a very large grown-up Beast with a voice so deep it made the hair on the back of your neck stir when you heard it. 'But vegetables are good for you,' she said, and added caressingly, 'They make you grow up big and strong.'

He smiled, showing a great many teeth. 'You see why I wish to eat no more vegetables.”
― Robin McKinley, Rose Daughter

What a great quote! Strangely I have never read either of McKinleys Beauty and The Beast novels but I think I might now!

This is fantastic artwork! That portrait of the human prince is the perfect touch. I like the presence of a book on the table, a nod to Disney's bibliophile.

TGB-illustrations Featured By Owner Jan 11, 2013

Yours comments are really apprecated.......thank you so much!

elphabaevitaeponine Featured By Owner Jan 7, 2013 Student

Stunning! Your Belle is gorgeous, and your Beast is truly beastly. I love how they look like they care so much about each other. And it's a nice touch having the painting of the Beast as he was in human form in the background. Fantastic!

TGB-illustrations Featured By Owner Jan 11, 2013

Thank you so much - so pleased you liked it.

CherShareLee Featured By Owner Dec 17, 2012

Thank you! I will also pass on your comments to my cousin who posed for Beauty - she will be thrilled!!!

at last something different! I was tired of the same disney thing.. I love this work, totally original

TGB-illustrations Featured By Owner Dec 20, 2012

Although I enjoy many Disney films I get so frustrated when people take them to be the "definitive" version of a classic which is why I always refer to the classic texts for inspiration. Glad you liked it!
