Utau Lare Black Swan UNCOLORED

In celebration of the new Swan Lake related movie, Black Swan. I not only started writing a book which is a twist on Swan Lake and is from the point of view of Odile. I also drew this picture.

Lare is a ballerina playing the part of Odile in my story: Black Swan, minus the blue skin. She has black wings in this picture.

I did my best trying to draw this realistically and good sideways.

And with that said, here's a little taste of the story Black Swan:

The Castle is cold, dark and filled with my misery and Rothbart's evil.
When I was a baby, my parents the King and Queen gave me up
for having red eyes like a black swan. A small deformity that would be frowned upon in the kingdom if the princess had it, because
having red eyes is a sign of evil. Which is why they gave me to Rothbart to love and care and to raise as a daughter. Though Rothbart thought he could live in the castle but instead he had to live in exile. Which he did, he found an old and ancient castle belonging to an old royal family that wasn't there anymore. He raised me like his daughter, taught me everything he knows including magic. He even gave me a crystal ball. Which I stare at right now.
I see my golden hair, blue eyed, fair skinned twin laughing with the prince. The man she's suppose to marry. I look at my own hand blue skinned due to a messed up spell and black nails. She's doesn't know the truth and here she laughs with ignorance. She's defining the quote, 'Ignorance is bliss.' My attention shifts to the prince, his long black hair. His broad shoulders. The smoothness of his voice.

My attention breaks, once I feel arms around me. Rothbart's arms of course since there is no one else in this castle but us and servants.
Servants would only dare to touch me when I am sick and its bath time or dressing time. Yes, unlike my spoiled sister Odette I do bath myself, dress myself even though we do have people that can do stuff like that for me.
Rothbart breaths deeply into my ear, I can smell alchohal heavy on his breath, but I do not worry he is drunk for Rothbart has become completely immune to effects of alchohal and drinks only for the taste. I only worry that the smell will burn off parts of the inside of my nose and wish that he would change the scent of alchohal somehow.
"Is this your wish?" He asks. "I will grant it." I say nothing to Rothbart's comment and listen and wait for his footsteps to retreat and his weight to fade away. Which happens quicker then I thought. I am left with seeing the crystal ball and I know, that my wish will not be granted because whenever dark goes against light, light always win. That's the way it has been and that's the way it'll always go unfortunately.


So Rothbart planned his plan. He then took my twin, placed her under a curse to be a swan forever. Though without anyone but me and her knowing, I turned myself into Rothbart and tweaked the curse a bit. Letting her become human on a full moon and have the curse be broken only if someone declare's her love for her.
Rothbart then places me in the court of the prince. Who pities him, the old man who lives in a hut in the woods with a daughter who wishes to do work but didn't want her to do any due to her gray skin which is why he never showed her to anyone. He even builds the old wooden hut which blends in with the trees of the woods.
And so during the day I work in the court but at night I sneak away to study magic under Rothbart. And every day I do this, every day Rothbart asks Odette to marry him and he will destory the curse and Odette refuses.

A month later, I pick roses in the garden for the queen and the prince is in the garden too, alone. He must've snuck out, I thought. I then hid behind a rose bush, being careful to not be seen. Even though my wish was to be with him. I have a feeling his sneaking out is no good and will lead to trouble.

Anyway this is in the:
Fan Art, Traditional Art, Drawings, Miscellaneous

Due to the fact that Swan Lake is a Ballet and this is a ballet fan art. By the way, fav composer Tchaikovsky was part of the production along with the famous Nutcracker, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella (I think not too sure about Cinderella)
