Beauty & The Beast


©Armand Serrano.
A different take on Belle and the Beast. We we're at the dental clinic for my daughter yesterday morning and they were showing this favorite film of mine which I haven't seen for a while. Got inspired and thought that it would be refreshing to see a different take on it. Here it is all done in PS.

great stuff. Love the color of the beast and the composition

Marco Bucci said...

this is very cool. Not only is it visually different, but emotionally too. I get a sense this film is much darker. I love it.

Marcelo Vignali said...

Wow Armand! This is a great take on the classic. An albino Beast? Who would have thunk-it?

Tatevik Avakyan said...

Great work -its beautiful!

Michael Mercer said...

I would like to see that beast in a fit. His colors look kind of happy--more refined and upright. Very cool.

I assume the disney version was playing at the dentists but yours seems more inspired by the Cocteau version. Superb digital painting.

Armand! This is absolutely gorgeous! I have to really sit down and catch up on all these lovely drawings (the dirigible reminds me of Red Alert 3, I don't know why).

Also, Chris Deboda was evil and tagged me, so I am tagging back! You have been tagged!

Will update via email soon. Am costuming and preparing for the Lord of the Rings Symphony...argh!

Unconventional women don't ed hardy often fit into more ed hardy shoes conventional sizes. Instead, they are ed hardy clothing faced with the challenge of finding comfortable ed hardy clothes and stylish plus size women's clothing. By and large, most ed hardy store store refuse to stock sizes in ed hardy Bikini excess of a size 14 ed hardy swimsuits or 16. This means they have ed hardy Caps to find the clothes they need in specialty buy ed hardy store that can be very expensive. What then ed hardy swimwear is a plus size ed hardy sale woman to do? She has to do ed hardy glasses her research and find the cheap ed hardy places, both online and Christian audigier off, that will accommodate her wardrobe
