Description Inspired by the ABC Series "Once Upon a Time"

I LOVE fairytales, but especially ones that have a (dark) twist. I'm loving watching "Once upon and Time" and cannot wait to see "Snow White and the Huntsman" when it comes out. It's quite a simple manip but I did have fun trying to create a dark, eerie feel. Hopefully I've succeeded.

I am sorry the size is a horrendously small. By the time I'd cropped it, it ended up a bit like an avatar.

Very subtle - I like! Can't wait to see "Snow White and the Huntsman" myself - looks epic!

Thank you! I KNOW. I get the excited giggles just watching the trailer. It looks amazing. I haven't heard from you for a while, how are you?

Can't complain too much. (Well, I can... My laptop monitor is busted and using an external monitor leaves me with a lack of keyboard, so I haven't been saying much... But I'm still hanging around and occasionally braving my on-screen tablet keyboard. I don't think the earthquakes did my poor laptop any favours!) I've just finished a Hansel and Gretel pic... Must have the fairytale bug too!

Ach, I hate technology. I'm trying to get my prehistoric tablet to work. Whenever I plug it in it just goes crazy doing its own thing. I wonder if its been possessed. Anyway I'm having a use a mouse at the moment, which sucks, until I can sort it.

O.O Hansel and Gretel pic - me like! Are you going to submit it? Fairytale bug is amazing.

Sindah In reply to Behana [2012-05-13 12:52:20 +0000 UTC]

Sounds like your tablet driver is corrupted. If you have the install disk it may be worth a try reinstalling the driver... It might fix it.

Yep I am going to submit it, although a lot of the stock links are gone... And there is something about the lighting that doesn't quite gel... Never mind! I'm too lazy to fix it!

Behana In reply to Sindah [2012-05-13 13:59:22 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, that's interesting. I wonder if I still have the install disk. O.O It's been years since I've seen it lol. Ah well, I'll go look for it. I'm desperate.

Yay! I'd love to see another piece from you. I get to that stage. I take my time over a piece, go to submit it and the stock has been taken down. :S If you wanted an extra pair of eyes, I'd be willing to take a look at the lighting. I'd be glad to help.

Sindah In reply to Behana [2012-05-13 14:35:03 +0000 UTC]

If you can't find your disk the drivers are probably on the internet somewhere. If you look up the model number there is usually something on the manufacturers website.

I chucked the picture up, despite its flaws. Any suggestions would be well received. I think I fixed it up a bit, but there is still something that's bugging me. I decided to go on to the Cinderella piece and not dwell on the little details. I have a Red Riding Hood, a Frog Prince and a Rapunzel in mind too... Got that fairytale bug bad! (Too much "Once Upon a Time" and "Grimm" I suspect!

Behana In reply to Sindah [2012-05-13 16:37:56 +0000 UTC]

Ah, thanks for that! I will definitely look into fixing it.

Ah great, I will go and look at it now. I hardly ever think my pieces are perfect, I don't think you ever do really. I think you just accept things you don't like or can't fix in a piece. I am very excited about the other pictures you have in mind, they all sound great!

I LOVE Once Upong a Time. I haven't seen Grimm. I think I saw the adverts and decided to watch it but missed the first episode. Is it good?

Sindah In reply to Behana [2012-05-13 17:46:55 +0000 UTC]

Life without a tablet can be a tough thing, once you've gotten used to one! My techie boyfriend says you have to uninstall the old driver, restart your system then reinstall the clean driver. Hope it helps!

I guess we artists are always our own worst critics but it's easier to see the screw ups when you're the one who screwed them up in the first place! I think you get to a point where you have to stop or go nuts (or get so sick of the sight of something you just want rid of it... )

Grimm isn't bad, it's a much grittier, less magical thing. I can't actually decide which of them I prefer.

Behana In reply to Sindah [2012-05-13 18:53:33 +0000 UTC]

Haha, I think I should get myself a techie boyfriend. They must be so useful. Thanks I will give it a try and get back to you.

I KNOW! I get paranoid about something in my composition, show it to a friend and they completely ignore what I am worried about and pick out something different. This is good but then I have two things to fret over! Agreed, sometimes you have to stop. Also, I also think that I learn to love the mistakes (especially of my older pieces) because then I know that I created them rather than a superhuman.

Hmm, that sounds good. Question: have you seen Mirror Mirror?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Sindah In reply to Behana [2012-05-14 15:25:24 +0000 UTC]

They can be very useful. (Also very annoying when they get the chance! )

I get too paranoid to show works in progress much. I ask the techie at various stages but he usually says it looks great and then I think he's fibbing to spare my feelings and just end up more paranoid...

I've seen a trailer for Mirror Mirror... Same time as I saw the Snow White trailer though, looks OK but a little Disney compared to Snow... Kinda took last place on the "Must See" list. Brave looks awesome too and Prometheus if you like the Alien franchise...

Behana In reply to Sindah [2012-05-14 17:20:39 +0000 UTC]

Haha I bet.

Lol, that definitely happens to me too. I'm trying to find someone who tells me like it is. It's harder than it looks!

Mirror Mirror was good. I went to go and see it a few weeks ago. It was definitely more disney than The Hunstsman. However, it was like they were taking the micky out of disney. A lot of subtle adult jokes thrown in there lol. I really want to see Brave. I haven't seen the Alien franchise but Prometheus look amazing - if only for the gorgeous concept art and the fact Michael Fassbender is in it.

Sindah In reply to Behana [2012-05-15 09:49:50 +0000 UTC]

Well if you ever need an honest opinion on something, just ask! I'd be happy to help!

I'd love to be able to go see Mirror Mirror, but I'm worried my laptop is going to really have problems soon, plus I'm saving for a copy of CS6, so I'm limiting my movie visitations severely. It may kill me... I'm really hoping that the radio will have one of their premieres for Snow White...

Behana In reply to Sindah [2012-05-15 10:41:25 +0000 UTC]

Definitely, that would be great.

Hehe. Ach why is everything so expensive? They're on CS6 already? Lol, makes my CS2 look a bit lonely.

Sindah In reply to Behana [2012-05-15 11:44:43 +0000 UTC]

Just let me know!

CS6 is still in beta testing, but I got a free 60 day trial. Going from CS2 is quite a jump, but considering the cost of the full version of CS6, I suspect I'll be sticking with the CS2 (probably forever!) CS6 just looks so sexy though... So sad. It sucks being broke with so many pretty, shiny toys out there!

Behana In reply to Sindah [2012-05-15 16:01:55 +0000 UTC]

I will.

Ah really? I forget what version we're up to now. It seems like they bring out a new one every month :S. I know! I saved for so long to buy CS2 and that was when it was an old version lol. I dread to think what it costs now. Whatever it is I know I can't afford it. It looks cool? Ach, don't make it worse.

Sindah In reply to Behana [2012-05-17 14:52:03 +0000 UTC]

Sorry... But it does look very cool... [link] I'm impressed. I tried CS3 and hated it so much, it was really awkward but this is nice to use... The techie says the Student/teacher version is cheaper, so we'll see. I guess they upgrade it more often now than they used to, it does all manner of 3D stuff now, which I have no clue about!

Behana In reply to Sindah [2012-05-20 12:37:58 +0000 UTC]

Ah! That looks like one super hot programme. Even the fact that it's grey makes it epic. Me = super jealous. 3D stuff! Damn.

Sindah In reply to Behana [2012-05-21 12:20:48 +0000 UTC]

Yep... I'm down to 2 days left on the trial and I shall miss it. The grey is lovely to work on, nice and calming somehow. I'm not 100% sure what 3D stuff it does but there is something in the blurb on the start up page that I haven't bothered to read properly...

Behana In reply to Sindah [2012-05-21 12:26:00 +0000 UTC]

Ah that must be awful. I'm kind of glad I haven't tried it so that I don't know what I'm missing! Yeah gray is nice to work on, it's a neutral colour but not harsh like back or white. Haha, I never do any 3D stuff anyway.

Sindah In reply to Behana [2012-05-21 12:45:51 +0000 UTC]

I haven't given out the link for that precise reason... I would feel just shitty teasing everyone with 60 days and then a huge bill to keep it after that! I might be able to get another 60 days out of it when I upgrade my laptop though... I guess that won't be any time soon though...

Saw Mirror Mirror the other day... Liked it up until the Bollywood style song and dance routine. The dwarves were fantastic though!

Behana In reply to Sindah [2012-07-10 16:34:39 +0000 UTC]

I know! That was just a teensy bit out of context. The bit where the dwarves are talking to the Prince just after they've capture them is my favourite. It is amazing.

I suppose they couldn't really have a singers daughter and an Indian director and not have something weird and Bollywood...
