Description "Hurry, hurry, here's your chance
See the myst'ry and romance...
Come one, come all
See the finest girl in France
Make an entrance to entrance
Dance la Esmeralda... Dance!"

(c) Disney
From The Hunchback of Notre-Dame's Topsy Turvy

----------------

And here's the final product. Can't believe I've finished it... OTL
This is my entry for the #Disney-club 's contest. ( [link] )

This is my pseudo-semi-realistic version of Esmeralda, dancing on Topsy Turvy.
I wanted to do a more intense and 'sexy' version of the scene. I love how she moves in the movie, and I wanted to show her fluid and powerful movement in the painting.

I'm still a n00b at watercolor, and I'm not 100% satisfied, but I tried my best!

----------------

Done in watercolor and china ink. Scanner kinda killed the color, as always. Haha!

Esmeralda, Topsy Turvy (c) Disney

She looks more Asian than Romanian here but she's still gorgeous either way.

Incredible job on this one! I am one of your prizes for getting fourth place (Bravo! Congrats!!) and I am to do both a general drawing for you (who is your favorite princess?) and an original character. So tell me about a character you have imagined. I need details and everything . Great job!

LaJoyLi [2010-03-22 23:42:10 +0000 UTC]

absolutely beautiful composition! Although, I must say that I feel like her hair is a little more whispy and fine than it should be and her jaw is typically a little bigger in the Disney flick. OF course, this could be your interpretation of Esmerelda. In that case, my apologies.

Momo-heika In reply to LaJoyLi [2010-03-23 00:24:46 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much for the critic!
It's true--her hair should be more frizzy and curly, thank you for pointing that!

You're welcome!

So far it looks like my submission isn't getting much attention in the Contest, eheh. If I had been able to submit another one of my Deviations to the Contest, I would have, but it hasn't yet been seven days since I submitted "The Bells of Notre Dame", so I can't add anything to the Group's gallery yet (which then makes me wonder how people are able to submit more than one Deviation to the Group!).

Sorry, I kinda went on a tangent there . . .

I like the whole composition of this piece; the pose, the colors and the background.
One eye seems to curve upwards more then the other, not sure if that was purpose.

It was a little bit on purpose, because I wanted her face to be a tiny bit more on the right. Maybe I overdid it? XD
