Edwardian princesses

Morrigoon · 03-20-2012, 01:16 PM

Here are the sketches I mentioned in the Soooo.... thread. These are just preliminary concepts that I want to flesh out further and eventually paint (with the right princess faces and, you know... proportion)

I'm still mucking about with Aurora's as I'm not quite happy with it:

Cinderella's I want to own for myself. That's white lace over silver satin, with a cornflower blue sash (or maybe also silver, not sure). The lapels and cuffs are solid white:

And lastly (so far) Ariel. Ignore the stubby arms please. That's a green underdress with a contrast color in organza over it. I'm thinking either a misty green, white, or blue. Sash in purple.

I kinda like the stubby arms.

Seriously, very cool Goonie!

I love the detail in Aurora's dress. You are a very talented lady!

cirque: can't take total credit for that, I was interpreting an existing dress:

The idea would be to change the floral motif to roses, thorny vines, and if possible, mix in some spinning wheels. The white part would be changed to a very light blue and the purple part a deep rose color. I tried to change the sash shape but wasn't happy with it, so that's why it looks so messy. I picture a rhinestone-studded tiara in the same shape as Aurora's crown.

Then I decided to go in a new direction, hence the completely different dress... which needs work, if I'm honest.

Honestly, I think the whole Edwardian Disney things has gone to far. Disney himself is clearly post-Edwardian what with his WWI service in France and all - and if you want to go to his roots and his father's work on the Chicago World's Fair, then you're going back into solid Victorian territory.

Wrong "too", your argument is invalid :P

Very nice! Any chance they will become real dresses?
