Sleeping Beauty resting in an ocean of stillness.

This piece was painted entirely in Photoshop over the course of many many months, off and on. I finished it partly thanks to a friend named Grant, who decided to send me an extra Intuos that he had....so thank you Grant! It means a lot!!

I hope you enjoy this image. The Sleeping Beauty that Disney did back in the 50s was always a favorite of mine. I suppose, a part from the original reference, the face that I painted was a bit influenced by that version - when I was little I wanted to look like her
