I wanted to post these amazing (to me and hopefully to some of you!) artworks that you could only buy in the Disney Parks but that I got. I'll just post them in one big image since the only good images I could find of the two first ones were small. Let me know if the image is too big,
Sotiris. The first two are pictures from Don Williams. The first is called "Until Midnight" and is the transformation of Cinderella's look with images ripped right from the film! Every color is correct except the Fairy Godmother's blouse and the leaves and vines on the bottom of the coach's body. So that means white and silver Cinderella dress! A friend pointed out to me there are only two horses which is incorrect for that scene, so that's a small detriemnt to the painting but whatever. I bought a very large framed giclée of that one, as it was the first Cinderella art I really wanted framed, and that I had also encountered in front of me, since I found it in Disney World in 2017. The second is called "At the Ball" with an image based on a clipart which in turn was based on the very first shot of Cinderella and the Prince dancing, but with a gorgeous background taken right from when Cinderella leaves the Prince after the clock starts to chime. I got a print of that from ebay. The final image is by Daniel Killen, called "Preparing for a Ball", and is my absolute favorite, depicting Cinderella's transformation, with poses based on what I swear I have at least seen already for Cinderella and the Fairy Godmother, but for the life of me cannot recount for the rest of the characters or the coach. The backrounds are smartly and creatively taken from the view of the castle from Cinderella's cheateau tower window when Cinderella says, "Oh well, what's a royal ball?" and from the garden when Cinderella collapses onto the bench under the willow tree in tears. I love everything about the picture except the shading of the characters is not perfect and not given in eveness to all characters, the magic dust could look a little more like how it did in the film, and I don't like that Cinderella's pose was taken from a clipart I think I remember, but if her pose is actually re-drawn enough that it's not exact, then it only slightly bothers me, as it would be a little boring if it was a repeat of the same "arms and head up in the air" pose all the time, like in "Until Midnight". I just wish it was a brand new pose inspired by the original one. But the colors are perfectly correct (well except the wheel of the coach, it should be whiter), so yay silver and white dress, and it just looks so awesome and freaking beautiful I overlook the re-used poses and make it work for me when I view it's majesty. I own a print of it, but I really wish I had the first two in print with this last one in a giclée.
Well enough of me going on and on, here are the artworks in the order I wrote:
Hey, can anyone post the clipart I believe Cinderella's pose in the last one, "Preparing for a Ball", came from? I don't even know if I have it on my computer but if anyone can find it and post it, I would very much appreciate it! She was blonde-haired and blue-dressed in the original clipart.
