Belle, a rose with thorns🌹⚔️

Inspired by one of my favorite moments in The Little Crooked Tale, when Belle trains in fencing with Adam — and by her early illustrations, where she first appears wielding her rose-blade.

A wonderful story with beautiful illustrations.

#Throwbackthursday: Two years ago, this little beauty hit the bookshelves. It still remains one of my favorite #bookcovers by @nathaliasuellen. I’m so happy each time I see it sitting in my office; it always starts me reminiscing on the story inside. The #oldworld #fairytale narrative is one of my favorite aspects of this particular tale, secondary only to the rich array of complex characters and magical creatures who still own pieces of my heart. If you're in the mood for a wholly unique #gothicfairytale with elements of #SleepingBeauty, #ThePrincessandthePea, #Cinderella, #TheLittleMermaid, and more, give this one a try! 👑 Trade Review Quotes: 🦄 "An emotionally complex tale of fate, inner beauty, and found family." ~Publishers Weekly 🏰 "Vibrantly detailed writing and brilliantly theatrical subplots." ~Kirkus Reviews 👑 "A sensuous reimagining." ~School Library Journal 🦄 #gothic #coverart #epicreads #yalit #prettybooks #bookstagram #books #bookaddict #coverlove #aghoward #aghowardbooks #Stain #yafantasy #fantasy #beautifulbooks #thursdaybooks #amuletbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CPYv-eBrZyX/?utm_medium=tumblr

Finished Commission: Belle | A Mind Beyond the Ordinary 🌹✨

A beautiful commission that I truly enjoyed working on from beginning to end. I loved challenging myself by creating the background and exploring new details, and designing the outfit was especially fun and inspiring. This piece allowed me to push my skills further and experiment creatively, making it one of my favorite works I created this year
