Shelly Page Brief: Beauty and the Beast ABANDONED

So I settled on a design of Belle that I like and began painting the Final design.  However, I became increasing uninterested in the design.  It felt as though all I had achieved was create a contemporary version of the famous gold dress Belle wore in the Disney film.

I hadn't created a 'new' take on the character.  Merely updated her costume.  If I was bored painting her, then I imagine others would be bored looking at her.

Belle wasn't working for me anymore, so I've abandoned 'Beauty and the Beast' and decided to choose a new character from the list.  Below is some of the painting development of Belle.
