Description
It's been a while since I last did a personal piece, so when the chance came around in the form of the Bobby Chiu Fairy Tale Challenge, I wanted to really take some time for it. And I'm glad I did!Sleeping Beauty is an incredibly inspiring tale I think, and I hope some of that made it into the painting.
Done over 8 or 9 days, all in Photoshop, and as usual without references. But boy, I'm glad I got a new computer. The final file is 800MB, with I don't know how many layers, certainly more than a hundred, at 6400*2700 px.
Here's the steps!

I was browsing around, just killing time, and I HAD to let you know I logged in JUST to let you know that this literally took my breath away! I whispered "oh wow," and could just stare! Β How this hasn't earned a DD is beyond me!Β

I saw this pic awhile back and came across it again today.
I should have said it earlier but this is a fantastic piece of work and was part of my inspiration for a fanfic I started writing last year.
Beautiful job!

Wow so realistic... very interesting setting! I really like how you did Sleeping Beauty and the prince... sort of eerie. Some big plant monster is going to come out or something the closer he approaches. Lol

Either I watch too many horror movies and listen to too much Creepy pasta, But I feel like just by looking at the girl I feel that it's a trap.

When Hollywood inevitable makes a gritty reboot of Sleeping Beauty hopefully it will be like this.

Don't get me wrong, The artistry is amazing, and it is certainly reminiscent of the tale, but the first thing I thought when I saw this was; "I really hope those roses are thornless..."

And here I thought this was photoshopped or maybe done in a 3D program... Last thing I expected was a painting! Wow!

Ridiculously photo-realistic. I'll give this a ten out of ten just for the fact that you managed to fool me. Well done!

I still don't know how you did this but... I'm going to let my mind not freak out by saying 'picture perfect' because it sure fooled me now and every time I'll see it on not being a 'picture' with a camera.
