Patreon Pin Up WIP 2/6/17 (Patreon)

Hey guys I know I don't normally do work in progress shots for Monday pin ups, but the sad fact is I may be pulled away from my desk, and the internet entirely for that matter, all day tomorrow rather unexpectedly.  And I didn't want to leave you hanging if that's how it goes down, so I figured I'd post what I had now to play it safe, as I think a WIP is much better than a no-show. 

So as one of the rare Americans who would rather stare at a blank wall while being snapped with rubber bands than watch professional sports, the most exciting thing for me that happened this weekend media-wise were the movie trailers that were brought to my attention. My favorite one was the second trailer for Logan, which looks 100% awesome.  But I wasn't about to draw a 12 year-old X23 for the pin up so I clicked on Youtube's next recommended trailer; the new live-action Beauty and the Beast coming out next month.  And that reminded me of a Disney princess I've yet to draw so here we are! 

As a kid I recall liking the old animated version just fine.  But as an adult I think the story could be better if they make some tweaks to it.  For example I think it would be more interesting if they play up Belle being an outcast a bit more.  In the old one it was like "Look at Belle, all the other girls in the village are busy being child brides but she likes to read! Such an oddball!"  I'm paraphrasing but you get the idea.  Wouldn't she be more interesting if she was an outcast for a legit reason?  Also I think the ending would fit better thematically if the beast never regained his glamorous pretty-boy human form and they stayed together anyway.  (And that's not because I just want to open the door to all that bestiality fan art, get your mind out of the gutter good sir!)  Anyhow what do you think?  Looking forward to the new movie, don't give a damn either way? Let me know in the comments! Meanwhile I'll have this finished the minute I'm able. :)
