2. [Cassave] Thumbelina

<img100*0:http://elftown.eu/img/photo/82481_1119124300.jpg>

"You poor little creature," said the field-mouse, who was
really a good old field-mouse, "come into my warm room and
dine with me."

3.[Zab] ''The Ugly Duckling'' *''"Kill me," said the poor bird; and he bent his head down
to the surface of the water, and awaited death.
But what did he see in the clear stream below? His own
image; no longer a dark, gray bird, ugly and disagreeable to
look at, but a graceful and beautiful swan.''*

4. [Thistlewood] "Snow-White and Red-Rose"
Then she cried, Snow-White, Rose-Red, come out, the bear will
do you no harm, he means well. So they both came out, and
by-and-by the lamb and dove came nearer, and were not afraid
of him.

5. [Mitsune] Snow-White and Rose-Red a la Mucha, Just the lineart. I'll see if I can get the coloured version up later tonight.

<img100*0:stuff/SnowWhite_RedRose_Lineart.jpg>

There was once a poor widow who lived in a lonely cottage. In front of the cottage was a garden wherein stood two rose-trees, one of which bore white and the other red roses. She had two children who were like the two rose-trees, and one was called snow-white, and the other rose-red.

6. [LvSha] "The Nightingale"

<img100*0:http://elftown.eu/img/drawing/106271_1122126068.jpg>

Three and thirty times did it sing the same tunes without
being tired; the people would gladly have heard it again, but
the emperor said the living nightingale ought to sing
something. But where was she?

7. [LvSha] "Hanse and Grethel"

<img100*0:stuff/F%3Ahansel-and-grethel.jpg>

"I will eat a bit of the roof, and you Gretel, can eat some
of the window, it will taste sweet."

8. [Gypsi] "Our Lady's Child"

<img100*0:http://elftown.eu/img/drawing/108401_1122419037.jpg>

"When he had at last forced his way through, he saw a
wonderfully beautiful maiden sitting under the tree, and she sat there and was entirely covered with her golden hair down to her very feet."

9. [Lothuriel] - "The Red Shoes"

"...had grown fast to her feet. She danced and was obliged to go on dancing over field and meadow, in rain and sunshine, by night and by day—but by night it was most horrible. She danced out into the open churchyard; but the dead there did not dance. They had something better to do than that."

10. [Yncke] - The final scene from "Rumpelstiltskin".

<img100*0:http://elftown.eu/img/photo/17985_1125332552.jpg>

"... and then in rage he pulled at his left leg so hard with both hands that he tore himself in two."

2005-06-17 [Cassave]: Disney style is an academic, universal style. They'll teach you that style in animation class. Do you mean: don't copy existing Disney adaptation of the fairy tales?

2005-06-17 [irulan]: Are photo manipulations permitted?

2005-06-17 [Galatea]: This sounds like a good one...I definitely think I might have a go.

2005-06-17 [Daisy le Fleur]: [Cassave] yeah I mean don't enter a Cinderella pic that looks like the same one from Disney or the little mermaid story..which is not the same thing as the one that H.C. Anderson Wrote...ya know? I dont want copies of Disney cartoons..

2005-06-17 [Daisy le Fleur]: [irulan] I think that would be ok...just try to stick with the theme of a scene from the story...whichever you decide =)

2005-06-17 [Daisy le Fleur]: [Galatea] I hope you do enter! *Gets excited*

2005-06-17 [Daisy le Fleur]: I want everyone to have fun with this..make the characters from the stories all your own style..just depict a scene from the tale without getting too far off base with it...Ya know? LIke Sleeping Beauty doesn't need to be a vampire or what not...and Hansel and Gretel don't fly off to space...*sounds crazy I know..but people really can stretch things, LOL*

2005-06-17 [Daisy le Fleur]: Yay! An entry!! =) Who knows how to make the entries into thumbnails..so we can maximize the space in here.

2005-06-17 [Cassave]: You could add links to websites with the collected stories of Andersen and Grimm. That way entrants can specify which scene from which story they're illustrating.

2005-06-17 [Daisy le Fleur]: Good idea! I thought about doing that...I'll get those links now..

2005-06-17 [Cassave]: Here's one I use regularly <URL:http://www.andersen.sdu.dk/vaerk/hersholt/index_e.html>

2005-06-17 [Daisy le Fleur]: =) THanks!

2005-06-17 [Galatea]: I will definitely have to read up on the stories again, my memory is a little iffy on some of them.

2005-06-17 [Daisy le Fleur]: LOL, I just finished The Red Shoes...*quite disturbing actually* Some of the more morbid fans would like it.

2005-06-17 [Deadlock jester]: UPLOAD IT!!!*excited*

2005-06-17 [Daisy le Fleur]: No...I mean I just finished reading the story..to be sure I can properly judge a picture from it....

2005-06-17 [Deadlock jester]: oh...ok...

2005-06-17 [Daisy le Fleur]: LOL...sorry Gareth..didn't mean to get you excited over nothing! YOu should read it..you may like it enough to do a picture!

2005-06-17 [Deadlock jester]: perhaps I shall

2005-06-17 [IzzyKSK]: This contest is a great idear^_^ what a lovely thought, we can go back to our youth, and make fairytales to come alive again. i remember my parent reading me all kinds of fairytales, and my father making his own for me ^^

2005-06-17 [Daisy le Fleur]: I used to love Hansel and Gretel...I wanted to eat the house the old lady lived in...

2005-06-17 [IzzyKSK]: Me to XD I wanted to live there, since the witch was dead aftert he story...

2005-06-17 [Lothuriel]: The Red Shoes *cringes as her eye suddenly develops anervous twitch*

2005-06-17 [Daisy le Fleur]: LOL...scary!
