Lots and Lots and Lots...

Hey, guess what?

Don't worry--I'll wait while you shout a few guesses at your screen.

Bunches of new wallpapers on the way.  Howzabout we start with...oh, I don't know...six new ones!  And four debuts here too...

You'll notice I did a little bit of redesign compared to the older ones.  I changed the border to something a bit more subtle, plus I added autographs to all (or, at the very least, most) of them.

We start, as always, with my personal favorite, everyone's favorite reader, Belle®:

And we've seen lovely mer-gal Ariel® here before--how 'bout a wedding picture? 

Unfortunately I had to shrink the picture of Ariel® in the wallpaper above.  Why?  Well, those sleeves are so damn big, of course!

Let's move on to our debuts.  Speaking of giant puffed sleeves...first up is the first up: Snow White®:

Anyone want a little Cinderella®?

Here's lovely Briar Rose® herself:

And, wrapping things up for this update, Princess Jasmine®:

As I write this, I've got about five or six images for each one of these characters in the wings (many more for Belle®, as you might expect).  I'll let them out every so often, so do keep checking back, and feel free to leave a comment or two before you leave...I'd like to hear if you like these or not.

Something a little new today...

I found an image online somewhere of Belle's® autograph, and it occurred to me that the cast members who portray the various characters of Disney® are trained to sign autographs the same way, so you don't end up with a wildly different autograph from one day to the next.

So, I found some high resolution images, did some tracing in Illustrator, and the result is this:

It's funny--I guess I don't quite see Belle® riding side-saddle.  As I said before, I'm no horse expert, and even if I were, I don't wear a lot of petticoats and big dresses, so maybe it would be more out of necessity than anything else, but it just looks weird. 

Anyway, here's the first non-Belle® image I'm posting:

I've got more Ariel® in the pipe, and one or two of the other Disney® Princesses® (has Disney® gotten the copyright on the word Princess® yet?) are also coming...

I guess I don't quite get this one...I like the dress and all, but I don't get the maid's cap Belle® is apparently wearing.

Seriously, huh?

I'm a sucker for this first one; I think Belle® is just super-cute in this picture.  So much so that I tried to crop the Prince® (does Disney® have a copyright on the word Prince®?) out of it.  Obviously I can't get everything of him out, but I think it still works:

And here's another one, this time of the two having tea:

You know, I'm not an expert horse person at all.  Not even close.  How many times have I ever ridden a horse?  Once.

Wait a sec--I did some recounting.  Zero.  But I pet one once.  (Petted?)

But I know--beyond any doubt whatsoever--that if I ever had a horse, and needed to feed him, I'd put on my best ballgown, complete with the biggest petticoat I could find, add some elbow-length gloves, get my hair all done up, then head out with an apple:

I dunno, I guess the experts at Disney® felt that Belle® couldn't be seen feeding Philippe in that ugly blue number from earlier in the movie...

I do have to admit I kinda like how this picture turned out; it's just kind of a silly setup...

(p.s. Belle®, before you go have dinner and go dancing with Beast® tonight, do everyone a favor and see if he's got another pair of gloves somewhere for you.)
