Fairy Tales - Photoshop Contest [17 entries]

Fairy Tales are like a universal language, everyone remembers Snow White taking a bit out of an apple, or cinderella putting on a glass slipper. Your task is to re-create these magical moments using any software you like. Make sure to mention from which fairy tale it's a part of, or try to make the viewers guess! Good luck!

RayTedwell: Sounds like a contest tailor made for Waz!

I think we'll see some good entries here. (2 years and 168 days ago)

RickLaMesa: here's a list..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fairy_tales (2 years and 165 days ago)

yahidithmonnalisa: um, as much as i like the entries, alice in wonderland is not a fairy tale, is a novel, written by Lewis Carroll... fairy tales are more like folk tales. but maybe i'm being a neatpicker (2 years and 165 days ago)

Keiley22: i thought a fairytale was something that someone made up... something that honestly could not come true and what better example than Alice in Wonderland... one of my favs. I have a cinderella book... over 400 pages, that is considered a fairtale. (2 years and 165 days ago)

kyricom: So far 75% of the entries are based on Alice in Wonderland - a novel with a lot of drug allusions written by the drug induced mind of Lewis Carroll. It would NOT generally be considered a fairy tale. Fairy tales, in the context of western culture are typically parables which include local myth and legend with fantastical creatures (witches, giants etc.) that often teach a lesson (e.g. hansel and Gretal - don't wander off into the woods, Cinderella - there's hope for a happy ending for all you lower class hard workers). (2 years and 164 days ago)

yahidithmonnalisa: you explained it better, kyricom, thanks! (2 years and 164 days ago)

annabat: Though techincally Alice in wonderland is not a traditional fairy tale, and more of fantasy/satire. A Lot of elements that make a fairy tale are present. Much of the imagery used by Carroll is steeped in fokelore. I think the alice entries should stay. (2 years and 164 days ago)

yahidithmonnalisa: maybe i am being a purist, but a fairytale is the equivalent of the greeks "deux ex machina" where my magic or a power from above comes to rescue, or there is some sort of curse that needs to be broken, or something along those lines. novels and fables are not fairytales. i think the contest should be then, childrens stories, so anything would be a go. (2 years and 163 days ago)

yahidithmonnalisa: edit - not my magic! by magic....i don't have any powers, yet. (2 years and 163 days ago)

Drivenslush: shhhhhh yahidthmonnalisa... you were right the frist time.. I've seen your work... YOU DO HAVE MAGICAL POWERS... giggle snort (2 years and 162 days ago)

jawshoewhah: Other cultures seem to have other fairy tales. Although Kyricom, ahidithmonnalisa (that's a username I had to copy/paste) make a good point, other cultures have other fairytales that may not be well known. Is it fair to say it's not a fairytale that qualifies? I think as long as it is a work of fiction and and obvious fairy tale, even by description then it qualifies. Just my 2 cents.

annabat says:

Such great light and mood! The caterpillar and mushrooms are just great, but Alice is lacking for me, there is a great sense of personality to the whole thing, and then your alice character even though having the same light qualities does not seem to be at all home in it. The hair is somewhat stiff with no flow, and I get distracted from the fantasy in wondering how the bomber jacket makes sense. If you either removed alice, or worked on her a little more this would be one of my favorite things I have seen in a while. Reply »
