Beauty... Sleeping beauty.
Added 2024-11-19 18:59:58 +0000 UTCI like making new moments like this, but I also want to remake the old ones.
Question: Should I keep Esmeralda? She's not really a fairy tale character, but more of a character from a novel and Disney.
I have two options:
1. Replace Esme with another fairy tale character.
2. Leave it as is, just change the design a little.
And write how you like this strip, I don't know yet if it's worth all my efforts. Maybe everyone has burned out and it's not that interesting anymore.

Its so cool! 🥰

2024-12-17 17:23:28 +0000 UTCI would be cool to have Esme back ! But yeah maybe re-think his design and how he is brought up in the story. Disney had this "exotic gypsy thing", pretty stereotyped, it could be nice to see something different if you want to go on with this

2024-11-25 13:42:51 +0000 UTCPlease keep Esme! Maybe try to base him off the original story too?

2024-11-24 23:05:05 +0000 UTCI'm so happy to see you redrawing Fairybend! That was how I first discovered your art! Definitely keep Esme, a redesign would be really cool!

2024-11-20 03:11:15 +0000 UTCI'd definitely say keep Esme. But on a different note, I always love the compositioning in these comic panels. Not to mention the stellar art itself!
QueenHearts
2024-11-20 02:57:01 +0000 UTCI say keep 'em both. The comic and Esme.

2024-11-20 02:24:21 +0000 UTCPlease keep esme. I loved the dynamic he has with the other characters. Though whatever decision you make I'll respect.

2024-11-19 22:45:52 +0000 UTCI think you should keep Esme, I totally understand your point but they’ve been around for such a long time already, I’ve grown an attachment and would hate to see them go. Plussss I’m really looking forward to seeing the change you’ll make on them. And with the comic strip? I honestly love it, it doesn’t even have to be anything big like “Rest In Piece” it feels nice to just be able to read something silly and lovely like the fairy bend stuff

2024-11-19 21:58:02 +0000 UTCI LOVE how cute this is, including your awesome femboy take on that iconic watercolour background shot of Sleeping Beauty! I love cute character moments like this. ^.^ I'm undecided on Esmeralda, as you do make a good point about her being a novel character, more than fairy tale. I have always enjoyed your OC and fairy tale characters, though! I LOVE this strip. I think it's totally worth the efforts. Even if you just do a few small pages here and there, whenever inspiration strikes, I've loved what I've seen so far, and I'd love to see more. 💖

2024-11-19 21:39:32 +0000 UTCPlease keep Esme. (also, probs just me, but the loose strands from Snows hair look a lil weird)
Julian Fratzscher
2024-11-19 21:18:26 +0000 UTCPlease please please keep Esme and just change the design up a little. They don’t need to be a constant character, maybe just someone who they run into from time to time. Esme is just so beautiful.

2024-11-19 21:14:36 +0000 UTCI love this so much! And I love Esme, but introducing a fairy tale character like donkeyskin would be kinda cool. If it is a choice between the two though, I vote keep Esme. Esme and Ariel are so sweet together 🥰

2024-11-19 20:31:53 +0000 UTC.......You know ACTUALLY Book Esme might be interesting to use for the basis of a FairyBend Esme? I know Disney Esmeralda and Book Esmeralda are completely different characters. But a Book Esme that survives the events of 'Notre-Dame de Paris' (Or just use the Adaptation La Esmeralda where they survive.) might be super interesting? There's a lot of interesting character traits to pull from to make an interesting character and story. Someone struggling between cynicism and innate good natured naivete after everything that happened to them would be really interesting in a story. And to be perfectly honest a lot of other characters you would probably be pulling from like Ariel from the little mermaid also originated from a novel. In a way you could consider them to be more 'modern fairytales'.

2024-11-19 19:59:25 +0000 UTCFairybend has always been my very favorite of your projects and I'm so happy and excited you're revisiting it in any capacity! I really like Esme, and I think incorporating characters from other kinda of stories and maybe even depicting some of the disney princesses in forms a bit closer to storybook versions is very cool. I've always preferred Brothers Grimm style darker fairy tales to the disney versions, but that doesn't have to be the only source to draw from!

2024-11-19 19:58:17 +0000 UTCI didn't say you would have good cheese soup with only two ingredients. XD
SummerHeart
2024-11-19 19:40:07 +0000 UTCI personally LOVE Esme. The Hunchback of Notradame is technically a novel, too! Maybe not a fairytale like the Grimms Bros, but Esme can be taken from there, too!

2024-11-19 19:23:02 +0000 UTCbut I'm still sure that it requires more than two ingredients X)))

2024-11-19 19:19:15 +0000 UTCIf I ever say I'm getting tired of Fairybend, someone needs to smack me cause I've clearly gone mad. It's adorable, and I love your visions of the classic characters!
Bitter pill
2024-11-19 19:18:43 +0000 UTCMore seriously on the topic of Esme. That's entirely up to you and how you want to go forward with these. I personally love Esme but if your new stories are leaning more towards fairy tales including him wouldn't make a lot of sense. You could try and look around for a Fairytale character that closely matches to him and his personality and use that? Other options include making Esme into someone not bound by Fairytales as a kind of narrative 'straight man'/original character of your own design? A kind of storyteller/audience surrogate? Or explain him away as what would otherwise be a side character who's fallen into the main cast?
SummerHeart
2024-11-19 19:11:24 +0000 UTCI'll never be tired of these characters! I think it would be fun to make the story all full Fairy tales as well! Finding another fairy tale character would be fun!

Eren
2024-11-19 19:08:21 +0000 UTCNo burn out for me, I'm really happy to see them again! 💕 As for Esme, I vote for the first option! Let's make a full fairy tales story ✨ (but I love you Esme, you're gorgeous)
Rakiah
2024-11-19 19:05:44 +0000 UTCI adore your Esme! Keep them with a design twist please, love these strips too, so fun seeing more of them
Heather Summers
2024-11-19 19:05:19 +0000 UTCKeep Esme ! And I love fairybend, I'm not tired of seeing this comic, wether it's the original or the rewrite ❤️ But if you feel like you don't want to keep Esme or draw that kind of story anymore, please don't feel pressured to do so. Do what you want and what you like. We're here to support your art, no matter what 😊

2024-11-19 19:05:03 +0000 UTCI love Esme, let him stay! Also would love to see him in a new design of yours 🙈💕

2024-11-19 19:05:00 +0000 UTCI love seeing this different version, and Snow's little commanding face is everything. I like Esme, personally. I'd be curious to see how you would change his design.
