Description

Made in ArtRage 4 using oil brush, palette knife and air brush tools; 8x10" 300ppi. For Reddit Gets Drawn Post link "The Crystal Princess" Once apon a time long ago there lived a princess who loved beautiful things, especially fine crystal. She gathered goblets, vases, chandeliers, and leaded windows, filling the palace with the sparkle of a thousand candles. But she cared for nothing and no one else, her heart was as hard as the crystal she loved. She frequently abused her servants and scorned her dirty subjects. The Queen Mother was ailing, soon the rule of the kingdom would be in the hands of the princess. The royal wizard watched her and knew the kingdom would be in peril if she could not learn to rule with both justice and mercy. So, one night he came to her chamber and cast a powerful spell that whatever her hand touched (apart from herself) would become fine crystal, beautiful, but immutable. At first she marveled at this new gift, creating sparkling silverware, and jeweled gardens. But inevitably her temper flared at her servants, striking with the back of her hand she turned them into silent sculptures. In panic she ran to her mother's chamber, and unthinking threw herself on her bed. Too late she realized what she had done, and with her heart broken into a thousand shards she turned away from the Queen's crystalline casket. The princess gained a contrite heart, putting gloves on to protect others she learned compassion and to value even her lowliest subjects by serving them. When the wizard saw she had gained this wisdom he removed the spell and thus she learned the value of mercy and forgiveness.
