as for this its just another generic rose i started as a bday gift for a friend a month ago but everytime i try to give it to her i keep finding flaws n it and i wind up doing it over. but when i get around to doing the other part it'll look so dam goood, its supossed to be a Beauty and the Beast, concept, the art is in the background, if i can ever get around to doing it

I didn't wan't to let this thread die without any replies..

I"m unfamiliar with "Tales of Darkness"

but for the flower/Beauty and the beast .. you should make it nice to give to a friend : )
Someone I know in Illustration classes did the BATB rose.. and used the stem to create an illusion of two people about to kiss.. IT LOOKED BAD!! ... so don't do something like that

I say do the rose as simple and clean as possible.. and one or two peddles on the ground (to hint at it floating) that are withered and dead..
