This image is one that really helped me start to shift away from “replicating” my inspirations toward feeling confident in my own skills. I took a leap to include illustrative elements that weren’t part of the work of my idols. It was an important step for me.

It was done entirely in Procreate, without any generative nonsense.

My take on Snow White and the Seven Dwarves is now available as a greeting card in my Goimagine Shop. It’s a lavishly textured Art Nouveau piece with the appearance of depth.

This was made entirely in Procreate, without any artificial generative processes.
