#magic mirror on the wall

The finished illustration for Snow White

Can you spot the super subtle Mirror Mirror inspiration? I kind of love that movie and how much it committed to stylized fun costuming. And long time fans of my redesigns will spot a fashion reference to a previous redesign... really sneaky with all these details. ( > w -)

what exactly IS the spirit in the mirror? is it a ghost? did you trap it? if so how?

"The slave in the Magic Mirror is, in fact, the soul of my father, cursed for all eternity to obey my commands and speak nothing but the truth. It was indeed my magic that imprisoned him within the glass many years ago, and perhaps, if you let me see thy face, I may be persuaded to show you the spell."

For uniformity's sake :

Each work count as 1,

e.g. Sandman counts as one because different editions mean a different number of volumes and Danny who's read the 3 Omnibus Volumes has read just as much as Nawel who's read 14 volumes.

Yes it means that someone who's read one issue will vote for the same thing that someone who's read the whole thing. No system is perfect.

If you've read one work (let's say The Graveyard Book) and its adaptation (let's say P. Craig Russell's), it counts as two, though (and not 3 even if the graphic novel is divided in two parts)

Of course audiobooks count.

RWBY: Whitley’s Allusion

Next up is our favorite little shit. Whitley has had some debate on what his allusion is. I believe this one makes a lot of sense.

Whitley is the Magic Mirror from Snow White.

Before we start, I get that it may seem weird because the Magic Mirror isn’t exactly a character. But I feel like it’s prominent enough to be used as a reference figure. Think about Adam and how he is not only based on the Beast, but also the Wilting Rose.

The Magic Mirror was a mystical gadget owned by the Evil Stepmother to show her what she loved most; herself. As a mirror it reflected its holder however they are. The Evil Stepmother asked it to show the prettiest of them all in holes the mirror would again reflect her.

Basically, the Evil Stepmother used the artifact to tell her what she wants to hear. Tying this to RWBY storyline, this can easily be compared to Whitley and his relationship with his father. Jacques Schnee, though mainly alluding to Jack Frost, actually shares a double allusion with the Evil Stepmother (this time being the Evil Stepfather). He carries Whitley around to display his young self and mends him to be just like him. Whitley has been sucking up to Jaques for years. It’s why he’s his favorite child, because he’s the only one that he has control over.

Whitley is almost literally a reflection of Jacques (a “spitting image” as said by Watts). He even has a picture of Whitley on his desk, no one else. Another cool coincidence is that the term “whit” means a small part of something, which can relate to how Whitley is basically a younger and smaller version of Jacques.

But as the story goes, the Magic Mirror ends up reflecting the beauty of Snow White instead, being more fair than the Stepmother ever was. In the recent Volume, Whitley has become acquainted with the heroes and has been very helpful during the second half. Hiring Klein to nurse Nora, calling for the shipping transports to help the evacuation, and even killing a Grimm. His contributions make him seem less like his father, and more like his sister, Snow White.

This can be seen as the Magic Mirror finally rejecting its owner’s control and reflecting someone else more deserving. Whitley is the only son Jaq got control over, but since he got arrested, Whitley saw him for what he really was, a prick. From there he decided to get his act together and help his sister during the war.

As said from my Ilia post, not every character has a concrete allusion that you can easily put 2 & 2 together. Just see what the character is about & really dive into their story and the people they’re around. Not everyone can just slap on a red hoodie & call it a day.

Snow White process video!

I like this illustration... but I feel like I could push it further... so I might revisit it on a file that can take more layers. It's procreate's one flaw, the larger the canvas the fewer the layers.

Altered Lineage and Human Zoo

Altered Lineage

Special skills and characteristics passed down from generation to generation as a way of life for those who are “Users". The final fruits of the bloodline of each family member, who have honed and refined their killing skills over a mind-boggling period of time. Therefore, it is said that the longer a family’s history, the more powerful it is; however there are also those who, as if by mutation, have mastered the art in just one generation.

Human Zoo

A facility for potential heirs of the Gero family to learn about human life. The residents know that "someone" is watching them through the magic mirror, but they have accepted making a contract to spend their daily lives in exchange for an obscene amount of money. Furthermore, they are not aware that the ones monitoring are the Gero family of 'users', in particular. It is strictly forbidden to divulge even the smallest details in this matter.

As ‘user’’s, the Gero family lives a life that is far from the norm, and in order to carry out appropriate “work'' for their targets, it is believed that a live atmosphere is important. In other words, something which cannot be felt from surveillance footage. Therefore, the Gero family has poured vast sums of money into this operation since the inception of the Poison-users hundreds of years ago, and has run similar facilities in each respective era.

Evie considered for a moment before taking a breath. “Well, a long time ago before I was born, my mother used apples to poison a poor, innocent, girl. I grew up thinking acting that way was alright and I realize that it isn’t. It’s just awful.” She sighed, looking down. “Plus, you never know when somebody poisons an apple of their own.” Evie didn’t want to risk anything, to take chances on things even though she’d seen him pick the apple. “Anyway, I’ll pass on that. If somebody that looks evil ever offers you an apple, never accept.” Not that he’d looked evil, Evie just avoided the fruit altogether.

11 Hidden Door Design Ideas To Optimize Storage In Your Home

The phrase ‘interior design trends‘ initially seems contradictory. After all, furniture, art, and wall coverings are too heavy and expensive to be updated frequently. Thus, the decor doesn’t usually follow seasonal trends or pass-through fads. As the phrase goes, you must learn to live with the space you design. But you can integrate some exciting things, like hidden doors. These hidden door…
