The Queen (as with all the Villains) is very collectible. This pencil is unique in that the Queen is facing away from the viewer and her face can be seen reflecting in the mirror. I don't think I've seen many images where a few from behind strengthens the characterization.
The detail in his pencil is amazing. Great attention to detail. As with the image of the Witch (next posting), we used a cut-out to focus attention on the character and draw the viewer into the image. We thought the use of a curved cut-out picked up the line of the held-out cape.
