Purple Moon Princess - How to Make Evil Fantasy Art

Evil fantasy art is very difficult to produce for apparel. It has to be cool and at the same time sadness should be consistent with a world both familiar and strange. The conflict of interest in the design allows a force with great power and malevolence to play with natural elements versus human elements.

In this case, I’ve combined a Celtic purple moon in ascendant phase from the lunar year with an innocent wicked fairy, who in many fairy tales such as in Perrault’s Sleeping Beauty, has been cursed by her godmother to remain in the moon on her fifteen’s birthday until she finds love.

To order, the high resolution print is in apparel in the Witches section as part of my collection of female villains. If I would write a fantasy book about it, I would call it ‘The Legend of the Purple Moon Princess’ to remind the reader that in every rare purple moon there is an innocent girl transformed into a wicked fairy waiting to find love.
