This fantasy digital art series features castles and queens as well as fairy tale characters. The artist behind these enchanting digital shots goes by the name VarLa and seems to focus on mythical depictions that channel children’s fairy tales.
These fairy tale-based photos range from hill top castles to vampire queens. One of these shots looks like it features a Gothic blue haired version of Alice (as in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.) The shot shows Alice’s dark doppelganger smirking over a fallen mannequin while collecting coins. Another shot shows a beautiful princess in white reaching up for a glowing red delicious apple. Some of these fantastic photos even feature plant monsters and tigers.
These imaginative fairy tale depictions put a dark and different twist on classic story book characters.
