Many famous fairy tales, whether we like to admit it or not, always contained at least a veiled reference to sexuality. And, of course, there have been many artists over the years that have made those alluded to elements more prominent, such as the work of
Djohan Hanapi. Collectively referring to his work as "Everlusting Tales", Djohan's illustrations are reminiscent of the Disney-fied renditions of these female characters while still remaining wholly different, and I don't just mean the fact that they rarely have clothes on. Or are found in various sexually awakened and aware 'positions'. The very style of the linework is completely his own. And while he's been creating these for years, it seems like the time is finally here for him to get a sculptural rendition of one of his designs…
Based on his "The Sultry Snow White" character,
Mighty Jaxx have revealed the above as "a quick look at what to expect for the upcoming release", implying that this illustration will be the basis for a designer toy rendition. And while her nudity is apparent, those looking closely might notice that the infamous poisoned apple from the story is in the picture, though being consumed in a way that I'm fairly certain the Brother Grimm wouldn't have written.
