[@AlpayEfe]

I don't know if you can tell, but I'm kinda excited about this😂 ... grab yourself a print at AlpayEfe.com/store 🙌 Also, don't forget to leave a like and a comment for a chance to get one of these spectacular Prints! And let me know which Fairy Tales you would like to see me tackle in the future!!!

You make it look so easy! Love your work!

Hey umm this is random but have you picked the winners for the two pictures? I received a comment on my post that says I'm one of the winners and to text you on telegram but I'm not sure it's actually you because it has your profile picture but not the verification check like your picture usually has. Sorry for bothering you.

Hey, I got the same thing on the comment I left but when I answer to the link it does not bring me to telegram. Sorry to bother you as well!

I love the whole concept of re-imagining fairy tale characters. I don't think I've ever seen it done this well.

[@MoondanceArtDesign]

I am an an artist, cat lover, and caregiver to all the neighborhood critters. Wow! Fantastic art work! I love your rendition of puss n boots. Keep inspiring us to tap into our creative side and explore the unknown until it materializes on canvas or any other substrate. I have a feral colony of 15 kittys I care for and we say well done! I am known for my angel paintings and I must do one with a kitty next! Bravo! ❤

[@ashleyjones151]

You have no idea how timely this video is for me! Oddly, I’ve been struggling with my own cat painting recently. I started the painting shortly before my sweet kitty passed away, and now that she’s gone and I need to finish the painting, I am TERRIFIED of messing it up. There has been lots of crying every time I make the wrong brush stroke. It’s gotten to the point where I’m afraid to touch it, but I also can’t leave it unfinished, and now it’s just this huge ball of artistic insecurity wrapped up in grief. Anyway, you’ve given me some new hope that I turn out a painting I’m proud of. At the very least you’ve inspired me to keep trying.

[@AlpayEfe]

You may want to consider researching Synchronicity 💚💚💚

[@recoveringsoul755]

Aww I'm sorry. Lost my cat over a year ago. I want another, but can't afford it now

[@melissabrouwer9899]

Jeeze get it together and paint it, do it for kitty

[@gwenritch]

My cat too went to rainbow bridge April 14;and now its all about the painting

[@andreeadumitra1354]

I always watch your videos before I start painting. I like the way you talk about your painting process, it makes me feel secure, like I am not the only one having doubts. You made me understand that this is the natural process for growth and that I should just keep going. Thank you for being here!

[@seviregis7441]

I LOVE that you kept his boots as his actual cat feet. And the occasional appearance of peekaboo color in the background adds energy and movement. His face, expression, attire, character hat, and colors... really excellent. Wasn’t sure if you were going to put a dripping paint brush in his other hand (paw) as if he was wildly slashing color against the background, the way he’d use his sword.

[@Jules_Pew]

A double portrait of Hansel and Gretal would be cool. There are so many situations to put them in.

[@bibinoojen]

OBSESSED with this idea. Literally gasped at the reimagined snow white. It's cheeky but high art and so creative at the same time, it really suits you! Can't wait to see the upcoming characters.

[@ecisme10]

I literally just added Grimm's fairytales to my library in my studio last week. I'm glad others take inspiration from this old stories.

[@Legolightbulb]

I’m so glad you mentioned der gestiefelte Kater version of the name! I grew up knowing him like that and always felt the English version didn’t give justice to such a unique character. And amazing painting! Absolutely incredible!!

[@tonydyer2919]

Reminds me of a cat called James who we were custodians over 30 years ago. A brave dashing boy who was intrepid, taking on all breeds of dogs who invaded his territory. Love your painting..

[@renn.or.something]

I love the 17th century portrait style, it kinda makes him look like a dressed up child with that sliver of awkwardness that fits right into the appeal of the painting, but he looks majestic at the same time

[@leeanngreen8306]

Such a cute kitty! Truly a Musketeer! Captured the brave, sassy personality of Puss. Ginger kitty, just how they behave! In the future, I'd love to see you paint Little Red Ridding Hood and the big bad wolf! Thanks!

[@francheskad.o.5987]

I think its absolutely inspiring to see modern fine arts artists share their process of masterfully recreating media inspirations into their own. I've been subcribed for over a year now and I really hope I can get the opportunity in the future to curate or at least see your artworks in person!!!

[@RosemaryFehlner]

There is nothing I love more than a cat! (I have two). I really like how you got a very vulnerable expression on his face. It really draws the viewer in.

[@alessiapodgorica1260]

Not only the painting, but I find your searching and exploring process very important and stimulating. The painting is very captivating, also simply beautiful. I love this new concept from you.😍

[@AlpayEfe]

Thank you so much 😀

[@threnoidia]

When you added the feather to the hat I thought you were going for a subtle highlight and had gone off the rails! It's like I was painting along with you I was getting worried about repainting the background too. Lovely final image!

[@TSMCMinecraft]

what a sick painting man i love it!

[@AlpayEfe]

🙏😁

[@adelinazinger9722]

Wow, the Cat turned out just amazing!!! And he looks exactly how I used to imagine him while reading fairytales in my childhood, great work! And congrats on your new art series!

[@aliciarager1955]

I’ve been stuck on a recent painting because I’m afraid of the impending ugly phase, but I guess the only way out is through 🤞🏻 love your work

[@SandyAllnock1]

The thing that won me over: the BOOTS. I’m forever challenged with looking at fantasy characters and wondering why they anthropomorphized them into oblivion when there’s a perfectly wonderful creative solution. Bravo!

[@topherjones3898]

Love to see you finding inspiration from traditional fairytales, they look great and I'd love to see more in the future!

[@felicagriswold7276]

Sad to think that as adults we lose the joy of … everything! Joy of birds singing, shapes in clouds, imagining ourselves in every story we read. “Perfection” is the biggest lie we tell ourselves. It is our excuse for opting out. I enjoy your art, process, voiceover and messages. Thank you for sharing. Oh, I’d love to see you do a painting of Rumpelstiltskin or Grendel or ??

[@H3lianthus]

Reimagining the fairytale characters feels like the ultimate creative journey. Finding all the little inspiring details AND most importantly filtering it all trough your original imagination can be a true inspiration awakening. Beautiful work!

[@jordang5667]

I would absolutely think the shoe makers elf’s would be such a fun fairy tale To paint!

[@evergreen45974]

I would love to see the Frog Prince in your style! Your paintings are so inspirational

[@itsmaibert]

Absolutely insane outcome! Loved your explanation of the thought process from start to finish -- the amount of effort that goes into these paintings fascinates me! Looking forward to the other pieces of fineart fairytales! 👌

[@nayak.kuldeepsingha]

Watching this artwork has been a roller coaster ride of emotion. Really glad u changed the background at the end it elevated the painting to such a good ending loved it

You truly are my favourite artist Alpey, you have become such an inspiration I've gotten my passion for painting back. I can start focusing on my art instead of the cancer so thank you so much. 🙏

[@archaedeos]

"Right now I feel like I could mess this painting up at any moment. And if I keep going, I probably will." Knowing when to stop while painting is one of the toughest battles ever.; much more than actually starting the artwork!

[@llunaliste8576]

Alpay! I was genuinely smiling while watching this video! Come on, all your story telling, the music, the dynamism of the video! its really catching, thank you for the work you are doing. Very happy to have a companion while having breaky this morning :) I will think about what fairy tale character I love and I’ll share it

[@josepizarrosoto1645]

I really enjoy this fairy tale series. Puss n boots looks like a total gentleman. Next you should try Pinocchio.

[@LisaPizza04]

I am in awe of your talent every time and you never cease to inspire me. I look forward to this new series and one fairy tale character I’d like to see your take on is Aladdin. There’s a lot you can pull from for that tale 😊

Good idea. Would also love to see that. Or "Der kleine Muck" 😉 (The little Muck)

Please do Little Mermaid next! 🧜‍♀️ I can only imagine how beautiful you would reimagine her to be. Maybe even add some sort of elaborate seashell crown? 🤔 👑

[@bodawei425]

Funny how painting is full of surprises. At one moment it seems to go nowhere and one feels despaired ; the moment after, something clicks and we're feverishly back in the 'flow'. Love the re-interpretation of these classic tales, with a new twist of shapes, colors and textures that make them very modern. Well done!

[@maschabehr8027]

I'd like to see the danish fairytale "The Snow Queen" from Hans Christian Andersen reimagined by you! There were a few movie attempts, but they never met my childhood experience of it.

[@Quinix13th]

Fingers Crossed! "Die Bremer Stadtmusikanten" would be awesome I think!

[@avdheshkumar1712]

Amazing painting!! Usually, people say Photoshop is the best for this artwork where you have design and change things up, but this oil painting looks epic ❤❤

[@YourCaptivityisOver]

Excellent. The Little Prince gets my vote for your next painting.

[@kellywilson2147]

Herr Boots is magnificent! He is the epitome of what I know would have been the fourth Musketeers had the author or subsequent movie producer seen your painting! I can hardly wait for your next entry in the series! 💜

[@jastify79]

'Der gestiefelte Kater' turned out great. I love the inspiration from the old illustrations. Great you're making a series out of it. 👏

[@kaitlinanderson]

Incredible 🎉 thank you for showing so much of your process. I appreciate how candid you are, and of course your dry sense of humor 🤗

[@greenspiritarts]

Everything is always evolving. We artists have an important role in helping the imagination world to evolve too. I make fairy houses. It is my calling and passion. AND I am in awe of watching you paint. The purpose of practicing skills over and over and over is so that you are no longer held back but can move and flow WITH the creative inspiration and bring something fresh and new into the world, even if it is a well-rooted concept or character we all thought we knew. Everything is evolving; birds, bugs, humans and galaxies. We artists (and mothers and gardeners and anyone who helps things grow) is part of that primordial process. Thank you for sharing yours with us! I would love to see you do a portrait of Pallas Athena. She is ready for her make-over! ❤

[@finch45lear]

Knock it off. That painting is stunning ! I love it!

[@kba7952]

Love the "boots"....amazing content and delivery.

[@TDN3052]

Since graduating college, I've stayed very busy on my sculpture portfolio and commission work. The past year or so it has felt like "only work"; I was avoiding picking up my tools and I was worried I was losing my love for art. When I started watching your videos a couple weeks ago, I realized the problem was (very obviously) the fact that I haven't done any art "just for fun" in four frickin' years. Dumb, right? I fixed this by doing a fan-art painting of my favorite photo of my favorite band. And now I'm having fun again. Thanks so much for helping me get out of my shell to put things back in perspective :)

[@anitaokoye2801]

Ughhh love this sooo muchhhh. I wanna see a jack and the beanstalk painting. I think you would make it so epic!!!

[@poison_pocion7311]

This is the definition of an underrated chanel

Incredible work. As everyone writing and commenting here I would be so proud showing off with one of your prints. I am looking forward to see some more „fineart fairytales“. 😊

[@mercedesreinhard1613]

I literally just found you for the first time, and the tips and things you've gone over in the video are fantastic! Not to mention super helpful in my own journey. Thank you!❤

[@SlimmerCat]

I really love the strong yellow/ochre vs blue/teal color scheme you chose for your Mr. Gestiefelte Kater!! I also really love what you said about tapping into the mindset of being a creative kid and just feeling pure excitement for making things, and the way that our motivations for making art change as we get older. I definitely feel most creative when I can get back in that excited and inspired state, where I see others' works and think, "oh!! i love the way they [rendered this lighting/designed this outfit/drew this hand/whatever]-- what if *I* tried to do something like that?" It's nice to hear I'm not the only one who returns to childhood to remember what uninhibited inspiration feels like.

[@Matteo1007]

It came out “purrfect” 🐱🙌 As an adult I love how the fairytales/fantasy style brings a nostalgic feeling. On another note, at 9:20 the modern/minimalist art you showed caught my attention. About 7 years ago I painted something very “similar” in monochromatic colors as such. It gave me hope that I might not be 1/2 bad and to continue my abstract painting journey. Thank you again for the wonderful vid 😃

[@lindaamerica4587]

I love the Kitty cat. The costume looks so great. The expression on the face looks natural & alert ... like he is saying "I will fight you only if you force me to. " Lol

[@cheryllewis7017]

Oh please please do a sleeping beauty! Or even one of the fairys. This movie is my all time favorite partly because of the background animation everything has straight lines and is so expressive of the pierod. I'm so glad I found your channel, thank you for do it.😊

[@ringsroses]

Fairy tales are a pretty cool inspiration for art, looking forward to seeing which ones you bring to life.

[@EHR_Art]

Great idea for a series! Love your takes on them. Sleeping beauty or Rapunzel may be fun & refreshing, broken free from Disney’s mold.

[@annika93dk7]

Such a hilarious character 😃 It is a lovely and fun movie too and my husband and I had great conversations about the symbolism, puss' arc and the big questions in life 🌍✨ I hope you are doing good and have a lovely weekend. Thank you for sharing this beautiful art and story with us. Smiles from Denmark

[@siriusrigel2194]

Your videos make me want to make art. Your voice and everything is really enough to get me inspired. The colors, the joy that the colors give while you're speaking to the art community. It fills my heart with peace. Love your videos! I hope that you're youtube channel will grow and be able to speak to more people!!

[@ezia5523]

Anytime you release a video, it feels like an event to me. I will watch every second with such and inspired and admirative feeling. It would mean the world to me to earn one of your print. Thank you for your art. ♥

[@napalama]

Thank you for this video, it was hypnotizing - developing of the character, brush strokes and after all the cat looks like you in a way :))) Beautiful painting

[@miazitadesiign]

I can truly appreciate your fondness for the Puss ‘n Boots character since I got a cat myself. I’m in awe of his acrobatics and fearlessness. His mishaps and adventures bring levity to life. And your beautiful and skillful painting captures this perfectly 🥰 😍 🤩

[@cokoflores308]

I'm glad you were brave enough to change the background, it truly brought it all together. 💜 Good reminder for myself that I should be a bit more brave with my own little artworks.

Can’t wait for your next fairy tale reimagined painting. Keep ‘em coming!

[@potarnica]

I love your videos, you are a fantastic painter and video producer. I like the way you speak and drive the public into your painting process without shouting, hypes or the narcissistic approach so much used in today’s video making. I like the slow, steady pace you tell about the different techniques and of course, I love your paintings. You are such an inspiration in a moment I feel stuck and with little hope of doing something good with my painting. So, thank you! And if I may suggest a fairy tale it would be Jack and the beanstalk.

[@RadicalElder]

I would love to see your take on Aladdin - it's my favourite of all time. However, my wife is a massive fan so I'm going to comment in hopes of seeing your art in our home one day.

[@isabelrg9989]

I am fascinated by this artwork. I love the contrast of your modern style with the outdated clothing of the character. The color palette is so amazing that this painting would look great anywhere. Thank you for taking the time to creatively show the process that goes into your work, your videos always inspire me :) I hope you paint Pocahontas in the future, for me she is the coolest and most authentic princess.

[@juliapace2845]

Love the Gestiefelte Kater. Don't know why, it just makes me happy.

[@Hyper5nic]

Thank you for sharing this and I really admire artists that can play with light and color as you do! Changing the background was an excellent choice and masterfully executed, because now our hero really pops of the canvas! A character that I believe could use with a fresh breath of life, could be 'Hop-o'-My-Thumb' or as he was called back in 17 hundreds 'Le Petit Poucet' or in the English translation 'Little Poucet' about the youngest of 7 children of a poor woodcutter, who goes on an adventure and defeats a giant, or an ogre, whichever story suits best. Good luck to all people that share their opinion and thoughts, for a small chance to win one of these wonderful paintings!

[@dessertthingy]

When he says the mid-process painting looks 'ugly' and it still looks amazing.

I absolutely love this concept. You have inspired me to break through my limiting belief that fits everything into a “standard” thought box. I am going to allow inspiration from the inside out instead of the outside in. Thank you 😊 …also the cat looks just my darling cat child, lol

The cat looks so cool! I would definitely watch a cartoon with such character.
