**prints are available on my Etsy shop!**

A commission from a friend for her daughter's room.

She requested something with a princess and fairies. I decided to do another take on Rapunzel. While fantasy is something I encourage, I want the girls of today (and yesterday) to know that's it ok to take action instead of waiting for your "prince."

So, after chopping off her own hair, with a small hobo bag leaned up against the door ready to go, Rapunzel saves herself.

(Yes, I realize braided hair would make a better rope, but I had so much fun drawing it as flowy and free.)

EDIT: sakura micron pigmas, faber-castell brush pens, copic sketch markers. forgot to list this. opps.

I just 'stumbled' on this. I absolutely love it! I showed it to my 8 year old daughter and she shouted 'Yeah! Go Rapunzel!' :D

Also got here through StumbleUpon.

I'd like to think females like you are the ones that inspire us guys to be better in turn.

Cheers and well done!

This reminds me of another retelling of Rapunzel I read about, the lead character who does the same thing with her hair... ;P

Still, I love the fairy book style. She looks rather cool with short hair, actually ^__^

thanks! i prefer her with short hair, too.

i haven't heard of that retelling of Rapunzel before, but i'm not surprised. fairy tales have been reinvented so many times and in so many ways.

got a link to that version?

They did have that episode available online a while ago, but this is the next best thing I could find - BTW, this version is wittingly christened, "Shampoozel" :XD: :
