EDIT: added merida's freckles

i watched the midnight showing of 'brave', and my muse demanded i draw this before i fall asleep also beat my previous crossover i was gonna do

this is also my own entry to the crossover contest at
/

two of my favorite princesses: merida from 'brave' and rapunzel from 'tangled'. this is a lot different than my usual stuff. i tried adding a ton more details than usual, actually painting the hair. merida's hair was SO MUCH FUN! i loved doing it for being as freaking tired as i am (it's 5 am right now), i am very pleased with this outcome. lol, and no - this is no form of shipping nor are they naked - clothes are just not visible because i felt it would detract from the rest of the image since their outfits are slightly detailed.

EDIT
lol, now that i'm awake, i'll go ahead and write more about rapunzel and merida
RAPUNZEL: i love rapunzel for so many reasons. first off, she's an artist, so i'm basically required to like her lol. i just thought she was so cute and sweet, and i loved that they didn't go overboard with the whole "she's new the world" thing, like ariel. she just feels down-to-earth for what she's gone through, and when she finally stands up to gothel (even though she get pwned lol), you can't help but be so proud of her
MERIDA: merida, merida, merida. boy...did i want her to get slapped in that film i've heard a ton of people saying they love how independent, free-spirited, and tomboyish she is. she's actually almost none of these, and that's what makes her great. merida is a typical teen: entitled, know-it-all, and (at times) a spoiled brat. but that's why i LOVE her! the whole point of the film is how she's NOT independent. sure, she is free-spirited, but that free-spiritedness can easily be translated to being entitled in my opinion. my favorite part of her is how she is actually a little girl who doesn't know what she's doing at all. she may know how to shoot a bow and fight, but she has never been in a real battle and she has never experienced death. i won't spoil anything, but when she breaks down during battle and starts crying, that is when i fell in love with her. she's so real in the fact that she is a generic teenage girl. as much as i love other disney princesses, i can't really say i've ever connected with them. but merida's problems are real: quarreling with her mother over silly things when her mother is, in fact, correct and much more understanding than merida believes. i'm sure some people will complain about how whiny merida is, but if anyone who was ever a teenage girl can't argue that she's portrayed perfectly lol

whole process: 3.5 hours - when i'm really inspired i work really fast. also, there wasn't much drawing involved since it's all hair lol.

enjoy!
