When inspiration is running thin & I can't think of what to paint or draw I usually end up with something space opera related. Or that is what happened here anyway. It's more of a practise with paint than anything else. I copied onto canvas from an original pencil sketch & didn't have a clue what the colours would be or how I wanted it to turn out. There are a number of things I know I would change, but comments are still appreciated - especially any tips on painting realism, as my paint skills still leave a lot to be desired for...
On to the subject. I suppose I was influenced by the Brothers Grimm fairytale, though this Rapunzel looks as though she would give the witch who imprisoned her a bit of back chat. I'm also a big fan of Brom, and was influenced by his art XD
I also have a new signature because I decided it was high time I started using my own name to sign artwork, so I just put my initials. I forgot to date it though, tsk!)
