PUNZIE! Okay- so... remember how I said on my Robin and Marian my Dad went to a special shop in Walt Disney World and had an artist make me a pencil drawing of the Fox and his Vixen? (I was... 13?). Well- see I only went to Disney World that one time (Disney Land I was 6, we drove there from San Jose in a small car- my 6 foot tall sister and brother with me sammiched in the back seat... not the most pleasant?). ANYWAYS!

Back in 1992 I got on-line yeah, I know 1992. I was 8. Prodigy Classic. It was only a few years after that that on Prodigy I ended up in the Role-Play chat rooms and I met a girl known as 'Tionne Hawk' that girl- a few years older than myself (I was now 11-12) was Bridget.

I was a seriously lonely kid- not saying I had a horrible childhood oh pity me no one EVER had it worse. That is SO not the case it was just really, lonely. But online I had friends, I was popular even! aka- people would IM me just to say hi. WOW! yeah, I know, lame. XD but that's okay I laugh at it now.

So, Bridget. When Prodigy ended because it wasn't Y2K compatible there was a 'migration' a lot of us went to various service providers because this was back with 56k people. We never lost touch. We didn't speak EVERY day but we didn't lose touch.

Then back in 2005 the phone calls started. Bridget living out in CA and me in MA would just gabba gabba on the phone when we needed to. Our characters were 'sisters' and we became sisters (legit- same Sorority and everything). We stayed pretty heavy in each others lives even more so than we had been way back in the day.

I got my heart broken? I called Bridget. Bridget needed advice? She called me. It just worked even all those thousands of miles apart. Then when SoulGeek.com launched and I knew Bridget was sick of the games I made her go there. I got an account and I MADE HER go there. Heck I made her go out to Vegas for the first meet up. Low and Behold- Bridget met Christopher via SoulGeek. They have been together for 4 years and are getting married next June, I'll be the Maid-Of-Honor.

(Yes, we HAVE met in person don't be silly in fact she's coming to visit in a month and a half!)

So- why am I talking about Bridget and Topher with a drawing of Punzie? AND My dad's Robin/Marian story? Simple. Last year Bridget and Topher went to Disney World (pretty sure they drove down too XD) and she asked what Disney character was my favorite I gave her a list. Bridget KNOWS about my Robin/Marian she's seen them plenty of times.

I thought she was going to send me a pin- I still have a few. But imagine my surprise when I get a package with another Disney Artist Pencil Sketch JUST like my Robin and Marian with the note "Now it's a collection!"

Color me touched. I just loved the pose so much- it's been at my Mothers house waiting to get framed so I haven't seen it in months but I remembered it as best I could and voila!

Last year I learned the value of having DISNEY in my con-book. BOARD little girls being dragged around by brothers/uncles/dad's and suddenly they saw what I had in my book and the show was so much more awesome! (Hence the Disney kick?) I did Punzie/Flynn last year pretty sure it was my first Disney Peice since the Belle I did 2 years ago.

My coloring, my inking, my very core of my talent has improved 10 fold since last year (don't believe me? look for yourself- [link] now compaire to above? C'MON!)

Lesson learned on this one- to make "golden" hair have more depth once you are done using whatever it is you use (copics- Y11 Pale Yellow, Y02 Canary Yellow, Y18 Lightning Yellow, Y21 Buttercup Yellow, Y17 Golden Yellow with Y32 Cashmere to blend it all together- once it's dry I used E33 Sand to go into the darker parts/add contrast and blended back out with the Cashmere.)

I should have looked up Pascal especially because I did this from 5 month old memory my bad.

Rapunzel is C of Disney- Don't Sue, I have nothing of value, unless you want a Kidney.

Done on X-Press It Blending Card with Copic SP Multi-Liners over BIC Mechanical Pencil with Copic Sketch Markers for color.
