Rapunzel Mashpunzel

Frequenting the pool of suggestions for my monthly What Shall I Draw Today? sessions are fun mash-ups, the combination of 2 or more different things into a new (some times more awesome) thing. I say “fun” because even if I never end up draw those suggested mash-ups, in almost all cases, the ideas tickle the brain to wonder, “what would that look like.”

RAPUNZEL / DAENERYS TARGARYEN

Black ink and color pencil on Bristol Board.
6.35 cm x 8.89 cm (2.50 in. x 3.50 in.).

When the Disney version of the fairy tale character is mashed-up with the Game of Thrones’s Queen of Dragons, naturally the companion chameleon, Pascal gets mashed-up as one of here dragons.

I confess here, that I still haven’t watched any of the HBO series (and 15 minutes of what was probably the much-talked-about “Red Wedding” on a hotel room television on a comic convention trip doesn’t count). Therefore, I don’t know how apt the mash-up is. But it does not need to be, because I’m not developing a story here - not even a Mad Magazine styled satire.

As posted on Instagram

Therefore 2: I gave Pascal costume wings secured by a tiny harness. Even making the assumptive leap from promotion images to imagine that Daenerys did/does ride dragons, I can’t say the she had done/did on a saddle. If she does ride on a dragon saddle, then WIN!

RAPUNZEL / SAILOR MOON

Black ink and Color pencil on Bristol Board.
6.35 cm x 8.89 cm (2.50 in. x 3.50 in.)

I suppose one could argue that the one object in the sky that Rapunzel is most associated with is the Sun, because of the sun symbol (spoilers) belonging to her family; and that would make her “Sailor Sun,” yes?

In designing the mash-up, I tried keeping much of the colors from Rapunzel’s costume and apply them to the typical Sailor Moon costume. Not satisfied with that, I added more of Raunzel’s details like striped pouffy sleeves, laces down the front of her bodice and fringes. Of course, she needs her signature long, long hair.

monstergram7 - July & August 2016

Well, I’ve maintained posting pretty regularly at a rate of no fewer than six times a week on Instagram during the summer months of July and August. The end-of-the-month “What Shall I Draw Today?” sessions are definitely helping me build up an original art stock to sell at my few comic book convention showings.

If it’s true that there’s an audience for everything, then the random WSIDT suggestions may meet those demands.
