Description
After being stuck in the tower for weeks, the princess no longer had the patience to wait for a prince to rescue her, so she decided to escape the tower on her own. That was a little more troublesome than she had expected, though.This is another one of my old ideas, and I've wanted to make a proper painting out of it for years. Well, now I have, and despite struggling with the tower more than I like to admit, I really enjoyed working on this. Ah, how I enjoy illustrating fairytales (or that is, illustrating how I think fairytales should be)
Enjoy!
Medium: Photoshop CS5
Date: May 11, 2011
Time spent: Hmmm, I'd say about 50 hours, working on and off
References: I got a lovely reference for the princess's boot
EDIT: Wait, do I spot a DD here???
Holy purple rodent, this is awesome! Thank you so much for suggesting, and for featuring this painting of mine, I'm truly honored

I hope she postpones her plan for the time being.
And morale of the story,you don't always need a prince charming to rescue you,if you are strong enough to fight your fate.
Lovely work.A well deserved DD.

With some luck and wits, I think the princess will be alright
Haha, I guess the morale would be something like that

"Stuff waiting, I'm getting out myself"? Fair enough, I know a few people who would do that too...

I've always liked people who do stuff themselves, instead of just waiting for others to do it for them ^^

It's a good plan, though there are times it's advisable to get help...

Of course, it's not everything you can do on your own. Yet, most people don't need help to do everything either

Wonderfully done. All of those teeth on the dragon make me hope she either ducks back inside or has a very large weapon in her back pocket...

Thanks! Well, she may be lucky enough to not be noticed by the dragon. If something could just distract it for a few minutes...
