Description
So I wasn't going to do installment number three of Brothers Grimm just yet, but I added ~gorjuss to my DevWatch a couple of days ago and noticed she was having a Brothers Grimm competition, so I went ahead and did Rapunzel a little early so she could be my entry into the contest before the cut-off, which is today.

When I think of Rapunzel, here modeled after ~SirenadeStock , I always think of the traditional feminine princess archetype.... the delicate and beautiful flower locked away and shielded from the rest of the world until her handsome prince comes to rescue her and take her away toward her destiny on a white horse. Some find that idea insulting while others find it charming. It depends on how you look at it, I suppose. I always felt like Rapunzel's long hair was a symbol of not only her beauty, but beauty itself as well, so it is interesting that it becomes the means by which she eventually escapes from her tower prison. Beauty can be a means of escape on many levels when one takes the time to think about it. Also used in the creation of this piece was a castle photo from ~MirandaRose-Stock to help create Rapunzel's tower.
