After two months... two months!!... of anticipation Tangled finally reached our shores. Long story short; nil disappointment and expectations met and exceeded. There was a little bit of blubber from my companion (*pokes* =CrazyEnglishGuy), and I have to admit that even the cold-hearted Russian lady had gone over all misty-eyed. Very much enjoyed it!
And now, let the fanart spree commence! This is 'The Lost', an alternate-universe take on a Flynn who never found the fantasy adventure book that forged his dreams as a kid. Is he a darker, angstier man, resentful at being forgotten? Would the Stabbington Brothers have had more of an influence on him? And what of Rapunzel? Would she still have ventured out of the tower with him in tow?
Quite a lot of tweaking on this one colour-wise, especially on the face, which I didn't really like until the last moment.
I hope you enjoy, ~Y.

You make some very good points with this!I was actually planning on writing a backstory for Flynn-how he became Flynn Rider, how he got hooked up with the Stabbingtons, etc.But it would be SUCH a fun challenge to try something along these lines-would you be willing to let me tool around with that kind of storyline?
Excellent work, my friend!I'm hyped up because I just sent a very angry e-mail about Flynn leaving DW XD let's see what the dude has to say, I made some quite good points!
I think I'm starting to become your biggest fan.... I have to ask; did you use brushes on the grass? Love the shading and the coloring overall, and the fact that you're not afraid of making realistic backgrounds. Thumbs up!
With regards to grass brushes, I do have some saved but don't tend to use them preferring instead to add my own grass touches. The manual approach to texturing gives you greater freedom. And, yeah, I need to work on those backgrounds. Perspective is hard to get right. X)
Thanks! Just wish I'd done it a little better. I've promised to do a "dark" Rapunzel too, in a similar style... and someone suggested a Gothel, but I imagine her as a 'goodie' in this AU. Tah for checking this out!
Fan art and fan fiction live in a free world. Of course, go ahead. The more, the better.
I'm writing a little something my own, but that is unlikely to get done any time soon.
Feel free.
Have a look at my follow-up art called 'The Lost Thought'.
