Yesterday, I was just browsing through the Tumblr of this girl, Cyril... who blogs a lot of Disney and Harry Potter stuff along with some personal stuff -- like how it's a dream of hers to work at a Disney park as a Princess -- and amidst all her fun posts I noticed something that pissed me off a great deal. On Tumblr you can send anonymous messages to people as long as they have it enabled... and someone had sent Cyril an anonymous message saying she wasn't pretty enough to be a Disney Princess actress.

First of all, it really annoys me when people leave unnecessarily shitty messages online because they think they can get away with it, when they would never dare to say the same things without the anonymity of the Internet to hide behind. Was it really fucking necessary to send a message like that, even if it's what you honestly thought? Nobody asked you. And especially to someone who you follow online... this person knew that their message would hurt Cyril because only people who read her blog would know that she wants to be a Disney actress... and they sent it anyway. And that is complete shit.

I used to get people who'd follow my blog or dA and then talk shit about me elsewhere thinking I didn't know exactly who they were and what they were saying… so when some little shit took the time out of their day to send Cyril a personal message that they knew would upset her, it really hit home with me. Because I know 99% of trolls who say crap on the Internet would never do so in person - hell, 99% of them can't even say things WITH THEIR OWN USERNAME, they've gotta hide behind an anon or hide on a different website to whisper amongst themselves like idiots. It's kind of hilarious in a very sad, losing-faith-in-humanity sort of way. Contrary to popular belief, there IS a difference between "being honest" and "being an anonymous, cowardly jackass." Just because you CAN post whatever the fuck you want online (the beauty of the Internet) doesn't mean you SHOULD. Ugh, people.

SO ANYWAY! tl;dr, back to this piece, this painting is a gift for Cyril, aka ~Bamiebal, a portrait of her as Rapunzel, who is the Disney Princess she would like to play someday. I wanted to draw a realistic Rapunzel anyway, and I decided she'd be a perfect model. Suck on that one, troll.

Oh and FYI - I don't know Cyril personally, I just happen to follow her blog. So she didn't have any influence on me doing this aside from giving me permission to use her as reference.

Drawn in Adobe Photoshop with a Wacom tablet. Reference from one of Cyril's deviantIDs: [link] For the hair I referenced several photos of Disneyland Rapunzels.

Beautiful. Absolutely Beautiful. TV Tropes lead me here. To the Jerkass who said she was ugly-Look at this, and see if she's ugly. She's not, dumbass. Anyway, beautiful picture.

If I had a hat, I would take it off to you. This is a fantastic picture and whoever said that horrible comment should be forced to watch Twilight.

Found this because of tv tropes. I think this was absolutely awesome for you to do. Damn basement dwelling trolls. 4chan ruined the internet for everyone. If they get off the net every once in awhile and go outside in the real world, maybe they wouldn't be suck assholes. But then again, going outside means they would have to confront people, and there are no screens to protect someone form a punch in the face in the real world :matrixfight: .

Keep doing what your doing, we need people with morals on the internet. We're becoming extinct!
