And Deco King, there haven't been any new pictures of Gothel, but I've been looking around to see if any have been posted in the past. If I find anything, I'll post it here.

those were done by a fan.. sorry... i love the design of her though. i wish that this was how she would look..

Oh. That's a disappointment. They are quite lovely, though. Thanks!

Is it sad I find the fan art more appealing than the "official" concept art?

Well, count me in, too, so we can be sad together.

LOL it's all good. I'm still really excited about this film.

It is.. I mean really, that design is very appealing, she is young, quirky and seems full of life. I just hope that they make her look more 2D, I mean why not traditionally animate her and use CG to add texture and some more shadows. I mean really? Why in the world would the studio want it be CG in the first place is what I'm wondering. Disney is the only company who ever truly pulled off hand drawn animation, and it's the only company really that has ever had REAL successful fairy tales, not fantasy, fairy tales. Why not make Walt's 50TH FILM hand drawn.. a tribute to him.. it is the 50th.. and it's Rapunzel.. the one story Walt could never get just right...

It's sad, I know. It seems that kids really only seem to respond to CGI stuff these days. I'm hoping "Princess and the Frog" starts turning the tide in the other direction.

It's a shame that the linked art has nothing to do with the production, it's gorgeous!!! Regardless, I loved the one design so much that wanted to attempt her myself: http://enigmawing.deviantart.com/art/Rapunzel-137374065

oh I don't think they respond to CGI stuff anymore than traditional.. I just think that it's the fact that Disney is the only traditional animation producing company at the moment and they just stopped making what they were best at... traditionally animated fairy tales... they had 4 great films in a row.. although lion king wasn't a "fairy tale".. and since then they progressively got worse..the scripts just weren't as good.. and they lost their magic..

I think the generation of kids who experienced the shift from 2D to CGI responded more to CGI - it was fascinating. Children nowadays probably see it as the norm, so it's lost that aspect of it's appeal. I couldn't care less what children think of the film TBH. Sure it's nice to know if they enjoyed a movie, but I wouldn't go any deeper than that. I know when I was a kid I thought BatB was the most amazing film ever and could argue it too, but now I'm more informed

If we are in the process of discussing fanmade artwork, I'd also like to share some of my own pieces. Again, this is fan art. I've been working on my own version of the story for years as a sort of pet project. I'm working on a new piece right now which I hope to finish over the weekend. Which is my fav piece yet. Here's some older stuff...

Elladorine · Post by **Elladorine** » Fri Sep 18, 2009 3:26 am

Thanks supertalies!!!

And wow Rob, that's just gorgeous work!!!

Thank you for sharing!

enigmawing, so pretty!!!! And Rob, amazing! You both need to be working on the project...right now!

The reason Rapunzel will be in CG is because Glen Keane wanted to stretch how CG animation is done. He wanted to make it look painterly and beautiful, and like a painting. I mean, yes, initially I think he would've done it traditionally, but then working on the film more on the computer, he was enjoying it and wanted to make it the most beautiful animated film ever, and, if I recall correctly, when given the option later of making the film traditionally or in CG, he chose CG.

At the D23 Expo, I was surprised how many fans didn't know it was going to be CG. I talked to a lot of people after John Lasseter revealed the voice cast and showed the test footage and the general reaction was "I don't get why it is in CG." I kept trying to explain that story is the most important thing and that it will still be a great film. I'm actually excited for Disney's first CG traditional fairy tale (I don't count Chicken Little, lol).

Absolutely brilliant art from both you guys! Do you have any more?

Prince Kido · Post by **Prince Kido** » Fri Sep 18, 2009 5:35 pm

Wow! I am surprised but flattered to see my drawing on this link, even if i'm not happy at all that they were picked up without my permission.
I confirm these are only kind of fan-arts, meaning there are not official.
I am a french drawer who works in animation industry and I used to work on Disney's Tarzan at clean-up.
If you want to know or see more on my work and art, please feel free to check both my blog and website (there's a Disney Fan-art gallery, including more on Rapunzel unofficial fanarts...)

Enjoy!! And thanks for all the compliments I read there!!

Please, don't use my artwork without my permission, thanks by advance for your respect.
