Someone save the girl

[secondlina]

 

Just a little fanart I did while I was lying around today. Today I was really tired and sickly. Bright new levels of Isa zombirism. Oh well.

It's Rue, a character from the anime "Princess Tutu". There's a segment in the show where she's swallowed by the villain, a giant crow. Now, this is where japanese people are strange. For some reason, when you reach certain levels of badness, there's weird things in your body. In this giant crow's body, there is apparently room for a barren wasteland covered in dying plants and dancing skeletons. I mean, obviously.

The prince eventually comes to save here, shedding a tunnel of light right before his entrance. It's a cool scene. I like it.

Yeah,t his resume makes her sound weak, but she's actually quite the strong character. I was talking to putri_nih today about how most of the strong women in cinema we can think of (REAL strong women. Those who are feminine as much as badass) are all animated. The worse cases of "save me i'm in trouble" girls are also animated. Talk about that.

Going back in a sickly ball now *curls up*

Rue~! I love how this picture looks like a marriage of Tim Burton and Princess Tutu. Come to think of it, a Tim Burton version of Princess Tutu would be pretty awesome (just think of all the crow people and how extra creepy Drosselmeyer would look!). XD

...You know, I never thought I'd agree with this, but DO WANT!
(Only downside is he'd age up the characters and have Johnny Depp playing either Fakir or Drosselmeyer...and get Helena for Rue.)

I would take Depp as Drosselmeyer. I WOULD!
