Rose Princess struck a cord with me. To be named after something so beautiful, but temporary; it made me sad. I don't know if this was the intent of the contest, but I had to put the image I had on paper. I hope you enjoy it. I've uploaded a new illustration that depicts this young girl several years later, just prior to her coronation.
Due to the overwhelming support. I'm marking this illustration as finished. I had worked on a more rendered version, but it seemed to lose the charm. So, thank you for the many likes, and best of luck!
