If you don't think one ex-crossdressing-Darwinist-airwoman and four random Austrian children, one of whom bears a striking resemblance to a pig, can draw a massive sidewalk chalk mural in a single day with evidently only one box of chalk, then YOU haven't been paying attention. 'Cos it's Deryn Fckin' Sharp.
Anywho, t'was concieved while watching Tangled! You know that part where she and Flynn venture into town and dance and play with the townspeople and Rapunzel lays down some mad chalk-drawing skillz with the kiddies like the born-to-be-leader she is? This is Deryn doing that. 'Cause she married Alek. Which would make history.
I admit I took some shortcuts through Photoshop with the cobblestones and overall it's a bit sloppier than I would've liked, but after I sneezed all over my desk--and this drawing included--whilst simultaneously trying to eat a goddamn cherry, I kind of lost the will to carry on. It was hilarious and gross but also sad.

Adorable. I really like to think that this would happen, somehow, some where in their future. I love the bottom picture of him wiping the chalk off her cheek

Deryn was quite astounding, really, and entirely worth throwing away an empire for.
