Escape

I'm not even sure where to start. Perhaps with the remark that you obviously spent a lot of time on this--the attention to detail and the tender loving care poured all over it are quite apparent.
Next, I'd like to light on the subject matter. Coming at it with no knowledge of the source, a multitude of stories are possible. The Jester's calm smile and the Princess' shocked, frightened and sorrowful expression provide a delightful contrast. The breaking checkerboard flooring is a nice touch--it speaks of what was once order degenerating into chaos. The same thing happens on the musical staff as the individual notes abandon their posts. The background is nicely blended, and adapts to the character it's behind.
The emotion in the piece is immediately gripping, the color contrast and usage is rich and entrancing. The piece is thought-provoking and stirring in almost every way.
I'm not familiar with your work, so these two characters and their story (if they have one, which I'm sure they do in some measure) are foreign to me. My only issue is that I don't quite understand it, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying it. Despite this, I still give you a 10 out of 10. Bravo. It is truly a masterpiece.
