BEFORE/ORIGINAL :[link] I do not own the image linked above. Seriously, click and take a look at it.
So one of the gifts i got for christmas was some of the Rise of the Guardians McDonalds toys from a friend of mine. I got Bunnymund,Toothiana, the snowglobe, and the elf. She couldn't get Jack or Sandy >.<
But anyways when i got her i thought "what a fugly paint job...I should re-paint her". So that was on my mind for a while... So i re-painted her last night Hope she looks okay. Her face is a bit strange but that was the hardest part to do. The rest was easy and quite enjoyable.
She's such a beautiful character. I hope i did her justice. I think she came out quite nice! Much better than before. Seriously, take a look at the link.
As for her wings, i am keeping them as is because the paint that i was working with wasn't adhering to them.
So what do you guys think ?

Comment and tell me what you think ? I would really appreciate it.
I'm impressed at how you transformed a simple McDonald's toy in this manner! You can barely recognize the base, and that's a good thing. I like how you added a lot more detail without going overboard and she looks so much prettier than the original toy. Excellent work!
Also, throwing out an idea for your consideration: For fairy wings, a popular material to use is cellophane for that translucent, "stained glass" look. You may be able to apply and heat it over the existing wings but they would still look rather opaque. If you are feeing adventurous, you could build a new set of fairy wings using wire for the frame. There are a number of good tutorials for making fairy wings for dolls that can be found on Google. Anyway, cellophane is pretty easy to find at most craft stores near gift basket supplies if you are interested in giving this a go.
Thanks so much. Glad you like it. yeah, i thought about doing something like that but, eh, it's alot of work. I like her the way she is. But maybe one day...One day when im not strseed about college applications... Thanks for the advice though
I love it! You really made the colors pop out. In comparison, the original looks sort of dead. I want to go see this movie sometime, cause I follow one of the artists that worked on it on deviantart.
