Mint: I used Cinderella as her face reference-- I happened to find one that looked kind of sassy, just like our dear Mint! Her pose is loosely based off of one of Rapunzel's--again, so much sass! Her wings are based off of the bird wing style used again in Cinderella. Her dress color came from Jasmine, and her hair and blue accents came from Snow White's bodice.
Lettuce: I felt it was fitting to use Belle's face as reference for Lettuce! Belle has always struck me as very sweet looking but still more mature than the younger princesses. I felt she captured perfectly Lettuce's kindness and soft personality. Her pose is also loosely based off of one of Belle's. Both colors of green come from Ariel's Mermaid fins!
Ichigo: Ichigo's face is based off of Ariel! I patterned her dress design after Aurora's dress, and the color pink is from that as well. I came up with the pose myself. The red is from Snow White's hair bow. Her hair design is also mimicking Aurora's.
Zakuro: Zakuro has Aurora's face (only I changed it from smiling to Zakuro's characteristic model face) and Jasmine's pose (you probably recognize it, it's a pretty commonly used image) Purple was hard to find; most of the purple worn by princesses is more in the lilac/lavender range, not that deep magenta Zakuro usually wears. For the main color, I used the color of Ariel's seashell top, and the accent color is actually from Megara's dress in Hercules.
Pudding: Pudding is probably the most franken-mew as far as composition: I used Mulan's face for reference, but then changed to Rapunzel's eyes, for a more younger/active looking Pudding. She derives her colors from Belle's hair and dress. Actually, Zakuro has more of a mix of things used, but I actually morphed two different faces for Pudding, that's why I think of her as more mixed.
Speaking of New Disney princesses, I absolutely love Frozen! So. Freakin'. Adorable. I really love Anna and Elsa--they made it so that they complement each other perfectly! Plus, I feel a special connection, because Elsa's personality matches mine, and Anna's matches my sister, so it meant a lot to me!
I hope you enjoy this next installment! I don't know what or when the next one will be, so it will be a surprise for everyone!
Love and Sparkles,
Kayla
