bettagirl Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Hey everyone! This is a mini I painted up for my oldest niece. I painted one for her 4 yrs. ago for her baby shower, that was done in the colours of her nursery. But, now that she has become a big sister, I asked her if she would like a new one and hand her old one down to her baby sister. So, of course she said "yes". She was 3 yrs. old at the time when I asked her this (mini was done for her 4th b-day) Anyway, at 3 yrs. old, I asked her what colours she would like for each part. (ex. hair, dress, wings, etc.) And this is what she came up with using her large collection of coloured markers to help her... hair- lt. purple main dress- lt. green ribbon/belt- black lower dress layer- purple wings- dk. green eyes- green skin- lt. flesh cloud- lt.purple I have to say that her colours worked out pretty darn good too! I got a bit fancy with the wings so that they weren't just a solid dk. green. Just to point out, with the rear pic, that's not chipped paint along the edge of the dress. It's actually sunlight reflecting off the gold trim. I almost had a heartattack when I saw it in the pic! lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrift Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 The peacock wings are pure genius! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matbar Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Yeah no joke, the wings are fantastic. I got this mini as a gift, having put it on a wish list last Christmas, but I've yet to feel comfortable working on her until I get some practice in. I wanted her specifically for the incredible wing detail. This is the second one I've seen painted, and she's just a wonderful mini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustardgreens Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 The wings look great up close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
