I have a question on your line work of this drawing that you did of merida. Did you do that line work in photoshop or illustrator, and if so what is the process of how you go about getting your lines to look the way they do?And if possible could you demonstrate how you did that?Reginald Fergusonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02251646331688414366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761399790417030925.post-72489702006056348182013-10-08T12:09:59.129-07:002013-10-08T12:09:59.129-07:00Hi Pete let me first say i love your art, and i fo...Hi Pete let me first say i love your art, and i follow your blog very closely.

Why do people care more about Brave than all the other movies? It's the fate of merchandising a line based on selling girls dolls and makeup.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09602211452811328898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761399790417030925.post-74239134590969461862013-05-14T08:20:51.080-07:002013-05-14T08:20:51.080-07:00The artists could do a "toon render" of ...The artists could do a "toon render" of a CG character that would preserve all its original proportions, but that can introduce other glitches.<br /><br />Negative comments have been simmering ever since the 2012 Princess redesign. Looks like Merida's conversion blew the lid off.<br /><br />What's really sad is public gets less opportunity to see the original designs, which in some cases took years for artists/animators to create.<br /><br />kurtwilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01126470936272556396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761399790417030925.post-58085054002377723712013-05-14T06:29:59.968-07:002013-05-14T06:29:59.968-07:00Frankly, I think they should just leave the CG gir...Frankly, I think they should just leave the CG girls out of the Disney Princess merchandising program altogether. They don't naturally fit in and have to be adapted to line illustration to remain consistent with the others. It looks like some people can't understand that process, and therefore go on to make much ado about nothing. When it comes right down to it, the Disney Princesses are for the little girls who naturally love all things that are pretty. It's a totally harmless, fluffy concept, is all.

The two complaints I keep seeing are that they thinned her waist (did they? I guess I can perceive a slight, slight difference, but was she not thin in the movie?) and that her hair had been tamed- no, that's the same hair. It's 2D and perhaps simplified, but that's the same hair. The eyes I noticed and everyone seemed to be complaining that her eyes are too sexy, without understanding that she's got noticeable lashes now, thus makeup. You're right though, the whole "princess" as a brand thing totally strips these beautiful characters of their individuality and stories and plops them into a gold,pink, and purple world where they can all live together without actually interacting.
