MTM WINTRY WONDERLAND 2007-2008

oringinally this was planned for halloween however once i saw this i couldnt resist but make it into a bright wintery-ish one instead of the dark and dreary one i was originally planning XD i hope it fits the theme ^_^'

generally this is suppose to be a kind of made up place so its not suppose to make sense XDonce i saw the scan from atseiS i decided i wanted to do a candy wall with everything made of candy, well almost everything XD

i had to fix up some parts and recreate others since she was covered a bit such as fixing up her fingers and redoing her hair and i decided to not have her tongue sticking out :) i didnt like the original position of her only leg that you can see so i changed it because it looked too weird all the way out where it was, well in my opinion anyway XD i redid her ribbon and changed it slightly since it looked a bit weird ^_^' i had to recreate parts of her outfit so i reconstructed the bottom of her dress and the sleeves :D

i thought i'd try something completely different from what i would normally do so i decided to kind of do this vexel like in a way :D its a new way for me so i hope this turned out okay :) the hair details took a long time [about 10 hours just for the hair colouring] and my colour pallet i used for it is huge XD since the scan didnt have all that much detail i thought i'd spice it up a bit with my own details so i went a bit crazy with it XD

sample hair

for the bottom part of her outfit, i wanted it to represent like a swirl of colours, kind of like when one twirls a board of colours where the colours would seem random yet you can see lines of colours XD i decided to do the dress that way so it would also fit with the theme of the background so that her dress seems like a swirly lolly like dress XD

sample dress

the sleeves and her accessories i wanted to keep simple so i added a few more highlights and shadows on a few parts of her outfit :)

sample sleeve

for the background i wanted it to look simpler than the vector of cc so i decided to have less detail in the background in comparison to her yet still have enough detail to not make her seem too out of place :D

sample candy cane

sample stair

i thought to incorporate the colour blue into the wall since its usually associated with the 'cold' colours

for the necklace shes holding i was inspired by those three charm necklaces [faith, charity and hope i think ^_^'] so i thought i'd make my own using a chocolate bar, a jellybean and a round lolly :D

300+ layers since i ended up lossing count of how many layers there are altogether after that ^_^'

this wall took about 60+ hours over a few weeks :)


representations

the candy canes are "street posts"
marshmallows are falling "snow" and "clouds"
round candy/lollipop without the stick is the "moon"
candy wrappers that are flowing in the breeze are "petals"
round shaped lollipops are "streets lamps" or "telegraph poles"
jellybeans are a small "charm" on a necklace and small "stones" or "pebbles" on the ground
candy in wrappers are "stars" and "decorations"
chocolate bar is a small "charm" on a necklace
round candy is a small "charm" on a necklace

thanks for viewing ^^
