This doll is inspired by one of my favorite movie characters - Andrea Sachs as played by Anne Hathaway from the film "The Devil Wears Prada".
Full facial repaint and shading as well as extensive hair style make over to replicate the features of Anne and the subtle nuances of lifelike expressions.
The inset photo on the bottom portion shows the mass produced version of the doll as it was originally released.
Repaint is a new form of pop art, wherein the doll's face is treated like a three dimensional canvas, with the added challenge of painting within a very small area and an even greater challenge of recreating a real person's likeness. Since dolls are basically miniature pieces, brush strokes and shading have to be very controlled and precise.

I guessed who this was before clicking through to the deviation and totally got it right! If you can make me think the preview is a photo of Anne Hathaway in the actual film, then by gods you've done a good job!
I can't believe how good you are! The dolls look nothing like the actors before, and somehow after you're done with them it's very hard to distinguish these pictures from actual photographs! SO impressed!
This is really amazing.
