This doll is inspired by one of my favorite movie characters - Miranda Priestly as portrayed by Meryl Streep 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 the character and the subtle nuances of lifelike expression.
The inset photo on the bottom portion show 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.
