Super excited to create a doll for Esmerelda! She was my favorite to pose for the site photography and packout. The dress captured movement so well.

She lived on my desk for ages, I just love how she turned out
Probably my favorite lady out of them all, Megera. Another fan-fav I was super excited to design.

Belle has probably my favorite mask I designed, with Beast/lion themes and baroque elements.
Lots of roses and layers on Belle. The updo just didn't work out, but the dress rose executed great.
Mask sketch. Our sculptor absolutely blew me away with how he sculpted this mask
Rapunzel in her handerchief dress with 3D flowers and golden details

Cindy went through so many rejected ideas, but I do think the final concept feels very Cinderella-at-a-fancy-gala
one of the final dress iterations, and some mask sketches. I don't usually hand sketch, but I really wanted to work out something elegant for the masks, and hand sketches just felt right
Colourpop created a makeup line based upon the series, featuring the packaging artwork by our concept artist
Limited Edition pin set based on the mask designs
Japan exclusive designs for the Tsum Tsum game. I love seeing the dolls live on all across the company
