Finally! These have taken a while to come out. But, they are finally available at the Disney Store. After almost not making it into our “Brave” assortment, the nesting dolls ended up getting made after all! A lot of work went into these, so I am glad to see them out just in time for the film release. Pixar was very open to the stylization of the characters that I came up with and had no notes for me on that. I drew them in a style very much my own that I thought would work for this medium. Having never worked on nesting dolls before , I wasn’t quite sure what I was getting myself into. Elinor proved to be the most challenging since you need to see her back and doesn’t have all the hair that Merida has.  Mum bear was much easier, since she appears in bear form. The triplets and bear cubs one pice of art “wrapped” around the form since there are multiple characters. All in all I think the challenge was a fun one. And knowing that I never had to change my art style was even more exciting! There is some fun storytelling going on here if you are familiar with the story. Hopefully you enjoy this unique piece of “Brave” product. Get them while you can , they are a limited edition of 2500 pieces!
