Mulan!

Mulan has been the biggest challenge out of all the dolls I made for my Disney project. Originally I thought it would be impossible to create a Mulan using the dollpalace.com doll makers. When I thought that to be the case, I found the following doll, which, while made by someone else, at least fit a part of the image I was looking for, and would give me something to post.
But, once I found an Asian robe at the dollpalace.com, I created a Mulan to the best of my ability. That is what you see on the bottom left. But, I still felt the doll didn't look much like Mulan, so I edited her in paint (the only picture manipulating program I have since my computer crashed 4 months ago). I made her face thinner, her eyes a bit more almond shaped, and of course, I gave her a piece of hair falling into her eyes (that's a telltale Mulan thing :p). All in all, I am immensely proud of this doll. (I know it sounds stupid, but hey, I devoted a ridiculous amount of my time, my life, to this project. So good for me. *I pat myself on the back*)

Yes, I do agree. It looks more like Mulan, and, as I've said, I was very proud of this accomplishment(?).
