Her movie interests me a lot; I used to watch a Russian (?) Snow Queen animation when I was a kid, and it was one of my favourites so I'm very eager to see what Disney does with the subject.
The only reference picture I could find seems mostly just a concept art so she might look different in the finished movie, which might mean that I'd have to redraw her (unless I end up hating the character). Or I could also find a picture of her in a white princess dress, but that was even more messy and impossible for me to use for a project like this, so I depending on how much I like the character I may have to pokemonify the white dress as well.
Her outfit had a lot of details, but I still wasn't exactly sure what to do with it. The winter setting hinted towards a warm outfit, which was less common for this project when almost everyone has summer clothes. I still didn't want to go for a full winter coat, which now that I think of it might still have been a better choice. The Platinum designs for the player characters do have a warm winter clothes after all (or of course the girl still has to go around in a miniskirt for fanservice).
I like how the hat turned out. It's not exactly what I had in mind, but it's still a lot better than just copying the one the original design has (first idea) or giving her the same hat I gave for Aurora (second idea). And this time I could even justify the leg warmers I really wanted to use for any character in PokePrincesses 4 (but luckily didn't, they didn't look good on any of them). The pocket could work a bit better and I might have been able to stuff a pokeball design somewhere but I still like how the buttons turned out.
The original outfit had purple as well, but it made my version look too messy so I recoloured the purple bits either black or blue. In the end I really like the colourscheme, but to be fair it's pretty easy to stand out positively with a calm colourscheme to me in this project when everything else has bright colours.
At first my design had a lot more detail, such as a bow on her back, more lines on the hat and dress, stripes on the leg warmers and more red on the pocket, but I'm really glad I had enough sense in me to tone it down a bit. Overall I'm pretty pleased with the outcome.
Does she really have freckles?
