Tonner 2010 Scarlett Portrait doll
A photoshopped Tonner Scarlett
I was viewing the Tonner 2010 version of the Scarlett Portrait and got some comments about the hairstyle. Yes! The rolls are too way up and the factory paint does no justice to the sculpt. I also think the sculpt could have been more slender, more sleek and more feminine in jawline. I think the nose is too large and the lips too thin for a Scarlett pout. This dress is perhaps one of the most glamorous that the character has worn in the film and yet not seen. I was told it is the same "dove" dress the actress wears during her honeymoon sans doves (which I think is very Galliano). I did some photoshop which is actually much more fun than repainting. Make a mistake and just press Control + Z and its undone. 
You can also choose colors, fix the shading, contour well and yes, come up with a sculpt and face to ones' personal liking. Just playing around on a Friday night.



Scarlett O' Hara: Blue Velvet Portrait Gown

Posted by KentrunK Thursday, January 22, 2009 0 comments
The mysterious blue portrait gown in Rhett Butler's room. 
It makes a cameo in Gone with the Wind, where Rhett throws a glass at the portrait.  

One of the gowns done by Franklin Mint, which is briefly seen in the movie - and not even worn by the actress, only in a painting in Rhett Butler's room. The blue velvet done is rich and soft. I love the way this dress drapes when photographed; also the way it reflects light. It is not made to fit the Tonner Scarlett doll but since the doll is articulated it gives life to this beautiful dress. The sleeves are filled with soft sponge-y material to give it that puffed up look. It comes with blue shoes and a pearl tiara which the doll is not wearing here. Franklin Mint also gave this ensemble a shawl which is faithful to the way the shawl looks on the painting. It is however, very, very fragile. One tug and you can destroy this little accessory. The Franklin Mint Blue Velvet gown is very rare. I was lucky to have found it securely tagged in Ebay -- and bidded for it till the wee hours of the morning. I hope you enjoy the portraits as much as I did making them. Here it is worn by my most cooperative subject, my repainted Tonner Scarlett O' Hara doll.
