New Design:)

ohhh britty...yours is a dinosaur and that is a dragon. not a copy. oh funny!

That dragon is cool, too!

I know, I KNOW, I totally believe you. I had one design that I was SO very proud of - my first awesome original. The one that everyone would forever and always say "oh that was Barbie's design"! Ha ha, sure enough once I googled it, there was others just like it. And I swear I was so sure no one else had ever thought of anything like that

Enjoy your design just the same - it is very rare, and quite awesome!

Your dino is awesome! Any boy would love to have it. Those claws and that tongue... Spot on!

Yes, it looks like Ginas design see http://www.snazaroo.us/09/9dinosaur.htm. But still great design, love the blood detail =)

too too too funny - and makes a great point!!!

btw - love both of them! well done.

I still cant believe it....lol... well i guess ill have to do another...

That's neat! Reminds me of this:

Britty. I absolutely love the picture of your daughter's fairy wings. I love how she is outside too! That is where Fairies belong.

Your photography is superb. Really helps make your designs pop.

Thank you everyone! It really helps that you're all so positive, because I really was so proud and than to see that after all the work of drawing it up, and really going all out...it's not even that original...Thank you manabanana...she wouldn't sit against my back drop so we had to go out in the field behind my house lol...I like the turn out better anyway:)

OMG...it is too original. Grrrrr. Dinosaur bite for thinking it's not.

I think the point is that there are always similarities at the root of face painting designs and we build upon those. The Mona Lisa was a picture of a lady...but DaVinci's talent is what made it an original.

So there is a dinosaur over the eyes somewhere out there...but your talent is what makes it original. The details you added, the way you placed it, your painting sensibilities.

Own it woman!

D.

HaHa! It really is hard to come up w/ a true original design! I love the design anyway!

Great job! Yours is clearly a T-rex and the other is a dragon. Not the same! It is like comparing a lily and a daisy. They are both a flower, and white, but different. Yours is super duper, and I agree with the others, OWN IT!

I really like it, although I think it might even be better (and faster) withouut the head and just the claws on the eys. Great job, very nice!
