So cute! Looking forward to this!

Check out this face painting on my granddaughter. We went on a trip to NYC and this face painting was done at FAO Schwartz. She was over the moon!

Awww, she's adorable Lisa. The face painting looks lovely on her, and I like that butterfly shaped mirror. :)

I couldn't stop looking at how beautiful and magical she looked. She didn't want to ever take it off! LOL

Thank you so much for your offer to do that Lisa. After I saw your picture of your Granddaughter, I went out to Photoshop and I have a WIP. I did not have a clear jewel texture ready made for her forehead but I used an amethyst. Of course this is not an exact replica but more inspired by your image.

Here is a test render of the WIP. Critiques and suggestions are welcome.

Looks great! Wow that was fast! Nice!

I happened to already be working on Polly today, so I had her PSD open and my Poser open with Polly already loaded and dressed with hair. So I added on a few more layers in photoshop and started painting. I am trying to keep the face painting look. I did the render small and quick so that it would not take long to bake. It is still a WIP, so I will be tweaking this to give a little more depth to the paint, but as I said, any suggestions are always welcome.

Okay, so I stayed up late last night and have been working since first thing this morning. Here are the other five options. These are WIPS. I will still do some tweaking and fixing here and there on these. I have a fairy paint option, a ladybug, a frost option, a tiger and of course, I had to add a bee!
