Madeline - Classic Blue

"In an old house in Paris, that was covered in Vine
Lived Twelve little girls, in two straight lines.
They left the house at half-past-nine
In two straight lines, in rain or shine.
The Smallest one was Madeline."

If you don't know Madeline, you should either not be bothered to read this, or learn. First published in 1939, Madeline was created by Austrain author Ludwig Bemelmans and he wrote.. well.. 7 stories, though the 7th is kinda fairly new in the way it was first released in 1999, after being lost for a long time and only found well after his death. Like the other girls, Madeline does have parents, and is at the bording school of Miss Clavel (not a nun)...

anyway.. This image is kinda based on my fusion a bit of my own style with the original artwork from the books and her DIC 80s/90s animation model. She is often shown in one of two dresses, so i might release a few tweaks on this image. I'm not 100% happy with it, i must admit, cause i think some of it looks flat.. but that is kinda correct to the source refences ^_^

Anyway. I like Madeline and that's all there is. There isn't, any more.
