Buuuut it was so close that I decided to put a pin in her and come back to her at a later date, so here we are. I have to say, compared to the other remakes I've done, this one was hard. I think it's because the other ones I remade had obvious anatomical flaws, lighting issues, or just plain lack of detail that I was eager to correct. But that 2015 Jasmine pic still seems kind of...fine? To me? I don't know, I usually think my old stuff looks like garbage, so I guess it was refreshing in a way to find a piece of work I actually think has held up well, but it sure didn't make remaking it any easier. Fun fact: think she looks a bit like Lydia from my comics? No accident there, Jasmine inspired Lydia's appearance when I came up with her.
I heard recently that Disney is releasing a compilation of old video games for modern consoles, specifically containing the ones based off The Lion King and Aladdin from the 16-bit era. As an odd choice, the version of Aladdin featured isn't the chill platformer that was made for the Super Nintendo, a game that most kids could beat in an hour. No, they opted for the tough-as-balls Genesis version that could make grown men weep hot tears of rage with its magic carpet level alone.
To be fair, I understand they have included easy modes and rewind features to help younger players with the games included. And I do think that kids could enjoy Aladdin with a little boost to curb the challenge. But no amount of hand holding could make that Lion King game anything less than punishment from god. To this day, I get traumatic flashbacks of wasting an entire Friday night of my youth, roaring at purple monkeys in vain to a chiptune version of "Can't Wait to be King." A chilling account that need not be inflicted on a new generation if you ask me.

Thanks! I still like the warm colors of the original, but I think the blue works well here.

I think you improved on the nose in this version.

Lydia inspired by Jasmine? NEAT! I do notice a similarity in their noses, though Jasmine was very "typical Disney Princess, but with a straight nose" that pointed right down, while Lydia's was more curved. The warm skin tones look great, here! Remembering your one Reintalk about coloring, I'm seeing the "cold purple/blue" being used to offset the warm red & brown hues, and it looks really cool.

I didn't think you could improve on her either but you did an amazing job! And yes I do see Lydia in her. :D
