At last, he is finished! My repaint of the Disney Bruno Madrigal doll is complete, and I'm so happy with how it turned out. Let's go over the flaws of the original, and how I fixed them. Remember, this is my repaint, and my interpretation. If you choose to do this yourself, feel free to veer off from what I did. Just have fun with it!
Now don't get me wrong, the head mold looks incredible! I really do love it, I just wish they hadn't given him such a dead stare, lol.
I mean, his eyes aren't even brown! One can argue all day long, but comparing his to that if his sister Pepa makes it quite obvious that he has green eyes. The eye bags are also tragically understated, lol.
It took so many layers of white to make them opaque and smooth enough for my perfectionism. Ngl, he kinda looks possessed XD
Who said doll customizing was always graceful? If Dollightfull has taught me anything, it's that this kind of project is... interesting.
Here's what the clothes looked like before. As you can see, lackluster at best. The sandals were also just a plain gray color.
I painted them brown, and also added the triangle design on the straps. (Also my signature on the bottom!)
Here are the clothes now! As you can see, I added buttons with globs of paint, a breast pocket, and a belt to the pants. This gives the illusion that the shirt is tucked into the pants, rather than it being one piece. The only change I made to the poncho was cutting the tassels, which made a big difference.
And here's the head and face! I painted a more realistic hairline, connected the facial hair print to the hairline, and added details to the beard. I completely repainted the eyes, and added blushing where needed. I also deepened the purple tones beneath his eyes.
Here he is, completely finished! I had fun with this, it was an interesting change. I'm also much happier with this than the original; he looks much closer to the movie version. Let me know what you think!

Yes, bats are not rodents, but this is such a cute idea! 🦇
Bruno is holding a great fruit-eating bat (Artibeus lituratus), a species of bat living in most of Latin America. It belongs in the same family as the vampire bat (subfamily Desmodontinae) and the spectral bat (Vampyrum spectrum), the largest carnivorous bat in the world.
I'm also experimenting with giving Bruno a deeper tan.

Bruno and baby Mirabel taking a nap in the sun?
Slight TW: self harm scars.
Maybe its just because I've spent so long looking at it but I'm not completely sure on the colours? I think I'm coming around to it tho, Idk artist things. I really enjoyed colouring it tho x
This took 3 days and I barely took any breaks, this drawing was hypnotising me, my eyes hurt 😭😭😭
Also heres lil Mirabel’s headband before it got covered by Bruno’s hand, I just liked the butterfly motiffff:
Kinda sad that her baby hairs ended up being covered🥺🥺🥺

I have to mention, that the moment Bruno told Mirabel to come visit later...
...It broke my heart into pieces 💔, because it meant he "wanted" to STAY INSIDE THE WALLS ANYWAY.
Even if everything about miracle and Mirabel would turn out alright...🕯️
...It didn't matter anymore.
He truly believed there is no place for him in his family and it's better to never come back.

Back when I just watched Encanto... Of course the little rat man was somehow relatable (because of the rats. I mean, the guy was sitting there in the walls of the house, drawing, making parkour for rodents and giving them cheese)

Disney you had one job.
WTF is this?? MS paint looking mf, they call this, what, a tassel texture??
All I had to do was cut it, and it looks so much better! Doll companies, take note! It's the little things.
Also, why the hecc did they paint his underwear white?? That just makes it so much more awkward... Which wouldn't be a problem if the clothes didn't look like...well...
Oh, honey...
Yeah, that fit needs some work, lol.
