Just got the best necklace ever!!!

Yup. I bought it on Etsy about 11 days ago, and finally got it today. I'm talking about my Deathly Hallows necklace! Take a look:

Ok. I need to calm down. Why did I even make a post about this?

P.S I know my hand is sort of burned, I accidentally touched a burning hot stove yesterday. :D
P.P.S Remember I made a similar necklace in one of my drawings?

A little preview

I forgot to add this in my last post, but here is a sneak peek of what I'm working on right now. The main focus of this is a tattoo (mentioned in my previous post) that I have just started working on.
This is made 100% by me. Do you like it so far?

Rapunzel gone hipster :D

This is something I made when I was really bored in my Tangled obsession period (if you visited my Stardoll account recently, you might have noticed Pascal the chameleon sitting on my shoulder).

I don't have much experience with editing, it's very different from drawing something yourself because you need to match the style of the original picture. I think it ended up quite well considering it was my first time, but what do you think?

Here's a version in black and white:
I think it looks better, but you can't see the colours which was part of the editing.
And here is the original image so you can compare:
At first it looks like I only changed the clothes and gave Pascal a hat, but there are many small details too. For example, the arm is barely visible on the original picture so I had to draw one myself, and as I said before, try to use the same style of shading. Did I succeed?
Pascal had to be moved down, because the original sleeve is puffy. I also tried to make the hair ombre and adding a green stripe. I don't really like the stripe, it has a weird shape, but other than that it didn't turn out too bad.
The tattoo is a mix of the magic flower and the kingdom flag, which I have been practicing on in the last few weeks. I can draw it much better now, and it will probably come out in a tattoo in my new drawing (spoiler alert!).
By the way, the t-shirt is something I found on Polyvore (and instantly fell in love, but it's way too expensive for me to buy).

Soo, what do you think about this edit? Don't be afraid to comment with your opinion, I don't bite! :D
