Not sure that taking this drawing as a ref is a good idea ^^. Anyway, it could be cool to do a voluptuous girl instead of a thin girl. Especially if you don't want that she looks like the Disney one. A lil bit fat goth Tinkerbell with nice boobs and butt ^^.

Wow that Vinni Puh is awesome. I never liked the disney Pooh bear as a kid, so boring and dull, interaction between characters seemed slow and lifeless, etc... This on the other hand is really fun, I love his little song at the end haha.
