A character that really needs no introduction, Minnie Mouse is Mickey's long time love interest known for her sweet disposition, large head bows, and polka-dotted dresses. Minnie first appeared alongside Mickey in Disney's infamous Steamboat Willie short, released in November 1928 and has appeared in many Disney adaptations since, in film, TV and games.

I've chosen to model Minnie as in the picture above as I wanted a pose that represents her sweet and kind personality, I also not only want her to work as a standalone model but work alongside Mickey from the collection as well. I think this pose will fit perfectly alongside Mickeys similarly cute pose and the models will compliment each other really well.

Balancing her will probably be the trickiest part of this one, with her foot not being fully on the ground, so I may adjust this slightly in order to make the final model more stable, I'll also have to make slight changes here and there in order to make her 3D such as with her nose. Otherwise it should be relatively straight forward. I've already started working on the model so the WIP post will be out in a day or so to get the first look at Minnie so far!

Character trivia is below.

According to Walt Disney, Mickey and Minnie Mouse have never been married on screen. But, during an interview Walt said, "In private life, Mickey is married to Minnie... What it really amounts to is that Minnie is, for screen purposes, his leading lady."
Minnie's eyes are usually longer and wider than Mickey's, while her smile is slightly shorter and more closed than his.

Mickey, or Michael, means "the one who is like God", and Minnie or Minerva was the name of a Roman "goddess". This remarkable coincidence is likely unintentional.
