Paper Ford (Deuce) at the Fairy Nail Salon

A commission for @cell113​ of their cool OC, Deuce – a paper copy of researcher Ford from the magic copier machine! 

I’d long wanted to do something with the Fairy Nail Salon (seen in the Journal and mentioned briefly in The Last Mabelcorn), and thought it would be fun to do with Deuce.  Cell113 has put a LOT of thought into this “Paper Ford AU” idea, and it’s really fun.  For protective purposes, most of the clothes that you see Deuce wearing here are real clothes (not the copied ones), and they’re meant to protect him from contact with the kind of liquids that would dissolve him – things like the trench-coat, and the wellington boots.  He also typically wears surgical-type gloves (seen on his left hand), but nail polish doesn’t threaten him, so he’s taken the glove off his right hand so the fairies can do their thing. :)

You can read more about Deuce at Cell113′s Paper Ford AU tag.  :)

Am largely pleased with how this came out, and it was certainly a lot of fun to work on.  Of course, the idea that the Fairy Nail Salon hut is mushroom-themed is my own elaboration on the idea. (If it really was, I’m sure Ford would have sketched it that way in the Journal!)  Likewise, while the fairies are slightly based on the one really good look at a (squashed) fairy in DD&MD, I’m way more indebted here for the design ideas to the Disney Tinkerbell and friends series.

Thanks so much to Cell113, for your patience, and letting me work on your guy!
