Is the hair pixelled or tool-shaded? It's hard to tell. XD

I love the outfit. ^^ The leg warmers look weird though. Grr... I hate when I can't pin-point why... -.-

The leg warmers are, like, shiny. XD

As for the hair, I guess it's half tooled. i made three layers, shaded the hair first brown(roots), then blonde(main), then red(tips), then made them sorta faded translucent, if that makes any sense.

In other words, I reshaded the hair three times, then managed a fading effect for the brown and red through layers. I didn't use the softening tool, just the opacity brush/background eraser (background eraser also makes pics transparent.)

I absolutely love the tutu! I can't wait to be able to doll like you. Everytime I look at a good doll, I kind of get motivated to do more, if you know what I mean! So, you've motivated me. Welldone O.O The leg warmers do look slightly misplaced and shiny, but apart from that it's brilliant

Thankees, and I blame the pallette... sorta. I think I should've chosen a more mild pallette for that shading style, so it's a mix...

I finished my bases, but am experiencing some techincal difficulty...

They shall be up as soon as my comp cooperates!

OMG! BASE DONE!
About time, I spent like a month on it.

Different ethnicities/skin types/ creatures coming eventually.

ENJOY!

Note on reshading eyes: I used two pallettes. A dark for the dark fo the pupil, and a lighter color from the same pallette for the main color. The rest of the eye is from the darker pallette, except for the white on the light spot.

CC is excepted, just don't be too harsh on me...
