Something New *My Hand Drawns*

[LancasterPrincess]

Thanks girls! Okay, here's my newest Miss TDP entry...but I'm also including the ORIGINAL which is WAY better, lol. Please comment and critique as this is one of my more complicated dolls!

Base: Small Sunshine
Reference Pics: X and Y
I used Photoshop to create the swirl and text.

And of course I had to glitter the original. What? Moon dust is supposed to be sparkly! xD

Honestly, I don't know what all this nonsense about not loving your color splash doll is; she's GORGEOUS and screams "Nyx/Night Goddess/etc." too me. I LOVE what you did with that moon, and that was an excellent text selection. I must say, though, I much prefer the dark hair to the lighter one; personal preference, I suppose. Darker hair just seems to go more with my perception of "night." I love the purple in her dress, and the way it sparkles.

The only thing I'm worried about for you is how much color there is in the B&W doll...I can tell it's still color splash, but it's almost reverse color splash since you have so much color spread all over the doll. It's still incredibly aesthetically pleasing, though. Honestly, if you glittered the non color one, I'd probably say it was my favorite, minus the lack of purple dress, lol.

Oh shoot you're right, I should have probably specified my color splash reasoning:

I color splashed the Moon Dust. Her crown, and stones on her dress are made of moon dust from the swirly part of the moon. She's a moon goddess, so her eyes glow the color of the moon. Sorry! xD

I adore this doll especially as it is fantasy based which everyone knows is my thing, I personally prefer the coloured version, I love the moon, I have one similar that you made for me and of course the glitter sets the whole thing off nicely.
I really dont want to plant any seeds of negativity but I think that you would have gotten a better effect with just a small "Splash" of colour rather then the amount that is there, Is there too much colour? well thats for the judges to decide, Brilliant work!.... especially on that gorgeous dress

[LancasterPrincess]

Thanks! Idk, I guess I just figured I was color splashing a general item rather than a specific part. Since it's all made of Moon Dust it just didn't make sense that all the items derived from it's magical properties didn't glow? Plus I see color splash art all the time with Amy's blog, rarely ever is just one itty bitty part colored, but rather a general object. (Like a baseball player in a black and white field, or an entire flower in a bouquet, not just the baseball players shirt or the flowers petals.)

But, who knows, maybe general themed splashes aren't what the judges want to see, and y'all could very well be right and my doll sunk xD

And btw, making the moon I made you was WAY easier than this one, lol. But I really wanted a large impressive prop since my last entry lacked any at all. And zomg, I was tha-rilled with how the dress turned out. I've never done so many ruffles before on such a scale. I was quite nervous and had a Plan B just in case, lol.

Baseless doll, I drew it a long time ago.

Haven't done this in a LONG TIME, so go easy on me, lol. It was made for
Hayley's Circus Contest.

Glad someone's entering.

She's cute - I love the way you pixel dresses. ^_^

[LancasterPrincess]

Thank you!

Okay, new doll, though I'm more than a little disappointed with it, but I'm blaming Google. I could not, for the life of me, find reference pics for scenery and props for the level of the game I wanted.

Base: An edit of my own Mudflap Girl base.

Ever played Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Old Door? No? You haven't LIVED until you've played that game IMO, EOS.

Yeah, she's a plain doll, but come on, the hat IS AWESOME, right? I'm in love with how the hat turned out!

[owl_3]

Super cute! It's really very neat how even the quality of your simpler dolls are exceptional.

[LancasterPrincess]

Okay, new dollie. I'm really super proud of this one too. I've never done such wind-swept hair before!

Base & Contest

This is Zoey the Papillon. Her mother got her all fancied up for her best friends Butterfly Birthday Bash! Zoey is super excited to go to the party, and you can see she's just quivering with anticipation, lol.

Okay, a Papillon is a toy dog breed known for their small stature and signature butterfly shaped ears.
They. Are. Gorgeous.
They come in a variety of colors, but my favorite is the White and Red Sable, see Emma's pictures.

There are a few things I'd like to point out. Firstly, all the colors I used (minus the butterfly colors). They are the colors of the White and Red Sable Papillon. They have white bodies with red and black spots (thus the white shirt/socks and black skirt/shoes) The hair is reddish-brown, and tipped with black, just like their ears. Papillons have only brown doey eyes. Also, I included face paint for a reason: Papillons are known for their mask.

Also, I was making a reference to the personality of a Papillon as well. They are VERY loving and excited creatures. What could be more loving and excited than a little girl, all glammed up and ready to party?
