Handdrawn Contest VII

[Silver_Wolf_Kitty]

Okay, I've decided, and the contest is going to be an artist-inspired round.

Inspiration: John William Waterhouse
What you are to do is take one of his paintings and translate it into a doll. You can use backgrounds, props, etc from the painting. I just ask that you be accurate. I don't want interpretations, I'd like to see a translation from the painting to a doll. I don't think this will be a problem, but I really want to emphasize this because its important to me.

Nudity is permitted since I know he has several tasteful pictures with nudity(so, warning ahead to anyone who browses the below gallery). If you use nudity, try to cover it up with hair and the such or link out to your doll since its NSFW material.

When entering your doll, please include the link to the reference picture.

A very large gallery of his work can be found here:
John William Waterhouse: Comprehensive Painting Gallery of Artworks w Detail Descriptions, Location, Paintings Facts, and Poetry. « jwwaterhouse.com

I hope everyone enjoys this. I know he has a lot of work, so I think everyone can find some painting they enjoy.

Does the pose have to be exactly the same? I ask cuz I am having trouble finding a base that's exact.

I want to do the "Lilith by the stream" painting and I can't find one with her sitting down with her arms up.

I might do the mermaid... I like her. She is nude, though her arm blocks out most of the chest...

(I like old paintings from before the 20s, the women are more realistically proportioned... the 20s started the toothpick trend, unfortunately.)

Just to say, I'm out. XD Can't pixel old-fashioned worth my life, it's full of beautiful dresses and folds that make me want to scream. Not to mention, I rarely find anything inspiring.

^^ the dolls will be fun to look at, though, and I Look forward to seeing them.

[Silver_Wolf_Kitty]

Nope, you do not have to use the same pose. Just the same "character" from the painting I look forward to your entries!

Christy, you cop out xD I guess I'm too fond of the lovely dresses and folds.

Oh then that's better! I will try to make time to enter!

Finished mine; this was really difficult, especially the dress, but I tried to put the character in the painting into the doll. I hope I succeeded.

Question? When's the due date? I was hoping to get to my doll today, but no such luck. Maybe tomorrow if I'm lucky, lol.

I'll set it to the 20th, though that date might be extended due to the holidays. I don't want to rush anyone who intends on entering since I know I'm going to need the extra time as well probably for awards.

By the way, I glad some people entered. I was worried I bored you guys
