Bases: Freaks

I'm not terribly happy with this particular contest sample doll (from my Into the Scene contest), but it was a rush job at a time when the thought of dolling made me a bit queasy. Like the sunhat, though.

Base: Apitchou

Yet another example of setting out to make a quick contest example doll and being pleasantly surprised by the result. I think this was also the first time I was inspired by my own contest . . . which was someone else's idea, so there you go. Anyway, this is a modern girl wearing a Victorian hat. I really like that hat and kind of wish it existed in real, non-dolly life. I think this is one of the few times where an outfit design concocted totally in my head didn't come out looking totally alien and bizarre. Woot normalcy!

Base: PoppedArtDolls

Grab your glasses (and maybe a microscope while you're at it)! Erm . . . yes. This started out as a gift for a friend. I wanted to make him an LJ custom icon mood set, but once I had created the outline, I realized it was waaaaay too small to include any sort of facial variation, which kind of defeats the point of an icon mood set. Still - and I know this is tres weird - this is the only base (and yes, I use that term loosely) I've created that I've liked. Yup, all 145 pixels of it. Anyway, these are just teeeeny representations of me and a few friends, with the intended recipient on the far left.

Base: Mad Tea Party (site closed)

This is my "Inspired by Valentine's Day" doll. I know it sounds a tiny bit cynical, but I think a more natural accessory would be a chainsaw. :)

Base: Ami-Nomiko

Another base I've always wanted to use, part II. I was pretty happy with him after the hair and shirt, but there was something missing. That something turned out to be emo glasses. Every girl needs a broody emo guy around to whine about boys pour her heart out to, doesn't she?

Base: Appledore Isle

Another oddoll. He was created for a masculine vision contest, and therefore had to display a number of pre-selected items. I bee-lined for a young and modern mad scientist look. He's trying to bring a sock monkey to life. As we all do, sometimes.

Base: Eclectic Blue

This guy was created for a contest I decided to enter 8 hours before the deadline. Yes. Well. It was a pageant-type contest and I feel asleep before I could get the other two done. Pity, cause I think this third of the project turned out rather well.

Base: Wayuki's Place

I created this for a "Doll clothes from the latest J-Lo fashion show" challenge. And challenge it was. At first I was all snorky about the odd-looking styles, but in the end I decided that I really, really, reeeely want this jacket.

Base: Rebel Scum (site closed)

Created for my first ever challenge at EE. This is supposedly my alter ego. She does things I never do, namely wears make-up and puts effort into her hair, wears sexy, fashionable clothes, and most importantly, she walks softly and carries a big stick.

Base: Sanity Challenged

Have you ever seen such a tiny layout doll? She's one of the few reminders of my first ever colour scheme. I called it "wine", but I'm sure it will go down in history as, "Burgandy, pink and red?! Why do you hate my retinas so?!"

Base: Neyuki (site down)

The one on top was created for a candy doll contest at FF. I chose to represent Bazooka Joe bubblegum. Full of sugary sweet nostalgia, I went on to create two colour edits, so now you have Original Flavour, Green Apple Flavour, and Grape Flavour.

Base: SugarCream

This is me, age 5, in my ballerina powder puff costume. I can't remember if I liked ballet lessons back then, but the mere idea stupefies me now.

Base: Dollz by MBladez

An example for my failed Doll A Flag contest, this is a pseudo-cheerleading outfit inspired by my city's flag.

Base: PoppedArtDolls

A base test for my first base ever (Oly). Why a karate outfit? Why not?

Base: lunajile

I can't stop using this base! This started out as Ryan from The O.C., but ended up not looking anything like him. I still like him, though more in a misc. sort of way.

Base: Pinkland

Completely random, early-dolling-career creation. What's up with the crazy mullet head? I have no idea.
