a while back mom said she only wanted me to doll her if i could find a base that resembled her body type. while i still haven't found it precisely, i found something a lot closer, so i'll be working on a surprise something for mom for the next while. xD i also found a new portrait base, so i'll be reworking a profile image too.

i find dolling to be the single most relaxing exercise in tedium i have ever endeavored. it takes hours of precision effort, and frequent saves to get a doll just how you want it. using a dollmaker is fun sometimes, but there's no element of customization at all. even if someone can't see the however many hours i put into making a doll, i look at it later and i can remember how much fun i had doing it, even the difficult ones. it's a lot cheaper than therapy too. xD i don't have anything new to post, but i think i have some of my old dolls floating around somewhere, and i'd love to share them with y'all.

this one's poison ivy (from Batman)

this was the result of a psychotic break where i decided doing an animation would be fun. boy was i wrong.. xD the mouth originally moved with the lyrics, but when i had to up the frame rate, she looked like she was having a stroke.

this is my current portrait, and one i did for nakuru on the same base a long time ago. before i learned how to alter skin tones or anything xD i did change some things between them though.

these were commisioned dolls on gaia, back from when i was first starting out. xD the blue one is Shadowcat (kitty pryde from the x-men in her lame-tastic 80s costume), followed by Troia (donna troy, the first wonder girl, wonder woman's little sister), and the last one is Power Girl (karen starr/kara zor-l an alternate-universe supergirl)

this one was my very first animation. the one that made me think i could totally handle that other one xD blowing a kiss = easy to do, sparkles? cakewalk! timing scrolling lyrics? not worth the effort.

my very first portrait doll. in some ways far more awesome than the later one
