Adoptable Dolls
{ base }
I had this doll sitting around for so long, fully shaded, but I just couldn't decide on the colors. I'm still not totally happy with them (sometimes I hate picking colors) but apart from the colors I think it's mostly cute, so here it is. Yes I recycled the background :\
{ base }
Tuvok, THE BLACK VULCAN!, from Star Trek: Voyager. Really like this doll for some reason, maybe it's the skin palette.
{ base }
Seven of Nine, also from Voyager. Love her! OK geeky confession: I want to dress as her for Halloween next year :3
{ base }
This one started off as a doll based on an opal (hence the skin), and ended up a Rudy-Rucker-esque '70s pulp sci-fi babe. Not gonna lie, I love plain B+W anti-aliased together! Though I should have done another level of AA.
{ base }
I was inspired to do this doll by Blossom's lovely avs on this base, I used her hair tutorial for a fun departure from my normal style. I think it turned out appealing, though I don't look that childish in reality!

Part of a collab (click to see full collab; I designed the paneling stuff behind) with Lorraine, Amy-Lynn, and Steph. The theme was murdering flappers, so here is my dame toting a derringer.
{ base }
Part of a collab (click to see full collab; balcony by me) with my sis Lorraine, the theme was sexy Disney princesses. This is Belle, being the classy to Aurora's trashy ;) I KID!
{ base }
Doll of myself for the WTM forum group picture. Hopefully representing some dubious improvement over last year's.
{ base }
I did this doll of Pink, the Pink Blush forum mascot, as part of an activity there. Snore, nothing special.
{ base }
Portrait of the character below. The moon is a color-reduced photo. Even though this is a really pretty base, I have seen so many terrible dolls on it, it will never be the same to me :\
{ base }
A character I made up, theoretically for an RPG. The thing on her face is a Gorbachev-style (haha) birthmark, the thing on her body is a sideless surcote.
{ base }
Another one of me, because I am narcissistic like that. Background is a color-reduced photo. The point of this doll is a long story, but suffice it to say that I think the Ivy League is a bunch of whited sepulchers.
{ base }
A doll of the Pink Blush forum mascot, Pink, for a contest there. The idea was to give her a new look. Well, this is definitely a new one for Pink.
{ base }
A doll of me as the Assyrian goddess Ishtar (yes, like the Ishtar Gate). Why? I don't know, but it's totally awesome. Base is a Pink Blush forum exclusive.
{ base }
Doll of me (which doesn't look like me because I have longer hair than that) for the Pink Blush grand opening collab. The premise was a cocktail party; I've never been to a cocktail party (SHAME!) but apparently I think it is approximately the same as the 1939 World's Fair?
{ base }
Extremely boring re-do of a previous doll, in order to make it go as an av with the doll above. I thought it was worth posting just for the intense necklace, though.
{ base }
Likenesses of my best friend. They don't do justice to his adorableness, but it's a start. I did a corresponding female face, so I may give them torsos and release as bases.
{ base }
A couple of calypso players, much inspired by the great Mighty Sparrow. I love calypso!
{ base }
Portrait to go with the doll below, because I felt the need for a new av/sig set. The stars around her head are the constellation Scorpio.
{ base }
Scorpio doll (my star sign, NOT that I believe in astrology thanks). Note the chitinous dress.
{ base }
UNFINISHED! I started this doll for the Miss Doll Europe contest, but then realized that I would have to use the same full-body base for three other dolls, which would not be very practical. My inspiration promptly died. But it's almost done and I like it so far, so here it is, until I finish it (if ever).
{ base }
Random Elegant Gothic Lolita princess, from rather long ago. I never could get the background to turn out quite right, but I kind of like her anyway.
{ base outline }
George W. Bush as a Tokyo (er, Washington?) Mew Mew. Look, he's even doing the cat-paw gesture with his left hand! The mouse is supposed to be saying "Jorujo Myu Myu" even though I freely admit I do not know Japanese and just copied it off Wikipedia. Bush caricature head is by me.
p.s. I don't even dislike Bush (though he does spend my money as though he's got into the catnip), I just like dressing up politicians as catgirls.
{ base }
For a collaboration at WTM?! I love this base :D
{ base }
Jack Aubrey, of Patrick O'Brian's seafaring novel series, playing the violin and thinking on his fiancee, Sophie.
{ base }
This is me after a ton of midterms and problem sets. Alternatively if you read the t-shirt as saying "WAR" instead of the intented "WPR", this is me after nuking the entirety of Europe. Yes, I am a mad scientist in training.
{ base }
Awwwwww yeah. Dita von Teese style.
{ base }
Back to school! Testing out some textures & dithers.
{ base }
Retro style avatar. *sigh* Nostalgia for L.A.! Vaguely inspired by the style of Shag.
{ base }
Muffin, the WTM mascot, as a pixel princess. Fear her ability to generate muffins spontaneously from an oven!
{ base }
The original "pixel princess" design.
{ base }
Yay :D I use these as an av and sig. I think they came out great. But then I was very inspired in making them.
{ base }
Also yay!
{ base }
A little doll of myself for the WTM group shot. I think the outfit looks like a medieval person dressing up as an ancient Greek.
{ base }
Myself in nautical-inspired clothing for a pageant at WTM. I really like the hair on these for some reason.
{ base }
This just might be the only pre-Vatican-II-Catholic themed doll in the entire world. For a contest.
{ base }
A random gal in a Star Trek outfit. I've just gotten into Star Trek.
{ base }
Avatar for Tequila Sunrise forums. The hair shading on this one utterly stumped me, and the glasses look nothing like mine.
{ base }
For a base edit contest. I did not understand the concept of a base edit contest and spent all this time turning him into a boy and editing his face, etc. Then I saw that the entries were all actual dolls x_x so I slapped some hair on them, but by the time I'd gone and made him a boy I didn't really want to put clothes on him, so I gave them both lame swimsuits. Well, at least the sand is good. Needless to say I did not win anything.

Agatha Heterodyne, spunky heroine of my favorite comic, Girl Genius. I now hate everything except the blouse, but Agatha is such a great character, it had to be finished.
{ base }
Self-portrait on my first ever base. The hair outline is especially awful and the shorts are bad too, but I was pretty proud of the face I made for this base.
{ base }
One of my first ones, but I still like it. I found this hair palette kind of by accident and then became addicted to it for a while. I still love ultra-contrasty palettes like this.
