Creature Doll! Armored Beauties ready for Adventure

Thanks @petiteballerine and @skyealloway.

I think her eyes are seated incorrectly. I had a lot of trouble placing the left eye--for some reason it won't align with the right. The result is the pupils appear to be different sizes. I'm not sure why her color looks different this time. Different background? Different wig color and style? No dress to distract and/or throw off the color? Much as I hate to hide her elf ears, she does look better in this photo. I'm crocheting a dress, which I have to try on her after every other row to make sure it will fit, which is why she's undressed in the photo.

 

These eyes are a charm, they gave her a sweeter look, without softning her top much. Congrtas on the gorgeus doll.

 

Just because it decided to be sunny today:

 

I had such fun painting my elf Karin the other day, wanting rather dark, stern looking eyebrows. but, I didn't want angry battling caterpillar brows.
so...back to the drawing board. literally, since I use that set flat to paint on.

 

Karin has a new wig--an Evelyn by Monique Gold. It's one of the wigs that Facets by Marcia has labeled as "Clearance" so I have a feeling it will disappear as Marcia's stock runs out.

 

I'm in love with my stern, strong, wonderful Elven girl!
She says her name is Lynn'a and she's a Dalish Elf. (I'm playing Dragon Age Origins for the umpteenth time)
the right side of her face has tattoos. better pics soon.
I adore this blue outfit.
I'm not sure if she's going to shred the work in my studio or she's just sharpening that sword. maybe she's impatient for me to finish painting it?
or maybe that wig needs some hot water styling?
yes, ma'am, at your service.

Ooh! I love Karin with bright red lips. You did a great job with the face-up, @petiteballerine. Can't wait to see close-ups.

 

love that wig @skyealloway !
I found a brown-streaked blonde wig for Lynn'a that I like.
her eyes are a bit big, but the small iris/pupil ones I have in 8mm are too small. too stare-y.
at least she's easy to fit shoe-wise.
Now, I need to darken her facial tatts a bit and bedazzle her dagger.

Amazing wig, @skyealloway ! What kind of yarn is it? How did you manage to comb it out?

 

@skyealloway - yes, she has a diamond on one earlobe and a dark stud on the tip of her other ear. tacky glue.
her dagger will be blinged out with tacky glue too. holds well and is easily removed.
I even painted her companion. (Batchix Dark Elf in peachskin)
pics when I get time to pose them in some nice light.

 

@skyealloway - I think I have some yarn labeled "homespun". I haven't used it for anything, but now I'll definitely cut a piece and see how well it frays. Thanks!

Finished a new dress for Lucia. The bodice is crochet; the skirt is perhaps challis--it was a remnant, the label is gone--cut into a simple square. Easy peasy!

 

Thank you!

 

I don't know if you've seen, but creature doll has announced that they're closing due to poor sales.

 

I am so sad with the recent announcement ;__; I really want a Lucia, but... I just was too shy to order her since I was worried about her looking very pinheaded next to my other dolls. Awhile back Vermont Chick did some lovely comparisons of Creature Doll's girls next to a Withdoll Angela and Egon, which I really appreciate, but does anyone have any dolls such as Souldoll, Unoa, etc. in the msd scale they can show side-by-side with a Creature Doll girl for me as well? Angela is on the small side so I am worried she might look good but the rest won't.... Egon looks a bit off for my tastes, which makes me a little worried since I also have a Souldoll Ariana and Junia, with plans for some Unoas, but... since we can still email to put in a full payment order, well... I just thought I'd ask since I don't want to regret not getting Lucia and digging more into it.

I'm so sad that we're losing Creature Doll, though. They are some of the prettiest doll's I've seen. I hope they keep making dolls later on in some capacity.
