Gods & Monsters Characters

@Brightfires, I've not heard of this author, but now I'm curious. Thanks, and Shonokin is gorgeous! You always have the most amazing outfits for your dolls.

@Anneko what a cutie! If it wasn't summer here, I'd say she was making all the rain we're having.


@maykoh, what a phenomenal pair!

Thank you very much!

 

If you can find a copy...

... is a good place to start when it comes to Wellman. That's a collection of his Silver John stories.

This one...

... is one of the Silver John novels, and playing the role of antagonist? A Shonokin fellow named Brooke who is *absolutely* Up To No Good. And who learns a very valuable lesson a little too late. (*coughs* That being "Never proposition an angry witch who's carrying a shotgun".)

 

Do any of you have dolls that are modded and/or sculpted to look like a God/Goddess or a Cryptid/Monster?
Not yet

If you don't but you are planning on getting/modding one, which one? Why?

I really love Ancient Mesopotamia and it would be a dream of mine to have a pantheon of Babylonian deities. I don’t have any specific sculpts in mind for this yet, but I feel like they all need to have tan skin or fantasy skin, depending on which one it is. They’d all have to be really big too, preferably 75-80cm. Soom Mecha Angels and Souldoll’s Tera-Zeniths both felt so majestic and ethereal when they were around and are the kind of vibe I’d want to have for them.

 

I don’t know if it counts as mythological or literary that I’m shelling characters from Paradise Lost. Paradise Lost is an epic poem about the tyranny of kingship, written by Staunch anti monarchist John Milton, but it uses God and Satan to tell that story, and Satan is somewhat the protagonist in it (which is wild, given that it was published in 1667!)

I’ve written my own AU of it, to create vampirism for the series I write, that also plays off a little bit of the Lilith mythology I’ve been able to unearth. Right now I have Satan and Lilith/Eve finished and beautiful, Sin and Death (Satan’s kids) half-shelled, and I have ideas for Abdiel and Ithuriel, who are two of the other angels in PL, as well as Beelzebub and possibly Mammon and possibly Moloch—which would leave Belial the only named devil not shelled, and I might just have to bring him in…

These two are my Eve/Lilith character and Satan!

 

@Chameleon
I love your idea and would love to see more as you shell them!

I’ve always wanted a whole bunch of demons too, but there are barely any sculpts that come close to what I envision (and the few that do are insanely rare). Doll making and sculpting is something I’ve seriously considered starting because I feel this is the only way to have some of my dream collection. Same with the Babylonian deities.

I’m excited to see more of your dolls!

 

Ocean horror seems to be a recurring theme with my dolls. I guess growing up along the coast has left its influences!
I have a Dollzone Jellyfish with clear hands as a lighthouse keeper, and a head I intend to paint and maybe sculpt scales on (when I finally get some good faceup weather!)
