paper dolls, the usual ~

[lookingland]

i was working on a doll <~ before the big move and today i got around to scanning the dress and messing with it colorwise in Painter.

my feelings on the end results are pretty feh. i didn't put much effort into the coloring here because i was just trying out different ideas, but overall, the doll and the complexity of the clothes doesn't seem worth all the effort and hoopla. this doll is constructed from over 18 separate pieces in order to give it some depth and texture, but in the end, none of that intricacy really shows through, i don't think. i'm a bit nonplussed.

should i just go back to traditional-style construction? i was very enthusiastic about this, but the results aren't really blowing me away and it's twelve times the work, frankly.

I'm for traditional style myself, but to be fair, I don't have the actual version here in front of me. :/

hahahaha ~ as usual, i'm about two seconds away from torching the whole affair.

things always seem like a good idea until you actually get them underway!
