Dearest of Mouses, i have fulfilled thou request, and shall scanneth it to further upcsale it and to bring they superior image quality of said accomplished works...

For now, i'll have to do with a photo i took here at school where i drew it 15 minutes ago... Please tell me if i need to add things on it that might be essential or helpful...

The O's on the limbs indicate where seperate parts are, so the O on the neck for instance means the head is seperate from the upper body etc... Of course you just do it your way if there is an easier and prettier way for it :O

and then i made little arrows that show which direction lims and stuff are supposed to bend in, so that you can give then a proper sitting position... Unless of course you'd want them to stand upright, in which case you should ignore that...

Then i made an incredibly ugly mockup of a finished one, but it was just to show how it's supposed to "sit" if you'd end up trying that out...

Thank you, it's wonderful! <3
Now to banish excuses and actually work on them! :P

You have to be honest though, and tell me if i must add things that could be helpful... Can't say i did this kinda thing before, so i might have missed something essential that dolls need, dunno... But if there is, i'd love to add or fix stuff to be of more help...

btw, the profile view has a cut on the head, that's because i imagine you'd sew these parts together to get the right shape for the chin so it won't look too round, and to the front of the head, where the face it... Kinda like the monitor part of old fashioned TV's, where it bulges out, that's how it was meant to be like...

Good luck with it, if you make many puppets, please make a thread for it, then we can encourage you into creating more, MORE, MOOOORE!!!

Really, this is perfect for now. I'm not ambitious enough to start sewing real dolls yet (as my sewing hands are full of improvised cosplaying at the moment) but rather little foam 2-d mockups. It's just a mini-experiment of sorts, nothing too awesome.
Thanks for the detail, and may I say the limbs are adorable?
So if they mockdolls turn out passable I'll totally let you see them. I definitely need something to make my Miwa cosplay more recognizable, though that is a losing battle from the start. :D
Merci, Micki!

I totally want to see them, too!

*coughcoughandthenmakeaVictordollcoughcough*

MincyMatsu

Look, it's Excel ..!
But it's not quite Manga, is it ..?



Who the hell cares, because i just tried working on a different style today... Only downside with it imo are the sinister looking eyes...

MincyMatsu

I like that style. Cooooool.
She looks so edgy and vaguely sinister. It's brilliant!
I love the angles too. 
But you already are unholy, Micki. Hehe... :eevil:

MincyMatsu

Thankssss..!


It took me longer than expected to make it though... i should keep it up just to make sure i adapt well to this style, for the future...

I think i might draw the whole Across team like it as practice...
I'm afraid one might be better than another though, so i will have to start over on that one to make them on par...

The face is quite scary but other than that I think it's pretty nice! However...

You did just get into a new series, you know (hint, hint, wink, wink, nudge, nudge) that has pretty girls you might like drawing... Trying to draw other stuff like oh, I dunno, Captain Haddock, might challenge your skills as well... *cough*

MincyMatsu

I sense a vague amount of skillful hinting from your end, Maddy, i wonder if you're implying something...  :il_hahaha:

bet you thoguh i had more to show ..! HAH...
Well i do...

What, the angle seems off..? Yes it does indeed, give me a break  :elangry:



And a generic looking catgirl, that i made of request of my little sister and a friend of hers...



I used a reference for this one, although the face is kinda made up myself



I made these a while ago, it's funny how i forget to put them up here...

lol! I've never seen anything done quite like this by you. Reminds me of the style of current DC and Marvel animated designs. It's as though you've western-ized Excel. What's interesting about it is that it actually works. O_O

Okay, I'll give you a break then. :e_wink:



Oh, and "generic looking catgirl" FTW!!! ^^
