She’s taken quite a lot of tender loving care and collaboration to bring her to life, but she’s here! Please meet Mad Moxxi, Borderland’s HOTTEST asset!
There is a lot to know about how she came to be, if you’re interested, please read on. :)
Moxxi is my first attempt at a fairly close to actual character REanimation. I’ve used many actual in game reference images to get her look just right, not to mention the countless hours playing the game which inspired this idea in the first place! Standing at almost 11.5 inches tall, this beauty began as Headless Headmistress Bloodgood from the MH doll line. She’s had a complete removal of factory paint, hair and clothing.
~Her new look “Faceup” (makeup/repaint)- 3x sealed prior to new look- artist grade watercolor pencils, acrylic paints and chalk pastels for color, MSC sealant and Tamiya x22 acrylic gloss for shine.
~Her eyes are a permanently set acrylic design from safrindoll.com, they have been gloss sealed and set with upper and lower black lashes.
~Her hair is a tri color-blend of saran hair that has been rooted “permed” and set with gel and hairspray.
Clothing/Accessories
Moxxi’s signature coat complete with custom fabrics was created by https://www.etsy.com/shop/lovelywoods. Hand made buttons have been added to the coat cuffs by me. I added the fabric bra line to enhance the bodacious shape of Moxxi’s bust and of course she dons her famous heart tattoo which has been sealed as well.
Her lovely hat was created by https://www.etsy.com/shop/freakgearbyHM with my added accents of hand painted organic humane feathers and her Queen of hearts card.
I formed air dry clay sculpted finger-less gloves for Miss Moxxi and painted them black. She wears her signature black manicure as well.
I’ve customized her black heeled boots by painting her “spats” in white complete with Hyperion gold trim, handmade clay buttons and a little “Underdome” blood accents for authenticity.
You’ll find her wearing her signature “Ruby” gun holster along with her double wrapped sash and leather belt with buckle.
Thigh highs custom made from https://www.etsy.com/shop/thedaughterwhosews The holes are intentional and will not run further.
Teal panties created by https://www.etsy.com/shop/MonstersLairBoutique
None of her clothing or accessories should be removed. They have been affixed to remain as true to her character as possible.
===========
What’s special about this doll otherwise?
She comes with her very own wooden, lidded, latch lock “Mox Box” Borderlands inspired locker to preserve her when she isn’t being displayed. This locker box was created by my husband and fellow artist, Jessup, of AHiLdesigns. This design is one of the staple elements in Moxxie’s world. "Loot lockers" can contain all kinds of things but this one is most special as it was made for Moxxi.
The locker has been primed, painted and aged with artist grade acrylic paints for woods and metals. You’ll find hand made paper venting that mimics that of the game lockers as well as the “light” indicator. Inside you’ll find Miss Mad Moxxi herself along with a gorgeous name plate and other mementos. ;)
