soooo excited to have finished this. this redesign of clair from g1 was done by @sassmaster-artjay (original post) and it really inspired me to make a doll based on it.
i tried to make it as close to the drawing as i possibly could and it was a very fun challenge! i had an absolute blast
the base doll is a g1 ghoulia. i would've loved to do this with a doll that matched the body type more closely but ghoulia is what i had and her skin tone is a pretty good match. plus i've been wanting to do some kind of alt/goth look with a black lip on this ghoulia anyway
i'm also very happy with the face considering i haven't done this a lot before (i had to do two attempts tho bc the first eyes came out wayy wonky lol)
more pics and rambling under the cut!
i've been wanting to make a cropped sweater with baggy sleeves and a top with a ribcage on it for forever so i think this is what really jumpstarted me into action lol
it's not as wide at the torso as it should be but i was so pleased with how it came out that i decided to keep it.
also i was thrilled that i had the materials to make the necklace (the gem was originally a long diamond shape and i just cut off the tips hehe).
the skirt is supposed to be a slip dress but i couldn't figure out how to make it both fitted to the torso and keep it sleek looking, so it actually only goes up to under the boobs but that will be our little secret.
the fabric is giving me a lot of trouble tho bc it really really wants to curl up at the ends.
wig is made with the trusty yarn weft method
yarn hair won't hold that kind of shaggy wave from the design by itself but i decided not to use any product because if i put hair gel or something in there and it ever gets messed up it'll be pretty impossible to fix
the shoes i already had and they were a pretty close match. i just put the chains on. the black stripes on the stockings are also handpainted.
and here she is on a spinning charcuterie board <3
I know this is random but I would be really interested to see people's interpretations of Chad and Clair in g3. I like to think if they were in g3 they would get along with Buddy and Yi-Ling so they can have more humans (aside from Apollo) to talk to about the monster world with.
Besides, those two stood out to me when I watched Ghouls Rule for the first time.
I don’t have anything for Halloween so………art dump.
Was cleaning up and getting rid of some arts I didn't see myself continuing. Ik they don't look great but I like to share my ideas and how much potential they had before I abandoned them. A lot of these are like concept sketches and stuff I was fixated on at the moments I made them. Some of these are rly old, some of them younger like a yr old….a couple were initial sketches of ideas I have semi-related full arts of that I've actually posted in my acc later on.
Like the Ryouko yakuza one and Hinami on her chair. Those were the first sketches I made of those ideas (the yakuza Hinami AU I have) but I never got back to them and they were very old and I did not feel like trying to improve them, I chose to keep them as like archival sketches instead.
The Raditz one is related to an au I haven’t drawn yet but it’s basically an au where he lives and decides to change for goku (as he’s the only family he’s got left), in the meantime he enjoys the time he spends with his nephew but don’t let chichi find out he was left alone with him. She’s still mad about his kidnapping and takes a longer time accepting him.
Monster high bc I loved Toralei when I was younger and I know nothing about Clair but loved her design when I came across it. I drew them together after watching some clips of her and thought they’d get along if they ever met. I’ve been wanting to draw HooDude VooDoo because he’s adorable and deserves to be loved, but don’t hold me to it I’ll prolly never get to it.
Grell and Will bc 13yr old me could always sense their weird dynamic and I wanted to make something where Will reciprocates. I also had a huge crush on him but didn’t mind sharing him or was bothered at the thought of Grell with him😔🎀I was originally gonna draw Grell with her iconic short hair but when I made this it was rly hard and I got frustrated and gave up and gave her long hair instead. I also had the fattest crush on short hair Grell…..maybe it’s the glasses with the two💀😔🗿
Ballroom/cruel god/trolls are unrelated and sketches I made when I was bored and had rly good ideas but I didn’t end up going through with them in the end. I love Jeremy and Marjorie.😭💖
Lastly the Eren and Armin. Idk, I made this with the context of some fics I read at the time. A lot of them had to do with Armin’s struggle to understand Eren and Mikasa’s decision to keep him alive and he ends up hating Eren to some degree. It’s a bit hard to explain exactly what I was going for since the fics had context for it. I just wanted to interpret Armin’s resentment towards him and attempting to harm Eren in some way(but his younger version) in order to keep him from becoming his s4 version. Like time travel stuff but not rly, it’s all in his mind and the only way he can keep himself from having a violent outburst towards him.
Ik I’m a yapper and that no one is probably going to read all this but I always like to provide context for my drawings, even if they seem convoluted, I literally cannot bring myself to just post something without context. I need to yap about my fixations and what I based it off or I’ll go insane.
