Entry for @plus-dolls design contest!

I swear it was a coincidence I was also designing a clown. A clown doll has been on my ideas list forever, so this gave me a chance to play around with the idea in a hypothetical space.

She ended being more of a clown magical girl, and I might continue to use this design and lean into the magical girl aspect even more. I particularly love the make up, which I took inspiration from various black creators in the fashion space, and drag queen looks.

I had a lot of fun, and maybe I'll use this look for an actual custom one day.

I'd been thinking about the @plus-dolls design contest for a while, and I kept going back and forth on what I wanted to do for it. But I think, ultimately, the doll I would most love to make if I had one of their sculpts in hand is this gal.

So, for the lovely folks over at Plus Dolls, here's the story: I wanted to create a design that pulls from some sources that are meaningful to me in the voice acting side of my life. In addition to being a doll customizer and illustrator, I am a voice actor that happens to be plus sized, so I wanted to design a doll that plays into things I associate with that part of my art. One of my favorite games of all time is Bendy and the Ink Machine, I'm in LOVE its 1930s cartoon aesthetic. Lauren Synger, the voice of Alice Angel from that game, is someone who inspires me constantly. I took a lot of inspiration from her and Adriana Caselotti, the original voice of Disney's Snow White, for crafting this look. But there's also a lot of my personal style preferences in here. I love wearing fake pearls, and I have a red dress that's not too far off from this one. The earrings are based on a pair my great grandmother had back in the 30s as well.

As a voice actress, I often worried I wouldn't fit in. You don't hear a lot of stories about plus sized or autistic actors, y'know? But as I've met more and more actors on my journey, I've discovered that I'm not alone out here. Turns out there are many of us who are not only great at the craft, but also are great people. It means a lot to me to know I'm in good company, and I want to set a good example for the future actors out there. I hope to inspire them the way my idols and colleagues have inspired me, give them a reason to keep fighting for their dreams. So of course, I want to express that in my visual art, not just my vocal art.

Thank you again for running this contest. It has been a DELIGHT to see all the amazing entries people have submitted! Much love to all of you and your beautiful art! <3

Contest entry for @plus-dolls. Valentines clowny girl, who is admittedly an iteration of an old oc, I wanted to make a doll of, that lead me to finding plus-dolls in the first place.

Long time no post! I whipped up this design entry super fast because I've been so sick and in pain literally the entire contest timeline but I made it! I didn't get to add the little accessories I wanted but if I were to win I'd customize a little wheelchair for Mint to be in and cover it in little vines and roses and maybe lilies if I could find some tiny enough. Additionally I'd do lil wings and maybe find a way to do a halo. Yes it's cringe but I am free. Then a tiny tarot deck, maybe some crystals, and a snack or two! It's important to me to see a doll that has my body type but even more so one that has my body type and is disabled. I had so many different ideas and really wanted to design one per template ar least but alas I am proud of the entry I did manage to make. Thanks so much to @plus-dolls for hosting this amazing contest. I've seen so many amazing entries and I wish everyone the best of luck!

I've been following the development of @plus-dolls since it was curvy girls, and not too long ago, they had some old mini statues available on their Kofi. Luckily, it coincided with having a little extra money, so I absolutely had to grab one! I didn't expect the stickers, but they were a nice surprise, especially since one of them was Keiko in her everyday outfit.

I know we're probably a long way off from having these finished, but it's still so exciting having a real, tangible version of the doll concept.
