Chara’s done.
I couldn’t decide if I wanted to do regular Chara or “Creepy” Chara, so I did both!
I didn’t want to make two dolls, so I took some inspiration from creepy vintage two faced dolls, and felted two faces on one head. The removable wig completely conceals the second face.
I interpret the distortion of Chara’s creepy face as black “rot juice” and thought puffy paint could represent all that grossness! 😃
I thought of making them a knife at the last second, buuuuut they have no way of holding one. So I made a heart locket out of a heart locket charm I painted gold.
It’s cute but I regret a few things about making them.
They are very top heavy and I probably should have rigged a permanent contraption that would allow me to flip their head around and have it permanently attached. Chara was incredibly hard to balance. They kept falling over and coming apart. Then I’d have to put them back together, restyle their wig and try to get them to balance long enough to take a picture. Super frustrating.
Secondly, I shouldn’t have used wool for the wig. It keeps getting tangled and felting against it’s self and not laying properly. I’m going to redo it with either scavenged actual doll hair or brushed out acrylic yarn.
Oh well, hindsight!
I’ve already started of Asriel and expect he’ll be less troublesome.
