Paper Doll Collaberation Project Favorite Seires

This months theme was Favorite Novels.  I decided to do Favorite series instead.  Most of the books I read are classic, sci-fi and horror.  I chose to draw Ozma of Oz from the Oz series by L Frank Baum.  I did not read all of the Oz books but read up to the 6th book "Emerald City of Oz".  I attempted to read the next book "Patchwork Girl of Oz" but the didn't get through it.  The second outfit is a Hogwarts uniform from the famous Harry Potter series by JK Rowling.

Paper Doll Collaberation

Alright, so if you follow other paper doll blogs you may have stumbled across a project called Paper doll Collaboration 2017 from Paper Doll School, Paper Thin Personas, and Pop Culture Paper Dolls. 

Well, I asked if I could join the project, yes it's belated, but the girls agreed to let me in on the fun!  So above is my modification of Julie Mathews wonderful base along with January's theme, the Year I was born.  The two outfits are based on the sewing patterns below.  I was born in 1988, a bad year to be a bridesmaid!  Puffy sleeves and ruffles! I haven't named her yet! 

Be sure to check out the other girls dolls at the links below.  The outfits should all fit, with the exception of hair I think.

Future Fashion

This month's theme for the paper doll collaboration project is Future Fashion.  I was very inspired by Retro future, like Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers and the Jetsons cartoon.  I love geometric shapes in futuristic designs. I image these outfits in metallic colors with bright neon accents, maybe holographic print. I designed the hair to look like it was floating, it would be some bright unconventional color, perhaps a galaxy purple?  My lines aren't as neat this month, I do not currently have access to my drawing tablet.

Paper Doll Collaberation Project Occupations

For the month of May the theme was Occupations. of course I had to choose librarian, since I work at a library!  However, I always imagine librarians in cardigans with pencil skirts and scarfs, though none of my co-workers dress like that!  Also, a stylish and witty book bag, and fun decorative pins.  First time I've ever drawn glasses, I believe!  For the other costume I decided to go with nurse scrubs. I imagine them in the traditional blue/green color however would be easy to add some fun print or color.

Paper Doll Collaberation Project Vampire Masquarde

 I have today off for Nevada Day, sad that it isn't on Halloween this year.  Can't believe it's the end of October already! Midterms in school right now, super busy!  Anyway, the theme for this month is Masquerade/Vampire.  The cape was inspired by Victorian Fancy Dress, particularity of a bat, .like this one.  I made the overall outfit more modern and pretty stereotypical of the vampire Halloween costumes. I always imagine vampires more conservative and covered up, still sexy but not reveling much skin, hence the gloves and long dress.  I've had lots of fun Collaborating on this project, it's great to see everyone design a the end of the month.

Paper Doll Collaboration 2017 Oscars

Find the Doll here http://missmissypaperdolls.blogspot.com/2017/02/paper-doll-collaberation.html

For the February theme of the Collaboration Project, the challenge was what to wear to the Oscars (which I believe are next week?).  I'll be honest, I don't really watch awards shows, only the red carpet to see the fabulous gowns.  I'll be also honest and say the two dresses are not based on any real gowns, just the overall theme I tend to see at the Oscars award show.  To the left is a mermaid with a simple top and dramatic ruffle bottom, mermaid dresses seem to be common.  I expect it would be in a jewel tone or dramatic pastel in color.  To the right is a big sparkly ball gown, another dress that seems to rule the red carpet.  I image the color of this dress to be nude, blush or gold tone.  The hair style is simple pulled to one side, with earring accent.

Paper Doll Collaberation 2018 January Fairy Tale Theme

Base

Princess and the Frog, Sleeping Beauty

Cinderella

original sketch

I'm afraid I went a bit overboard with the new collaboration project for this month. I will be making outfits for this doll along with
PaperThinPersona
PaperDollSchool
and
PopCulturePaperDolls.  I had the honor of creating the doll base.  I always have a stack of 'base' ideas lying around and choose one for this years project.  I used Adobe Illustrator to slightly redesign the base, in hopes she could be posed in various ways.  Of course the base has a heavy anime influence and it's wonderful to see how each collaborators adjust this base to fit their own unique style. For the outfits, yes I did two pages of clothing!  I got a bit carried away.  The first sheet features Princess and the Frog and Sleeping Beauty.  I'll admit, neither is my 'favorite' fairy tale per the story but I love old vintage costumes and the 'pointy' princess hat.  The next sheet is Cinderella inspired, along with her rags outfit and a Rococo inspired dress.  I've spent more time on these then usual, as to fill a New Years Resolution of finishing projects early and cleanly.

Paper Doll Collaberation 2018 Animals

The theme for May was favorite Animals (or pets?)  so I created four outfits (surprise they fit on a page!).  The first one is a cat maid, inspired by anime like Toyko Mew Mew.  (best not to look up cat maid, you get some creepy stuff..).  She has little cat shoes as well.  The second is a Turtle print Turtleneck dress, because pun fun!  Next, it's getting hot here, so some summer outfits.  A dolphin print tank with starfish shorts (starfish are animals).  And last, I am a dog person, so a dog t-shirt with shorts and faux dog tag necklace.

Paper Doll Collaberation 2018 March Now and Then/Then and Now

OMG totally spaced posting this yesterday! It's been a crazy week for me.

Alright this months theme was "Now and Then" so taking a vintage outfit and making it modern and taking a modern outfit and making it vintage in sorts is how I interpreted it..  For the first outfit I used a fashion plate for inspiration here  and made a casual every day version inspired by the details.  For the second dress I took a casual every day outfit here and created a vintage dress inspired by the fabric and patterns.  The lines on the bottom of the dress are supposed to be the stitched detail of the jeans.  Added some shoes and hats.  The hats, I have no idea if they will actually fit.

Paper Doll Collaberation 2018 April Favorite Flower

So this months theme was favorite flower.  I'll admit I rushed lining this one a bit to get it done in time, so it's a bit rough around the edges.  My favorite flower to draw are roses, hence my character Princess Rose whose always wearing something like the first dress. This dress has matching shoes similar to last months shoes.  Then I drew a dress based on lily of the valley, my current favorite flower (it changes) the hat was inspired by one of my favorite artist Macota Takahashi. like this hat It was supposed to be a cloche, but ended up looking like a swimmers cap, so I drew a swimsuit with a floral print.

Paper Doll Collaberation 2018 February Date Night

Base
 The theme for the month of February was date night, inspired by Valentine's Day.  The first dress is based on a real dress that of course I can't find a picture of now.  The other dress I imagine in a blush/pink or maybe champagne color and is inspired by vintage lace dresses.  I don't actually dress up to go on a date but I've always liked the idea of wearing something fancy to go out to dinner.  I created  a pair of shoes to go with the short dress and a little hair heart.  Also a box of chocolates, of course, my favorite Valentine's gift!

Paper Doll Collaberation 2018 June Bride

Where did this month go!  I love wedding dresses.  I love drawing wedding dresses.  Above are two beautiful bridal gowns.  The first is a short vintage inspired dress with flower applique.  The second is a long trumpet gown with beaded detail and a bouquet.  It's a lot easier for me tor draw beading and lace by hand, on the computer it's a bit harder because I don't like to copy and paste... I want a hand drawn look!  I gave her a short veil with some glitter detail.  I did one more sketch of a big Cinderella style ball gown but didn't have any time to do the computer lines.  When I tried on wedding dresses, I was very surprised how heavy the things are!  Especially the ball gowns! This may be my last post for a week.
