Drawtober Emily Andreson

 My silly OC ("original" character) 

Name: Emily aka Emily Anderson 

  Age: Looks young around 13 in this art, Ages different then humans due to her nature she gets 'stuck' looking younger then she is. 

Story (rough): A hybrid experimental amalgamate genetic splice DNA (silly science) of Alucard and Father Alexander Anderson (from Hellsing series) essential their biological equivalent of a daughter. (or sometimes I just Andercard ship and nonsense) She was created by the Millennium organization  as an experiment the only embryo to survive.Very long black hair red eyes. She is Short. (5 foot in 3 inch heels) Can summon holy blades and set up magic barriers. She does needs blood but can eat red meat.  Her hair constantly grows long to her feet each night and cuts it in the morning. (semi sentient hair?) She usually wears plain simple dress in white or black.

I am attempting to draw costumes for her every day in October (and maybe color but my Photoshop keeps crashing so... ?) She is sensitive (picky) about textures and tends to wear loose fitting over sized clothing in a triangle Aline shape shape and prefers layers and colors of black, white, off whites, cream, grey, soft blue, and a splash of red and soft fabrics, tends to be mostly modest with knee length or longer skirts and prefers skirts and dresses to pants. Wears clunky three inch "Frankenstein" type platforms to give herself some much needed height.








For my blog fans who aren't familair with Hellsing (which I must recommend the manga) Emily's dads  Alucard and Alexander Andersonbelow

Dress a Doll Kelly

 




Sometimes I totally forget I made a thing or if I shared it or not. I designed this base inspired by Mattel Barbie's little sister Kelly (also sometimes called Shelly or Shelley?) the base comes in two variations one with undies for those who do not care for doll nudity and one without. There doll is bald so that one can design hair for it. I designed this in 2020 using Adobe Illustrator and I think I may have posted on Facebook. But seems I never uploaded it to the blog. Anyway, feel free to print it out and design outfits.

Mrs. Frizzle 4th of July

 


Happy 4th of July! I designed a paper doll inspired by the character from the Magic School bus series Mrs. Frizzle.  This character was created by Joanne Cole and originally illustrated by Bruce Degan. The book series was published by Scholastic Company and the TV series was on PBS. The bases are from the different versions, TV to the left and book to the right.  The fashions are designed by me for the holiday.  I plan on doing more outfits from the books and TV series.  Please note this is fan art and I do not claim to own this character, just adapting it into a paper doll.  She has two outfits, each doll can wear, and a pair of shoes and boots.  Each doll has an earring as well, that can be placed by cutting a small slit near the hairline and pushing the tab in.

Chili

 


Oh wait, were you expecting a different Chili? perhaps something more like https://missmissypaperdolls.blogspot.com/2022/09/chilis-captivating-clothes.html

On that Post RLC commented that she was expecting a chili pepper paper doll.  So here we go! April Fools! Enjoy the anthropomorphic chili peppers in red and green with 8 dresses.  I designed this at work using Photopea and some backgrounds from Google.  I tried to make an outfit for each color of the rainbow (red, orange/yellow, green blue purple and toss in some pink and white for good measure). Also I noticed I spelled Chilli there are variations to the spelling.

Pose Doll

 





Here is a two page paper doll in Black and White and in color inspired by Pose Dolls. The base and first outfit are based on a box  here.  The outfits are inspired by various pose dolls from the 60s/70s era.  Pose dolls were made of soft fabric/foam and had wires inside that allow the doll to bend.  Bradley is one brand that made these.

Monster High Draculaura

 


Happy Halloween everyone!  Above is a  old paper doll I drew of Draculaura from the Monster High series of dolls by Mattel.  I never colored her and I planned on doing more of the Monster High ghouls but never got around to it.  She has her classic outfit along with Dawn of the Dance, Gloom Beach and 13 wishes.

Mermaid

I did another mermaid paper doll for Mermay.  I tried a different technique of copying the doll base 100% and then removing/editing it into clothing rather then drawing the outfits over the base.  Then the outfits are sized up lightly.  She has four outfits and three hairstyles, some rotated to fit the page better. She is topless but nothing is shown

Lalallopsy Spot Splatter Splash and Pepper Pots N Pans




So I was browsing through old post and I don't think I ever posted these Lalaloopsy Paper Dolls.  The top doll is Spot Splatter Splash, she is an artist.  She has 4 tops, 3 over tops  3 bottoms and 3 pairs of shoes along with her pet zebra and some pajamas.  The second doll is Pepper Pots N Pans who is a chef.  She has 2 tops, 2 bottoms, an apron, two pairs of shoes, along with pajamas and some hats.  Her pet is a pig.  MGA is the creator of the Lalaloopsy Doll line and it's characters.

Collaborative Project 2019 April Fandom/Cosplay



base
Can you believe it's almost MAY! Been very busy with school, almost over only two weeks left.  Above is my very crowded page of clothing for this months theme.  I did a lot of mix and match pages.  For fandom, I decided to focus on graphic tees and printed bottoms of popular fandoms such as: Game of Thrones, Star Wars, Harry Potter, DC comics, Mario(video game leggings), My little Pony (looks bootleg) and a Sailor Moon inspired print skirt.  for the cosplay outfit, I chose the character Sakura from Card Captor Sakura anime.  

Please note I will be signing all my art as Melissa Pepe now.
 Make sure to check out the other blogs/artist to see what they have designed for this theme

Taking a break from posting Inktober Paper Doll outfits, here's this years Halloween Paper doll.  It is a black and white design that can be colored.  The boy and girl can share costumes.  The costumes are: ghost, clown, pizza, superhero, police officer, and doctor.  I may try to do more costumes but with classwork, I've been very busy.  Have a safe and Happy Halloween.

First Project For School

More School Projects

watch
movie poster

skateboard decks
So these are the last three projects I did for my computer graphic class last semester (not including a portfolio project, which was just a document with all the projects we did throughout the class).  The top is a watch drawn in Adobe Illustrator.  It is based on two real watches (the band from one and the face from another).  The second is a movie poster.  I changed it a bit after class based on feedback received in peer review.  For this project we had to come up with a basic concept for the movie.  My movie, titled "Divided" is a near future sci-fi drama starting Scarlett Johansson as dual roles.  The movie focuses on a pair of twin sisters, (Piper and Pepper) who find out one of them is a clone, but do not know which one. Each woman then questions what it means to be human, ect...  And plot twist... It turns out both of them are clones and the orignal died during the experiment and many other copies exist, ect.  The tag line is "A secret brought then together... now it will tear them apart."  I imagine it will also have Natalie Portman as a scientist and Tom Hiddleston as a love interest.  The direct I put on the poster is Nacho Vigalongo, whose done a few movies and I would love to see a sci-fi movie by him.  The last picture is a three part assignment, which we had to use Photoshop, Illustrator and a combination of both to make a set of three coordinating skateboard decks.  The first deck is all Photoshop.  The second is all Illustrator.  And the last is both programs.  I tried to design the boards to look good upside down, since skateboards often get flipped around.  My theme was a broken ball joint doll who is turning into crystals.

Takara Jenny Paper Doll


Hello everyone.  First day of school today.  Should be an easier semester because I don't have as many classes and one is online.  I did this paper doll a while ago and never posted it because I thought I might add more outfits.  This is a Takara Jenny doll I own called Calendar Girl Jenny November.  I may use this base again for other Jenny dolls.

lolitas
Some sketches I did on Staff Day in October of 2017.  We had some colored pencils, so the bottom ones are in color.  Some kawaii fashion designs inspired by Japanese lolitas.  Also a quick character design in two art styles, which I may resurrect later.  I'll post some more sketches I've been doing on my class notes later.  Also my Birthday is Friday!  December 1st!  So maybe I'll have time to do a birthday paper doll. (maybe not, final projects for school!)
