Neon’s A Doll A Day… Again (2020)

[neon_jellyfish]

Oh. I know that feeling when a character picks a specific shell and you spend far too long trying to find it. (See me and Alvastaria Milo who is my perfect Artful Dodger.) The same scale rule was something I came up with when I realised that if I was shelling characters, I may not always have the character shell in dolls from the same line, and if they were at least the same scale, it did make things a little easier for posing and sharing spaces, and so forth.

(Actually I'm also having that 'character picked their shell' for another character who was just a vague idea in my head...)

I hope whatever plan you come up with, it suits your purposes well. I think the fact you yourself are saying you think the third option would be the most fun does suggest that it's the one you would prefer to go with. I wish you luck on getting this done well! (Also I'd love to see what doll the character has picked out!)

Also also? Rochelle looks so stunning in the black and white. It looks like it's some advertising campaign that's had so much money spent on it.

Thank you and thank you!

Most often, I pick the dolls I like and put them on my wishlist, and then I think of their character, but Oddwickshire does tend to sprout new characters on its own, and then I have to find shells for them. This is the first time a character picked a specific doll, and one that doesn't fit in the world at that. I don't want to say which one, because I tend to jinx myself when I share my dolly plans, and it's a more ex!pensive one, so I'm afraid it'll take some time before I can share the doll.

Well... how "drop-dead gore-geous" is Freak du Chic Rochelle in monochrome? Sufficiently and irresistibly gore-geous that I felt compelled to navigate myself to eBay and impulsively click a Buy-It-Now button, that's how gore-gous!

I would not have ex-pected the pink hair to render so nicely in black & white.

Aww, thank you!

As for how colors translate into B&W, did you know that the set for the 60s Addams Family series was bright pink and yellow IRL? They were ex³perimenting with various colors and found that pinks and yellows make the best gloomy gothic mansion in B&W. Here's a pic:

A nice B&W portrait.  Her striped dress is well suited for B&W too.

Thank you! Stripes just work great under any circumstances...

So dramatic, it’s like a still image from an old film. I keep thinking Phantom of the Opera with Claude Rains.

Ooh, that's an interesting idea. I'm not familiar with any of the movies. Actually, I think I'm no longer familiar with the book, I've read it when I was a teen, and only in Czech, and I don't remember it very clearly. Oh well, it's a good reading choice for October, so I'll be off to Project Gutenberg. I think it could be fun to do a MH Phantom crossover...

She’s beautiful in any shot, and the B&W is especially effective.

Thank you very much!!!



Day 293

I'm feeling very artsy fartsy, and also very migey-rainey today, and poor Mr. Morgenstern had to sacrifice himself to buy time for others to run away from me. But I'm sure he'll escape.
