Neon’s A Doll A Day… Again (2020)

[werepuppy]

Even feeling under the weather you manage to produce a fantastically atmospheric picture for the day. This feels like sci-fi mixed with suspense and it's fantastic.

Fun photo of the girls with unusual eyes!

Fingers Xx'd that you are soon able to climb out of your crypt of pain and reattach your head.

Even feeling like crap, you managed to ex-press it in a great way (and it is kind of funny how you worded it, even though feeling that bad isn't funny...) and take a spooky photo too.
Hope you feel much better tomorrow.

Thank you very much, guys! The weather will stay this way for a few more days, so I'm going to be dead for a little longer.


Day 125

Continuing with FdC posters.



Not sure what Rochelle's act was supposed to be. I think she was a mime?

[werepuppy]

Rochelle looks utterly adorable. It's either a mime or a jester type - the puffy hair makes me think jester.

[Lejays17]

She always looks amazing. I think a jester / clown would be her role as that’s one that isn’t covered already.

[davidd]

Especially pretty version of Rochelle. And one that looks less sad than some of the others.

[Elfy]

The swing suggests that she may be a trapeze artist. Gargoyles do clamber around the tops of buildings, so it kind of makes sense.

[neon_jellyfish]

Thanks guys!

Rochelle's act remains a mystery. I do remember old discussion on MH Arena, where somebody said she was a mime and stated a reason I don't remember but thought it was a good one back then. I think Mattel could have made her mime to avoid having to deal with clown nose and hat in 1/6 scale. The swing is the kids' one from playset, probably not the one trapeze artists use. However! I rewatched the last FdC webisode (FdC mini-arc is so poor, it totally doesn't do the dolls justice), and it became clear that who has what act doesn't matter in the fricken slightest, because everybody does everything. They all do trapeze and acrobatic performances (obviously wearing magic skirts that don't reveal anything, I could use one myself), balancing on balloon... The clown is actually one of the teachers, Frankie does one magic trick, Honey makes some balloon animals while having puppet cords tied to her hands, but she's not pretending to be a puppet, and Rochelle does that 'touching invisible wall' pantomime thing for the entirety of two milliseconds, and then they all go back to their previous frolicking. Their individual acts don't matter. Twyla and Clawdeen do their acts - stilts and beast taming, but they have their signature outfits, Clawdeen's has different colors. That arc is so wrong!

In short, Rochelle's act is being sweet and pretty circus ghoul. I'm fine with that.


Day 126

ADAW #17
My head is still out of order, so I just made a very simple one this week.



This is Florianne's newest plantimal, butterflyenopsis. It looks like a regular orchid, but once the buds fully open, it takes about three days for the blossom to mature, split off and fly away. Adults then mate and lay seeds in some warm and humid place. Which currently means Florianne's greenhouse.

So bright and pretty and spring-y! Gorgeous!

[davidd]

This is what you call a simple sketch, with so much detail and so many beautifully blended colors? Uhm... okay.

Interesting fantasy/sci-fi scenario you have created for this sketch and this creature to fit them in to your world. Some of the aspects I find most appealing about Oddwickshire are the elements of science and technology that accompany the magic.

[Alliecat]

OK, I seriously want one of these in my orchid collection! A Lepidopsis floriana would be the most wonderful addition. What currency does Oddwickshire use? Do they take Paypal?? Will they ship???
What a fun idea. I love it.
The more times I read it the more I love it. I wish these things existed

Hope you can reboot your head soon. Feel better!

[werepuppy]

Oh, that is gorgeous

[Lejays17]

Gorgeous butterfly orchid, I wish they were available here!

Florianne is a marvel with her botany!

[Elfy]

I love the plantimal, too. Yet another reason to move to Oddwickshire.
