Neon’s A Doll A Day… Again (2020)

[neon_jellyfish]

Thanks guys!


Day 63

The little gnome with big hammer who lives in my skull is still trying to kill me, so it's under-ex-posed and blurry again, and the doodle itself is a freestyle doodle, I didn't bother with detail or symetry in the wings, and it shows.... Also, my phone camera gives everything awful levels of contrast, so the shading on the doodle is smoother IRL, and also the jacket is grey, not black.

When I first learned about the mothmen, I was disappointed. Modern western cryptids are always just big and brute hairy creatures without a hint of style. I always thought that mothmen should be classier, closer to vampires than to flying bigfoots (wouldn't it be fun if the plural for bigfoot was bigfeet? Ha). So I made myself one! I'm pretty sure that Oddwickshire mothmen look like this.



Sorry for the dark picture. The beauty lost in the shadows is 2010 Bratz Adri.

Ooh! I love the detailing in the antennæ! The wing pattern brings to mind a Victorian era carpet!

Your Bratz girl is extremely pretty, and her jacket is quite stylish! Is that her stock outfit?

Oh, that mothman is just so stylish. I would love for that to be a standard version. Fantastic art work!

Adri does look very lovely, even in the shadows.

That’s a cool doodle. I like the colouring on the wings and your attention to insect anatomy on the legs and feet. And the portrait of Darling with the soft effect & colours is very nice.

[Elfy]

The doodle looks like something from The Butterfly Ball. Really cool.

[Lejays17]

I agree with your thought that mothmen should be elegant Victorian gentlemen.

He will fit in nicely with the other inhabitants of Oddwickshire, I believe.

Thank you very much, everyone!


Day 64

I downloaded an app for adding comic bubbles to photos, so I'm tring it out. I can't see the edge of the photo in it, so placing the bubbles/text is a bit tricky... But so far, I like it.

[werepuppy]

Ha! That is fantastic!

... I really should get one of those apps...

[davidd]

OMG! Photo-bomb! That is SO FUNNY! Cute, adorable, and FUNNY!

That word balloon app looks pretty good! I use a program on the computer called Comic Life. There are "app" versions for mobile phones and tablets, too. But the app you're using looks like it would be simpler and more straightforward.

That "wheeee" leaping pic is just hilarious!

[dargosmydaddy]

So cute! Wheee!

[Elfy]

Oh that whacky Maddy!

[Alliecat]

Cute. I wonder what PTFCo would do with an app like that. Would have to be something I can use on the computer.

[Lejays17]

Oh, that’s so much fun!

Of course Maddy didn’t realise that a photo was being taken as she skipped merrily across the light box.

Thank you, everyone!!!


Day 65

Flufflock of plusheep! This came to mind back when werepuppy posted her hug of teddies. It's extra fluffy flock of plush shep, in short, flufflock of plusheep. There's no official collective noun for plush sheep, so I'm coining flufflock. It's silly, so I like it.



I also have a few Shaun the Sheep ones, but they didn't fit into shot, the tent was completely full.

[werepuppy]

Your flufflock is adorable, and I see Ashlynn in the back there, playing shepherd. I like the big one in the middle, it looks squishy in the best way.
