One of my favorite things about paper dolls is that you don't have to wait for the official release to get the doll you want. (Granted, it's not the actual physical doll, but for me it's good enough). When the photos of the 2014 Girl of the Year were leaked in October, I decided to try making my own version.
I don't know if I'm going to end up keeping her, because she's not based on the best-quality images, so I'm calling her Prototype 1 for now.

A group shot with everyone minus Fiona and Aisling. Tesla's sweater is new - it's based on the sweater from the Liberty Jane outfit "Piccadilly". Seen separately, the girls' faces seem pretty similar, but in group shots the differences are obvious. Their hair is different too, and not just in color variation; P1's hair is the only one done in colored pencil rather than marker. You can see how it adds some dimensionality to her face. Which is your favorite?
The gold shoes in the "meet" outfit look better with the dress than the gold boots that AG sells with the Sparkle set. As evidenced by the outfit she comes in, P1 looks good in pink sparkly clothes. She can wear pretty much anything and look all right, but I thought that the combination of gold sparkles on shoes and dress was fortuitous.
Winter hasn't officially arrived yet where I live, but it's certainly chilly enough to justify boots. The capelet was inspired by the one made by L'Atelier de Sitara, and it's a nice piece of outerwear in that it looks cozy but doesn't obscure the shirt beneath. And, of course, I had to include a photo with the puppy Lulu, who's only been on here once. I need to get a dog-walking photo series together at some point.
The most distinctive aspect of the 2014 Girl of the Year is her dyed hair. This isn't perfect, but isn't hideous, so I'm going to keep it as is until I can get better photos.
Have you made your own GOTY 2014 doll? How did she turn out?
I like the dyed hair you did!!
ReplyDeleteI love the cape - it's perfect for winter and the pattern is really well-done! :)
ReplyDeleteWOW! you are officially AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE AMAZING! I couldn't do that.... because A. I can't draw ears, B. I can't make hair, and C. I lost my crayons/colored pencils/markers. Need I say more?
ReplyDelete- Anonymous A.
I made her meet outfit and wig for one of my other dolls. By the way, would you like me to send in a guest post of my dolls to help there be more posts until you can get back to full time?
