Thoughts on Today’s Paper Doll
On some level, I draw the sorts of paper dolls I wanted as a child. I wanted hundreds of outfits. I didn’t want 100s of dolls, but one doll with a huge wardrobe. Well, now a days I also recognize the importance of doll variety (being that I am no longer 12) and I have too much fun drawing different dolls to just have one.
Beyond all that, I draw things that I feel like drawing. This isn’t great for the sites stats, but it does make me happy. Sometimes, that means I draw a Viking woman warrior in the form of a paper doll outfit. I firmly believe anything can become paper doll clothing. (Not anything SHOULD become paper doll clothing, but that’s a whole different issue, you know?)
Now, I admit things get a little random around here. This week they certainly will, but I hope everyone has as much fun as I do with the random.
Inspiration for Today’s Paper Doll
In my head, I sort of organize my fantasy paper dolls in to several categories based on their general aesthetic. There’s Asia inspired or Renaissance inspired or Russia inspired. Today’s set was Viking inspired, but I mean… it’s a fantasy outfit, but it feels Viking to me.
Specific Source Images: This Viking Woman Warrior which I found on Pinterest and couldn’t find a source for, sadly. It’s lovely digital art. Let me know if you know the artist.

Last Thoughts
Today’s Viking inspired fantasy outfit will be followed by some professional wear tomorrow. See, I said this week would be random.
This week’s random collection would have gone up last week, but cybergoth won the poll I gave those who support me on Patreon. If you want some input into those things, you can join us there.
Now, I know I will always sometimes have random weeks, because I don’t always want to draw a bunch of the same thing, but I am curious. Do you prefer weeks with themes or weeks of random? I feel a little divided. I think theme weeks are great if you like the theme, but maybe little dull if you happen to hate cybergoth or something. What do you think? Let me know in a comment.
I like that colors, what you choose to this papet doll. Shoes, sword, knife and axe is amazing. Dress is wonderful. I think this shape is good and colors are fantastic, but that yellow on sleeves makes me thing to think, because I like vikings age and I am watching “Vikings” series and I don’t remember yellow color there. But all paper doll is realy realy realy wonderful. This paper doll series I like more.
I love how detailed the top is and that kind of axe is one of my favorites!
I like both themed weeks and random, so I like the mix you have right now.
I do the same thing when looking at fantasy outfits and classify them into the country they were inspired by and that also usually helps categorize the personality and character of those countries.
