Two quick things before I crawl into bed and call it a night. The first is that I didn’t forget about your paper doll Monica, it’s just taking a little longer then I planned. It’ll be up on next Monday. Secondly, I have realized it might actually be possible to reformat the site to a standard blog format in a way that won’t take hours upon hours of work. So, that will be happening in the future, but this also means as I play around with format there might be times when links get broken or things seem a little odd.
I promise these things will be fixed as soon as I see them (or more likely), someone else sees them and tells me.

As for the paper doll post today, um… I’m not totally pleased with this set. I drew these paper doll pieces around the same time I did a few others and this was the last set I drew. I tend to draw paper doll series in clumps, so for a few weeks I draw a lot of Curves or I draw a lot of Marisole or Pixie and then I post them as I clean them and polish them up for the site. These groups of images are always mixed. There are some that I’m really proud of and some that I’m less so.
These guys, I’m less proud of, but I really liked the paper doll herself and wanted to post her. I’m just not a huge fan of the dresses. But maybe other people will like them more then I do. What do people think?
I like the dresses. They seem like sort of medieval/renaissance fantasy world that the upper-lower class would wear. Maybe the wives of the butchers or craftsmen, but not the lower low class, and not quite fancy enough for nobility. See, they have extra fabric, but not tons of extra fabric.
I think I’ll have fun colouring these tonight (since I remembered to bring my pencils), and I will practice patterns on the dresses. =)
I actually like this one better. I don’t really know why.. The dresses are nice- not too simple but not overly done. Not that anything you draw is like that..
