Thoughts on Today’s Paper Doll
This Diamond, a new Asian paper doll for the Jewels and Gemstones family. I really wanted to draw a paper doll with some practical fantasy armor for slaying/riding dragons or making friends with them I suppose.
I just recently divided the Jewels and Gemstones into two subsections- one for dolls and one for clothing. I figure sometimes people want a doll and sometimes people want clothing (though all the dolls have clothing, so arguably my taxonomy isn’t perfect.)
But then, what is?
Inspiration for Today’s Paper Doll
I keep a running list of themes I want to be sure to draw for any new series and “practical fantasy armor” is always on the list. While I love my pulpy fantasy armor (and I always will), I also think it is important to draw armor that might actually protect someone in a fight. Not that I recommend testing it.

Not to start a battle over the best armor, but which do you prefer? Practical armor or pulpy armor? I’m evenly divided on the topic. Meanwhile, do you have a favorite source of armor illustration that I missed? I’d love to see it.

Also, am I the only one who thinks Daimond’s hair here could also stand in for a punk look? I really should draw some punk clothing for the Jewels & Gemstones. I haven’t yet.

Yes… The punk clothes will be amazing. Maybe you will think about draw something punk evening gown or zipper’s punk.
Ahhhhhh I love her! Her name is so cute and I love her armor! My first ever paper doll set I completed was a princess set, and among all the ballgowns I made sure to include some armor because you never know when a princess needs some armor haha. I prefer practical armor since that’s kind of the whole point of armor, but I think practical doesn’t mean it can’t be pretty!
Daimond is in the picture, not Diamond
Yes, I noticed that too. I plan to fix it as soon as I have a chance. 🙂
Is it Diamond or Daimond?
