Astro Allure in a Different Color Scheme for my Patrons

In case you missed it, earlier this week, I shared the blue version of this paper doll with her mostly black and white wardrobe.

When I was working on a color scheme for this paper doll, I kept thinking about how I wanted to try a second color scheme. I was having way to much fun playing around with colors. Inspired by the chilly weather outside, I decided to experiment with warm and cheerful colors. Thus, the second iteration emerged, bathed in shades of pinks and yellows. These colors, reminiscent of spring and summer, hopefully bring a sense of summery happiness, especially in contrast to the dark chilly winter nights I’m currently experiencing.

I really love pink.

One subtle is that all the black on this set isn’t actually black- it’s a very dark gray with a pink tinge. So, that was an attempt to tie the whole thing together.

By the way, I really want to express how much I appreciate all of you who have supported this creative journey. Thank you for being a part of this adventure, especially since right now things are sort of unknown.

Additionally, I think I somehow messed something up on Patreon by pausing things in January, so… I likely won’t be doing that again! Meanwhile, we’ll triage along best we can!

Stardust Styles: Cute Alien Paper Doll

This is the first of a series of cute alien paper dolls that I have created.

The idea that art materializes in isolation is a pretty common misconception. Art is intrinsically tied to the world around us, shaped by our experiences, cultures, and surroundings. Everything is influenced by something. There’s this myth of the lone artist just creating out of nothing, but that’s really not the process. So, let me talk a little about how I ended up with a pastel alien paper doll today.

When I was in the Lower 48, I started noticing the Rainbow High dolls and I saw one called Zooey Electra. Her hair was a major influence on today’s paper doll. I read this review of that doll and it reminded me about the Novi Stars dolls which were fashionable alien dolls. Super fun and super creative, but the line didn’t take off. So, with those two things in mind (and my whole cyberpunk and retro futurism Pinterest boards to look at), I started doodling a set of cute retro inspired little alien paper dolls.

Back on the 19th of October, I showed a preview of these ladies. Back then, I wasn’t sure which order I would finish them in or what clothing I would pair with which doll. I’m still not 100% sure about some of the final touches. I’ve finished two and am struggling with color schemes for some of the other ones.

The point is that this is the first cute alien paper doll, but not the last cute alien paper doll. There will be more! There’s four at the moment. There might be a fifth… I haven’t decided yet.

In the meantime, enjoy this little pastel paper doll and I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. I went down to visit family and just returned, a little tired to my home.
