I really like it <3 Especially in red!!!!!!!

I'd have to go with the pastel pink and blue... classic!  The coat is so cute ~ good job paying attention to the ruffles and pleats :)

I think the button might benefit from a little perspective and detail, but for your first attempt at shading 0.0 better than my first attempt(s)!  I love how you kept it clean and simple instead of going crazy with the smudge tool like some people do LOL

Great job! :aomd_bravo:

They're amazing Varky!

THANKS A LOT GIRLS!!! Your encouragement helped a lot!!!

@mimi078: The button did need more love, huh? I'm planning to revisit this coat after 4 - 5 more designs, hopefully then I'd look at it with fresher eyes and that button will get fixed!

As for the smudge tool, I actually don't even know how to work that out :D Soooo....uh...beginner's luck? :P

@emajenz:
I totallya gree actually. How did I miss that?! I tried applying the outlines in this one a bit more. Think it still needs more outlining?

And the one I had been working on. This one is a little gift for Shadowchild as she liked this one last time we talked about it!





This one was inspired by/ OMDified from:

The pleats are so accurate (I'm so lazy with pleating, so there's a little jealousy there haha)!!  I think to help with the "flat" look that angelfire is talking about if you added a few select pleats to highlight - whatever is logical for your light source and a little on the bust... I don't think "deeper" pleats are necessary unless you want to play with that.  It's inspiration, so it doesn't need to look ***exactly*** like the picture ;)

Daaaaarky everything looks sooooooooo sweet <3 *patiently waiting for some awesome shoes to match the awesome dress*

OHMY!!!!!! Darky, you rock! First off I love the jacket, very cute and simple. It’s not quite as good as the dress but it really is amazing for your fist try.
And the dress!!! that one I love, I want it in every color right now!!! You did such a good job with the pleats and the making it look like the original (witch I still like.) I just can't say it enough, I LOVE IT!!! The your wig is super cute too, nice highlights and shadows.
:love: :love: :love:
I can't believe I didn't see these sooner. You are defiantly good at this, keep it up. :)

I love the way you're doing wigs!!! They look so cool!! I especially love the color palate you used for the pink one (not the OMD-pink -although I like that too- the other one)
And my favorite color of the dresses is the black and white and the pink necklace :3

@ruki: I actually am having trouble finding shoe styles that we don't already have :D But I'm working on some that should be out soon. One is panda inspired ;)
@shadow: Thanks!! i'm so happy you liked it!!!
@bloodsy: You rock, bloodsy!!
@Angel: i'm still experimenting with the shading and brightness of hair. Still haven't decided on the palettes, but I think I like the pinks, too.
@aprettylittleliar: I really am flattered!! THANKS!!!

Thought I'd post a quick preview of one of the many things I'm working on.

Currently in my queue: An outfit for the back doll, a back doll mannequin, a design of shoes, a new wig, a dress and then ... the following dress. Can you guess which movie this is from? ;)

Ding ding ding, we have a winner!!!

I haven;t finished it yet as I want it to be as good as I can, but...soon very soon!

A quick thing! I haven't done any shoes yet, so I decided to work on one design to start this off and then one thing led to another and you have this:



Color Varitaions:


Original Inspiration (The design is not the same but that's what got me going):

DARKY!! Man all these designs are so well made and the shading and color palletes are fantastic. The way you create pleats ughh I'm so jealous </3

I'm so excited for Hermione's dress because I love it and I wanna see it so badly. even the unfinished one looks great tbh the basic outline for the pleats are great.

The hairline on your wig seems a bit high but other than that everything looks great ahhh you're so talented.

It's sooo cute :star: and for some reason I like it more than the original "real" dress
