Casual

Base
Even though he's really old, he still survives every purge. What can I say, I still think he's pretty good.

Base
I re-joined UG for this base and haven't been back since, so I have no idea if it's still there, but that's the last I heard. This doll was originally going to be a young Tonks (hence details the moon necklace), but she didn't quite work out that way. Still, I love her anyway.

I really like her hair and the way her dress/top is shaded. The outfit is mostly inspired by one Marissa wore in The OC.

My base
Vaguely inspired by the quirkiness of Clementine from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (aka, weirdly coloured hair). I really like this one, she's got such a relaxed look and she's nicely scruffy.

My base
I have more dolls with names than I think I do, this one's called Mia. The top's inspired by a Candybar one. I love her hair.

Base
The remake of an older doll which marked a substantial improvement in my shading at the time. Without really trying, this one's much better, which is encouraging XD.

Base
The one who graced a layout for a fair while. I still think this kid is cute, and I love that her shoes are obviously the same as a pair I own. If I had socks like this, I'd wear them with those shoes and get laughed at.

Base
I love the shading on her dress, though her hair reminds me a little too much of the short hair on Belville girls.

My base
I didn't especially like this one for a long time because I thought she was boring. After a long time she finally grew on me, and I quite like her now.

Base
I have that top! I really like the shading here, especially on the wall. I'm not usually much good at walls like this, but this one worked well. I like the grass too.

Base
The excitement that is a male doll. I'm pretty proud of the shading on his trousers, and I love his hair. Originally made for a full male doll tutorial, but I like him too much for that XD.

Base
I love the shading on this dress. I don't even care that, given how creased it is, it probably reaches her knees. I like her shoes too, and her hair (even though it's pretty much copied completely from an older doll of mine).

Base
I love her outfit, especially the way the tattered jeans worked and that the hat actually looks knitted (to me, at least).

Do not adopt
My base
My gift to friends for Christmas '06, minus an array of glowing fairy lights. She was originally going to be me, and kind of still is, but not enough to actually be in with dolls of me. I'd feel like a fraud when I only have one thing from the outfit and have never been in a bubble chair. I love this one, she looks so cosy without being intensely Christmassy. And I like how much better she is than the last one I did on this base.

Bases
Done for a sisters contest. I'm so proud of this little group. I could say so much about it but won't because that would be boring, instead I'll just assure you that a lot of thought went into these three, mostly in ways most people probably won't notice.

This dolls took ages, mostly because of the pattern on her skirt which you can barely see. While I couldn't decide whether to give her a necklace or not at first, now I can't see how I ever liked the other version as much as this one.

Base
Just a quick thing really. I really like the shading on her jeans. Her hair worked quite well too. Her slippers are a bit funky, as much as I like how they worked.

Base, Inspiration
I like the colours and hair on this one, but the dress is a bit weirdly shaded. Hmm.

Base
I love this doll. I think it's just all the different patterns. So easily pleased.

My base
She has an umbrella! She originally had a plain bluey-grey one that, shading-wise, actually looked better than this one, but I couldn't resist giving her a rainbow one. I love her hair. A lot.

My base
A fairly plain doll in jeans. I quite like how they turned out and I like her shoes, but her hair and top are a bit odd.

Base
Mostly based on a picture of Ingrid Michaelson. I really like the top half of the doll and don't especially like the bottom half. Her hair's cute.

I really like this one. Especially her hair. And her t-shirt, glasses and shoes. The trousers aren't bad either, if I do say so myself.

Base
My first doll in a long time. I quite like her, though was surprised at how rusty I felt after only a few months.

My base
Testing a new portrait base. I really love how the hair worked.

Base
This was a refreshing doll to draw. I spent much longer on her than I usually do even though the outfit isn't anything special, and I'm really satisfied with the result.

Base
Just a simple summery doll. She's kind of cute, but a bit boring. I like her hair and shorts though.

My base
I worked on this one on and off for a few weeks from making the base to finishing the dolls, and I'm really, really happy with the end result. I especially like her hair and jeans.
