Candybar Doll Pseudo-Hogwarts-Uniforms

[keristars.livejournal.com]

I recently became addicted to the paper-doll aspect of Candybar (http://www.elouai.com), but was sad when I could only find two Hogwarts Uniform sites, and they didn't have quite what I wanted. Then I was happy, because I figured out how to make such things on my own. I'm a Hufflepuff, so I began with my House colors, but I've also done some things in the other House colors, too. Visit http://www.unreliablenar8r.net/dolls/index.html for the whole set. I am posting these to this community because I couldn't find a better one that all Houses were part of.



The first is based on a dress I own from Banana Republic, with a bolero style sweater and the House badge. It is two seperate images, coming in four colors each. The second is a pair of black pinstriped pants, which are kind of uniformish, and a Hufflepuff ballcap (only in yellow so far). The third is a pair of black jeans, again kind of uniformish, and a polo shirt with the House badge on the left breast.

The faces, hair, accessories, and the yellow and black striped sweater are from other doll sites.

Keri pwns. x3 I saved all my dolls, I just have to make with the iconage. >_>!

I made another buttload of dolls for you while practicing my pixel-art skills. -.- And then I changed the face and they became my test-subjects. I started to feel like an evil genius with the cloning and whatnot.

I'm so obsessive.

Speaking of, could you give me the link for that again? I don't have it on the new laptop. Which I still need a name for. >_>

Obsessively evil! It sets my heart aflutter.

http://pics.livejournal.com/keristars/gallery/00006aad - this one? I noticed that I didn't make the 'Claw badge teensy on some of the polo shirts, so it looks all big and icky, compared to the new 'Claw polo. It's an early version, obviously. ;)

Oooh...did I tell you about the day that I stepped on every single sidewalk crack I came upon? My mother's back was killing her.

(You should name it Bob.)

sweet! i love it... especially the Puff hat. thanks for sharing! ^_^

Thank you! I thought the Puff cap was cool, too - I was inspired to create Muggle-ish phys.ed. uniforms because of it, hence the shorts and polos on the site. Eventually, I'll have caps for all Houses, but I haven't figured out the best way to change the color, and it was yellow originally. There'll be multi-colored shorts and jeans, too, because I figure I might as well have all the Houses represented in everything, to make complete sets.

That one, thank you. x3 No big. ;D

*le gasp!* Keri, you naughty thing. :o!

(goldendaugter suggested FredBob, actually. I think my computer's a girl though. If it turns out it's a boy I have to use Hayes or Cooper or Colbert or something, it's shiny and a little questionable so those names fit. As it happens I may go with Cooper anyway.)

Great stuff! Will you also do male versions for your fellow "Puff-Daddies" ;) Those things look so incredibly great that I saved the complete set for later use... But, as said, a dress would not really suit me... ;)

Why are they all caucasian?

[keristars.livejournal.com]

Sure, but it may take me a while. I'm not familiar with the body shape or anything of the male doll yet.

Because I forgot to remove the arm from the shirt before I uploaded them, and I hadn't figured out skin tones yet. I actually had plans to create different skin tones, and was working on it while I was offline yesterday. I only started doing these about three days ago and I got excited to share before I finished all the variations. :P

Wow, my original comment sounded really impolite. Sometimes I wonder about myself...

If that's true, I didn't notice! It was legitimate, and something I had been thinking about and working on anyway. I gotta say, though, that trying to make different skin tones for different features like noses, mouths, eyebrows, eyes, &c, is really tedious, even while using 'copy style' and layers and stuff.
