goth girl

Yes! I finished one!

Below is the first face, shown in the wip post. I redid it and like it much better, although I will still be experimenting with applique shadows. The new eyes have a small border of a darker purple felt.

Her boots have embroidered buckles and felt straps-

Photographing her was a challenge.  Dark colors are often difficult, and the weather didn’t help- here is a windy action shot- Tim-ber!

    Mimi, you made the right choice with the eyes! Now she looks grungy, with heavy eye makeup, but still approachable. The blue around the eyes is fantastic.

    Hi there, I’ve just discovered your blog and I love your dolls! I’ve also made a goth doll; I was very inspired by the Japanese Harajuku culture. Had some trouble with mine’s dark eyes though… You can see her here if you’re interested: http://www.flickr.com/photos/23819140@N04/2709964036/in/set-72157604125677980/

    Angst ridden youths! I love them! They wear so many shades of black. I think you’ve captured their untapped potential superbly! She’s great.

    At least she would have been quiet in that last shot. Most other models would have been complaining about the cold!
