Make your own dollmakers

So, a few people have been asking me for my dollmaker script that I used on my collaborative dollmaker project. I have modified it slightly and packaged it so that people can use it to make their own dollmakers. Now it's finally released on my site!

It's main features are:

• Easy to update with PHP. Just put stuff into the right folders and you're done! (though if you don't have php you can still use it, just it's. . . not as easy to update)
• Tabs for different categories of props (clothes, hair, etc) - for better organization and minimal scrolling
• Changeable base body - you can have as many skintones as you want
• The last thing you dragged goes to the top - so you don't get frustrated by the inability of certain clothes to go on top of others.

I'm way too late for that polka dot contest

Myeah. When the polka dot random challenge was announced I got the idea of remaking an old doll of mine that I had never actually finished (the doll from my mspaint pattern tutorial). I wasn't able to make it to the deadline because the time the contest was at was inconvenient for me. BUT, I decided to make the doll anyway. And I took the opportunity to try out ILCK's new Cora base (since the original was made on an old version of Cora)

WIP - Battle of the Races entry

Ok so I'm participating in BOTR (http://battleoftheraces.webs.com/). I usually ignore pageants, but when I saw the theme I couldn't resist.

So I've been working on my entry for the past week or so:

Bases: Portrait is by ILCK, full doll is by Duckie

I'm really proud of her, especially the base/face edit. I don't usually make faces from scratch, and usually just go in and modify what's already there to my own needs, but I really disliked the face on Duckie's base and I needed them to look like the same person.

I'm also reallly happy with how I did the hair. . . but I'm having so much trouble duplicating the same kind of hair on the portrait base. . . I must have made at least 10 sketches or something and I still can't get it to look right. But. . . I guess I'll get it eventually. I'll update when I finish the whole thing

EDIT: I'm finally finished!

New avvie

I think I'm well due for a new av. The one I was using previously is from the 2007 TG yearbook lol.

The base is exclusive to the Glam! forum.

Making Bases in MS Paint

When posting my Tulia base, I mentioned that she was for a basemaking tutorial. Well I just put it up!

This is the way I make my bases, using MS Paint, a scanner and some pencils/paper . You can read it here:

PS: If anyone has good links about body proportions that I could add to the tut, please post them.
