Doll Photography #9

     Previous parts: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, and #8 

I was looking through my blog, and realized I had not continued this series in a while. Basically, it is photos that weren't included in photo shoots, or photos that couldn't be made into a long photo shoot. 

This time around all the photos in this post were taken for different photo shoots which I will include in the post. 

Let's begin: 

This is a photo of Gwinna. I like how her hair looks. 

It didn't end up getting into this photo shoot. 

But I do like how it looks like a portrait. 

This was taken for a yoga themed photo shoot. I tried to make her do a side-bridge like pose. 

I like how it turned out. 

I really like this photo of Elm, because of the angle. Though this photo unfortunately didn't get included in this photo shoot. 

I really like this photo it looks like she is meditating. 

I really like the close up of her clothes-- it allows me to see all the details of her shirt and skirt. 

I like this photo, but I do feel that the lighting is off.

Elm (A Photo Shoot)

Hello fellow Doll lovers! 

I thought I would do a post featuring Elm, since I already did a customization of her here. 

Elm is a character of my mine, who is a dryad with a magical singing voice. 

  

Also, if you want to, you can still leave a caption in this round's What's Happening in This Picture?

Anyway onto the photo shoot: 

I really like the composition of this photo. 

I really like this photo, it looks like Elm is walking down a path.

I really like this photo for some reason.

Custom Doll: Elm

Hello everyone,
                             
I had been wanting to make custom dolls of some of my characters for a long time.  Previously, I had made a doll of Gletta Short a character from Eyes in the Night before this (I plan to post her customization in the future), so I felt I should make a doll of one of my other characters...

 I decided it was time to make Elm my dryad character, who appears often on my creative arts blog. She is a dryad with a magical singing voice, and her singing can cause magical things to happen. 

I started with this doll. I hadn't decided who I was going to turn her into at first. 

I was thinking perhaps Hazel from Heroes of Olympus, but then I decided she would be the perfect Elm. 

I removed her factory paint using nail polish remover 

(and rinsed her off under the sink afterwards). 

Then I began painting the area where her eyes had been white for the pupils 

and cutting her hair, as it was too short and not the right color. 

Then using a reference image I usually use when drawing her, I added more details to her face. 

I also  gave her yarn hair that matched her 

hair color, given that Elm's hair is black and the doll's hair had been brown. 

I then began by painting her right eye. 

I then finished the right eye. (But I don't have a photo of painting the pupil). 

I then made her chiton, I tried to make it look somewhat Greek like. 

Before                                                                                                                                                After

Have you ever made a doll of your original character?
