Title: [Still looking!] Calling all custom Makers!
Post by: aerieberry on December 11, 2012, 01:21:14 PM
Hey everyone!

I'm looking for someone to bring my dolly dreams to life. I keep going back to 2 characters from 2 completely different backgrounds that would translate well to MH style in my head.... I need a courageous custom maker to make them come true!

I would love Alexstrasza the Life Binder from World of Warcraft!


Her armor would most likely be sculpted (as I can't imagine someone working on such intricate details with textile), which shouldn't be too much of an inconvenience as her joints are mostly deprived of bulky armor. I would like her cape to be fabric though, and her hair to be brushable (a rehair; not a wig). I think she is a beautiful and powerful character that would fit right into my collections!

And Ramona Flowers from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World!

Ramona's hair color and color scheme in general varies widely due to the fact that her original depiction in the books is black and white. Since then, color editions have slowly been released and the movie too; but much is still left to interpretation! Ramona has many outfits that I'm enamored with... I'm hoping my customizer helps me pick one!

If all goes well with Ramona, I would love to start bringing the whole cast to life... Roxy, Kim, Scott, Envy...

Picking just ONE outfit or ONE hair colour would be the hardest part!

Oh gosh I love Ramona. You could always have her hair done with wigs to make it changeable.

I am thinking Alexstraza's armor would be sculpted, just her hair would be... hair. I don't think it would be doable to sew so many tiny intricate pieces!

Do you have a gallery I can see? I am patient and none of these are emergencies. :) Finding an interested artist means much more to me then a delay!

I'd love to see  Alexstraza as a doll. She's so pretty and such a powerful dragon.

She is definitely one of my all time favorite characters. She is beautiful and profound, and even though her outfit is quite revealing; I don't see it as some hyper-sexuallized weakness. She is strong and wise. And really; she's a really bad-ass dragon!

She would be fun to try to make. I have only done one MHdoll but I don't have any photos till I get her back from the hairdresser.
I have done armor on ponies.

It looks like Angellove has you covered, but I'd like to volunteer myself as back-up, because I would LOVE a shot to create a Alexstrasza the Life Binder custom as I love to sculpt. I don't think I'd do so well with Ramona because I'm not good at sewing on that scale yet.

I don't know if I have her covered. lol but would love to give it a try.
I am with you Saiko about sewing getting better but I can only make dresses.

Sure!
  I have mostly MLP-- I have a few MH in the works and did a Sugar Skull awhile back. I found more interest in MLP customs than MH so I've been keeping more with those.

I am an Ex WoW addict (Only ex because my current desktop won't run it!!) and a comic book nerd BIG TIME.

I have more photos of my MH custom on my other laptop of you want to see them.

Who did you want to use as the base for Ramona?

I am actually not sure! To me she would have a rather light skintone (and this idea in reinforced by her depiction in the movie) And like... None really fit that I can think of... Cleo is the most "natural" colored one and she is still much tanner then I would think Ramona is.

Suggestions?

Either Draculaura or Cleo, I would think. Unless you found someone to paint her completely and then it's all open.
