Kind of in a doll slump. I was making this one and it’s king of finished. I was going to make a story about them but idk. For this one I tried smaller eyes and some different eyelashes and eyebrows.

The idea was that they got the harpy TF and became a false idol. Someone that believes they are a savior but is really just leading people into darkness and gaining power from it. The darkness that leaks through the cracks has made a contract with this delusional shepherd. The reason they’ve lived so long is because they are trapped within this contract but they don’t have as great of an influence as they once did. As a traveler they find the town of Degrees of Lewdity and oh how they are thrilled to find they have some influence here (all the darkness sure does help).

That’s what I was thinking of. Like someone that would appear after a year of the player playing in some kind of hard mode? Special plot you can activate for fun. I think you’d just slowly start encountering some ‘dazed’ people on the street that are followers. Slowly getting more aggressive and larger in number if the player doesn’t intervene in some way. Like I’m talking almost constant encounters even in broad daylight. One way would be with the church if your a member of it or if you have a lot of love with River they’ll also be doing some things. I just like making stories so I’m not thinking super deep, just whatever is in the top of my head, same for my other characters.

Heyyyyyy…. I got a math test in like 2 days and I’m like 3 chapters behind… so ya. I’ll be gone for longer periods of time with less output till I can get my stuff together. (Already do that but eeeee.)

Todays plushie is of a pc from @rttnpnkpmpkn

I was trying to make the doll more simple. The dolls i usually make are for pretty purposes only so they wouldn’t be used for making the doll (inspo? Yes, but the company would need to redraw into a simple and clearer form to actually be usable.)

The hair has more defined lines for it to be able to have the embroidery lines put there. I was doing more research on dolls recently so I’ll talk about stuff more below.

Doll break down below

Braids, animal traits (just any limbs that aren’t the usual base, even elf ears), braids, multi color hair, complex embroidery, and other stuff will cost extra with companies. I never really brought up what is and isn’t part of the initial cost. Usually the price you pay is for 1. The design they make with you and 2. The doll itself. The doll will not be clothed as that is extra (an entire outfit for them is usually around 20 dollars) and will not have a skeleton (makes them posable) unless extra is payed. What I design for is the usual 20cm dolls but there are more the exist. The second most common is 10cm, they are used for keychains or as a child for the 20cm dolls (from what I’ve seen people do). Dolls with things like animal ears, elf ears, tails, wings, etc usually have 20-30 dollars added on to the original pricing. Big body mods such as spider bottom half, octopus bottom half, longer limbs, etc, generally large changed to the body are both hard to find pricing for and hard to find customs of. There are premade dolls that are like this but having one made personally is something I have seen as of yet so I have no reference for it. Also a know most doll makers sell the clothes and also have custom clothes on their stores as well. 10cm is usually 70-80 dollars while 20cm is 100-200. Buying around the holidays gives opportunities for discounts on websites like Etsy.

Why did I bring up the extra limb thing and body mod? Well a lot of DOL characters have large chest and I was thinking for a while on how that would work on these dolls. For past dolls I’ve been doing different things, not doing the chest, just putting embroidery for chest lines, or drawing them on. So I decided I wanted to actually see if this was possible. Probably is!

Drawing wise I’d say I put to much detail on the bell. It’s kind of funny so I didn’t change it but I’ll do a more simple one next time I do a doll in the ‘drawn for manufacturing’ style. Also I don’t know whether or not I made the eyes too wide? I picked a reference photo where the character was very small and far away (not a good move on my part).

Haven’t been I the doll mood for a little. I’ll probably be on the weekend. For now here is me trying to figure out Lelki’s character.

My first rendition was cute but it looked more like how she would have as a teenager.

Didn’t do a proper coloring. Used orange for my most of it just because that’s the color I felt like using the sketch. Not a proper character sheet (Need to get better at that), but it’ll do.

Here old design will probably be used for another character. Her younger sister most likely. Her story is going to be revamped a little after her final redraw. I’ll also make her sister a more separate character after I’m done with Lelki.

Sup everyone! Doll of today! Meant to post this yesterday but I got distracted by how to train a dragon.

The PC I picked is from @spilledquills

What caught my attention was this piece with multiple panels showing parts of the PCs experiences/life. Contrast of regular life and the underbelly of living in the DOL world. I thought it was cool.

Still not great at necklaces. For expression I was looking between the two versions. Idk if one was the past and the other present or if it was about them having more than one side to their personality. In the end I unconsciously merged the expressions and the doll looks frustrated? Sad?

Doll break down below.

Now. Short or medium fur would do good for this doll. Bangs could be embroidered to the face but I’d have to adjust it so the eyebrows and hair aren’t so close. Haven’t talked about hair accessories when it comes to bangs that are embroidered to the face instead of a separate piece. Two options I’d say would either be having the accessory embroidered or it being Velcro on one side so we can stick to the fur that is the hair. One issue is that it probably kind of mess up the fur a little bit overtime not greatly but still. But if the fur is long enough, you could probably use either the regular hair clip. For the glasses, they could clip onto the fur as well with their little handles on the side (as in it having something like this little laundry clips put onto the end so we can clip to the hair. If the doll has ears then normal glasses would do. Freckles can be added with a fabric pen which gives freedom.

Drawing wise? I haven’t done an extreme detail doll in a while so I’ll try it again. Want to see my progress. Also I’ve now realized that the reason the dolls don’t have the same details every time (shiny hair, texture, eyes details, etc) is that while I like adding my own details I ended up instinctively trying to stick closer to what the OG artist does. It’s not bad but I need to start developing my own process more.

Also here is my progress photos since I’ve never really shown em.

Greetings everyone!! The new doll is here!

This PC is that of @yetiwang2000 (idk why but the blog doesn’t show up when I look it up, can only get to it via @ s on others post).

The sharp art style and personality of the character was what had me interested.

I tried my best but the hair didn’t turn out the way I wanted it to. It’s ok though, learning is always happening.

Doll break down below.

For the hair, I feel like doing something a little unique. Either super long fur which you style into shape (like hair) or short fur then cut the fabric into the shape. You could do that with doll hair, but often times doll hair is very silky and not as fluffy and puffy as fur would be. For all the other hair that have gradient same for this one I don’t know what a doll manufacturer would do, but it’s probably a case by case basis on whether or not somebody would do this for a doll. For the tail, it’s more unique than the ones I’ve done in the past as since it’s skinnier, because of that you could do a wire tail. Basically taking a piece of wire and sewing fabric around it. More pose-able, but there’s a risk of the wire breaking and also you have to figure out how to keep it in place in the body. I drew the scar is very thin, but they would have to be thicker if you wanted them to be embroidered. If that’s not what you want then a fabric marker would probably be the better options since as I said in previous post, it makes it a lot more customizable when you get the doll. Custom ear shapes will probably cost more but I’ve seen a lot of variants in animal ears so I don’t believe pointed ears will be that much of an issue. Just find the people that can do it.

Drawing wise, I put this on the back burner for a bit. I was peeling the skin off my fingers and generally had midterms going on so yeah. I probably the one thing I would want to improve on are the scars and hair since they’re not exactly coming out the way I imagine them to be. I need to get better with the blushing and shading around scars since I’m not used to it and for the hair I feel I didn’t add enough dimension to it. Also, I tried doing boobs again, but I don’t know if they look good on the plushy or they be 3d or just embroidery.

Here some Avery art. I’m taking my usual break from dolls. Here is some other art in the mean time.

Nah, my last post about doing the Sydney plush once I got better? Turns out I’m too dedicated to the plushie gun to do that. I’m sick and bored so I went ahead and did it now.

The victim of the plushie gun? None other than Sydney! Both faithful and fallen.

My skirt game wasn’t on point today unfortunately. As I said in my last post, I based Sydney off of my Sydney from my main game. I might do other versions of Sydney in the future but it’s a maybe. For the other LIs I’ll also be basing them off of the ones in my main game. Also how do you check the descriptions of the LI after you meet them? I don’t know how and I got dirt brain so I hold no memories. My memory picks random things to remember. Like I don’t remember peoples name but I do sure as hell remember lots of animal facts and how jaw breakers are made.

Now for the break down below!

These dolls would to great with regular doll hair! Also the hair colors are common enough that it’s likely the doll maker would have these colors. The bruises on fallen could be done with fabric pens. I’d recommend putting some of that on a sponge and lightly dab the areas you’d want the bruises. Custom touch but also I don’t know how much a company would charge you if they did it for you. The clothes are simple school uniforms so it should be fine. Tie can be clip on. I also think adding a little angel wing embroidered to both their backs would be cute since Sydney got some… supernatural strength. (I gave pure a hair clip since I like giving gifts to the love interest and I like the idea of getting clips for Sydney :)

Terms of drawing, as I said the skirts aren’t my best. I’ve done better before. Honestly not feeling super great so I’ll let it slide for today. Liked the brush I used for the bruising. Looks so nice! Also the pink overlay on the hair is nice. Found it fun trying to portray the personality change from pure to fallen.

Anyway, hope everyone who voted Sydney enjoys this!

[cadaverdolls]

Sydney won! I’m sick at the moment so the doll will be delayed till I’m better. I might do Kylar next time since they really started to climb in votes. Definitely want to try doing all the LI. I’ll be basing the Sydney doll off of my main game. Pure female Sydney. I’ll also do fallen Sydney if I have time. I’ll see y’all next time when I post Sydney!

Edit: I FORGOT TO CLARIFY. What I’m make is a drawing. It’s meant to mimic a drawing that would be used for a plushie company to make a plushie from, the ones that make those chibi ones for games. Usually referred to as cotton dolls online.

Idk how to stop polls earlier but the one for what I should do for my 30th doll are in favor of a LI. So I’m post this poll now since this will literally take forever till the polls end. If the tides to change on the OG pull then I’ll just save the results of this poll for another time.

Which love interest should I turn into a doll? (If you really really really want me to turn someone that isn’t a LI then tell me in the tags or comments.)

Is Ivory Wraith a LI? I can’t remember. Haven’t encountered them a lot since I’m literally always running around like a lunatic. Also for some reason they only bother me when I don’t steal the neckless.

A custom one usually cost 100 or so but to manufactured on a larger scale for consumers it would only cost you 20 or so. I’d need to find a company, send my concept design, have them send me a prototype (each one cost 100-300 so if changes need to be made then I could be looking at spending a lot of money on just prototypes), once decided I’d have to order a stock and that means you need to usually order a huge quantity (300 but some companies probably do a little less, still 300 is on the smaller side). Protyping, buying stock, shipping, website management (or store management if you’re using something like Etsy), and advertising. It’s a lot of time and effort to get plushies made as a single individual and it’s a risky investment if you don’t have enough customers. If I did do something further down the line then I’d have to be sure that it be worth the effort.

Just wanted to break that down so people understand what this poll is about. I have been plushie gun for a bit now and I completely forgot to clarify that this wouldn’t be a physical item. It may be in the future if I ever get an embroidery machine but that’s a what if idea.

[cadaverdolls]

Ello everyone,

This doll is 29 so I did two outfits for it.

The character is that of @degrees-of-fuck ! I liked the little lamb feets

☁️ Poof! ☁️

First one is outfit I saw them wearing and the second one was something I made up that I thought would fit the vibe. Gave shoulder pads (::

Doll break down below

Curly hair is actually something I’ve seen offered by some doll makers. The small curls I’ve seen can work with this style. I haven’t recommended it in the past for another doll since that doll had larger curls. The lamb ears I’ve also been seen done before. It’s a flooded oval of sorts and sewn to the head. Horns would probably be a semi flattened circle (like a puffy pancake) with horn details sewn into it. This is a simple method of seen for some other plushies in the past (not the ones I talk about) but each company may have different ideas or are more willing to do more complex methods. Only issue? The legs. I’ve seen people do bottom half wolf legs for these dolls before but it’s not common and would definitely add on to the price. If price isn’t a concern then it’s would just be a matter of finding the right person to do it.

Drawin wise I didn’t add the shading or shines today since I got to get ready for dog sitting tomorrow. I need to get better with making the pupils straight.

My 30 doll is coming up. I’ll be doing something special (basically just different from what I usually do) every 30 dolls. What should I do for doll 30? If there is something I didn’t add that you’d want to see or a specific character you’d really want then please put it in the comments.

[cadaverdolls]

Heyooooooooo!! Plushie gun is aimed and ready.

Today we got @daheitu !!!

☁️ Poof! ☁️

Bam! I wasn’t sure if the TF was wolf or fox but the vibes I got from this PC was mischievous so I made the tail foxy.

Doll break down below

Terms of hair? Doll hair would do good for this one but if you prefer fur then I’d recommend medium to short fur. The ears seems to be something turned off and on but tail is constant? Ears can be magnetically attached and tail can be sewn on. If you want to do more than one TF then both features could be magnetized. Not every company does animal feature or the magnetic attachments. Companies/makers have different things about them (the materials they have to chose from, how they design, etc) so it be up to the person wanting the plushie to look at each product to see who they want to choose to make the plushie.

Drawing wise? Tongue and teeth! Didn’t get it to look exactly like I wanted but that will be fixed with practice. Shadows still need improvement. Want blur but also solid? Idk I’ll be experimenting. Like a mad scientist.

[cadaverdolls]

Nvm my mom lied to me. Why would she do that bruh. Anything labeled 2025 is incorrect.

I didn’t realize it was 2025 so all my Plushie guns have been labeled with the wrong date. Just image it says 2025 for anything past January.

[cadaverdolls]

Greetings everyone! I have to leave for class soon so this will be short.

Today’s plushie is that of @skrumzz !!

☁️ Poof! ☁️

Took the eye whites away since I think it looks cute without it.

Doll break down below

Doll hair could totally work with this one. The hair style isn’t to complicated so it do fine. Face is all good too! I changed the outfit a little for the fun of it.

Drawing wise? I didn’t have time to do any texture brushes but this one looks good even without it. Wanted to add some shading though :(

I’ll make more time for it. My midterm drafts were due this week which is why I was busy.

Who is it today that will face the plushie gun?

The character of @c2caramel

I couldn’t find a full body of the character so some details might be off.

☁️ Poof! ☁️

Get flattened. I don’t know why this happened but I thought it was funny.

Doll breakdown below

Doll hair would work great with this dolls big pony tail. It save from the problem of not getting the full detail of the lashes. The two tone might cause an issue if the maker only allows one tones. Also the long lashes might pose an issue but it will probably be fine (embroidery can’t be too close to the seam). Also I didn’t know what the accessor on the neck was so I thought it was the spiked choker. ACTUALLY!! The face writing (I think that’s what it is?) would be difficult to do with embroidery so maybe a fabric pen would do. You can customize it that why by doing it yourself after getting the doll.

Drawing wise I’m pretty pleased. Still need to work on my shadows. Got lots of texture in. Might add a paper texture to the other all piece next time? Made a folder with all my favorite brushes because I kept forgetting which ones I liked. It helps. Been experimenting in some of my free time.

I’m writing this a midnight so I really don’t have a lot to say.
