MH - Spectra Vondergeist Revamp

Here's another revamped set of Spectra Vondergeist! One of my favorite characters and another set I made from long time ago. The old one sucked and really wanted to make a better version of her hair and dress so I remade them.

A list of things I’d suggest to make Lenore Loomington’s design work better:

1. Since she’s a ghost, I think it would be only right for her to be translucent. She even has the eyeband makeup from Haunted! It baffles me that she isn’t translucent already.

2. Either add some painted detail to the plastic accessories, OR make them glow in the dark. Personally, I’m leaning towards the second. I think thematically, since she’s supposed to be an eerie ghost walking through a garden at night holding a lantern, it would only make sense for there to be glow in the dark details. (It even looks like some parts already might be but?? Since they’re not making a show of it I’m presuming they don’t actually)

3. Please put her hair up. Not only would it help sell the Victorian vibes they’re going for, it would also better complement her headpiece (which, let’s be honest, looks kinda silly on its own) . Also it would make her stand out more! As it is she looks like someone just put her on the default settings…

4. This is the sort of thing that might be easier to draw than to explain but…. I think the plastic chest piece would be better if it covered less area. As it is, it completely obscure the top part of her dress, and it overall makes her look very messy and formless. I’m thinking something like a spiderweb-shaped under bust corset would’ve left more room for the dress to shine, and been a bit more flattering. Tbh just cutting off the top half of the current design might work.

5. I think something’s off about the stock pictures ngl. The fabric of the dress is So Dark, which obviously isn’t bad in itself, but, especially since the lighting itself is pretty dark, it means most of the details of the dress are completely obscured. Alternatively, they could’ve used a more reflective satiny material, so the texture difference would make printed on detail pop more.

6. Finally, and perhaps most importantly… her face up. I think there was an opportunity sorely missed in not making her look sad. Edgar Allan Poe’s poem is a tragic one! Make her look like a tragic figure! Give her sad brows, like how the Rochelle face ups have! Give her downturned eyes! The glitter tears are a solid idea and probably my fave detail, but I think it could’ve gone harder! Make them run down her cheeks!! Maybe even make them darker, so they really stand out!!! Honestly I genuinely think just changing her brows would make such a huge difference, it would make her seem more like a character with a personality and with whom you can relate to…. Which is especially important because she is this brand new character that no one has an emotional connection with. Make! Me! Care!!!

So yeah that’s my take.

Odette at the Lake (July 2022)

When you make a doll inspired by a character from a story about a lake, it stands to reason that it would be cool to photograph her with a lake!

I had a bunch of doll photos from summer of 2022 that I just hadn’t found the time or energy to clean up, so I went through some of them last night. More photos under the cut!

I particularly love this shot of her from behind. A couple years ago, I had a different photo of a doll from behind that someone mistook as a photo of a real person, and that was such a compliment. Even though it’d be hard to mistake that for most of my dolls, it’s made me appreciate capturing them from behind more.

Odette is just such a surreal doll, I love the way she came out. She’s one of my favorites from this past year, and I truly hope one day I can work my way up to designing Siegfried to go with her.

Grow Lights Market Will Reach USD 13,183 Million by 2030

As per a report by P&S Intelligence, the grow lights market will advance at 28% CAGR, to generate a value of USD 13,183 million, by 2030.

The growth in the industry is ascribed to the growing requirement for food as a result of the rising disposable income, increasing population, rapid urbanization, advancement of technologies in the agriculture sector, and the increasing preference for enhanced and new practices of farming.

The LED category is expected to dominate the grow lights market in the years to come. This is attributed to the increasing government programs to encourage the adoption of LED lights and drivers and the increasing demand for energy-efficient and affordable grow lights by consumers.

In the past few years, the retrofit category generated a larger revenue share in the industry, and it will remain larger in the years to come. This is because of the rising adoption of such lights in farming facilities due to their decreasing costs and the increasing number of new advanced farming facilities all over the world.

A key factor driving the industry is the necessity of more cost-effective grow light technologies in the cities. The expenditure on food production is high, and as a result, the requirement for economical food production is growing rapidly in urban areas.

Vertical farming is expected to observe the fastest growth in the years to come, growing at a rate of approximately 29.8%. This is attributed to the mounting requirement for herbs & food and the increasing number of such farms, mainly in developed countries, owing to the lack of space required to establish conventional farms.

In 2021, Europe generated the largest revenue share in the grow light industry, at approximately 33%, and it will remain the largest in the years to come. This is ascribed to the large consumer base and the substantial adoption of LED lights to grow plants inside commercial greenhouses in the region.

Developing nations, for example, India, South Korea, and China are the main buyers in the APAC grow light industry. This is credited to the rapid implementation of enhanced agricultural approaches, for instance, indoor horticulture, which resulted in a high horticulture light requirement in emerging nations.
