More Cleo
Some more Cleo updates since my last post about her on here! I mostly post on twitter nowadays but I like to keep this account somewhat up to date, especially since I can be more long-winded here lol
"Casual" Cleo (rerooted Ghoul Spirit Cleo) is finally finished! She's been mostly finished for a month or so but I dragged my feet doing the hair rings lol.
They're inspired by a set of wig rings found in the tomb of Sithathoriunet (Middle Kingdom, 12th Dynasty), shown here at The Met and here in an earlier Met exhibit, displayed on reconstruction wigs.
I couldn't find any metal beads in the right sizes or color (and I wanted them to be the same shade of gold as her accessories) so I made these myself with a handful of coffee stirrers that I painted and cut into little rings lol
Other than the hair rings, she's been given a pair of shoes since my last post (Goreganizer Cleo's shoes with the Skullettes dremeled off and painted), a new choker that I made by cutting MB Cleo's ponytail holder into separate pieces, sanding off a few parts and reassembling it (the cartouche on it actually spells her name btw!), a Gloom and Bloom Cleo purse that I painted to match her shoes and a new clasp on her kilt made with a G1 Cleo vanity bracelet.
Also, it was pointed out to me yesterday that the hieroglyphs on this top (from G1 I Heart Fashion Cleo) spell out to say "oh my Ra" phonetically lol. A nice touch that I never noticed!
And I also finished up this Cleo a while back but never posted her here lol
Her headdress is a heavily altered and repainted Monster Ball Cleo headdress; I just wanted the "core" of the headdress so I removed everything but the cow horns and sun disk with my dremel, then drilled a hole through the back and pinned it to her head lol.
The bracelets are all g1 Nefera bracelets that I repainted (as well as Nefera's necklace) and her shoes are from Skulltimate Secrets Cleo but repainted to match the rest of her accessories, and the hair rings are repainted G1 sig/Howliday Cleo bracelets.
The first two 'tiers' of hair are her original rooted hair, but the longest tier is an extension that I made and pinned to her head.
My general idea is that this is something she'd wear for temple ceremonies or religious events, or as a model for portraiture and statuary that represents her as an embodiment of Hathor? Not sure!
My SS2 Cleo custom got some small updates shortly after my last tumblr post about her, mostly just her new headdress and new fishnets that actually fit her lol
And finally a group shot of my current Cleo lineup:
Skulltimate Secrets Cleo (far left) and Goreganizer Cleo (second to the right) are still WIP but they look good enough to be part of the shot! I also have a partially rerooted Monster Ball Cleo waiting for a new fit too, but there's no room on this display for her and she's barely dressed anyway lol

I've been trying to make some more things for myself in between client and zine work for my own enjoyment. I've always loved Monster High, Draculaura specifically, since I was a kid. When G3 was announced, I was so thrilled to see the variety of body types that they gave the dolls. I was even more more excited when I realized that they gave my favorite girl the curvy body type. Little Jordan would've loved that, and I honestly couldn't help myself and bought her for my office.🥰 All the redesigns are so cute that I just had to draw them. Frankie and Clawdeen are next. More to come soon!

Fearidescent Draculaura joins the ranks of gorgeous gorgeous girls with saran ♡
I decided to give her a more icey look, forgoing the standard black streaks for white, I also wanted to show off her adorable widows peak!
I only have one more doll to reroot and then I'm DONE! For now at least, till the next inevitable polypropylene headed dolls from Monster High come out.

⚡️🧪 AMPED UP 🧪⚡️
MY FAV ALWAYS AHHH 💕⚡️💕
I love that Frankie literally had no extracurricular in the song—just pure vibes. Like yeah I’m not in any sports or a club or committee but watch this (passes out in the lab from too much zappuccino)
also can’t believe I finished this in a day 😱 maybe I had too much caffeine too
Alt hair below!
