Be Zazzled!

I felt motivated by one of my very talented online friend, missmonster, to make a Zazzle page for myself when I saw that she had designed a really neat looking pair of shoes thru Zazzle.


Link to larger image.

To promote my own Zazzle gallery, the image above's poses was roughly referred from 2 of the models on Zazzle's page ^^. I have thus far added a few tee-shirt designs and fridge magnets, I'll be trying to think of more designs in future (hopefully won't get too busy or lazy :P).  Larger version of the image above can be found in Gallery page or as a text link under the image above ^^/

Currently only Ladies/Girl tees are available, but I am thinking of some designs which hopefully guys would wear -- design may be placed at the back of tee as suggested by someone *cough* -- you know who you are :P

If the blog code is working properly you probably may have seen the widget I popped into my blog on the right hand side :3

School girl quick art

I think I'll eventually change the background, but this one has to do for now :P

Click on image below to view full version, I have also quickly updated it into Gallery page ^^/

okay gotta grab quick lunch soon and back to work ^^;;;

There's something about Blythes

Disclaimer: I know not many people like dolls, and even less so blythe dolls, so I am not directly linking up to the photo which I was inspired from for that reason.

The image below is heavily inspired by a photo of one of my dolly friends took on flickr :)


I would say blythes was somewhat an "acquired taste" for me. My first "encounter" with blythe photographs online was one of her head opened, with all the inside eye mechanisms exposed, not the prettiest image for a first timer I must say!

I was of course rather freaked out initially, but over time I see more photos of blythe dolls taken all over world, going places, wearing clothing accessories lovingly hand made or purchased by their owners, in little photo stories... having different looks and occupations... and I guess I fell in love! :)

I discovered I could sew small clothing for this large big eyed girl with a smaller than barbie body, and realized I found an unexpected muse for myself after having relocated a few years ago, I haven't really looked back I guess! :) Blythe is still my favourite doll so far, why? Big head, check, big eyes, check, barely any nose, check, little mouth, check...! For some reason I can't get enough of her even tho I have other types of dolls in my collection I play with my blythes the most!

Non drawing-ish post

I apologize for the lack of posts, drawings etc ^^; been busy work life etc, and sometimes drawing have to take a back seat ^^;

Tumblred, a bit of pets tactics, a bit of flowers, and food at the end :P


In between some time I painted... faces on fabric, made these 2 bit by bit over a few days ^^; quite tricky to make ^^; I guess I could make these cos some parts of them are hand sewn, I can stay in front of the computer to do that :P  A few more pix at puppy52doll.com :)

Quick inking scans and rambles

Felt like a while since I posted any art posts! Sorry about that! Here are a couple scans of some quick inking practices. The thing with inking with real pen and paper is that there is no "control z" so if I made any mistakes there's no real turning back ^^;;; and I do not like to use white out (liquid paper?) If I do cleaning up in the computer, it takes way too long ^O^; But inking with pen is good practice for precision artwork ^^;/

While working at the shop on Thursdays when business is a bit slow, I read some scanlations online, some of the artworks I came across is really inspiring ^O^! Recently I especially enjoyed work by Minami Maki. Found her work while randomly clicking on the scanlation pages ^^; Love the detailing she put into the hair and eyes, and not to mention omakes crack me up so bad sometimes :P Her works are more Shoujo Manga tho, so guys may not like it as much me thinks?
