Dolling meme

Journal Entry: Wed Jul 8, 2009, 1:23 PM



So....all the cool kids are doing this? o3o
...or was...

D O L L I N G . M E M E

1. How long have YOU been dolling?
I dunno, five years? I started when I was in 8th grade....holy poopers that's a long time :O

2. You have to like something about it; what is it? What do you enjoy dolling?
Actually this isn't more about dolling, but also pixeling in general: I love how I can control where every pixel is placed. With CG you can't really do that, not the same way as you could with pixels.

I also like experimenting with things in pixels.

3. What do you HATE dolling, eh? You know, clothes, hair..
...hair
It can be quite the bitch sometimes :x

and long, beautiful dresses. Don't understand how people can create them D:
They're so hard.

4. Your favorite part of your dolls, usually is:
-Using a bajillion colors :B
-The hair if it turns out good.
-The end result.

5. What do you put the most effort into: clothes/hair/stuff..or base editing?
I'm...not really sure. I would say hair and base editing, but sometimes something else in the doll takes longer than those two things combined.

Also, coming up with a good character design takes awhile for me.

6. Bases are a staple of the dolling community. Do you like using them, or do you prefer to go baseless?
I love using bases, dolling on different body styles that you didn't create is fun <333

7. Not all dollers are basemakers..are you?













Boobs
A: yes

8. Are you part of any dolling forums?
....I was, but then I forget to visit them. I'll stick to my DA and pixel joint.

The recent dolling forum I visited was GLAM! which was a few weeks ago.
Then it was Pixel-princess which I haven't visited in forever.
SPS was one of my first dolling forums that I ever joined. Still remember the url too. To bad it's mostly dead now.
I've joined a few back in the day, but after joining I never looked at the site again.

9. This community can suck ass sometimes. List for us FOUR pet peeves when it comes to the doll community, that you just wanna strangle people for:
One of the four feel a little more strongly about, can you guess which one? :lol:

-Not many male dollers
-Not a whole lot of male bases
-Needs more manly men dolls instead of the girly boys that should really be girls instead (although I'm not going to lie, some of the feminine guys are quite well done)
-Big ass traced bases with hardly any shading at all....You know what, trace if you want, I'm not stopping you (because I don't know who you are anyways), but at least shrink them down to dolling size and spend more time with the shading.

And bases aren't supposed to have clothes on them, THAT'S THE DOLLER'S JOB.
/rant about DA's doll community
Most of those bases look like they belong in the oekaki section anyways >__>;;

10. But there's awesome people here, too! List three a lot of your favorite dollers:
:iconthehword::iconxsirenx::iconlithriel::iconjishin::iconnicolabear::iconfionacreates: :icongaladnilien::iconmariiiis-dolls::iconlunie-chan::iconmouldycat:

11. Speaking of three people...Tag three dollers to do this.
No

Come help bring SPS back to life, there are... perhaps ten (at most) of us left but there's no dolling going on!

Blahg...
I hate the bigass bases too
some poses are good,
and i want to do them,
but i cant,
because there is no possible way something will look good on that big of a base.

Yeah, it'd take to much time to make something decent on those bases.
