I
admit I loved playing with paper dolls as a kid. I loved dressing them and
making new dresses from paper (although my creations definitely left something
to be desired). I’ve not thought about them for a long time, though, ever since
my dolls went the way of everything made of paper and ripped. But today I
stumbled over a nice website dedicated
to all those little Flash games out there which are basically digital paper
dolls. I spent a very funny afternoon making several different types of those
dolls. Some of them I will show here, so it’s going to be a picture heavy post
this time.
The
Dandy Maker was my
original link to the site, shared by a Steampunk group on Facebook. I only made
two Dandies there so far and only took a snapshot of one, so here he is:
Same
time period (roughly), but opposite gender is the Victorian Butterfly.
I made three of them, one very regular, one more Steampunk-ish, and one rather
dressed for bed than for society.
The
doll I made most use of so far was X-Girl, which allows you to
create a female comic character. I made nine of them already and I’m not going
to share them all here.
Another
doll I had a lot of fun with was Princess of
Doom. I made two princesses so far, unfortunately, you can’t put them more
into the centre of the picture, perhaps I should cut them out and post them
again.
There are lots of other
dress-up dolls on that site, including most interesting time periods, a lot of
TV-series, movies, books, and games, and a lot of fantasy stuff. Give it a go,
if you enjoy playing around with such dolls.
