If they ever make a Jackson/Holt two pack I hope they have corresponding outfits like the Jem/Jerrica fashions:

I really hope Fang Vote Catty does well.

Or at least well enough for them to keep making more G3 Skullectors.

G3 earns a piece of that pie, TBH.

too many ppl who know nothing about Filipino folklore n culture r talking shit about my ate. she’s based off of the manananggal, which you can compare to the European vampire, if that helps you understand it better. although, i’m reluctant to mention that becuz some ppl, who choose to be ignorant, currently hold the view that she’s just an Asian-colored vampire mishmash monster. she is not. other than the fact that she manages to exist at all, here are some details i appreciate about her.

first, she has a face that looks like my family’s. that’s my lola’s nose. that’s my mom’s birthmark. shit, those are my uncle’s cheekbones. the headpiece features jasmine, our national flower. the translucent petals are cool.

second, you can display her in two pieces, split by the torso. its not just a “cheap gimmick” you ignorant pos. at nightfall, the manananggal severs itself in two, leaving behind a vulnerable lower half while its upper half hunts for nourishment - blood, raw hearts, livers, fetuses. the red fringe represents her dangling intestines, hanging loose as she flies after ripping her body apart. the string detail is on the skirt for consistency, but also, intestines are long as fuck? why wouldn’t they also hang from the bottom, assuming they also get split in half.

while we’re on the outfit, the top is an extremely traditional (Spanish colonial, ugh) style in both fabric and shape. i have attire that looks exactly like it, minus the monster high red foil pattern. the tiny, “woven” sleeve cuffs are a nice touch. the earrings and bracelets look to be woven palm too, but aren’t as effective in plastic. the bottom half skirt is quite a bit shorter than is traditional, and the heels higher. it’s a monster high doll.

most accurate would be barefoot, tbh. but you guys would riot, and again, its a doll. actually, the shoes reference a lot from Filipino culture. the heel is a coconut tree overlooking a kubo, a one-room stilt hut built with natural materials such as bamboo and palm, and specifically made to be remade as necessary. the sole is “wooden”, also an accessible material of which some shoes were made with. it is attached by braid to what looks to be a straw strap. also not unusual for a shoe.

her fan and wings feature embroidery, and if you look closely at the latter, you will see a thin and delicate flora design in between the spider web pattern. this is extremely reminiscent of calado, a type of traditional hand embroidery akin to lace that is difficult as fuck. a dying art, btw.

i didn’t wake up looking to ride this hard for a plastic woman lmao. but if you’re gonna come for her, it better be because of the fluorescent green in her colorway and not because you don’t know what you’re talking about. honestly, a lot of Filipinos are just happy to be considered and celebrated. “wins” like this mean everything. maybe it’s not good enough for your collection, but now you know more about my culture than you would’ve gone out of your way to. and that’s good enough for me.

Couldn’t decide which Frankie I wanted to draw more so I ended up doing both of them…

Got her eyes (cannot stand this set in her. I think she needs smaller irises, or something) in and eyelashes and wig on.

Did doll shit todaaayyy!!!!! It's always a treat, as I rarely have the energy for it these days.

Anyhow, I've been working on The Moon from the tarot series by Dollzone. I got her as a fullset, but never really vibed with her faceup and blushing.

Here's the before and after, with before on the left:

Her reds are deeper and shinier, her spine isn't pink and loud more like bones, and her makeup is mainly mossy texture.

I also did some painting on my G3 Spectra!! She logs properly ghostly now. Going to add glow pigment to resin and coat these for a smooth, glowing, shiny finish, I think. Also restyled both her and her new gf, Monique

Also I'm really enjoying that Monster High top along with the tight pants and stiletto-esque heels. I repainted Monique a while ago, but I don't think I took any pictures then. I go back and forth on her look tbh, but I really like it with Harris Reed's top. Seems like a nice, butch formal wear outfit

Oh dip, I gotta get her earrings!!

I forgor to share the final doll lol.

Face is loosely based on drawing my beautiful girlfriend made. (Yes, I did the eye colors wrong)

It was my first reroot work so it's not perfect, but works for now

Eeeee hee hee hee!! Got my bjds out for the first time in Years. Going to wipe this Dollzone lovely and completely redo her. She's too pink and healthy looking for my taste. Plus their faceup's ear is chipped, and I want her insides deep red and glossy wet looking like they should be. Same with those wounds. GLOSS and SUBTLE DISEASED BLUSHING EEEE HEE HEE HEE

Cannot wait to see how she turns out.

I'm wearing her in an ita bag I cut up to a doll meet soon 🥰

They're going to look so good

Also forgot I had this 2006 Lutz Lishe girlie!! I did her faceup ages ago, still looks good. Might do another coat or two of gloss on her lips.
