AYANO AISHI REDESIGN

yandere sim...

Guys I freaking love ayano... She's been on my mind for so long and I finally got out of an art block and the first thing i decided to do was draw her because do NAWT get me started on how terrible the actual promo art is..

Let me break down the redesign I had for ayano and also I kinda just did what I liked because Lol?? I can.??

NUMBER 1: I HATE that fuck ass short skirt,, in game I can ignore it cause I'm too busy worrying about the characters more than the actual designs but holy shit in the promo art?? (May all the deities out there bless my eyes from this)

Warning for the promo art because..yeah...

The chronic blush kills me because my pookie bear doesn't even do that unless it's around taro

And holy shit these thigh highs are so ?? I wish I could bleach my eyes rn (nothing wrong with thigh highs honestly it's just how it's drawn here)

Now in my redesign the tie is short and there are some pieces missing from the shirt but honestly my main priority is covering her up.

On another note I literally get COLD from seeing her promo art cause hello.?? I feel like ayano would be a really cold person just in general so I gave her some under sleeves because why not besides they look cute!

Her skirt is long because 1. most schools need skirts alteast touching their knees from what ive seen in the almsot 2 decades I've been alive and 2. I felt like it

NUMBER 2: face

Her hair I kept relatively similar cause I feel like if I took it away I'd be taking ayano away but that's just me NOW her lips I feel like she would really wear lipstick to keep a 'natural' look I KNOW ryoba suggest to wear some but they're like a muted pink naturally so she just keeps it like that

Luckily for her! In my redesign bed resting face kinda looks like she's happy so she doesn't necessarily gotta do anything yk??

Number 3: her casual outfit....

The miniskirt, thigh highs and GLOVES is really killing me

The shirts find and honestly so is the miniskirt by ITSELF but I wanted to change it so I did. Her thigh highs are just..?? Unnecessary here I fear. Don't get me wrong I'm sure if it was a better outfit (and a better creator) she could've pulled it off but because of multiple things it just doesn't work. The clash of that green with the miniskirt jean isn't really complementing the black thigh highs

Also the gloves?? I get that like ayano buys yk rat poison and sedatives and blah blah blah but gloves... In the middle of the day/night... In THAT outfit.... It just doesn't work for me

Ryoba didn't wear gloves and she still got her man so I don't get why ayano has to.. if anything have y'all ever seen were germaphobes get a plastic bag and use it to pick up stuff? I feel like that could be used in a situation like this instead of just gloves out in the open,, honestly thats just highkey suspicious (coming from someone who wore various kinds of gloves when going out before)

For me redesign I just wanted something a bit more cuter I feel,, I think the green top couldve been good by itself but once again i get cold looking at her so boom sleeves but then i realized it looks a lil plain (which probably was the point but executed in the worst way possible) so I gave her one of those tops with another shirt connected to it in a lighter minty color. Besides I think it served a purpose to let her JORTS not clash terribly with the darker green,, and I actually like the idea that she wears tights so I gave her black tights (which yk is like the thigh highs but yk not)

Anyway that's my redesign of ayano my pookie bear who can do no wrong she's just a girl or doesn't matter if she's a murderer or not 💭❤️

[agentoffangirling]

And on the topic of redesigns, here's how I would redesign the D4 characters. If a character isn't mentioned here, it's because I like their outfits in the movie and wouldn't redesign it much:

Chloe: Brown hair, often styled in braid(s) so they're away from her face from sword fighting. Looks as though she came from the lap of luxury itself with high-end fabrics and materials. A deeper blue for the majority of her clothes, with lighter blues and whites as accents. More feminine, again going into that luxury angle with bits of gold jewelry and sparkly boots. Maybe a slight skirt train when she's not fighting, or a sparkly shirt with ruffles at the end, resembling a skirt

Red: Keeping the red hair, but more muted; I think brown roots would look really nice on her, as though she dyed her hair out of rebellion, which adds to her arc. Natural brown hair could also play into her being less of a VK. Also keeping the leathers, but a ton more black into her outfits to help with the bright red. White is also an accent color, but she has less of it compared to Chloe. More harsh angles and shapes to set them apart, tank top girly instead of the standard t-shirt

Bridget: Red hair, but muted like Red's. Definitely a lot more curls to her, though, and I think she'd also look really cute with a bow. Very extra and ultra-feminine, is obviously rich but doesn't necessarily flaunt it. While her fabrics are high end, she has minimal jewelry and prefers to stick to a more modest style of dressing. Lighter pink for the majority of the outfits to match her hair better but some hot pinks here or there to help her stand out. Puffed up sleeves, short skirts that are similarly puffy (and sparkly) with some type of bottom. Flats instead of boots, nails painted with card designs

Ella: Exact opposite of Bridget. Braids are done in a similar fashion to Chloe's, but a more utility-esque purpose. Denim for the majority of her clothes, keeping that "scrapped together" feel, and very very minimal makeup. Oversized clothing occasionally due to hand-me-downs from Anastasia and Drizzella. Nailbeds are cracked from working so much, and her boots are muddy, form and function over style. Her outfit from "Get Your Hands Dirty" is really what I'm going for

Maleficent: Out with the hair-wrapped horns. Out with them. They're also going to be shorter, not as grown in, and more standing up to resemble the ones from D1 and "Sleeping Beauty". Dark purple hair, darker than Mal's, kept up in a ponytail braid. Victorian clothing with lace, a lot more drapey, almost trailing on the ground. Long nails, purple with green decals. Her outfit is primarily black with dark purple and neon green accents, and her boots are leather with a sharp heel. Black lipstick and a smokey eye to finish

Morgie: I really don't like that scarf. I know it's supposed to resemble a snake, but it just looks tacky. Tighter clothing made of fine materials, a vest with an almost scale-like design to it. Leather pants with that similar scale style running down the sides. Drapey sleeves are alright, but I feel like he could also do without them. Painted nails for sure, though, he would rock a green. More gold decals and a mild green for his color palette Also I think the eye thing should be permanent

welcome to the literature club!!!

[photo id under read more bc it did not fit in alt. sob. sorry it's so long there's a lot going on here]

monika from doki doki literature club, a young woman in a school uniform consisting of a light skirt, a darker blazer, and dark tights, is half bent over and looking at the camera with her hands clutched behind her back. she is drawn in sketchy pen on lined paper. her hair is long and in a half up, half down fashion, such that a few strands fall in front of her body, and the rest flows behind her. she is smiling at the camera, and drawn within a frame with stars in the background, the frame itself lined with the phrase "welcome to the literature club" in all caps, at the bottom the phrase repeating over itself and turning into an unreadable mess. her feet fit out of the frame in black shoes. at the corners of the frames are hearts, the bottom left corner filled with the phrase "load me," the top left part of the frame having an extra horizontal line where "club" is repeated both inside the frame and outside it, and the left side designating the subject of the frame as "president monika" in all caps, overlapping with the text "welcome to the literature club." inside the frame, five colored post it notes change what is happening in the picture itself. the pink one covers monika's face (still smiling, now blushing), makes her blazer lighter, and changes the background from asterisks in horizontal lines to hearts in vertical lines. the orange one, in the top right corner, covers a text box that contains "monika's writing tip of the day!" with the phrase "i love you" repeated in caps, breaking out of the textbox's frame, ad infinitum until the post it note ends. the blue one covers part of monika's skirt and legs, showing the pen she is holding behind her back dripping black ink into a pool at the bottom, changing her skirt and hair to be darker, and putting her in light thigh high tights. the green post it note, near the bottom of the frame, only touches part of monika's leg. it depicts the pooling ink from her pen, mostly covered in scribbles, text only faintly readable: "save me." the final post it note, yellow, depicts monika's hand in a different position, grabbing and shaking the wall of her frame. there is no background in this post it, on either side of the frame. her sleeve is black.

IM SO SORRY I DIDNT REALIZE HOW LONG IT WOULD BE I HOPE ITS ALRIGHT

[hevanderson]

hi. take some glestern style descriptions. also i must preface by saying this is NOT historically accurate nor is it meant to be. this is based off of vibes alone. thumbs up

quinn: early on, she wears very modest outfits. high collars and skirts that go to the ankles. flat shoes. long sleeves and/or impractical lacy gloves. light colors, particularly blue and white. long hair, either all down or partially up and partially down. cross necklace is always on. classy, expensive looking jewelry, particularly bracelets. later, she wears pants that are clearly second-hand and in relatively poor condition, stolen. big, button up work shirts that are also not in the best shape. the buttons are never fully buttoned. her hair is now short, think her season 3 hair or s2 new york hair. no more cross necklace, and minimal jewelry, if any at all. more durable shoes meant for working. a belt with a holster to carry a gun. carries more practical gloves in the pocket of her pants. darker color schemes with a lot of neutrals. most of her clothes have some visible stress on them

santana: darker colors. a decent mix of tight and loose clothing– usually, her tops are tighter and her bottoms are looser. big fan of shorts and shorter skirts. moveability is a priority for her. likes necklaces, but doesnt own many. the ones she own are from her family and tend to somewhat clash with her outfits but she wears them anyway because she loves her family. ties her hair up when working, high ponytail, no bangs. when shes working with sue's gang, she layers up as best as she can and goes for all loose clothing so its easier to move and sneak around. her hair is tied into a low ponytail to keep it out of her face. at work and in everyday, she wears boots with a mild heel, but when shes on duty for sue she wears discreet flat shoes to avoid making sounds. for the same reason, she also doesnt wear jewelry while working with sue's gang

puck: dark colors. darker blue jeans that have been worn quite a bit. rips in the jeans. black cowboy boots are always on, and are rather simple with no designs in them. shaved head. off duty, he occasionally wears a cowboy hat. he wears button ups that are, of course, never fully (or at all) buttoned. the sleeves to these shirts are often rolled up to his forearms. tattoos on his arm, hand-done of course, random doodles he thinks make him look badass. always has a gun in his belt holster, conveniently placed right in front of his crotch. gross

tina: dark colors strike again, but her outfits have accents of blue. gloves, dyed black leather with the occasional lace. high collared shirts paired with intricate silver necklaces, usually adorned with blue gems. long, ruffled skirts. her outfits between working and day to day dont change much, although she sometimes will wear subtley striped black pants when working. always in heeled boots with looping stitched details in blue thread. her hair is plain back and usually down, but, occasionally when shes working at the saloon, she'll pull it into a low ponytail or braids. wears a black leather crossbody satchel. no guns on her but just in case she does carry around a small knife with a sheath

brittany: finally a break from dark colors. brittany primarily wears whites and lighter colors, particularly blues, pinks, and oranges. a wide collection of white shirts she's customized, either intentionally or unintentionally– grass stains, paint splatters, patterns stitched into her shirts. she keeps it loose. overalls enjoyer, usually wears a blue pair that have doodles and practice stitches all over them. she generally prefers pants and shorts, and usually wears light blue denim. if she does wear a skirt, it is flowy but not long, and must have some form of pattern on it (she likes florals the most). her hair is equally spent down as it is spent up; either, it is everywhere and flowing freely (usually when shes just out and about), but when working on her farm or performing she ties it up into a high ponytail, but leaves her bangs out (think her early s2 bangs). when shes working for sue, she borrows clothes from santana. she also ties her hair into a ponytail and pins it into a large, rather impractical, hat she wears. her gang clothes are dark, both to obscure her identity and to give her more security under darkness

mercedes: glamorous and colorful. the largest parts of her outfits are usually black or dark brown, but anything else is bursting with color. when performing, she wears darker high-low skirts with ruffles in purples, pinks, and reds depending on the costume. more corset-like tops that have ruffles lining the top and spilling over onto the off-the-shoulder sleeves. feathery headbands. gloves that stop at her wrists and are complimented by bejeweled bracelets. tights with some subtle patterns in them in a darker version of what her outfit's accent color is. tall boots that are just a little impractical to walk in. when shes off duty, she still wears skirts, and they range from stopping at her mid-thigh to coming down to her ankles. flat shoes that are comfortable to walk in. she wears the same bracelets, but loses her gloves and headband. her shirts have a similar construction to her performance ones, corest-y and off the shoulder, but when shes just lounging around or creating costumes she wears more relaxed tops– button ups and things like that. no matter what, though, she likes to have a lot of color. her hair, both on and off duty, is most similar to her s1 pilot hairstyle. no weapons, she tries to be a pacifist when she can

sam: light colors, but a bit less soft than brittany's color schemes. cool colors, blues and greens with some greys. his hair is similar to late s2. king of plaid button ups, and he wears them buttoned to the very top bc he takes his job as sheriff seriously. occasionally wears a grey cowboy hat that has his name stitched into the inside of it (courtesy of mercedes). his shirt is always tucked into his blue jeans, which have very faint grass stains and places that look like theyre on the verge of tearing. brown cowboy boots always. if he wants to class his outfit up, and he does abkut 50% of the time, he'll pair his shirt with a brown leather vest and, of course, a bolo tie. he also wears a belt with a medium sized round belt buckle. he has a holster on his belt but rarely has a gun in it because he honestly hates resorting to violence despite his job

DCA Info Part 65: Dorm Leader 3rd Edition Redesigns (Part 1)

View Part 2

Much like their Dorm Fairy companions, the girls also got redesigned! The reason being is that Phoenix felt she was making them look to simple.

STYLISTA

Guess who got the Bootique Clawdeen.

Let's have a wholly unprofessional and unsponsored review post!

Boring stuff out of the way first; she was on Amazon for $44.99 USD. She's currently on a 7% off sale so you can get the set for $41.85 USD.

The back of the box shows off some styling ideas as well as a little blurb in multiple languages.

The sides have more styling options.

The top of the box has a nifty little inventory of all the things contained within.

I didn't take any pictures of the inside but the doll, furniture and accessories were packaged very simply; the accessories were inside white paper bags, the furniture was strapped in to fit and Clawdeen had her own compartment on the left side. Not a display packaging obviously, since the box itself has no clear portions. On that note, I think the QC for facial screenings has gotten better, since Skulltimate Secrets and now this were packaged with no way to see the doll until you open the packaging. all the Skulltimate secrets dolls and this Clawdeen have perfect faces.

This is how Clawdeen was packaged: wearing her purple jumpsuit, green belt, green earrings and the pink translucent booties.

The doll herself does in fact have the torso joint. The lighting in my room is a little yellow, so you can't see it clearly, but her lid and undereye are lavender, with a magenta crease. Her lips are a much more saturated fuchsia red in real life. her hair is a berry color, with the light lavender color she typically gets. On the subject of her hair...

...I am not an expert, i am just a doll-collecting homosexual, but it does NOT feel like the same kind of hair texture every other Clawdeen has. I can't be sure if its nylon or saran or whatever, but it feels denser and waxier than the polypropolene. It wasn't as tangled before or after a wash, and the ends weren't as frayed.

You can see how it washed. This does NOT look the same as my other Clawdeens I washed, so take that as you will. I still need to reset the curl pattern, of course.

On to the clothing. The jumpsuit is actually a pretty heavy and dense denim, in this purple leopard print with lavender and blue spots, and magenta and black slash marks. It has short, cuffed sleeves and a pointed shirt collar, and cuffs on the hem of the pant legs. the waist has lime stitching and faux pockets.

All of Clawdeens belts have 3 different closure holes, so they can be worn tighter or looser at your discretion. This lime green belt has a skullette buckle and a very long trailing tail.

The booties are a light fuchsia with spikes on the top, and the heels are crescent moons. I know a lot of new MH shoes have interesting detailing on the soles, but these don't, probably because they're clear.

I'm gonna do the outfit pieces in groups. The sweater is yellow, with blue, white and purple circle detailing. The chest has an aqua triangle, the same color as the slash marks. The collar, cuffs and hem are the same blue as the circles on the sweater.

The tank top looked black at first, but it actually has a very subtle bleach dye effect that looks like mist in the dark, it's pretty nice irl. The shirt also has a tri-moon vinyl on it, with a howling wolf on the center full moon.

The green skirt is a lighter weight denim than the jump suit, with darker green spots and a frayed hem under a stitch. The cupcake skirt is in a metallic fabric with a slight blue shift; its really pretty in person. The waist is black elastic and the skirt is covered with criss-crossing claw marks.

The dress is a one-shoulder thigh length ruched number. Because of the design, it doesn't look like much on a hanger but it sings on the doll. The dress is blue with purple and pink leopard spots.

The scarf is hot pink with gold metallic flecks. The stole is a softer pink.

If you're insane like me and already have Skulltimate Secrets Clawdeen, this bucket hat should look familiar. It's the same mold in a periwinkle blue, sans the leopard spots. The canvas and stitch molding is REALLY nice.

I thought the boots had layers of fur, but theyre actually molded to look like slouchy fabric boots, with a repeating skullette pattern. The heels are lined in spikes, and theres a tie molded at the top.

The lime sneakers are the exact same mold as Ghoul Spirit Clawdeen, but in a solid green.

The set also comes with 5 hangers for extra outfits. They're kind of swirly and dainty looking, more like g1 Catrine. They come in pink, lavender, purple, blue and green.

Our girl comes with a lot of accessories! The lime green necklace, again, is the same mold as one that comes with Skulltimate Sectrets Clawdeen. Its a short chain with three dangling crescent moons, with a longer rope chain under that. The magenta necklace and choker are recast from her g3 signature; a circular moon pendant on a crescent moon chain, paired with a star choker.

The gold fur bangle is reused from her Ghoul Spirit doll. The magenta spiked cuff and purple cuff are new though. The magenta one is a simple spiked band while the purple has teeth detailing all around it, I did a terrible job photographing these so if anyone wants any clearer pics just let me know lmao.

The glasses are her signature glasses, in black. The magenta comb is a tiger-striped crescent moon with a studded handle.

The long gold piece is a hair barrette that says MONSTER. The long purple piece is a three-finger ring with the triple moon motif on it.

The black earring is a double crescent moon. IIRC this appeared first on Ghoul Spirit from this gen. The blue hoop with the dangling moon is also from Ghoul Spirit.

I didn't take close up picks of hem, but the green earings are a spiked hoop and a triple moon, recast from her signature earrings.

The gold belt has a double crescent moon buckle, mimicking the Gucci logo:

Finally, her bag is a large tote or shopping bag, covered in the same skullette molding as her boots. The green "HOWL" is flanked by pink bands with small crescent moons, and the moon shaped handles have tooth details.

The furniture she comes with are really cute and would look ADORABLE with her bedroom playset. The coffin-shaped clothing rack is studded, with the triple moon detail at the top. At the bottom are purple trays, and the lavender wheels do function.

The moon vanity has a circular mirror with two small shelves, a moon phases detail on the faux-drawer, and a moon shaped foot.

The pink stool has a starburst on the foot and the seat is molded to look like its padded or has draped pleats.

Final looks and thoughts in the next post!

summer essentials?

AHA 30% + BHA 2% peeling solution!

This product is versatile and can be used for a variety of skin-related issues, like hyperpigmentation, acne, scars, and uneven skin tone. However, in the summers I personally use it for my daily underarm botox fix. By applying the serum on my underarms and leaving it there for around 15 minutes before washing it off, I'm able to eliminate unpleasant smells and excessive sweating for the rest of the day. I live in an area with high temperatures during the summer, and white clothes is a common choice for me and I want to avoid any unpleasantness, that's why this product is a must-have for me.

A summer workout routine!

Exercising and working out is one of my favorite things to do, as it energizes me and gives me the results that I want. The first thing I do in the morning is get moving, and there's nothing quite like a good workout to start my day off right. During the summer months, I prefer focusing on building my glutes, toning my abs, and working on my overall physique, and I love some of Pamela Reif's videos. To achieve my fitness goals, I have curated a list of my favorite exercises and enjoy following videos along with my gym routine. Maintaining consistency in my workout routine is something I prioritize, I always focus on consistency and not results, which has helped me achieve all of my fitness goals.

A pair of hot girl sunglasses!

I recently purchased a handmade pair of sunglasses from Karl Wagner, and they are oval acetate and smaller than what I usually go for but quite nice. As someone who has had laser eye surgery and hates making eye contact with strangers, eye protection is especially important to me year-round, but particularly during the summer when the sun's harmful UV rays are stronger. And because the skin around my eyes is very thin, excessive squinting can lead to wrinkles, so I take extra care to shield my eyes from the sun's rays by applying a generous amount of sunscreen and sunglasses.

White tennis skirts!

Summertime calls for a wardrobe shift for me and I make it a point to switch out my darker skirts for lighter options in shades like baby pink and white. I find that these colors perfectly capture the essence of summertime and make me feel light and breezy. One of my favorite things about wearing white tennis skirts is that they go with just about any top, so I have endless outfit options to mix and match. To complete the look, I typically opt for white sneakers or sandals, both of which add a touch of freshness to the overall aesthetic. Whether I'm running errands, meeting up with friends, or simply lounging in the sun, these skirts provide the perfect blend of comfort, style, and versatility.

A deeper shade of foundation!

Nowadays, whenever I desire a sun-kissed complexion, I prefer making slight makeup modifications, I adjust my foundations between seasons instead of exposing myself to the sun's harmful UV rays. I have very light olive skin so a slightly darker foundation makes me look a lot healthier and gives me the look I love, I draw on faux freckles with a light brow eyebrow pencil and I'm generous with my blush. I recall the one instance in my life when I tried to get a tan on a deck in the height of summer. I ended up getting burned and turned into a ghastly tomato-red shade. The sight of my terrified me, and I applied ice packs and slathered aloe vera gel on my face every hour. That experience made me promise myself to never repeat that mistake again.

White dresses!

I have a serious addiction to white dresses, they're an essential part of my summer wardrobe. Every piece of item in my wardrobe tends to get boring after a while but not with my white dresses. They come in all sorts of styles, but nothing makes me feel more beautiful than a flowy white dress during the summer months. I love pairing it with a flowy chiffon hijab, cute earrings, and an ethereal makeup look. My absolute fave are empire waist dresses- they work wonders in emphasizing my waistline and elongating my legs. Plus, they give off a super chic and elegant vibe. The only downside is that these dresses are usually made of natural materials, so they tend to wrinkle easily throughout the day which drives me crazy but I'm trying my best to make peace with that.

Ranking and Reviewing Every Pregnant Steffi Love Doll (1992-2024) 🤰🏼

(Now that I've got your attention, before reading this, PLEASE donate to or boost Ahmed's GoFundMe to help get him and his family out of Gaza 🙏🙏🙏: https://www.tumblr.com/toychest321/748238434888466432?source=share)

1992 - Newborn Baby/Twins

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find much information on these dolls' origins, aside from a few secondhand listings online. As far as I can tell, the body mold (and subsequently the very first pregnant Steffi Love) was created in 1992, and the rest above followed shortly after.

Overall, I give these six 7.5/10. At first glance the outfits are relatively simple, but I think they carry that late 80s/early 90s charm. As for each individually:

NBB: Navy Suit w/ Hat: 8.5/10 A standout look compared to the dresses most common for pregnant Steffi Love dolls. Points for being unique

NBT: Blue Floral Dress: 8/10 The flowers remind me of watercolors, and the pastel pink flower ties the colors all together.

NBT: Pastel Floral Dress w/ Pants: 7.75/10 Kinda reminds me of pajamas

NBT: Blue Polka Dot Dress: 7.5/10 A decent look in theory, but the silver pants make it look cheap. White ones would have paired better with the dress

NBB: Multicolored Floral Dress: 7/10 Too much going on compared to the blue florals, though fun fact this one is mistaken for Pregnant Midge in a lot of those "TOP 10 DISCONTINUED BARBIES" articles

NBB: Pink Floral Dress: 6/10 The cheapest-looking out of the six, I think I've seen that exact fabric used on a Barbie Fashionista skirt

2006 - Welcome Baby

It seems a new body mold was made for these that would be re-used in future releases, though in 2019 the arms would be switched out. The variants available, unlike, the 1992 releases, were Caucasian and Black (coming with either straight hair or an afro). The initial release came with the darker pants, face mold, and middle part seen on the left, but later releases would use the face mold and side part seen today with lighter pants.

Overall, a 10/10. I honestly love the y2k vibes coming from this look, and like the vintage Navy Suit doll it's a welcome departure from her usual maternity clothes. I think the left's darker pants work with the outfit a bit better, but I prefer the right's face mold.

There's also this variant with a pink polka dot dress (although I'm not sure when she was released) that I would honestly consider a completely different doll if it weren't for the title.

Unlike the previous, she's a 6/10. Her look is nothing special, and especially disappointing compared to the other variants of this line. I like that they used a different hairstyle, but she's just so... plain.

2011 - Happy Family

Little information exists regarding this playset, especially considering a modern remake uses the same name. This does seem to be the first pregnant Steffi release to include both her boyfriend "Kevin" (🙄) and her little sister Evi Love.

Overall, 7/10. It's a fairly decent look that I have no particularly strong feelings towards.

2015 - Happy Family

Seems to be a reproduction of the original 2011 playset with updated looks. Steffi and Kevin are using different face molds, but it includes the same accessories as the previous and next Happy Family playsets.

Overall though, 7.5/10! I like the pink pattern on Steffi with the solid color miniskirt, and it's so cute that Evi has a matching outfit!

2019 - Welcome Surprise

I think this is the first instance of Simba using their most recent arm mold for their pregnant dolls. I can't remember how big Gender Reveals were during 2018-2019, but apparently they were big enough for Steffi to want a piece of that pie, confetti cannon and all.

Overall rank when putting aside the gimmick, 6/10. While I admire the coherence in theming with using light blues and pinks with a confetti motif in the skirt, the top makes the outfit look somewhat juvenile.

??? - Sweet Expectations

This one might have the LEAST info available on it. I'm guessing by the arms that this was likely released as a budget alternative when that arm mold was first being used, so it was probably released from some point around 2019 onward. Not sure why the box says "Baby Arrival" when the name of the doll is completely different tbh

Overall, 5/10. Just a worse version of the polka-dot Welcome Baby variant. The dress looks like it’s made from wrapping paper.

2021 - Happy Family

The most recent Happy Family playset, and yet again Kevin's got another facelift. He's becoming yassified.

Overall, 6/10. Ngl just a more boring execution of the original version.

2021 - Welcome Twins

And here we enter the Pregnant Steffi Love renaissance! I'm not entirely sure why we get so many releases in 2021-2022, but my guess is Welcome Surprise sold better than they were expecting in 2020 so they probably started making all of these shortly after.

Overall, 6.5/10. I'm not really feeling the colors or pattern, and we'll see a better rendition of this outfit with the Newborn Baby set in 2022.

2021 - Royal Baby

This playset actually has a brunette & brown-eyed variant that marks one of the only other times the hispanic(?) Steffi from the XOXO Friends line appears (ngl I should make a post about that line sometime as well).

Anyway, overall I give her an 8/10! While I would have personally given her puffed sleeves, I admire the overall aesthetic! Between this and the upcoming Mermaid Family, I also like how they're the only company making pregnant fantasy dolls.

2021 - Mermaid Family

Here it is! If you've heard of any pregnant Steffi Love dolls, it's probably this one. Here we see Kevin's third facelift, and his most yassified mug yet. So many jokes I could make about his face I can't even list them all here.

Overall, 9/10. The concept alone sells this through sheer absurdity. I love that Steffi has a tattoo on her baby bump, and that this apparently confirms mermaids are a species of mammal. Even if I'm not entirely certain I'd buy this (just because of the space it'd take up), I respect the hell out of it.

2022 - Baby Surprise

Fun fact, this one is currently the only pregnant Steffi Love I've been able to find in my area. As seen above, she comes in three variants: white & lavender dress with side pony, red & pink dress with side part, and rainbow dress with high pony. She comes with 9-18 accessories (toys, pacifier, etc.), and the surprise element is that she could be having a boy (9 blue accessories), a girl (9 pink accessories), two boys, two girls, or a boy and a girl (9 of each color).

Overall, 5.5/10. The stock photos don’t get across how metallic the material for these dresses look in-person. And the ruffles at the sleeves remind me way too much of the Barbie Fashionistas for my liking.

2022 - Newborn Baby

This one has a similar outfit to the Welcome Twins playset, and is the only pregnant Steffi love to have articulation. She comes with a baby carrier, and when you press her necklace it makes the sound of a baby crying.

Overall, 7/10. I like the colors and pattern much more here than the Welcome Twins set. Even though it isn't spectacular, the accessories are cute and its central concept is well-executed.

2022 - Newborn Baby Room

And here we have the most recent pregnant doll released. My guess is the 2021-2022 batch didn't sell as well as they had hoped, so they've slowed down since then. But I doubt that'll keep them from making use of the body mold more in the future.

Overall, 7/10. At first glance the materials used for this dress looked very cheap, but it sorta grew on me the more I looked at it? It reminds me of a cupcake. However, I’d never have the room for the playset, and the doll itself is still relatively plain.

Even if a lot of these dolls were just decent, I still gotta give props to Steffi. There's only ever been one pregnant doll released under the Barbie umbrella, and that was for a side character ONCE. Steffi meanwhile may as well have being pregnant as a personality trait! Hopefully Simba makes more dolls like this soon, because I'd love to see what concept they might come up with next!

Downton Abbey Fashion 41 - indoors fashion in 1922

Rose’s initial stringent color palette of either red outfits or blue ones is loosened up once she becomes a regular; she gets to wear pink shades and, as a quasi-adopted Crawley, purple. Side note, I’m not including the scene when she dons a maid dress because that’s just Anna’s uniform that she borrowed for five minutes and I already have a post about the servant uniforms in use this season.

A very girlish drop waist dress, this one has a print that almost makes it look like dotted with strawberries. Or like one giant strawberry. Never mind, it’s cute. A spread collar of white lace, short sleeves – Rose looks so young in this. Granted, she is the age Sybil was at the beginning of the first season, but Sybil was never the bubbly airhead that Rose starts out as.

Speaking of youthful vibes, Rose has this adorable cream sweater with a sailor collar and some blue piping, plus a band of blue checker around the drop waist. And I have an inexplicable weakness for this lacing closure on the front. By the way, this sweater is recycled from 1997’s Rebecca, and Rose will have another piece from the same movie next season.

Hm, I’ve seen shirts of this cut on the show that I liked better. But I guess that’s a matter of taste; this pattern isn’t really for me and neither is this shade of purple, despite looking good on Rose. I’m in favor of the neckline, so there’s that. Since she is wearing this at the very beginning of the season when Mary is still in black (and Edith in grey), this might be less of a fashion choice and more half-mourning decorum, although Rose also wears purple for fashionable purposes.

Like she does here. Rose’s former colors were red and blue, her new color is purple – let’s just throw them all together! Okay, in all fairness, this print is adorable. And with the top being cut in triangles instead of the more common rectangles of the time, the dress does have a little shaping to it. Somehow, they picked the exact right shade for the little piping trim, blue enough to blend in, yet electric enough to pop.

Technically, she wears this dress while going out for a dance, but she’s not running around on the air without a coat, so I’ll call it an indoors look. Lighting is not the priority at the dance, but believe me that it’s purple with a white print all over. And more white with a little lace trim for the under layer and collar; the overall composition is not glamorous, but quite nice, another playful and girly look to which she adds a cloche hat with a white flower ornament.

Back on blue, a simple long skirt and a long-sleeved shirt that looks like a silk satin. Rose likes this collar shape, doesn’t she? The geometric print keeps this from looking too boring, but I wish Rose would have gone with a contrasting skirt.

This shirt is nice; can I see more of it? It’s another cream one with blue square elements, a darker and a lighter blue shade that do something almost like an adventurous meander on one side, but otherwise are demoted to trim duty. Nice one, a bit baggy, but nice.

And now for one of the prettiest shades of pink I will get my eyes on around here and that Rose will repeat a few times next season: This dress is just on the meeting point between petal pink and peach, and it’s practically shining in and of itself. There could be no bigger compliment for Rose’s English Rose complexion, even though this is one of the few occasions when she’s not beaming. With the pearl strand and the white embroidery in orderly squares, this is one of her tamer looks, but the dress is of one of the drapier fabrics and looks like it could have some flow to it in motion.

redrew some art form a while ago (a year or so and holy cow!!)

my idea was to turn my dice into ttrpg classes so we have a bard, a cleric, a druid, and a rogue! (hopefully it’s clear which is which)

[Image ID: three separate digital illustrations, each with older versions of the drawings in a corner of the canvas and an image of a set of dice in the other corner. There are dates on all of them that say 09/07/23 on the first one and 11/07/23 on the other two.

The first drawing is of two anthropomorphic rabbits standing side by side. the one on the right is mostly pink except her face, the tips of her ears, and all of her paws, which are white. One of her handpaws is holding her hat, which is a simple wide-brimmed brown hat, the other is on the rabbit on the left’s shoulder. She is wearing a green pointed jester’s collar with bells at the tips over a sleeveless dark green top. She has puffy brown pants that have a brown patch on one knee and a brown belt. She is wearing minimal armor, her only protection being on her lower legs and forearms. She has a lute and a sword slung over her shoulders. She is winking at the other rabbit and her eyes are green. The other rabbit is mostly light blue with a darker blue around her eyes, on her chin, at the tips of her ears, and all her paws. She is more sleek than the other, who is fluffy. She is has a priest’s collar on a dark blue puffy-sleeved shirt which exposes her hips. She has a white skirt tied around her waist, but it is open in the front. The open space is covered by a long strip of gray fabric with a yellow lightning bolt at the top. There are two pointed dark blue strips of fabric around her skirt. In one of her hands she is holding a book with a lightning bolt on the cover, supposedly some sort of religious text. She is looking at the pink rabbit with her black eyes. Neither are wearing shoes. In the top left corner are two pictures of two different dice sets: one is white with pink swirls and green numbers, the other is white with blue swirls and black numbers. In the top right corner is a picture of the older design, which shows two rabbits with similar markings: white base with pink and blue spots, respectively. The pink one is wearing a small green tophat and the blue one has a belt with a potion on it. They are not shaded or clothed. The background of the full canvas is yellow.

The second drawing is of an anthropomorphic cow. They are crouched facing towards the left and leaning on a gnarled wooden cane. They are white with dark red spots and lighter red around their nose, hooves, tail, and the tips of their ears. They are wearing a red cape with a bright red bow holding it together over a white button up under a brown vest. They have light reddish-brown shorts on, the edges of which are a darker shade of reddish-brown, as well as small leaf designs on the edges of the shorts. They have a satchel on one hip and a band around their other leg with several small satchels and vials. Their hoof which is not on their cane is resting on the pommel of a sheathed longsword. They have a nose-ring that is attached to a thin gold band around their horn. They have several other bands on their horns, which are connected to various vials. They have a wooden bow across their back. In the top right corner there is a picture of a red set of dice with white numbers. In the top right is a picture of the older design, in which the cow stands with similar spots to the new design, but much too saturated. The cane is a staff and they have a red scarf around their neck. They are not shaded or otherwise clothed. The background of the full canvas is green.

The third drawing is of an anthropomorphic cat. She is landing from a jump, one handpaw on the ‘ground’ and the others still in the air. In the handpaw that isn’t touching the ‘ground’ she is holding a dagger. her face is mostly covered with a black mask and a hood. She has a black cloak that covers part of her back, under which she is wearing a sleeveless dark gray top with a bandolier of daggers, and a pair of black shorts with another belt of daggers and a longsword. Around each of her wrists there are gray cuffs. She is gray with both lighter and darker gray stripes. She has a lot of scars, all of which are green. In the top left corner there is a picture of a set of gray dice with swirls of lighter and darker gray in them. The numbers are green. In the bottom right corner is a picture of the older design. The cat in this has swirling lighter and darker gray patterns and is standing with a pure black cloak on, a dagger in one hand and a bag in the other. She is still heavily scarred. The background of the full canvas is purple. End ID]

YAYYYY

ID: a digital, lined and coloured drawing of a bug inspired knight. She has muted lavender skin, buggy eyes, elf ears, large dragonfly wings and beetle-inspired armour. The wings are a gradient of blue, indigo, yellow and pink and she has a large set on her back and a smaller set on her shoulders. The armour (which is around her waist like an over the knee skirt and on her back like the elytra of a beetle) it also has a gradient, going from a lighter blue to a darker one, as well as being covered in pale blue specks and various constellations. She is wearing a breastplate reminiscent of porcelain corsets that is a light blue with dark indigo designs and gold decorations. Her under armour which goes from the top of her breast to the top of her collarbone is a medium indigo with lighter indigo lines in a pattern across it. Her collar/necklace is a very dark blue with speckles and glowing dots that make it look like the night sky. Her hair is an ombré that goes from a light muted blue to a medium muted indigo. She is also wearing a gold crown that looks like the head of a rhinoceros beetle and royal blue shoes that have gold and ruby decorations. Her sleeves and pants go from a muted yellow to a muted purple-indigo. Her crown, collar, and breastplate all have the occasional decorative emerald. /end ID

Final versions for Minnie and Mickey! Now I just have to make a new design for Vinnie

[ID: Two digital drawings showing original designs for Minnie and Mickey Mouse, both drawn on the same base lineart of a short anthromorphic mouse. Both have black fur, and brown faces, tails, and the insides of their ears, with slightly different shades for Mickey and Minnie. Both of their outfits are monochrome, with a lighter shade and darker. Minnie is listed as "Minnie Mallaire-Mouse", with "nova/novas" pronouns. Mickey is listed as "Mickey Mouse-Mallaire", with xal/xalv pronouns. Minnie's outfit consists of magenta and dark magenta, with a magenta, skirt, bandana, and cat-eye glasses held on with a band, with dark magenta saggy arm warmers, and a large sash that buttons to the skirt. On the sash are three buttons: a circular pronoun pin, a triangle with the progress trans flag, and a diamond with the public domain flag and symbol. The progress trans flag has stripes of purple, black, blue, pink, white, yellow, black, and brown, with rings of black, purple, and gold in the center. The public domain flag has a yellow circle at the top, a blue stripe, a thin white stripe, and a green stripe. The pronoun pin is purple on the top and gold on the bottom, with the text in opposite colors. Mickey's outfit is sky blue and darker blue, with shoes, gloves, suspenders, and glasses band in sky blue, and shorts, bandana, and glove cuffs in the darker blue. Xal has the same assortment of pins, but with different pronouns. End ID.]

She is against a lacy heart background with light pink stars. End ID. ]

AY I AM DONE and finally get to post these!! Thank you again for letting me draw your ocs :) please check out their work they r so talented!!

[babs-babbles]

the kda girls look absolutely impeccable!! how did you decide the way you drew each girl/their outfits? your art is so unique with them, you really bring them to life (if that makes sense)

Thank you! Half of it is me taking inspo from other kda artists, and as I got to know them as characters I started drawing them the way I saw them. A lot of their looks and outfits are based off of their personalities and notes I took from official artworks

Ahri - she's a leader, soft but knows when to take charge and guide her group. I went for a lighter blonde with her hair and less vibrant pink (to show time has passed since the 'MORE' era) and her whiskers are a more pink tone in the kdaverse than her runterra red. Kept her eyes gold at all times and her pupils are slits, but are often dilated. Fashion wise I noticed she might not like getting overheated/shows a lot of skin, so it's easy to pick fits for her. Pinks, nudes, denim, satin, fitted with a hint of sparkle and a touch of classy, but comfortable all around

Evelynn - second in command, dark and mysterious. She's expressive and creative (in her own way) with a "look at me" aura. I immediately locked into @linaisbluepancake version of Evelynn and never looked back. I hc Eve as black/afro Latina. Her freckles were from a quick zoom in on her MORE splash art, I just doubled how many she had. With hair I went more into a lavender tone thank pink, and I actually like the idea of her having a short curly pixie cut, but she changes it in public. Physical build I went for pear shaped(more hips n booty) instead of hourglass and gave my gal a tummy. Fashion is dark colors, leather, and latex. Lingerie is often worn as clothes (ex. bra=shirt) she prefers skirts and leggings to actual pants (anything that hugs her hips) and big jackets/blazers

Kai'sa - idk why, but I always saw Kai'sa with tan skin, and her accent just really sealed the deal she'd be from South Africa. I think she's really just that one ambiguously mixed kid in school, it suits her to me. Made her taller than in lore (she reaches nearly 6 ft instead of 5'6) and musclesss. Also gave her a more slanted nose, and for me her prime asset is them big ol peepers. Makes the deer nickname have a more obvious origin. Fashion taste is simple, easy to move around in fabrics and crop tops. She's like a more sporty vers. of Eve. Darker colors, turtlenecks, workout clothes, hardly ever anything too tight and those shoulders must be seen

Finally Akali - I heavily prefer Akali's tanned skin in both runterra lore and her pop/stars era. I think she dyes her hair often, and shaves her sides/has an undercut here n there. She's got scars mostly on her upper body and arms, and if you squint there's freckles there. Deep red brown eyes and small triangular eyebrows. Fashion style is more tomboyish. Having a taste for street wear(bay area style), tech wear, easy to throw on clothes. Likes oversized anything, and has an eye for color blocking in her looks. Often seen in orange, reds, off whites, black and blues and loves accessories

Sorry if that's a lot! I just love doing deep dives into more than just drawing them, there's so much that comes with drawing the girls that I see day to day
