#rainbow high design

[nionom-art]

Decided to switch gears for a bit and design a rainbow high doll. I just got Victoria and got really inspired to try designing my own doll.

I noticed that there are not a lot of yellow dolls or dolls with natural Afro hair styles so I wanted to design around those two things. I settled on Honey Yellow as the color. Eventually I started looking into Nigerian fashion trends from 2022, and learned a bit about how Ankara is used and more about fashion in general. I’m trying to figure out an Ankara print that would work well for this doll.

But yeah, I would be curious to know what your guys input on this design is (especially if you know a bit about Nigerian or black American fashion). I’m still learning so some things about this beta design are probably not accurate yet, haha.

lyra + 20. champion ranked trainer

♡ Raised by her single mother, aunt and older cousin Kris in the small New Bark home. Her father died when she was 6 in a mining incident involving Team Rocket. Bubbles, her ace Azumarill, was gifted to Lyra by her father on her 5th birthday - being her final gift from him.

♡ Extremely outgoing, sweetly optimistic and immensely empathic. Absolutley loves making friends and talking to every kind of person. However, is extremely competitive & stubbon and gets frustrated easily - resulting in her giving up quickly but is also extremely quick to be re-motivated. Often feels the emotions of others intensely. Very country girl with an extremely strong Johtoian accent and lisp. Loves 'girly' things like makeup + fashion, period dramas and collecting nick-nacks but also loves spending her days outdoors, espcially in the National Park with Ethan watching the bug-catching contests or the Safari Zone.

♡ Struggled with her battle confidence as a young trainer which resulted in her having to re-battle Falkner and Bugsy several times. Over her journey grew an appreciation for pokemon perceived to be 'weak' & cute and built her team around showing the powers of these types of pokemon. Despite being a Champion Ranked trainer, Lyra opted to work with Ethans grandparents at the daycare center where she specialises in pokemon breeding and training weaker pokemon + their trainers.

silver + 23. champion ranked trainer

♡ Only child of Rocket Boss, Giovanni. Was born and raised on Island 5 of the Sevii Islands by multiple admins, most commonly Archer before running away to Johto. Has a deep rooted and consistent fear that he’ll never amount to anything but “Giovanni's kid”. Was extremely tight lipped about his upbringing to the trio, especially after learning of his loose connection to Lyras father’s passing. Finally told them the truth of his family after the defeat and final disbandment of Team Rocket.

♡ Originally extremely standoffish, condescending and at times, aggressive. As an adult is still quite serious and independent, but genuinely enjoys the time he spends with his friends and is surprisingly protective of them - especially Lyra and Kris. As time passed, his anger towards his father evolved more into guilt, however, over the years has become more patient, gentle and forgiving with not only others but himself. He still can come off quite intimidating to strangers, but these changes are noticeably visible to those close to him. While usually a quiet person, has a very dry and witty sense of humour that takes most people by surprise.

♡ Mentored by Lance, and later Blue, and spends a large amount of time training in the Dragons Den. While unsure of what direction he wants his life to go into, Lance is adamant he would make a fantastic gym leader or elite four member. Always accompanies Lyra to the yearly Champion Balls and Alola trips. Currently lives in a small beachside bungalow with Lyra in Cherrygrove where he enjoys spending his free time reading and teaching himself guitar.

ethan + 21

♡ The childhood friend of Lyra, Ethan was raised by his father and grandparents in New Bark. Extremely courteous, friend & family oriented and easy to talk to. A natural comic and can make even the straightest face people crack a slight smile - Red being his proudest achievement. Lax and slightly ditsy but can adapt to any situation and group of people like a flick of a switch. Not the best at articulating himself but always puts 110% into making sure people feel comfortable through his actions.

♡ Completed the 8 Johto gyms but never challenged the Elite Four & Lance in favour for persuing his true passions. Currently works at the Goldenrod Radio Tower where he co-hosts a program consisting of interviewing gym leaders, elite four, champions and other prolific battlers. At nights, does standup in the clubs in the Goldenrod Tunnel. Due to his easy-going nature and career, tends to knows everyone’s buisness + gossip and has crazy experiences with nearly any person imaginable.

♡ Currently lives in a small loft in Goldenrod. Spends his free time watching anime + cartoons or in the National Park either watching the Bug Contests, skating or talking to the old folks. Enjoys the nightlife of Goldenrod where he usually pulls Silver out to bar hop or spend hours playing Voltorb Flip.

kris + 25

♡ Oldest and mother figure of the group. Was born and grew up in New Bark town with her mother before her cousin Lyra + aunt moved in with them when she was 11. The two shared the large upstairs bedroom growing up where Kris introduced Lyra to contests and the annual Champion & Wallace cups.

♡ Mature, soft spoken and extremely intellegent - both academically and socially. Because of this, can offer solutions on any issue on both a practical and emotional level, no matter the person and situation. Has unique relationships with all three kids but in general sees them as her younger siblings and takes the role as the 'older sister' very seriously. Has a warm and comforting presence, making those even to the likes of Silver feel comfortable confinding in her.

♡ Quite reserved and struggled with her purpose and sexuality growing up, espcially in rural Johto. After the death of her uncle and seeing her daughter’s interests in the Wallace Cups and contests, her mother moved the two to the Hoenn region, settling in Lilycove City when Kris was 13. While starting her gym challenge in the new region, Kris fell in love with Hoenn's unique weather patterns and ecosystems. Eventually she quit the gym challenge to peruse a career as a meteorologist where she now works at the weather institute. When not working, she enjoys attending contests, museums and scuba diving. Finally feeling settled in life, she came out to her family + the trio when she was 20.

I redesigned Maria Garcia and Roxie Grand because they weren’t giving like the other holiday collector dolls.

Especially since Maria is day of the dead and she’s wearing a flamenco dress and has roses, not marigolds on her and I’m assuming Roxie is a Christmas themed doll. Because idk, she’s definitely not Halloween

[meiko333]

I'm still sad they never got a doll :(

[nexo-nex]

[ofcrystalsandart]

Updated references for some of my Rainbow High OCs!

Soooooooo I designed an entire mock line for Rainbow High. The idea is that this is my stab at a potential rainbow high series 6 (it will never happen due to the soft reboot, but, you know- for funzies).

You might recognize Melina (the honey yellow one- I recorded her design process on my blog previously).

I’m currently working on a Shadow High line- it will probably take forever tho.

Meet Laura Mipson (Shadow High OC)

Colour: Merlot

Focus: Creative Writing (w a minor in Legal Studies)

Grade: 4th Year

Motto: "Where's the edge in life if you don't romanticise it?"

Wanted to try my hand at designing an OC for my fav doll line <3 Inked traditionally, coloured digitally. Zoom in for details & more character info!

⚠️PLEASE DO NOT REPOST⚠️

Pinterest inspos for her fit:

(right belongs to @sftclm, left is some Versace loafers that slay so hard)

I HAVEN'T COLOURED DIGITALLY IN AGES IT FEELS SO DAMN GOOD. PAINT TOOL SAI IS MY BEST FRIEND, CRAWLING BACK TO IT RNRN

Does Shadow High, a fashion/high arts school, have law subjects? WELL it does in my AU!

I thought of her silly ass name months ago and couldn't get Drawfee's 'lorem ipsum dolor sit, lauren epsom solo shit' poem out of my head. I'm relieved Mipson is an actual rare surname in the US, I double checked lmao. A writer character with a name resembling the jibberish placeholder text just felt right to me. I HAD to design her or I'd die.

Referenced Lily Cheng's box art for her pose bc I can't anatomy. I think I got pretty close to the RH/SH style!

She has the Scarlet Rose syndrome of having long nails while being a writer lol. It doesn't make sense but I will push the long nails agenda on these girlies

OK real colour theory discussion? Idk if her skin colour is "fantasy" enough for Shadow High. If I make her greyer she looks washed out. If I make her more saturated she looks sunburnt. So she just ended up with a similar skintone to mine but redder lmao. I think it contrasts better with the dark hair and clothes

... Can you tell what my fav colour is

i know all of you are thinking: "AW HELL NAW YO ASS TWEAKIN CHRONO" and let me just say now: you're probably right.

the autism won again and i got back to working up a concept for rebooting and hopefully at least somewhat improving probably the worst toy ever

ALSO TO THOSE IN THE KNOW, DON'T WORRY: SLUDGE SQUAD/SEWERS AND SPARKLES ISN'T DEAD. I STILL NEED TO SHOW THE CHARACTERS AT SOME POINT. i just consider it distinct enough to consider it a separate project now.
