Digital Dolls

Dolling is where you take a base body either created by yourself or by someone else and draw hair, clothes and accessories on it. A doll usually has a hard pixel edge and a transparent background so that it may be placed on any colored background web site, most dolls are created by drawing clothes and hair over a base, a base or base body is something that doll makers create that looks sort of like a bald pixel body, featuring inoffensive Barbie doll type nudity. It is the framework for which we create our dolls by drawing clothes and hair onto it. A doll maker, or Dress Up Doll Game, is a site or graphic spreadsheet with premade dolling pieces that are put together to form a doll. A doll created on a drag and drop, or point and click doll maker such as those on the list below belong in Scraps. We know they are dead fun, but the doll gallery is for showing off things you did pixel or tooled, not for things you put together from premade pieces. Even if you have edited a doll made from a doll maker, it is still not your art and must be put in Scraps. There is chat room for doll makers and players also they have their own dictionary. There are several ways from which you can start a base. From a drawing you have created on your own whether traditional or digital, drawing from referencing and lastly through tracing. It is recommended that you create a base from your own drawings and not through tracing.
