Okay so it's an anime-ish girl at school in the first picture & in the second one she's possibly enjoying her summer holiday, then what? Let me indroduce you to candydolls.
Candybar dolls, shortly candydolls or candy dolls, are pictures created online with dress-up-game-like "candydoll makers". These dolls originate from a Korean gaming website called Candybar. As I imagine it to be like (I couldn't find any proper sources..), these kind of characters were (and still are?) used as avatars on this website, and then someone made them into a dress-up game. Then it probably spread somehow and people started creating their own dolls and clothes in the style of these avatars.
I came across these dolls back in -06 or -07. I only knew a website called Sabrina's CandyDolls and used that, then later a friend of mine saw some dolls I'd done, she recognized the style and told me about eLouai. If you're a beginner with candydolls or computers I recommend trying eLouai out first, it's a bit easier.
I made some dolls to show you the variety of candydolls.
These dolls are made with Sabrina's candydoll maker:
If you want a stereotypical picture - well this is what candydolls are like. Overcute princesses. |
Generally candydolls are cute teenage girls with colorful clothes and pets. |
However they're not afraid of using dark colors either. |
There's nearly as big variety in their clothing as in real life! |
A nice upper-class girl, a nerdy goth or a tomboy-ish traveller? You choose :) |
Yes, it's a boy on the left! You can make boys aswell but there's not that much clothing for them. |
The following doll is made at eLouai:
Elvis and a creepy panda! XD |
So, if you have a couple spare minutes why not try making a candy doll? But watch out, you can get hooked very easily!
Song of the day: I haven't listened to this, but it surely fits the theme of this post - Caramelldansen
