Digital Doller Interviews!

Journal Entry: Tue Dec 27, 2011, 9:08 AM
introduction
The idea behind digital dolling is simple: Take or make a base body and "style it up" with whatever graphic programs are available (usually Paint or Photoshop.) Conceptually, you could say that it is fashion design, character design, miniature art, dress-up-games and illustration rolled into one. Technically, it's sort-of like the rebellious little love child of pixel art and digital painting.

In the Digital Doller Interviews you will find in my journal for the next few weeks, we will meet with people who also engage in this hobby and manage to produce stellar results.

The interviews will be short, and most of the questions will be similar for all interviewees because we want to cover a few basics. All the other questions will be specific to the interviewee's dolls and style.

This journal page will serve as a directory for the interviews as they come out. I plan on posting one interview a week, but let's see where this goes. ;)

The Interviews
Digital Doller Interviews: *1995Runaway:icon1995Runaway::dev1995Runaway:, also known as Rhapsody-Girly, is well-known in the dolling community. Her methods are classically pixel art but the results are always beautifully styled, with realistic folds and tiny details that make everything extra special.

First off, we would like to welcome you to the Dolling Community on DeviantArt. We're a small community compared to other areas of the site, but we're very welcoming and encouraging of newcomers of all shapes and sizes. :D Due to the small size of the community, not many people seem to know much about us or our quirks and terminology, so we've compiled a brief guide to help you with dolling and where to post your dolls (as we are aware some of our categories are quite confusing).

On with the article!

What is dolling?
Dolling is where you take a basebody either created by yourself or by someone else and draw hair, cloth

Well it's taken me long enough to read these. I absolutely love them! Just curious though if you get around to doing more interviews are you ever going to interview toolers?

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed them! :D
Yes, I will be doing more interviews. For the next batch, I was planning on asking specifically for toolers since there was a shortage of tooler nominations the last time. ^^
