Lumina

(I've actually been drawing a bit lately... and I DO have "update dA" written on my to do list... will I ever get around to scanning and uploading these things...? Who knows. I'll certainly try. Thanks for sticking by me, everyone who doesn't care for the dolls <3 you're pretty awesome.)

I spent the past 3 months making this doll for a giveaway on my instagram. I let people vote on different steps in the making of her to qualify for the giveaway. It was a really fun challenge and I like the outcome a lot. She already travelled across the globe to her new owner. <3
Her theme is "moth", although she is not modeled after a specific kind of moth. I like that she has a kind of art nouveau elegance about her. Her antennae were a pain to figure out how to do, but they became my favourite part in the end.
