Ash Silverstone Doll Analysis

Because I knew the controversity, but I didn't think it would be... this 😬.

My opinion: Basically, Ash Silverstone's male body is an updated version of the rainbow high series 2 sculpts imo and I don't get it 🙁. I'm not saying this is a bad thing exactly. The only problem is it was released with series 4 Rainbow High Dolls. And Shadow High Series 1 dolls were way better too, by this time. Thus, it is confusing.

It has it's pros and cons. I haven't heard about these things enough. So I will share. Go down the list lol uwu. 😊

- DOLL STANDS -

(on the left is S2 Krystal Bailey's Stand, in the middle is Ash Silverstone's stand SH S1, and on the right is Nicole Steel's stand SH S1)

I didn't notice the shape to start with, but the boy dolls have unrealisticly-realistic masculine bodies. And they don't fit on the same stands as the girls do. But, they were realesed with a series of dolls with advanced stand tops. And the masc doll stand is more reminiscent of the older stands.

Also, Ash in his clothes was still extremely tight on this stand too 🤨. Weird they didn't fix it.

* Extra fact: All of Ash's pants come with drawstrings. No valcro. I feel like this should have been a thing, for the girls, some time. This somewhat offends me. Not that that's important. But I am slightly irked now. 😐

- DOLL BODIES -

Overview: Ash Silverstone's overall mold is pretty and shiny. But... that actually makes it less posable. Above, we compare on the left, Ash Silverstone, to Krystal Bailey on the right. Their upper arms are brought as close to the body as they can. And as the image shows, Ash cannot bring his elbows to his torso. Which, strongly, annoys me.

Also, the legs on Ash's mould cannot come further together, because the thighs are so thick and the crutch is a crutch. Which is fine. But also, it looks so cool. But then it does that. Ugh!

Also, mentioning the torsos. The boy torso is so unrealistic that I find it cringy. BUT, look at those collar bones. If the boy has the collarbones on his mould... why don't the girls?

The Actually body of Ash's sculpt, is like... thicker? Than the female mould. Which is both offending and crazy. The curvy doll has yet to come out yet, but it would probably be easier for MGA to recycle some of Ash's moulds, because they are thick enough.

The tiny knees on Ash look Aesthetically pleasing, but they too, are problematic. See the source bellow:

(On the left is Krystal Bailey S2, on the right is Ash Silverstone SH S1)

I find it extremely annoying, because you can feel Ash' knee connecting with the plastic of the thigh, but there is no space for it to come out. I would be fine if it didn't do that. Boys are less flexible irl typically, sure. But the knee wants to bend *release frustrated scream*

Furthermore, Ash's character can do the equivalent of a split. Showing he is above the typical flexibility abilities of most men. But his knees are less efficient than the girls? This is problematic world building. And a nitpick. And frustrating anyway.

(On the left is Ash Silverstone preforming his best attempt at the splits SH S1. On the Right is Krystal Bailey, showing off the flexibility she houlds over Ashe's mould, she is RH S2)

(First image, left side, we have a comparison of: On the top, Krystal Bailey S2, Middle is Ash Silverstone SH S1, and at the bottom Is Reina "Glitch" Crowne from SH S2)

When comparing hands, it is clear that Ash Silverstone's mold is much choppier and low quality than newer molds. I compared my S3 Daria mould and it still had the indentations, but I believe Shadow High series 1 doesn't have them. I also find the larger hand mold is held back by the closeness of the wrist. It doesn't turn as well, doesn't quite have as much movement as his female doll counterparts, because these issues. Which is annoying, to a lesser degree. His wrist pins look pretty bad though. don't know if I just drew a bad straw, or if they were all pretty bad in the same way.Not sure I wanna find out 😬.

(Image 2 gives a side view centred on the elbow joints of the two dolls, which are facing inwards. Again, Krystal Bailey S2 is on the left, Ash Silverstone SH S1 is on the right)

Ash Silverstone's wrist joint is... annoying bulky. It makes click sounds and has 3 spots it prefers to be and shifts between. The join is stiff, and takes a bit more to stop in the right position than the female doll molds. A great fidget toy, sure. Still annoying to pose.

Finally, last but not least, we have,

(on the left is Krystal Bailey from S2 RH, and on the right is Ash Silverstone from SH S1. They are both posed to better show the ability possessed by the Male doll mould)

Ash Silverstone has FLIPPING Rotation at his ANKLES!!! 🤩 why did I not pick that up before. Everything I hear about joints like waist and ankles is that they are annoying. But apart from the fact that you have to stop them from spinning when taking off his annoyingly tight shoes, they seem really strong and capable. Put him on the doll stand and he can so so much more. He could kick a ball. He could trip someone with his high heels he is wearing.

I can't tell if this is a positive or negative trait. But I don't care. I find it really exciting. Between his eyes and his ankle joints, I wanna get another boy doll. Because ankle joints are cool. His eyes are cute. And everything else can get fucked. I really don't get my own appreciation. But I can appreciate it.

Y'all, keep avoiding the boy dolls. That way I can get them cheaper 😊🤪😆.

Don’t play with me now, this better be for real-

#they FINALLY made the right choice #logic wins #although I really hope this isn't him here #and its just a random guy from the Earth Kingdom #because I'm not feeling this design #he looks like a background character in that Metal clan #Zaofu? #or one of Kuvira's goons #but I'm willing to overlook it as long as they don't make him a basic stereotypical Earth-bending Muscle-head #if you watched the show you would know what I'm talking about #Avatar #LOK #ATLA

ETHO - BDUBS - GEM Designs for Season 10!

They be pirates :]

Every new smp/series I come across- i like to assign an overarching theme to it and this hc season is no different:

The mainland of Season 10 is riddled with pirates and cowboys. Each hermit is wanted of some charge, for one reason or another. As initiation, losing a life will remove that bounty and that hermit can start fresh. But becoming the last survivor, that hermit will be gifted the Treasure of the Island (whatever the reward Grian says it is 😭)

"i love your designs" GOOD because I have MANY IDEAS and even MORE designs. Feast/j

There's one more version/ending of the lamb I have in mind that is when they choose to just, sacrifice themselves (aka give up the crown) but I have already drawn too much today and it's time to sleep....maybe another day

#cult of the lamb #narilamb #not explaining the symbolism behind the design choices unless asked because thats too much text #myart

into the hobie-verse! (inspired by all the hobie concept art)

prints

#at the end of the day i think they made the right choice going with the design they did #but that doesnt mean i can't still brainrot over all the potential hobie variations #tall!hobie with those headphones might be my favourite like i think if i saw him in theaters i mightve had a heart attack #its so cool how christie tseng managed to indicate so many subtly individual personalities with each design and i tried to carry that over #like how hobie (foreground right side) is sorta moodier #and how hobie (white hair and white pants) is a bit more boisterous compared to the others and their laid back attitudes #i might be reading too much into this #hobie brown #spiderman #spiderverse #spiderman across the spiderverse #spider punk #stillindigo art

Tinúviel was dancing there to music of a pipe unseen. And light of stars was in her hair and in her raiment, glimmering.

Don't mind me, just thinking about how Queen Charlotte is still dressing like it's the late eighteenth century forty years later, how it's portrayed as a deliberate choice with her entourage also echoing the same exaggerated rococo style, how Lady Danbury is shown to have moved on by adopting the regency silhouette, how Brimsley said the Queen's daughters wouldn't leave her because she was trapped in time, frozen...

#i know probably it was more of a stylistic choice in Bridgerton but retroactively... the implications... #it's fine i'm fine #bridgerton #queen charlotte a bridgerton story #qcabs #qcabs spoilers #costume design #queen charlotte

rough concept for a hare pearl design, just a normal lass

#pearlescentmoon #double life smp #hermitcraft #furry #my art #I've assigned fursonas to every hermit. within 5 seconds for each one so i don't overthink it. just on vibes #hope to design a few bc i think my animal choices are based as hell. normally a wolf pearl truther but this felt more applicable overall #rabbits are associated with the moon and hares are kind of like them but weirder. felt fitting for pearlo!! #kinda weird and lanky and can attack you. lives in tunnels yknow
