Decided to switch gears for a bit and design a rainbow high doll. I just got Victoria and got really inspired to try designing my own doll.
I noticed that there are not a lot of yellow dolls or dolls with natural Afro hair styles so I wanted to design around those two things. I settled on Honey Yellow as the color. Eventually I started looking into Nigerian fashion trends from 2022, and learned a bit about how Ankara is used and more about fashion in general. I’m trying to figure out an Ankara print that would work well for this doll.
But yeah, I would be curious to know what your guys input on this design is (especially if you know a bit about Nigerian or black American fashion). I’m still learning so some things about this beta design are probably not accurate yet, haha.
Allow me to present, Delilah Fields with textured hair:
Wow this took forever! I used the same process as xCanadensis used in her YouTube video on turning Zooey Electra into a Novi Stars doll, which in my case meant braiding the hair around 101 Pipecleaners, boiling the hair, freezing the hair, waiting 2 days for everything to finally dry, unwrapping all 101 Pipecleaners, separating the curls to give the hair more volume, and using hair ties to style it into puffs. Needless to say I was TIRED after all of that, but I think the result was SO worth the effort!
How are we feeling about the new moonbow dolls?? Soft reboot of shadow high? Dipping a toe back into novi stars?
I like the clear leg concept but I Wish mga would just make a new doll brand😭
Like, these are completely different conceptually from the og rh dolls? The strawberry purse is v cute though, definitely some good pieces from the line
this is HER outfit okay i have never been so absolutely in love with an outfit on a doll she is literally so perfect 🥺 so delicate and whimsical top tier restyle for me this may be my fav one ever.
Rewatched the Rainbowvision arc and I couldn't stop thinking about this scene (Rainbow High | season 3, ep 6). They're so silly.
I know Rainbow High s3 aired like 2 years ago but I have Storm Twins brainrot 24/7

Thoughts & twins
They're so fun to draw lol and their clothes were easier to stylise than expected. Ofc my own twins (which I got for my birthday last month) were my muses💜🖤 I cannot stop staring at them <- mentally gnawing on them
I'm a pencil drawing girlie but I've been starting to ink my pieces recently. I have a long way to perfect it but I'll try my best!
