Description
Please DO NOT Steal Character.Mode Keys from Left to Right
1. Elegant Mode - Not much to say. I tried to do a diamond design at the bottom but it came out sloppy...
2. Sunstone Canyon Key- One of my favorites. I basically was thinking about how the red rocks in desert places such as Utah and Arizona and how they seem to change color depending on how the sun its them. Thus the gradient pattern in her dress reflecting that of a sunset. The stones are suppose to be that of the actual sunstone rock. A very valuable stone that when polish well especially, is shimmery and comes in the colors of the sun. The feathers are inspired by the red-tail hawk. A very important creature to the native tribes that lived within the red rock areas.
3. Moss Agate Key- Weird name but I really love her design that I came up with. Inspired by this interesting stone i01.i.aliimg.com/wsphoto/v0/63… I actually have small moss agate stones. Not completely the prettiest looking stones, at least when you think about pretty jewelry for something elegant, but the most interesting and since they play a important part in Native American culture, it makes for some pretty interesting designs.
Before you asked, yes I used Gimp to edit them. At least adding the patterns to them. It's just easier to add patterns using a program than to use the draggies. Least then you can get what you have in your head out quicker and easier and it won't take so long. Draggies are good for building something on the avi and some things like adding jewels. Not so much patterns.
Character belongs to me and so does her design idea.
Made with Senshi Maker 3.0 at Doll Divine.

She's awesome Tech! As Killergirlfuria said, the lines are a bit raggedy but meh, it's just a small issue. Other than that she looks real good. So elegant and lovely!

You could save them transparent with no bg, you know.

I know I did that. I saved the non bg png files then after editing them, I placed them within a background I saved from the maker. I don't like posting things without a background, especially with personal artworks like my own drawings. I always feel or worry someone would try to steal them if I don't. I know these are dolls and they wouldn't get away with that anyway, but I still don't feel comfortable posting them without a background.

I mean, their lines got blurred and ragged as if you didn't D:

I know you're just trying to help but can you at least say something a little pleasant about the picture? Part of constructive criticism is not only to say what needs to be fixed but also to encourage and leave a positive feel that you're just trying to help. Thus encouraging the artist to do better.
Like you could have said "It looks very lovely but the lines are a bit raggedy. You could have done this to avoid that." When you say things like "Oh you could have done this you know." It almost looks like you're scorning the artist for the imperfection or mistake and it looks more like you're complaining than trying to be helpful. Criticizing is helpful and even harsh criticism is helpful but it's more helpful to leave a positive encouragement with your critiques so is not to sound hateful either.
She obviously tried and it looks real nice, yes the lines are raggedy, but I don't think it's total big deal unless you're looking it a bit close. It's not like she does it all the time and with dolls of all things, especially dolls made with doll makers, people expect some flomps here and there. As Tech said, it's hard to work in such weather and sometimes, you just want to cut corners. I'm her friend in real life. I know the hot temperature she endures. It's not fun unless of course you're at the pool and it zaps your energy. She's been working hard on other dolls. You should have seen the one she made of Shut and Twilight on tumblr. She worked hours on the both of them. They're really quite good! ^^

Techou is my friend and she knows what I meant saying that, and that's what mattes to me. And I hope that she appreciates sincere opinion more. No need to rudely interrupt our conversation, even with good arguments.

Serena wasn't being rude and your opinion does matter to me but I also agree a little bit with Serena. I do see you're trying to help but I also think Serena makes good points. Encouragement is a part of criticism. I don't expect praise but I also believe in a proper balance of positive encouragement with the building critique. That's what I do when I critique something so is to show I mean well when I critique. I do see your points but Serena makes good points too. You both do. It's good to be sincere and it's good to be kind and encouraging.
Serena is a very close friend of mine as well, she's like a sister to me and I would like it if you would respect her just as I respect you. You're both my friends and Serena never ever means to be rude or nasty just like I know you don't.

I'm just not keen on someone interrupting my conversation with someone else. If she wanted to point that out, she could, I dunno, write me private note.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
She wasn't interrupting. It's as she says, when you post things where others can see it, it's open to discussion with everyone. That's sorta the risk one takes when commenting. I don't see it as rude. I see as when you comment somewhere, you're opening a discussion with anyone who happens to come along. I reply a lot to people and people do the same to me and no one has ever had an issue with it.
Serena is not keen in private notes unless they are her friends and need to discuss something personal.

I'm not rudely interrupting. When you comment in public, you're opening yourself to a conversation with everyone, especially on an art site where all matters of discussion is encouraged. Sorry if you thought I was rude. . As said, Tech is my friend in real life. We even went to school together, so I don't see why we can't communicate with each other and share our thoughts.

I don't do private notes with people I don't know and I don't feel there is a reason to. Again, when commenting, you're opening yourself to the public. There's a "reply" button for a reason and it's not just for the artists to use, but for everyone to use and open discussion. That's the point in art community sites and forum based sites.
I always feel it's quite cowardly to critique in notes or give advice in notes when it has to do with say artwork or a discussion. It's like you have something to hide or feel ashamed when someone critiques you. There's nothing to fear. We're all flawed. Plus I feel like you would have just disregard anyway, being even if I note you, you would know I saw your conversation and I'd be commenting on a discussion anyway. It makes no sense why I would note you on a discussion when I can just comment.

That's because I got lazy and instead of using Gimp like I should have done so to place them in the background, I used paint instead.
Gimp is a pain in the butt to load and I just didn't bother with it so I just did that. One of these days I will reload it and put them in the background properly that way, but I've been tired and its hard work even just doing dolls, especially where I live. It's 108 degrees (42 C) even with air conditioning, that's still miserable temperatures to work in. So I get more lazy during this time.

I know Gimp is pain, I use it too, to save transparent files I:
You know, there's Paint.NET, you might want to try it, I think it would work just fine. And it loads faster.
Don't you tell me about miserable temperatures, I felt like dying when it was so unbearably hot here where I live ;-;
