The tentative title for the book series I'm writing is "Aurora", the name of the main character. I can't decide what I want to do to distinguish between each of the books. I could give every one a completely different name, like the Twilight or Narnia series, or go "Aurora and the..." like the Harry Potter series. I'm more leaning toward "Aurora: somethingsomething" just using a colon. But I'm not sure.
Anyway, I had fun yesterday making "Dollz" of some of the main characters in the series on http://dollzmania.com/ . The site is awesome. The only problem I had was that some of the character makers don't have alot of "normal" clothes - it's all themes and formal and punk stuff, and most of my characters wouldn't wear anything like that, because they're just normal kids going to school. They have their own styles, but generally nothing really far out. Also, alot of the makers that had good clothes didn't have the right hairstyles. So that was a challenge, but I think I ended up with a couple that I was happy with.
This is the outfit that I thought would fit Aurora best, however the hair is not exactly right.
This hairstyle displays more of the soft curliness that I imagine for her hair. The color is still wrong, though. I imagine Aurora wearing a lot of light fabrics and sundresses, although obviously strapless isn't very practical.
This is the color I imagine for her hair, although maybe a little peachier. Just a very light, creamy blonde.
Autumn was very easy to do. There were long, auburn hairstyles a-plenty, and lots of outfits that suited her fitted, diva-ish style. The only thing was that they didn't have any olive-skinned girl bodies.
Both of these looks are pretty accurate for how I imagine Novel's character. She's casual, yet stylish. The hair is pretty accuate too, especially the second one. She has very long hair and hazel eyes, and apparently wears alot of purple.
Yes, Maria is black and has red hair. Don't ask me how it works.
Ayla is more of an antagonistic character. Her style is punk and somewhat gothic. She's the ex-girlfriend of the main guy character, Mion.
Lolita is more of a minor character, but a lot of the clothes and hair suited her. She works at a bar and is quite the little tart.
All the guy clothes suck, but for some reason I can't pinpoint what it is about all of them that I don't like, or what is missing.
I couldn't make a single doll based on Emerald that I was happy with. There were some green hairstyles, but they were all very bright and pixie-ish. Emerald is a troubled girl with medium-length olive green hair. There was just nothing that suited her at all. Anyway, it was a well spent afternoon...!
