Description This was a doll i created specifically for an article in the October 2010 issue of Doll Reader/Haute Doll magazine written by Dreux Priore on Vampire Couture.

The Background i created using Vue8 [link] which is a really great program for creating natural environments. The tombstones I created in Z-brush. The vamp doll is the only real thing in the image

The amazing costume hes wearing was created by Dreux Priore (link to his site)--> [link]

The doll is a one of a kind, I created him using the techniques i use to make all of my dolls..

To make my dolls, I first create the original doll sculpt in Super Sculpey, from my original sculpture i pull silicone molds and cast in a custom resin mix, i then drill my parts hollow and string with elastic (my dolls are completely poseable) i sand down the seams then i use ground up pastels to paint on the makeups.

The lighting in here is just amazing, and the integration of the background worked really well!

How did yuo do the eyes? Is that photoshop or did you put in some clear red acrylics and a LED?

Thank you, becuase of the lighting it was really tricky to cut out the figure after painting around all those feathers i wanted to punch Dreux, lol

The eyes were red silicone eyes, I just painted on a glow in photoshop

Fantastic! I so can't wait, I saw a preview mag in one of my local places, I hope I can snatch it up before it's all gone. <3

Really glad you found the issue, sometimes Doll Reader is tricky to find.

Good job on the whole composition, there's a good sense of unity with the disparate elements . He looks awesome too.

Thanks allot, I spent allot of time trying to get the lighting and color to match on all the seperate elements, some days I look at it and love it some days I look at it and I think it looks odd

thanks for the fave as well!

The background really adds to it! Are the red eyes glowing in the dark or does it just look like that?

BishonenHouse In reply to KakashiMorph [2010-10-09 17:41:30 +0000 UTC]

His eyes are red, But when I lit him I used very cold blue light (to match the light in the digital background) which turned his eyes a dark purple burgandy so I went back and photoshopped them to look red and glowing
