Doll Maker's Diary, Part 20: A Mythical Endeavor and Other Doll Creator Games

One of my recent side projects in the Heroine Fan Art Creator was to depict at least one of the STAR Agents as mythical deities or warriors. Even though the story takes place in the present day, I could not resist the temptation to ask the question, "What if the STAR Agents were taken to ancient times where gods and warriors reigned supreme"? I started off with the oldest one, Tiffany Ward, before moving on to her closest friend, Katie Parker, having taken a liking to the whole idea early on. So here they are, clad in armor befitting of a goddess - or an elite soldier in ancient times, come to think of it.

I was generally pleased with the result; in particular, Katie looked very much like an angel in the first picture, even though she did not have wings. Then again, considering that inhabitants of Heaven tend to be depicted mostly in gold and white outfits, it makes perfect sense. Both of the warrior goddess artworks, on the other hand, were done primarily in the respective character's favorite color.

Given that the results I obtained were very appealing, it should not be too difficult to imagine applying a similar costume to the doll of your choice. Speaking of myth and legend, there are several other games from DollDivine (the programmer of the Heroine Fan Art Creator) which convey a similar feeling. The Tudor Dress Up Game gives you the opportunity to create a doll in the style of Victorian-era royalty, while the Lord of the Rings Dress Up Game, with its options to create wizards, dwarves, and elves in addition to regular humans, is reminiscent of, well... Lord of the Rings. As for the Game of Thrones Dress Up Game, it easily captures the feel of the HBO series it's based on. There's also a Goddess Dress Up Game where you can create scenes themed after Greco-Roman mythology. However, if ice-skating princesses are more your thing, the Snow Queen Scene Maker game will suit you just fine. Finally, despite having a much more recent period theme (the mid-19th to early 20th centuries, if I am not mistaken), the Velvet Dress Up Game gives you a chance to make a doll which might as well resemble a goddess if you choose the right combination of items and colors. Here are some examples of sketches I made with them.

And last but not least, I would like to announce a Happy New Year to anyone making virtual dolls with anything from Doll Divine. To that end, my New Year's resolution is clear: I must explore these Flash games further in order to find out all the possibilities that await me. So watch this space.
