Doll Maker's Diary, Part 51: Y2k Fashion Doll Designer

The first Meiker-based doll designer game I discovered was the Y2K Fashion dress-up game hosted by Doll Divine. Given that this was the only game of its kind on the site that allowed you to recreate an outfit from the 2000s, I was not going to pass up this opportunity, and came up with some artworks depicting the original four CRASH Chronicles characters as they would have looked in that game - so here they are.

 

Above, from top: 2000s fashion illustrations of the original four CRASH Chronicles characters - Ellie Watts, Kayla Brooks, Claire Hayes and Alexa Lowe.

Stay tuned for more Y2K fashion dress up game artworks - I might even make some about the other CRASH Chronicles characters if I feel like it.

Doll Maker's Diary, Part 50: Farewell to Flash?

The announcement that Flash Player is being discontinued (in the sense that it will no longer be supported) at the end of this year made me feel concerned about the fate of the characters I had created for X-Girl and other Flash-based dress-up games. However, I have already made plenty of artworks using those, and plan to make montages of them - something I have seldom done before. In addition, the newer Doll Divine games run on the Meiker plugin, which will still be supported into 2021 and beyond. If the characters I made in the Flash-based games are to have a future, it will be in a Meiker-based doll-making game. So I would like to conclude the end of a wonderful era with one last picture:

Doll Maker's Diary, Part 49: How I Discovered Flash Doll Maker Games

Doll Maker's Diary, Part 49: How I Discovered Flash Doll Maker Games

With Adobe Flash Player (a plugin that underpins a wide variety of web apps and games) about to be discontinued (i.e. it will no longer be supported) at the end of 2020, I'm going to take some time to reflect on how I found the various doll maker games that relied on it. 

It all started around three years ago, when I was browsing the internet for custom superhero and/or princess designs. That's when I realized that I wanted some of my own. So, I visited Doll Divine and Azalea's Dolls and indulged in my doll-making fantasies. As time went on, I explored more and more of the dress-up games on offer, creating lots of designs and characters along the way.

Then came the announcement that Flash Player would no longer be supported at the end of 2020. That's when I realized that I would not waste this final opportunity to make some amazing designs. And within several months, I did just that. Ultimately, it was a short-lived endeavor, but one that I am most definitely satisfied with.

One of the last artworks I made in the X-Girl Creator Flash game (or any other Flash-based doll-making game) - truly the end of an era.
