Gackt Paper Doll update.

[karadin.livejournal.com]

All ten costumes now up - wigs will probably post tonight or tomorrow, but y'all might have to wait a few days for the file to print out everything, (costumes have to be sized down in proportion, tweaked and tabs added) gomen!

Along with the file will come written instructions on making the dolls, including magnet versions! These are never cheap, as I priced out the cost, magnetic sheets, lamination, good color copies, steel paper, just materials alone are over $30 per set, (for the 12" dolls)

*I've found magnet sets online for $35 plus shipping, and those were smaller dolls with five costumes where as this is a larger doll, ten costumes, (17 separate pieces) plus six wigs and four accessories - Belle, Eneru, Mei and the Mercury Guitar. (27 pieces plus the doll)

I will do what I can to get the cost down, I'm never going to make money on the dolls, that wasn't the point, it was to make a present for my kids - and Gackt - and to do some color illustration for a change!

Thanks for all the kudos, that makes it worth while! I look forward to seeing how they turn out for you.

And taking a cue from Gackt-sama, the Kenshin set is next, but feel free to request a costume for the next set, as well as custom dolls.

Amazing job! *O* You put so much detail into the costumes, they really are superb! ^O^

thank you, working with Gackt always a pleasure!

Your welcome, the most work was the doll - nerve wracking doing near naked Gackt in a thong, the clothes were actually fun after that!

Lol! xD Gackt looks amazing too! =P

All your hard work is wonderful! I like his feet in the Kenshin doll. ^^;;; They are well drawn! It can be annoying to draw feet...

Man, these costumes are just...amazing...

For some reason, I love drawing hands and feet, I'm masochistic that way. I really want to do the Yami No Shuen Shingami costume, all that lovely leather, but all black costumes are a bitch (see Genesis outfit)

Next a Gackt as Kenshin series, and I think that might need a new doll ....

[shinimegami21]

I thought you did that costume already? Or do you want that as a doll? That will be a challenge, since those parts are so quick and slightly blurred.

Uh oh, back to the drawing board. *pun pun* XD

AND I HAVE A REQUEST! *cue cheesy music* the N.P.S.N.G.S costume. I love that uniform,mainly because gackt-san is in it XD okay enough of my ranting *shuts up*

Arigato, glad you like!

What is the npsngs costume? if I may ask? I dont' know if I'll be doing MM costumes, not that they aren't great, but Gackt might not care for them ....

I did a drawing of that costume once, but its the all black leather tattered outfit he wore with eyepatch on Music Station. Cutting that out will be fun!
