Four of kick_galvanic and kittietoes' skeleton boy doll photos sent off to Chizine's webmaster, barry_king, with the following text:

Kat Caro of Melancholy Kitties custom paints ball-joint dolls. Zagzagael is a photographer and tattoo afficianado. Last year they collaborated on a series of images inspired by tattooed model Rick "Zombie Boy" Genest.

1.The Sleeping Prince.
"I closed his eyes in Photoshop."

2. Black on White.
"...This selective focus is also a good choice for this doll - helps calm the viewer down. He's very busy!... He's my wide-open sincere boy....it's amazing."

3. Calavera.
"Surprising how expressive a skeleton can be!... I don't even recognize the unpainted boy in him anymore....(Kat) just found this skeleton inside wanting to come out..."

4. Happy Valentine's Day.

Beautifully detailed steampunk doll costume posted on flickr.

Last night I combined a poseable doll body, from which I had removed the head in an earlier, ill-fated attempt to remodel*, with the head of a dollar-store doll that among other things had featured interchangeable molded-vinyl wigs. Today I took photos of the resulting frankendoll. (Possibly NSFW - nekkid doll.) I've also tried making up some yarn wigs for her, but nothing very elaborate yet. I may call her Jenny Haniver.

*said attempt is also the reason for the blackened hands and feet - I'd tried to paint gloves and shoes on her, and was unable to entirely clean them off.
