Lady Dynamite Creates

Welcome to my channel!

Lady Dynamite Creates is where old dolls are given new life. I hope to provide some insight of my creative process and some tricks that maybe you have not learned. Please feel free to comment or ask questions.

I have always been a creative person and was a user interface artist for video games until I became a stay at home mom. I became enamored with customizing dolls when I discovered Dollightful and decided to try it for myself. I was hooked. I came to the art form with a background in metal-smithing, sewing, cosplay, 3-D modeling and photography and I try to incorporate my knowledge from my other artistic endeavors into my doll art. With the encouragement of my husband, I started selling my dolls and sharing my art with others.

    That is the one I referenced when sculpting this one. I love all the trident styled weapons in BFA they had so many great ones. I used to play all the time but haven't since BFA, I've done a couple of WoW dolls before and I used to do a lot of Blizzard cosplay too, I was working on a Kyrian Covenant Armor set when covid hit but I abandoned it because making costumes was too depressing when there where no cons on the horizon.

    So pretty! The details on the tail are amazing. I love when you can use cheap or leftover materials to achieve amazing results. I also think painting the scleras black was the perfect choice to make her look whimsical and deep-seeish. The name is such a good derivation too, so genius!

    She's absolutely gorgeous! But the weapon/history/myth nerd in me has to speak up, it's not a trident but a bident! In Greek mythology, the bident is a weapon associated with Hades, the ruler of the Underworld, just fyi. I think it's actually very fitting for a deep water mermaid! <3

    It worked surprisingly well. Hard type simply snapped with the shaping and was really brittle and full soft was too easily distorted. I think it was 3:1/hard:soft ratio in the end.
