I had so much fun repainting the dolls I thought I’d actually do a drawing too. I can’t seem to get this thing inked in a way I like though, so you get the sketch with color thrown under it instead! Maybe someday it’ll be a proper thing.
I spent this morning giving Ladybug new hands and carving some plastic from around her joints to let her move more after Cat Noir got the same treatment last night. Cat Noir also got the wrist guard-y glove bits on his wrists that balance out his boots nicely. He was looking lacking without them, so I found some leather scrap from my stash and hooked him up.
The original colors of their donor hands keep poking through on the joint, and I think I might try to take off more material at their elbows to get more movement, but I’m overall so much happier with them!
I’m gonna have to repaint his ring now, and the bits of blue in the joint, but thanks to a tip off from @dollsahoy, this asshole has claws and mobile wrists now! Ladybug will be getting the same treatment as soon as I find a doll who doesn’t need her hands haha
And then I start taking tools to their elbows and THEN they will be decent
My Cat Noir and Ladybug repainted dolls together! I feel like she looks like she’s on a slightly different scale than he is, but I’m not sure if that’s just her rooted hair or not.
They were such a fun project spawned from just really hating factory painting’s lack of resemblance to the characters. Now I just love these two~
Repainted Cat Noir, the proud owner of the last available doll stand in my apartment.
His articulation is frustrating, but he’s such a cute little dude. That that tiny bell actually jingles cracks me up.
I included a before picture of him in the plastic - I waa so excited to start i didn’t take any out of the package before I started taking his face off!
