Hey, everyone. Some of you might remember me from years past and/or may recognize me from WhiskerWick. I wander through the PC for a while every few years, making a lot of noise, then vanish for a while, only to return again a few years later. Like...UFO sightings. I was chatting with Sasha on discord recently, and decided to check out RKC again. Anyway, if you don't know me: Hi! I'm gumdrop. I'm 32, live in the South, and like Star Trek and pasta. I live with my spouse Damien (an artist!) and their other partner [Redacted], and our two analog cats, Percy and Hennessey. I write for a living and also for fun, and I also collect ball-jointed dolls. I've severely downsized my crew, but I've got a couple hexies I play with--a dragon that someone on WhiskerWick hexed me, and a lava demon from Sasha. (Most of the petz I've had over the years were lost to computer crashes and lost thumb drives, tragically.) I used to hex a bit, nothing too fancy, but I'm spectacularly out of practice and very bad at finishing projects. My favorite petz breeds are Siamese and Great Danes, but I don't dislike any! Here's my smol dragon with her tiny hoard of one (1) gold coin. I love her.

Hello everyone! Thanks so much, it's nice to be back <3 Analogue cats xD, I’m dieee welcome backkk!! So glad to see you! FRAND HALLO. And yes well they haven't been digitized yet! stancymckatt I did indeed pixel it, although I used a base. I think the base was from Blood-Cocoa on DevintArt? I've been doing pixel dolls since about 2003 or so, when they were actually still a popular thing to do and not just a relic from a bygone era.

gumdrop I used to do them too. My ID on Pixel Glam was StancyMcKatt I just up an stopped going there around 2009. My two main buddies in the community quit, so I lost interest. Thanks for the link to blood cocoa ILCK was one of my favorites. The last couple of days, I've been pixeling. So far I've done a stamp, and I'm using a picture of one of my catz as a 'dolling base'. I"m amazed at what I remember. XD I think 2008 or 2009 was the last time I actually did pixeling. XD

stancymckatt that's awesome! I was never in any groups or anything, but like...I really like drawing outfits & characters, and I'm not good at proportions and stuff, so pixel dolls continue to be a valued medium for me. Mostly I just share them with my spouse lol

Mostly I just share them with my spouse lol Proportions are one of the hardest things to get correct, especially on people and horses. Almost every artist I've talked to has said that. I've been fighting with it lately. I drew 40 thumbnail sketches of faces last night and still didn't get one that looked quite right. *shrugs* Besides, there's loads of bases still out there, why bother drawing them if it isn't fun? XD
