Gyaru plush Doll progress

So far, my project has been very lackluster. My clay was delivered to the wrong address, and I had to get it redelivered, but it arrived just in time. The materials I have used so far have been aluminum foil, clay, magnets, and a very fluffy fleece fabric, along with gel polish and stuffing. I would say that so far, I am almost done with one doll, which came out a little smaller than I intended, but I think the design change had to be made to get the project done faster. So far, I have the body and head done, and I still have to attach the arms and ears. One thing I do need to plan on working on is the clothes and accessories. For the doll I am currently working on, I want to do the kogal aesthetic, which is like the school gyaru; however, I do not have the fabric for the jacket. I am currently using a darker brown compared to the lighter tan that is typically used. I also need to work on the face. While I have a general plan of what I want the face to look like, I think I have sketched a simple plan for the main faceplate with color. I did a practice run of what type of material to paint on the face. I decided to use gel polish instead of acrylic, as I originally planned, because it gives me more of a grasp on what I can make matte and what can be shiny to emphasize parts of the makeup and keep it simple. I also like that glitter polish has more glitter than the glitter paint, making adding details more fun. I also think that i had a lack of fabric options so far so most of the color choices for the animal suit veered away from sketch. While I make the other dolls, the colors have become dull, but the textures are more interesting from two different cheetah or leopard print fabrics, and I have a fluffy white, pink, and raccoon tail pattern fabric. I also plan to make a yellow fabric tiger-striped if I have enough time, since I couldn’t find tiger-striped fabric at the store.

    You’ve made great progress despite the challenges, and your attention to texture really elevates the aesthetic. As you wrap up the first doll, are you thinking about carrying over some of these unexpected changes, like the smaller scale or fabric substitutions, to keep a consistent look across the rest of the collection?
