Rather than continue to dither over what to start working on for the continuance of this blog, I just decided to jump into another volume of Judy, the London serio-comic journal. And rather than build on the previous doll who is looking a little tired to my eyes after two years, I drew a new model for this new volume. I skipped a couple of volumes in between, also, because I was trying to match up the seasons and volume 30 is a January-June volume, so it fits with the coming spring.
For reasons I cannot explain (nor comprehend myself, frankly), I consistently reduced the size of the original doll and clothes when I plated them, so even though this new one is drawn exactly the same size, the two are not compatible. If I can work up the energy to re-plate the old doll, then they should match. Sorry for the weirdness. I am trying to be more mindful of these things going forward.
Between these black & white dolls and the black & white dolls of my other paper doll blog (Comic Book Chronicles), I feel like I am being a lazy cheater. I want to do some color work here too, just still working out the details of the subject matter, etc. In the meantime, I will try to post at least a new Judy plate every week for the next five weeks.
