Formal Dolls

All dolls drawn/pixelled/tool-shaded by me in Microsoft Paint, Paint Shop Pro 9, Photoshop 7 or The Gimp.
All bases are credited unless I have forgotten where they have come from, in which case you can contact me if you know (which would be very much appreciated).
Please read and follow the rules. Thanks! :)

Info: I followed a fold tutorial for this doll. I sort of like the folds, but the middle part of the dress is pretty bad. The hair is OK, but is a terrible colour.
Shading technique: Tool.
I like: The dress folds.
I dislike: The rest of the dress.
Base credit: Doll on the Hill Factory.
 
Info: I just felt like making a formal doll. I found a picture of a formal dress and dolled it. :D I quite like the way it turned out, but the colour blending isn’t so good.
Shading technique: Pixel.
I like: The dress.
I dislike: Nothing.

crying hand drawn doll
Info: Part of a Valentine’s Day contest entry. That thing coming out of her hand is a necklace. :p I was trying a different shading technique on the folds and, in my opinion, it worked. :D
Shading technique: Pixel.
I like: The dress, especially the folds, the shoes, and the hair.
I dislike: Nothing.

Info:I love the pink part of this dress. This was another doll that I made copying a picture of a prom dress. I was out of dolling ideas, and I love formal dresses. I think the shading on the dress is great, although the palette I used wasn’t so good, and it’s been eaten by the gif monster. :(
Shading technique: Pixel.
I like: The pink of the dress, the hair.
I dislike: The colour palettes.

Info: The only thing that ruins this couple (IMO) is the shading on her dress. His hair isn’t so hot either. I like the shape of the dress, especially at the top, but the shading is awful, particularly the body part. I like the girl’s hair, but his is too cartoonish. The guy was going to be wearing a jacket, but I liked the shirt too much. :D
Shading technique: Pixel.
I like: The shape of the dress, the guys shirt and trousers, the girl’s shoes and hair.
I dislike: The shading of the dress, the guy’s hair.

Info: Man, the hair is crap on this. I tried following a tutorial, but I was new to tool shading, and it was a hair tutorial for a portrait doll. :p The dress is kinda crappy too, that was made following another tutorial. The folds aren’t quite right.
Shading technique: Tool.
I like: Nothing.
I dislike: Everything.
