Marianne84 Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) Ahh, I still haven't posted the photos! I will soon, it's just there's a lot and editing took some time. There are more than just one way for Mika to inspire me. His looks and affection for toys got me to create Mini Mika. BUT... it's his songs too, and especially all the funny and fascinating characters he has created. I don't even know how some of them look like, because there are many versions of them. So I might as well do my own versions! And I mean as dolls. Before I had even heard the new songs I painted a doll that turned out to be looking like a fish. So a fish she became! I finished her a few days ago and quickly made her an appropriate dress. Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce to you... Lady Jane before she found her fella, lost him, cut off her feet and got eaten! The little pic shows the doll's head before customizing. I repainted the face completely and also did a partial hair re-root and gave the doll rooted eye lashes. I would have put this in the fan art thread but didn't wanna scare too many people - as this is fan art to the extreme!

Marianne84 Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 My little viking-to-be, Caliste, who is a former Fashion Royalty 'Old Is New' Giselle now on a Dynamite Girl body by Integrity toy company (I love this language of doll collectors! ) is dancing here to Mika's Grace Kelly Remix at the disco. Notice the gesture she does with her hand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there's more coming. I don't think I have shown you the photos of Mini Mika's send-off party yet. In addition I have a new Mini Mika! I started painting him yesterday and he's looking good so far. I'm making two Mika dolls this time and one of them will be for sale! I'm gonna post two more blogs this week, so keep an eye out for more pictures and news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marianne84 Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 (edited) Mini Mika number 2 - first photos! Here is Mini Mika's ex, Artem, introducing the next two Mini Mikas! I will sell one of them once they are both finished. I didn't want to paint another doll with a huge smile on his face. I wanted to do something more serious this time. So I removed the lip paint and cut off the doll's teeth and shut his mouth with super glue. The first time I do something like this! I then removed the rest of the paint and started repainting the face. I'm not satisfied with the shape of the mouth, because it makes his eyes look somehow... you know, pervy. And that's not the look I want for this doll. More like this: I want it to be a serious face, so I'm going to try re-molding the lips today, using clay. I have wiped off his left eye because it wasn't on the same level with the other one. Shame, 'cause I really liked the eyes so far. You can't always get it right at the first try (I never do).

Marianne84 Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 Thanks! Unfortunately there isn't a perfect head mold for a Mika doll, so I had to make one. I sculpted his mouth! Can you tell it's him? More like the Joker, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkly1 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 so how do you go about re-sculptering a plastic doll? do you melt the parts into shape, cut them, and what paints do you use that don't rub off? (just curious cos I saw the last Mika doll in person at Saddlers Wells, you were sat a few seats up from us). I did send you the video I have of him receiving it have'nt I?

Marianne84 Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 No, I don't think I have seen your video. I'd like to see it though! I didn't have to melt anything. I hated the doll's dimples so my original idea was just to cover them somehow, so yesterday I bought some polymer clay called Milliput. I use acrylics to paint my dolls, but I have no idea how well the paint stays on the sculpted part of the doll's face. My sculpture is now rock hard and I'm going to start painting it tonight.

Marianne84 Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 Mattel is producing that Sugar Daddy Ken after all! I'm so buying it! Artem has this France inspired night club called 'Moreland'. He took his friend Scarlett there, to help her get over her idiotic boyfriend Heath. I think she's managing just fine! The brown haired guy in the middle will be one of the new Mini Mikas, I just wanted to tell you that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marianne84 Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 Thanks! The shirt is signed by Mika himself! And sealed with three kisses! I haven't customized THAT Mini Mika much yet. He just has good genes which is why I chose him to be the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
