Mademoiselle DC Phoenix
Hello Phoenix ! 
What is your Country ?
USA
Since when have you been making dolls ?
Since 2004, around Christmas time.
 
How did you discover the world of the dolls and the pixel art?:
My good friend blue (link: http://www.eclectic-blue.com/) began trying out pixel dolling after finding sites like Swiss Cheese Army and ILCK. After she showed me some of her work, I decided to try it for myself.
What gave you the desire to create your own dolls? I draw and paint already, so I wanted to see what I could create after looking at blue's dolls and finding other dolling websites - I wanted to make beautiful thinks like Angy-Chan and Jaeden did on their sites and so I practiced every day!

How did your integration in the doll community went? Did you immediately went to the forums ?
The first forum I joined was Realm of the Forbidden way back when; afterwards I found Eden Enchanted and then have been on many other dolling forums as both a member and staff. I've found the dolling community to be very friendly and people were very open to helping me grow and improve as a doller.
Which are your idoles (in the real life and on the Web) ?:
I admire my mother greatly for her strength and for her patience, she taught me how to be patient and work steadily at something to make it the best I can be. I also admire TONS of pixel artists (way too many to list here) and a few artists on the web: Hyung-tae Kim, Wen-m, Ross Campbell and others.
Which dollers do you admire ?: 
I love Jaeden's work (I studied her dolls for a long time to try and imitate her style), as well as Guardian's for her palettes and the way she pixels folds in clothing, as well as all of her detailing .. also Blue, for getting me into the whole hobby in the first place.
 
The dolls are for you: a simple leisure or a true passion ?:
Somewhere both -- I do have passion for dolling and I regard it as art, just like drawing or painting, but it's great for when I'm bored or just looking to kill some time, but I also get tremendously inspired and doll nonstop if I find a neat contest or have a good idea. I've been doing it for a long time and I have no intention of stopping!
 
Finally, could you choose 3 favorites dolls among your work ?



 


a baseless pixel doll of my RP character, Nimue, who I have been playing for three years now. this was the first major baseless thing I ever tried and I'm quite happy with it. I especially love how her hair came out, hair is one of my most favorite things to doll.


base

a re-do of a much older doll; I never, ever use yellow in my dolls and I really liked the concept and wanted to doll her again!


base

a much older doll, but still one of my favorites. this one started a sari craze on Eden Enchanted. I love dolling sari, because they're quite intricately detailed and I enjoy all of the gold accents and dangly bits, as well as Indian culture.

 

thank you for interviewing me! enjoy!
