Misha the Sidhe

Description

Sidhe are "effeminate, slender and almost as petite as their women" (Elysian Fields). That makes dolling them, or finding (accurate) play-bys for them, extremely difficult.

Of course, I only realise this now that I have an idea for a Sidhe... but since I had fun dolling this, and got to try out some new techniques (ie, tool shading instead of pixelling), I'm happy.

Yes, it's tool shaded. That's pretty obvious for the trousers and the boots, but for things like hair... well, it's not as obvious. It kind of looks like I've pixelled it, actually. I did pixel-shade certain things, like the pendant and the studs, but those are pretty minor.

I have to say, I've never been all that impressed with tool shading before. Some, sure, they look really good, but I've always preferred the effects of pixelling. But this, my first attempt at tooling, looks so much better than anything I could have pixelled, and it took way less time!

Edit (11/12/2011): Changed his name from Nisha to Misha, and wound up making him the NPC partner of a different character. I still like his doll, though. xD

I think that some more contrast or perhaps one colour that is more striking, would have made this doll stand out more. However, your technique seems really good (kudos for that on your first try tooling!) and the doll is pretty :D
