Pop Quiz: Rag Doll

Posted on August 25, 2012 by | 33 Comments

Happy Saturday, folks! School is starting, and with that comes the heartbreak of leaving behind childish things. Thus your one-day quick-fire challenge today is to create an image that uses the rag doll from ItemRight-Miscellaneous (pictured above). You can make her huge (tip: manually enter a number in the Scale control to get past the drag-control's limit) and dress her up, or you could have someone holding her, or you could make a tea party, whatever you like. But the rag doll must be visible and relatively prominent. In other words, don't open your Captain Awesome illustration and drop her in the background!

You only get one entry -- that's right, just one! So make it your best. Most of the other rules are the same as for a regular challenge, but instead of a whole week I'll announce my favorites either tonight or tomorrow morning. Elaborate backgrounds aren't necessary, though if you've got one it's fine.

  • All entries must be in JPG or PNG form (BMPs are too big), posted to a publicly accessible website (like ImageShack, PhotoBucket, the HeroMachine Forums, whatever);
  • Entries must be made as a comment or comments to this post, containing a link directly to the image and the character name;
  • Please name your files as [your name]-[character name].[file extension]. So DiCicatriz, for instance, would save his "Bayou Belle" character image as DiCicatriz-BayouBelle.png.
  • Please make the link go directly to the image (like this) and not to a hosting jump page (like this). Here's a quick-start guide on how to do that for various image hosting services.

I'll pick one entry as my personal favorite, which will get to be featured in the side bar to the right for ultimate glory! As a bonus you're allowed to say you won the Internet for a few days.

Good luck!

    Can We add a teddy or does it HAVE to be a doll?

  5. Jeff Hebert says:

    You can add anything you want so long as the rag doll is a relatively important part of the illustration.

    A lot of people went creepy with this one…which was also my first impulse haha. But after working on her, I like this design for a hero. Maybe a sixteenish orphan hero who protects the homeless kids of one of my cities, anyway definately keeping her. say hello Dolly!!!

    And the links to picasa are getting funky. If I do the ‘copy image location’ trick, it takes you to a much smaller version of the original :/

    But my name and the title are in the link….

    See where, in the middle of your link, it says “s800”? You can alter that at least up to s1800 and the image will display larger…(provided you uploaded it at a larger size)

    Here’s Danger Dolly, a mysterious superheroine, whose exact origin is the subject of several rumors. Some say that she is a child’s toy, Raggedy Dolly, come to life animated by magic, super science or space aliens. Not long after her first appearance, the makers of Raggedy Dolly introduced a version dressed in Danger Dolly’s uniform. Others say that she is in reality a little girl with the power to change forms with her doll; still others that she is a humanoid space alien using her resemblance to the doll to cover her identity. Whatever her origin, this much is known, she a superhuman athlete, who besides being super fast and strong is inhumanly limber. She is also very strange as a person. She seldom speaks,and when she does she seems a strange mixture of extremely intelligent and extremely ignorant, making it believable that she was a child, an alien or a toy.

    Both of you have files that are named wrong.

    Blackness Monster, your file should be named something like BlacknessMonster-RagedyAnna.png, not 78ae6ce9.png

    Tolkienhiste, yours should have your name in front, like tolkienhiste-marionette.png , not just marionette.png.

    Just trying to help or else Jeff won’t consider your entries.

    I guess I could’ve just finished this this morning since no one else entered with the extra time! Oh well, entries closed, results up in a moment.
