You guysss <3 I really really appreciate the love for the rag dolls. It makes me feel very warm and fuzzy inside c: (and helps me keep going, year after year! I think I've done around 70 of these things now? Maybe more?)

CAN I RAMBLE FOR A BIT? I love characters that aren't in an all black outfit. THERE ARE SO MANY. Each year I try to do 5 male characters and 5 female. I also try to make sure I get a lot of diversity in there! (This year was lovely, I actually had characters to choose from so thank you, pop culture)

I tend to only draw from things I've actually seen, so I can appreciate the personality of the character. I watch a lot of TV/film while I'm working so I can usually keep up with user suggestions. I don't really watch anime though, and I have to skip so many of those suggestions!

I realised this year that I haven't drawn Buffy. This pains me. It was between her and Jubilee this year, and I went with Jubilee because her outfit was great and it brought more diversity to the set.

I love doing a theme. Sidekicks was a lot of fun. Sometimes I just want to do all the characters from something, but I prefer the variety and being selective. I just started watching Preacher, and I'm immediately in love with Tulip. I wonder what I'll do next year?

Thanks for sharing your process with us, :D I love seeing/collecting the new Rag Dolls and Phugs each year <3

I loved this year's collection of rag dolls! I was not expecting Beyonce AT ALL, and so I was super excited to see her in the lineup. You gotta do Nicki and Rih now to complete the holy trinity though. P:

I also loved that Cersei got a doll this year!! I loved the end of season outfit for her, so I'm excited to shove that rag doll into my selfie pet's TC.
