two dolls, made 100% by me...the original was Arsenic, for a "chemical elements" contest...
I started with the base, making something that looked victorian, suited for a corset-y thing...and then looked for an outfit.
I stumbled upon a site called Arsenic Fashions and was inspired by a dress I found there...
I used metalic grey and yellow, because they are the colors of arsenic, and green because the element used to be used in making Emerald Green dye.
The lace, if you look closely, is made up of bugs - spiders, in particular - because arsenic is an insecticide! the clips in her hair, also look like bugs.
her jewelry and hair are bronze, because arsenic was used to strengthen bronze.
her skin is pale, because victorian women took arsenic in small doses to lighten their skin.
finally, she's holding a poison bottle - because arsenic was a VERY popular poison in the 1800s. XD
after I was done, I played with colors some, and come up with the lovely lady Absinthe. ^.^
buh!! gah@ greeeeen @____@! *spits and sputters* the colours on this are so vibrant and gorgeous hon. beautiful shadows and light here and the folds and details are shaded so well. loveth!
that contest seems like a lot of fun *was total chem nerd in HS* even if i miss the deadline i may still do some research and give it a whirl XD
I don't know if just looks that way, or is absinthe paler? They are beautifully done anyway

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
We have decided to organize this contest to motivate people create more art. We would be happy if you would give it a try. You can think of anything you want, just make sure you still respect the theme. You can choose to illustrate dreams, nightmares or even both of them. Anything you want! Try not to be macabre if you are picturing nightmares. Respect the rules, have fun and most important, follow your heart!
