I originally said that I would never do another digital dressup doll unless it was either of a character of my own design or I could figure out something original to do with the format -this dogma went out the window though when I saw some artwork for the upcoming Nintendo DS game 'Trauma Center: Under the Knife'.

The character here is, according to the recent trailer from Atlus, Nurse Angie, though at the time I started making it, I had no idea what her name was. I just loved that odd pose, which would probably send you tripping to the floor if you attempted it in real life. The idea of a nurse with a wireless radio headset is a rather neat idea as well.

Using the original artwork, I redrew it in Flash, which proved to be an interesting challenge, for both the body shape and the shading. In that pose, the character is almost entirely legs, and her uniform actually hides the exact placement of her hips and waist. So, doing the basic body template proved to be more challenging than I anticipated (this is also why I skipped over the easter egg that I included with the other two previous dolls).

Wishing to do something more than just the two skirts, I thought I'd like to see how she'd look in a pair of shorts. This too proved to be a great challenge, and while I'm not 100% happy with the result, I think I've managed it. I also liked the idea of giving her a pair of those sexy, tight fitting boots, but it didn't look right until I gave them some shading. Again, I'm not a 100% on them, but I'm still pretty happy with the result.

The format of this doll is more in keeping with my Another Code doll, and so it might be a techincal step backwards, but the funky body anatomy limited what I could really do with her, and I honestly don't think I could have included a whole lot more clothing options than I did. I also skipped over the eye blink, because her expression is already so cool, and I didn't want to detract from the original design. Despite being sexy, she's a very serious character, and in some of the screen shots I've seen of the game, she's actually screaming at you in a way that would be quite disconcerting to see in a real emergency room situation.
