Artist's Comments
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. |

92% percent of the teen population would be dead if Abercrombie and Fitch said it wasn't cool to breathe. Repost this if you are one of the 8% who would be laughing your ass off.
But this interactive color/clothing changing really rocks.

How can you smile so beautifully and still be so emotionless?

You bring up an interesting point, though, because it might be worthwhile for me to put together a tutorial of my own to show people how to create something like this. It's really not that painfully complex, since it uses some pretty uncomplicated Action Script and Movie Clip handling.
I don't know who familiar you are with Action Script, but what I do is make each item of clothing a seperate Movie Clip, and create global variables assigned to each one for Color and Toggle (on or off). If an item of clothing is toggled off, the Alpha for that Movie Clip is made to be 0 (in other words, invisible). Within the movie clip for each item of clothing, individual frames are assigned different colors, with the Color variable determining which frame is played.
I don't know if that thumbnail helps at all, but unless and until I make a tutorial of my own, that's about the best way I can describe the basic process of creating this kind of piece.

So, as an example of setting a global variable:
_global.SkirtColor = 1;
This lets you use the variabe both within the main timeline of your Flash document, as well as within the movie clip for Skirt (or any other movie clip, in fact). When using Action Script, I almost always use global variables, since it tends to be easier than keeping track of particular variables for the select instances in which they are used.
