At first I only wanted to draw the boy and his guitar but now I’ve ended up drawing also the surrounding quiet in detail because I think it fits the atmosphere very well.

Here is a short Making of Heino:

For the final piece of work I’ve also added some textures in the hope to make the scene more realistic.

She looks a little too much like a Barbie I think now but it’s still ok I hope

This year was much snow where I live so it was fitting my mood too.

I’ve added a smaller amount of clothing then usual because it was double the work to do two dolls. But I’ve made the menu a little bit more complex this time too. The dolls both are looking to the user at the beginning of the game but at the end they both turn their eyes to each other and look rosy-cheeked.

You can play it on my “PinkBunnyLilli – Dress Up Games and more” website: Lisas Winter Date

So I’ve started to make some more games of that kind and put it online on my own web address called: www.pinkbunnylilli.de.

Most of my Dress Up Games I draw in Photoshop. I also tried to draw them directly in Flash but … well … it’s always a tiring challenge for me. I think the first try in 2007 with the game “Style Up Loona” went the best. It was also copied to some Arab forums. Although I couldn’t read the language in that forums I saw that there were many screenshots uploaded and that made me proud

In 2008 I’ve made a very personal doll with the game “Dress Up Me“. I’ve included some of my own clothes and even my dog. Then I’ve created the game “Style Up Susan“. It is meant to bring the user the impression that he “colors the girl with crayons” instead of the normal “put on clothes”. And finally, for Christmas, I came up with the idea of letting the visitors of my website win some prices. Therefore Ubisoft sponsored me 10 Nintendo DS games and I’ve created the game “Dress her up for Christmas Market“. My visitors then should send me screenshots of the doll they’ve created with my game. It went very well and I hope the winners were happy with their prices.

In 2009 I’ve created 7 more games to different topics. One was even for my university studies, you can find a whole article about it here. For Halloween I’ve created a game where one can choose between a little girl or a little boy who gets dressed up. It’s called “Funny Halloween” and I put a little bit more effort into the menu functions then usual.

Here are all my Dress Up Games of the last years:

Here are some pictures of the game:

In the menu you will find the card game in the middle, surrounded by the girl and boy which you can dress up later. The piano button can stop the music. (After some time the music gets annoying but, somehow, it suits the theme very well.) And the story book will tell you the story behind this little game. (About the queen and her date with Jack.) You can even click the spotlights off and on.

This is the gambling table. You can start every single round with the bell on the left. Then you need to take some cards until you like to stop. (So before the number of 21, as the game is related to black jack.) There always comes a little animation, telling you whether you win or you lose. The wins and defeats are also displayed on the upper part of the screen. You can read the rules and change the design of the desk and cards back here.

After you have won 2 times, the changing room for the boy, called Jack, will appear. Here you can try out different outfits, including hats and swords. You can also change his hairstyle and hair color. Only the skin color is a little bit small in variety. 

The same with the queen. You will have the choice between 5 different dresses and accessories. You can add one of 7 different flowers, 3 hair flowers a crown and a veil. Furthermore there are 3 different hairstyles and colors. If you click on the lipstick, you can even change her face. (But they are not really “good looking” anyway. ^^”) This changing room will be available after 4 wins.

After some more card game wins, there will be a final scene shown to you. Depending on your chosen outfits, there are 3 different options, how the queen will react on Jack. The Queen will sniff on her flower, look at Jack and: 1) dropping the flower while turning around and leave the scene, 2) go through Jack but leave the scene on the other side or 3) go to Jack and kiss him. Furthermore there are different surroundings depending on the Queens Dress. If you did not reach the final 100 points, there will be help shown, on what you could try to reach a better ending.

It’s the biggest dress up game I’ve done so far. You can play it on my “PinkBunnyLilli – Dress Up Games and more” website: Dress Up 17 and 4

After I finished the picture like it was on the photography, I thought that it was looking like the two
boys are watching something on the water. First I tried some spacy alien something but after some
other bad ideas the gold fish came into my mind. I like goldfishes because I had 2 of them when I was
very little (about 3 years old).

I think the picture finally turned out quiet nice.

Alexander Rybak was one of the first I draw. I used a picture from a Norwegian talk-show interview as a basis. I don’t know whether I really captured his smiling.

finished: 17 May 2009

As I was coming into the mood to draw portraits, I searched for a nice picture in the big collection of deviantart. I found a great black and white photography of a young woman and draw the following picture.

finished: 27 May 2009

And this drawing was made after a picture we took at the prom of those two girls.
I liked the light atmosphere of the background and tried to include it also in my picture.

finished: 7 September 2009

I’m sure there will be more portraits following soon …

I must say that I liked the “old” trades in Leipzig better, but maybe only because this was the first time I visited the “exclusive day for industry professionals and the press“. The good point on that day was, that there were not as many people as usual and I really came to play and test every game I wanted. On the bad side, some parts of the event were not finally build up and some stage shows did not take place. The worst point was, that even the most food stands did not open up and I ended in a long queue at one of the only food shops open.

As this was the day for the press, many cameras and people with microphones were walking by. As I were sitting down at a game, they were even coming to me, position a camera in front of me and asking, weather I would answer a question for their show about woman and computer games. But I got a scare and refused to answer their question 

The next 2 days I visited Cologne and the Cathedral (sooo many steps). I even walked a little in the Rhine. As this was one of the hottest days for this year in Germany, I even wanted to swim between the big cargo ships but I was missing my swim suit.

I hope to visit Cologne ones again. It is a great city!

I’m using an iMac and a Wacom Intuos4 tablet. The mouse is an “old” Logitech one from my friend.
Also the printer is an old one from Hewlett-Packard.

Very important are also: my Sony Ericsson handy, for making snap-shots on the go,
my iPod for its calender function and my non-digital notepad for scribbling new ideas.

Moreover I’m drinking peppermint tea. And on my leather chair lies a yoga pillow. 

I wanted to create this new design for about half a year, but I always shifted it ^^”. As I now like to create pages with Wordpress, I also decided to take Wordpress and this theme to create the new gaming platform. Not only I changed the design, but also the structure, as I no longer want to use this page as a portfolio too. I will create a new portfolio in the next weeks, hopefully it will get a little bit more serious!

I also redesigned the structure of the page, to make it easier for me to present new games and to include other pages and gaming platforms too. So I can show the viewers which other sites I like to use. Furthermore I have started an “other cute stuff” category for various stuff. I’m thinking about some horoscopes and some tips on yoga maybe we will see …

I hope the new design will still keep the visitors come back. It was very hard to make it at least half way acceptable for the IE 6. If you find any problems with the new design, please tell me!
