Templates
Hey, to those of you who are just beginning in KiSS: I feel for ya.  I know it's tough to get started, and that the base doll can sometimes be the most problematic part.  So here I have some templates for you to use, free of charge (duh), all ya gotta do is give me credit in your file!  You can either put my name and a website link in your readme, or you can make a title cel and add it there.  I would like a site link, though, so others can come get these templates.  I've given them names, but that's just for the sake of this page, you can call her whatever you want.  You can even take off her hair and draw a different style (or styles), and color her the way you want if you don't like the colors (if any) I put on her.  And just because it's Anthy (for example) doesn't mean your doll has to be of her, you could make it whatever you want.
 

Base dolls
Iris: I named her this because she's my preliminary sketchie thing for my drawing of the Greek goddess of the rainbow, Iris.  Inspired by Emby Quinn's doll Bosuteia, and the description of Iris came from Firefly by Piers Anthony.  Her hair is a little intrusive, as it covers up her shoulder, but if you want to separate it from her body and draw a shoulder you'll have to do that yourself.  Sorry, but I'm making you work a teeny bit. ^.^
Mai-chan: Well, I don't like her very much but maybe you can use her...she was the "preliminary sketchie thing" for another of my pictures, this time of some random girl named Mai.
Anshii: Or Anthy.  Or Anshi.  However the heck you spell her name, this is Himemiya (insert preferred spelling here) of Shoujo Kakumei Utena.  I was going to make a doll of her but I kinda gave up...she was too misshapen and I couldn't fix her, but maybe someone out there can.  If you want to make her as an Anshi doll you'll have to give her some more hair...I only made her movie hairstyle.  Oh well.  Enjoy her, remember, she is the Rose Bride and she'll do whatever you want. (doesn't that sound kinky?  I want a Rose Bride...)
Kotori-chan: I'm not sure if I like her so much...she's based on my cousin (Kotori is what I call her sometimes) who's 12, so I didn't really give her cleavage for that reason.  You can add it if you want to make her older, tho.  K-chan really did try to dye her hair blue like that once...
Lyra: Originally a fanart I did of Sailormars, which I edited and gave new hair.  Which explains the senshi-like pose.  I like this template a lot myself, it's not terribly disproportionate like I think some of my other ones are...I'd use it myself if it weren't, well, a template. ^-^
tiny doll: You know those little mini-dolls I have on the future page, sort of like anti-twinky dolls except...they're not?  This is the base doll I use for those, and I've decided to offer it up as a template in case you want to do a teeny tiny doll. ^-^ It can be a boy or a girl, whichever you want (I've used it for both)
Ayvah: Was going to be my base doll for Ginny, but I changed my mind (after I'd already drawn a whole screenful of clothes for her...^^;;;).  You'll see why when you see the doll.  She's a little too...erm, cleavagy?  Well, not that, but her chest is too big for her to be eleven or twelve (like the age I wanted to make Ginny in the doll).  So now she's a template, so I'll use another base for Ginny, when I do that.
Mahri: A character from one of my stories, this was traced from a picture I did of her.  I like this template a lot...was seriously considering using it myself, but I'll be generous and not use it. ^-^ (or it could just be that I have too many projects on my plate at the moment and couldn't take on a Mahri KiSS doll)
Lela: I drew this picture a loooong time ago, and I scanned the preliminary sketch into the computer to use as a template...yeah, last August. *sweatdrop* And I didn't get around to template-izing it until just now.  I think she looks slightly scary, but if you put the hair on her it softens up her face a bit so she doesn't look like she wants to eat you. O_o
Peri: Also traced off of a sketch, for a picture I haven't even finished yet. ^^;;; I think this is a pretty good one...maybe a little bit big, but pretty good.  I like her coloring a whole lot, too; the green and gold go well together.  She reminds me of Canal from Lost Universe.
 

Patterns
What are these?  Think of this as a KiSS fabric store, where you can come in and pick out the kind of fabric pattern for your doll to wear.  You download this, load it into your paint program, draw the outline of, say, a shirt, and then go to Flood Fill and Pattern and fill the shirt in with this pattern!  You can recolor them or lighten them as you see fit, but whatever you do with it, credit me in your set if you use it.  Preferably with a website link so other artists can get these too.  Now take a look at the "fabrics" and see if you'd like one of these for your doll...
roses: pink roses, white background.  This design is from Shoujo Kakumei Utena, BTW.
darker roses: What it says.  It's the above, but colorized a little, so it's red roses on a dark red background.
flowers: indigo background with a light purple flowery design, but if you want to color it differently you can, just use the replacer tool it's easier that way.
more flowers: I used these for Chifuri's Chinese dress, red background with gold flowery stuff.
plaid: Another pattern I used for Chifuri, this is white with blue plaid.
another plaid: The lines on this one are slightly closer together, and it's blue with white and green.
and yet another plaid: Same as the first one, but it's red.
lace: I know it looks ugly like this, but you're supposed to replace the green with your background color (to make it transparent) and the black with your foreground color if you want, or leave it black.  Or maybe make the green as white and non-transparent?  Whatever you want...
camouflage: First created for the Acacia set...you can color them different colors too, so they look like those blue and white cloudy camouflage things.
flowers: Yes, more.  This was modified from Chifuri's Chinese dress pattern, and colored blue and white so that it looks sort of like a vase
argyle: Or at least as close as I could approximate to argyle.  It looks kind of weird when it's tiled, but okay.
Chinese print: It's a little like Chifuri's one except I added the circley things.  They should be smaller...
stripes: Pink, red, white and yellow...it's very Tira, isn't it?
more stripes: This may look the same as the last one except in different colors...but IT'S NOT, I'M TELLING YOU!  Okay, anyway...
the return of plaid: bwahaha...the plaids shall take over the world!  Or something like that.  Anyway, this is kinda like the old plaids except a different color scheme...why do I keep making all these damn plaids?
batik print: Well, kind of.  It's a floweryish print and it's purple...I think it's pretty.  You may want to make it smaller so that you can see it on your doll's clothing better tho.
