She is a Barbie Fashion Fever headsculpt that was shown to me by my friend Corsetkitten about 5 years ago. I never thought she needed anything, just the factory paint apps and overall composition of the head made me fall in love with her.
Though recently I have realized one major problem with her... that her cute yet cartoony looks didn't allow her to be used alongside many other types of dolls with the exception of those of similar style. So I was limited to using my favorite character in photostories that I want to do because of a limited cast that would fit in with her.
So I set out to look for a headsculpt that could work for a "non cartoony" version of Gillian. I needed a head with the same color hair and a similar facial structure. I could easily paint the rest to match.
I recently found that head in the TTL Assassin Girl figure:
So, having my base head found, I simply repainted the eyes brown to match the original Gillian, and of course gave her freckles...
The two Gillians...
This restyle is by no means an abandonment of the the original Gillian, simple allowing me to use my favorite girl in some adventures with a bigger cast. I still have plenty of plans for the classic Gillian.
Stay Tuned & Enjoy,
