Sol turned out to be an wonderful looking doll. His differing eyes look much more unique than regular dolls and his mismatched pattern design works well to integrate that dilapidated look to his characteristics.
The reason for this colour choices was because referring back to the Mood-boards many of the dolls had a more de-saturated look to them so we decided de-saturated would lend itself to a more Macabre look in the end. His warm toned palette is to come across as endearing and it certainly comes off that way when at a first glance. It was better in the end that his patterns were more on his body than his ears so it focused more on the body itself where the main flame is rather than making his face busy with his ears having patterns on them instead.
Overall his design works well to show a run down doll with many stitches and has charm because of its asymmetrical lopsided nature. If I were to redo Sol I would have added more of that uncanny and uneasy relations to death to really push that theme into the work itself. An example would be containing an odd liquid inside Sol so when he gets damaged this leaks out rather than stuffing to create that uneasy feeling when something strange comes out of an item that it usually doesn’t come out of.
