PROTO-NON-DOLL

As you can see I have posted the original drawing of Non-Doll (all detailed and wood-cut looking) but yesterday as I broke down into deep-cleaning my room I was suddenly curious if I still had the original sketch of Non-Doll. It would have to be in my HIST2710 notebook where I had first been driven to draw him for the sake of staying awake during class. So I sought out a stack of all my notes from last semester and guess what--I FOUND HIM! Guess what else--HE WAS UGLY. I didn't remember making him so hyena-like in proportions, so grotesque in his stitching, and I certainly don't remember giving him little fuzzy hair. Instead of one striped leg he had a patch starting down at his ankle that looked more like a boot. His stitches basically dissected him across the chest. His head is more spherical and above him I had scribbled out the words, "Play with me?" which sounds creepy when you see his deranged little smile. Sort of like if Frankenstein's monster asked you to play hide and seek in a graveyard. I guess his original personality was more of a depressed and disturbed toy who never got played with. This proto-Non-Doll certainly wasn't a work of art. I am a little tempted to post it, just to get a reaction, but he clashes horribly with the style and composition of the blog. I'll save that for later.
