Housewife dollz

Real Housewives reunion looks as Y2K pixel dollz. Eighteen housewives and Andy Cohen, each in a look she actually wore, at her real height, with the accessory from the photo.

All eighteen housewife dollz on a pixel reunion set in two rows. NeNe stands in the center of the front row in a blue Grecian gown, LuAnn stands behind her, and Andy Cohen hosts from the right end in a blue suit.
The homepage pick: NeNe front and center, LuAnn behind her, Andy hosting from the right.

What these are

I made these as placeholders for the homepage of Not a Friend Of, my Real Housewives tagline site. They start as gown and head sprites from EasyDoll, the old dollmaker site, and get edited pixel by pixel until they match a real reunion look.

Every choice traces back to something real: the reunion photo, the designer, the accessory she wore, her height. Andy wears his David Hart suit. Fun on the surface, sourced underneath.

The EasyDoll pieces aren't mine, so this site shows only finished dollz, accessories drawn from scratch, and diagrams. My own drawings replace the EasyDoll pieces over time.

How a doll gets built

Every doll has a build script that rebuilds her exactly. Each step below has its own section with the real code.

  1. The piecesOne gown sprite, one head sprite, one build script.
  2. Skin rampsEight colors, swapped as a set.
  3. The neck joinFind the chin, find the neck, overlap two rows.
  4. Painting gownsRules for the cloth, stamps for the details.
  5. Original accessoriesEarrings and cuffs drawn from scratch, a few pixels each.
  6. Layers and the flatten checkA layered Aseprite file that has to match to the pixel.
  7. Height2 px per inch around Lisa Vanderpump's 5'5".
  8. Group shotsPack dolls by their outlines, then lengthen the couch.

The cast

Every doll is shown at exactly 3x and stands on the same floor, so heights compare across a row. Wide gowns get cropped at the card edge instead of shrunk. The height grade says how good the source is, and the sources page explains every one.
