Slay The Princess

Slay the Princess is an indie horror story game that is almost entirely in black and white. It’s a very beautiful and dark game that’s almost entirely in black and white.

I wanted to create something based off of the game, but I wanted to do it in a way that challenged myself. I patterned out over 50 dolls and fabricated them. I sewed, flipped, and stuffed each doll by hand and then hand stitched the hair into each doll.

I also wanted to play with different kinds of dolls so I purchased dolls from the dollar tree, removed the hair from the heads and spray painted all of them white. I used a heated up leatherworking needle to then pull the white yarn through the heads for the hair.

Another challenge I had to overcome was having multiple sets of arms. I made a cast of my arms with masking tape, reinforced it with pool noodles, and used mannequin hands for the hands. I used white sleeves to cover the arms and hand sewed them directly onto the dress. I attached clear fishing line to the gloves on the body suit and connected it to each set of hands so the extra hands moved when my hands did.
