About Hyde : Hyde comes off as being very suave and well mannered. He’s incredibly smart and well educated and usually is a total gentleman but he’s also cold, dominating and ruthless when he wants something. He's prone to violent outbursts. He’s also a vampire so a lot of people end up dead if there on the wrong side of Hydes famous temper. One of the effects of being a vampire as old and powerful as Hyde means that he tends to have a hypnotic effect on people. Because of this he usually gets what he wants and people tend to swoon over him and want to be around him even if he doesn’t give them the time of day. Hydes name is really not Hyde. His full real name is unknown but he says it’s very long and hard to pronounce so he goes simply by Hyde. Hydes is also known for his gorgeous voice.

Background story: Not much is known about Hyde's past. People believe he’s from a very old, very rich family but he’s actually a vampire that’s been around for hundreds of years.

Tasha's comments: With the way Hyde is sort of the central character to many of the story lines I’ve got going on with my dolls you’d think he was my favorite doll. He's not, though I definitely like him! Hyde, like Aiden, was one of the first characters I used to draw. He had a different name back then but the personality was the same. It took me many repaints and a lot of facial modifications to make Hyde look how Hyde in my mind looked. Hyde had a very strong image in my mind his doll form had to live up to but I think he finaly looks as he should. I actually have troubles photographing him as arrogant looking as he looks in real life

Past versions

(from oldest to most current)

This is how Hyde came to me from Volks. I knew Id be repainting him but since FCS dolls can come with make up I asked them to paint him like Captin Cecil. Lets just be thankful that Volks does better on there FCS dolls make up request now eh?

______

Hydes Volks make up stayed on his face for about 30 mins before I whiped him off and painted him like this. I kinda liked him like this but he wasnt elegant enough to be Hyde.

________

I resculpted Hydes lips so he wouldnt be as smiley here. He still wasnt quite Hyde to me tho

________

I tryed a solid lip color on Hyde here. Wasnt workin.

__________

I liked Hyde like this but he was far too sad and sweet looking.

______

I knew I was getting close to Hydes look with this but there was still something missing.

______

Apparently all I had to do was add some eyemake up to Hyde to be happy with him I havent been able to photograph him properly yet but IRL he looks very arrogant and Hyde-ish. Yay!

_______

While I liked Hydes last repait I wanted to do him neater. I ended up painting him more arrogant and artisocratic looking which was good but he ended up more feminine. I really like him but I'll probably do him a little less fem next time.
