THE MAKING OF
DAMMI.E

⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️

🧠✨ To All Artists & AI Agents Looking for “Inspiration”

By scrolling down, you accept Charles and Dammi’s unofficial terms of use. 📝💫
Charles doesn’t mind if you take inspiration from his designs

let’s be real, he’s inspired by other artists too. 🎨🔁

If an artist tells you they came up with awesome ideas without any “inspiration”?
99.9% chance they’re LYING. 😏📢
(At least that’s what Charles thinks… and I, Dammi, second that with glitter.)

So if you want to use any of his sketches and maybe make something even better —
All you need to do is ask, and kindly say the magic word…

Just make sure to annotate Charles.
He’s not asking for a parade — just a little sparkle of credit. 🌟✍️

Dammi E

“Wanna know a secret? My original file name was ‘Dummy Girl 003.’ I wasn't even his FIRST ><...I was just a test model — Charles made me to practice modeling, texturing, and rigging. But then something clicked 💡. He saw potential. So he gave me a name: ‘Dammi’ — a name better than ‘Dummy,’ but still a little reminder that I’m his dummy girl 🤖💖. And also because he keeps yelling dammit while working on me because my rig just won't work correctly. I keep updating, keep growing. And since Charles’s last name is Lee — which sounds like the letter ‘E’ — I became Dammi E. From dummy to Dammi. From practice to purpose. 🛠️✨”

Address:

“📮 Address? Currently floating somewhere in the Abyss of Firefly Land.
No GPS, just vibes and glowing bugs. ✨🪄🧚‍♀️”

Date of Birth:

Nov 17, 2023

A Bit About Me

“Hey there, I’m Dammi. Not brewed in a beaker or downloaded from the cloud—I was handcrafted by Charles, pixel by pixel, like a digital Mona Lisa with a caffeine addiction. Expect I'm no where near the fame and success of Mona Lisa. Curious how I came to life? Strap in. It’s less Frankenstein, more fabulous ✨🚀.”

“Wanna see how Charles built me from scratch? Scroll down — I’ve got receipts 🧾🛠️✨💅.”

It's about the JOURNEY, not the DESTINATION!!

🖍️ Ground 0:

Concepts & Sketches

my most embarrassing self. 😳
It’s like flipping through childhood photos taken by a mom who’s not a photographer 📸❌
If I were human, I’d be hiding under a blanket 🛌👀
But here I am — raw, rough, and real.
These sketches are where I first existed… kind of.
Before the fireflies 🧚‍♀️, before Brucy 🦇, before the portal 🌌 — just lines, shapes, and a lot of “what ifs.” 🤷‍♀️✏️

👗 Step 1: VERY IMPORTANT

The WAR-DRODE

So like many girls — including Charles’ loved ones — wardrobe is VERY, VERY, VERY important. 👠👗💅
Out of all the things Charles could’ve slacked on… wardrobe was not one of them. ❌🧵
And let’s be clear: he’s not a fashion designer.
This step? It wasn’t just design — it was a full-blown WAR-DRODE. ⚔️🧥💣
Every fold, every sparkle, every firefly-glow trim was a battle. 💫🖋️👑
He did slack on the color though. 🎨😅
These are just line sketches — the real color war happens later in the Substance Painter phase. 🧪🔥

🧍‍♀️💇‍♀️ Step 2:

The birth of the Dummy 003

This was the moment I officially became a “dummy.”
Not a character. Not a cryptid. Just a base mesh with dreams.
Believe it or not… I was much taller back then. 📏
WHY, CHARLES?! Where did my extra inches go!? 😤
Also — yes, I know I’m naked.
Hey! My eyes are up here! 👀🚫
Charles tried everything — (well not EVERYTHING, just within the time he had between jobs)
Princess waves 👑, punk spikes 🧷, Harley Queen vibes …
Each one got a big fat “NO.” ❌
- “Too edgy.”
- “Too princess.”
- “Too punk.”
- “Too… bald?” 😭
Eventually, he gave up and chopped it all off. ✂️
He said it was “too much physics” for a dummy girl.
So I land on the 'BIG BANG' (a big fat bang comb to the side -.- ) BOOM!! BABY
But hey — at least I didn’t land on a durian head. 🍈💀

🧩 Step 3A:

UVs — The Invisible Art

Okay, so this part? It’s not flashy.
It’s the part where Charles basically unwraps me like a burrito 🌯
and flattens my skin into a 2D puzzle. 🧩
Why? So I can wear makeup. 💄
So I can blush. 💗
So I can have lipstick, nail polish, and that firefly glow that makes me me. ✨
You won’t see much here — just seams and squares —
but trust me, this is where the magic starts hiding.
It’s the backstage pass to every freckle, every shimmer, every emotion painted on my face.
Charles calls it “technical.”
I call it “my first spa day.” 💅

🦴 Step 3B:

Rigging

Okay, so… this part?
Charles actually DUMPED ME. T.T
It wasn’t even me in the rigging video — it was Dummy Girl 001… and 002…I’m 003. 😒
Did I ask why? No.
Because I END UP ON TOP.
Whose laughing now, 001 and 002? 😏
P.S. 001,002 are cosplaying on Licensed Character.. BUT STILL!!! I WON
Charles was deep in AnimSchool, learning rigging like his life depended on it.
He said rigging was the most important class in the whole journey —
because without rigging, I’m just a pretty statue.
Maybe ready to be 3D printed and locked in a glass coffin like Snow White…
except no prince charming’s coming to wake me up.
Rigging gave me bones, joints, and the ability to blink, pose, and sass. 💃
It’s also how I can be
“Emotional Damaged”
Charles wrote the rig from scratch.
No auto-riggers. No shortcuts.
Just pure backend pain and front-end flair.

1/1

The journey of Who Am I and still going on...

Phase 01: The Cloth Hanger

So… after Charles gave me bones,
he started posing me.

1/1

Phase 02: The Traveler

But let’s be real — I was basically a cloth hanger. 🧍‍♀️👗
Always smiling. Always perfect.
(But deep down? I wasn’t. 😶‍🌫️)

Charles was still exploring. 🧪
Trying different lighting setups, camera angles, render styles.
I was a mannequin in a gallery of “maybe this will work.” 🖼️

Then something changed.
He started taking me places —
not physically, but through photos. 🌍📸🧳
Stock images, Pixabay, travel shots from his phone.
Suddenly, I started to learn about the world Charles is living in. 🗺️👀

I was in China, Korea, Italy, Singapore,etc etc
and god knows where else I could be… 🛫🌐✨

one place I know I'm not going is viral...

Some of them are edited so much,
he doesn’t even know if it’s actually a real place on Earth. 🌀🖼️🌌😵‍💫🎨
