Sorry about boring photos; he's currently very loosely strung and very frustrating to pose. Well, I think Iplehouse's EID guys are always like that xP I've ordered some 5mm rubber string and silicone baking sheet so I could re-string and suede him hardcore. Yes, stuff like this. I thought to cut some strips and hotglue them in his largest joints, as his joints are pretty bad.
And when it's done, I think he needs a new faceup, the old one is getting worn out. I thought I could at least try it myself - I suck at making fine thin lines, but I think he might get away without them. He'll be quite the project, but I'm not giving up on him easily!
Honestly I've thought of selling him many times, but there's just something in his gentle eyes which no other sculpt seem to have. And his tan colour is just right, so I'm willing to try to fix his issues :)
Adriel is very beautiful! <3
ReplyDeleteThat joint fixing sounds interesting, best wishes with it. And faceup too!
Thank you! I hope it helps, right now he finds even sitting a challenge ^^; xD
DeleteAt least try your best with him before selling him! He is a lovely sculpt, one of my favorite ones from IH~ and his skintone is soooo gorgeous! I adore his single-lidded eyes!
ReplyDeleteAaaa, THAT's what it is :D I've been pondering what's that his face has unlike other sculpts and yes - single lids of course xD <3 But they're awesome, I don't think there are many sculpts with them.
DeleteThank you, I will! <3
Ah Bichun! He's one of my favourite sculpts from Iplehouse and he is looking pretty amazing in these photos. I am always in awe of people with Iplehouse dolls to be honest. My friend used to have an EID guy a few years ago and I was lucky enough to see one in person. Those dolls are huge and a bit overwhelming for me but boy do they have some lovely sculpts in that size.
ReplyDeleteThank you! He is my favourite of Iple's big boys as well :3 (And he fits his character so well!). I've handled just EID boys, and boy are they handful, but their face sculpts are nice and have lots of character <3
DeleteAdriel on kyllä niin komia, yhtä komia ja yhtä hankala liikutella varmaan kuin mitä itse sitä silloin joskus kokeilin. Toivottavasti tommonen hardcore suedaaminen sillä silikonilevyllä ja paksummat narut auttaa asiaan. Mukava stailaus tuossa peruukissa, tuommosta osittaista nutturatyyliä on miehillä näkynyt enempikin telkkarissa ja lehdissä. Pukee sitä hyvin. :)
ReplyDeleteKiitos, miesnutturat on pop :D Ja joo, tommoinen jötkälehän se on, nyt tietty ekstrahankala kun narut löystyneet ja palaset vaan pyörii koloissaan....yritetään vielä kovemmilla aseilla. Lähinnä tahtoisin saada ton peppunivelen toimimaan että raasu voisi istua xD
DeleteIt is nice you see you are trying everything instead directly selling him!
ReplyDeleteI will also recommend you to use thicker elastics, besides the hot glue and rubber band. You could also try wiring?
The wig looks very nice on him, I hope you can bond with him!
Thank you! I may have to go with wiring if nothing helps :D That body isn't just very well engineered and as it's so heavy, it's bit challenging :/ But I'll try my best! ^^
DeleteKomea Adriel ja hiusnuttura sopii hänelle ihan mukavasti! Se on aina hankalaa kun nukeista tulee lötköt olennot. Loppujen lopuksi he voivat vain lojua suorana ;D Tiedän että minun vanhin nukke kyllä toivoo uusia narua...hiki tulee vain ajatellessaan! No, toivottavasti ihastut häneen uudestaan!
ReplyDeleteKiitos! Minullakin nuket usein on tosi lötköjä lopuksi kun en tykkää tuosta narujen vaihtamisesta yhtään :D Mutta pakkohan se on joskus tehdä :P
DeleteHe ooks super cool!! and I love men with buns :D
ReplyDeleteThank you! I really love manbuns too, probably the only current trend which I like, haha :D
