A warrior with a half-bun

The boys' photos continue! This time I took out Adriel (Iplehouse Bichun) whose new wig came in the mail. It's a cheap Chinese one - actually I want him an alpaca wig with a sidecut, but I probably should make it myself and that might take a while xD; So now he has at least something that fits his character:

Halfbun 4

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 :)

You're mine.

Mismatched, perfect

Gently

"Let me fix your hair."

You're mine.

I visited my friend Illves today to take a small shoot of our two big BJD boys - now that they are finally in the same space xD The poses are nothing grand as they're not very easy to pose, at least my Iplehouse boy :B But I kinda like how secretive, tender and private the photos turned out. Characterwise they tend to keep a low profile about their relationship - it's something just for them two. Their relationship is quite stormy and emotional, but yet perfect. My own personal favourite couple!

Adriel is my Iplehouse Bichun in tan skin.
Jericho is a Switch / Granado hybrid.

Lots of love for these boys <3

10 facts: Meital

Featherhead

I've seen this meme around, and it seems fun, so I thought to write about some of my dolls. The idea is basically to tell ten facts about your doll. I decided to start with Meital, my Little Monica Sophia.

1) The very first version of "Meital" was Orientdoll So Ji. Truth to be told, she had nothing else in common with current Meital except her name and blonde hair colour.

2) I re-bought Meital as a SD-sized doll later. Her first versions were all three different versions of Musedoll Ciel with Fantasydoll / Dollfie Dream body. I still have a warm spot for Ciel, but she was Meital for me too long that I could see anything else in that sculpt.

3) Currently Meital is nDoll Aiko, who later turned into Little Monica Sophia.

4) I really liked Little Monica's Innocent Sophia and considered a purchase. I decided to use the money to fund other projects, though, since that head would have become just Meital's extra head.

5) I have a small obsession of having the prettiest SD-sized girl doll I know as Meital, since she's my princess. So far Sophia has taken the cake, but if something even prettier came along, I could grab it.

6) One of the big reasons I decided to buy Sophia / then Aiko was also that I was afraid of staining her vinyl body (Dollfie Dream). Resin's much safer!

7) Meital's character has developed a lot, too. When I first got her, she was supposed to be ethereal, old, beautiful and wise. She's still beautiful, but those other things...no, she's definitely not wise xP But she has a different kind of wisdom which comes from true innocence and kindness.

8) Despite experiencing and witnessing difficult and cruel things, the best part of Meital's character is that she truly remains innocent and believes that the world is a good place. I always think that she's an angel because Father, her god, protects her gentle, childlike heart.

9) I wish I could lie that there is a huge, deep story behind my angels, my lifelong achievement or something really epic. But the truth is that I just got the idea from watching Haibane Renmei, because I liked their wings and haloes xP If I could start over, I might create something more dreamlike and less, uh, Christian-themed. But it's too late now, so Meital shall be a traditional angel until the rest of her days.

10) Meital is probably the one who has most relationships around. Let's see, she has:

  • Brothers, Niko and Lochesh.
  • Mother, Hecate. 
  • Spouse, Uncle K
  • Niece, Apsu.
  • Pet pigeon / letter carrier, Hildegard
  • Some kind of pet, Kiki.

Where the wild things are

I dragged (almost literally, EIDs are heavy!) Adriel outside for a small photoshoot today. Grahhh, EIDs and forest photography...luckily he's much stiffer these days as I've changed his rubberbands and tightened them too. But I still didn't enjoy it :P

Ironically I think he looks best without a shirt and his hair loose. Sorry, sweetcheeks ;3 He has some new bodywork done by my mate Illves, scarring, blushing and one supercool "tattoo" of an elk skull. That girls knows her scars!

The beginning of autumn

Aegis-love!

Oh, it's September. Goodbye, summer, it's time for my favourite season. Loving all the crispy colours and the fresh smells <3

In the dolly front, little revamps here and there. Aegis recieved a new faceup from one of my eternal faves, Jesmo, and is looking almost too cute. He matches very well with his sister now, I should continue their story once my second set of MSD twins arrive. Speaking of them, I should get the first one home soon and just paid the second one. Thank you, Soom, or curse you...

Along with re-vamped Aegis, I got my big man home as well. He has some scarwork done and is looking so fabulous now *3* I should get my hands dirty and him restrung so I could take photos...
