Still Doll

elisa_maza finished Doll yesterday and though I’m still waiting on proper clothes (a black yukata with a goldfish print) and a proper wig (black, long, and straight), I wanted to do a preview shot of him.

This one really doesn’t do justice to his beautiful faceup, but that will come in good time when his look is complete. (Hopefully this week, since after mid- next week I’ll be on vacation and out of the country.)

I apologize if Doll kinda creeps some of you out. He’s such a sweet, soft-spoken character who only wants to please people. When he’s not in a near-vegetative state. I’m really happy with how he’s turned out so far, and I can’t wait to take more photos of him.

 

A post without ball joints!

Amazing – a post that is not about, and does not contain pictures of BJD! Just goes to show that I do sometimes do other things with my time.

Firstly, elisa_maza enabled me into buying these cute Lalaloopsy dolls. They’re so sweet, and lolita-y, that my resistance lasted all of about 90 seconds once she turned her enabling powers on. They apparently have a TV show, but I have about zero desire to watch it. Monster high is enough pre-teen energy in my life to last me a while.

Secondly;

I am an admitted tea junkie. This is my collection as of this morning. My favorites change a bit, but the constant companions are definitely the jasmine black, the altinbaş black (in the tall clear jar), oolong, the organic mystic mint, and the japanese sencha green. As the saying goes, “Money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy tea, which is practically the same thing.”

Finally, if anyone is interested in flickr, you can find me here, as Sihir.

Veil Eyes

I tried a pair of Angeltoast’s blue eyes in Ecks and I am really happy with the way they look. He looks more like the shaman he is supposed to be.

And James is just crazy.
“The finest of the human race
Are bad in figure, worse in face.
Yet just because they have two legs
And come from storks instead of eggs
They count the spacious firmament
As something to be charged and sent.”

Post Script

Took two more this evening.

Romy in the sunset light. She is wearing this super cute casual outfit (that you can’t see) that consists of white skinny jeans and a white belt, and a black shirt handmade by Angeltoast. I’m going to have to find something similar for her because I adore the way she looks in it. When I first got into the hobby, I never thought I’d like a girl doll so much, but I’m really liking having her in my collection.

This one is mostly a joke. Lazlo generally has black hair in this style, but Angeltoast (who has been living with me for almost a week now) had a blonde one I wanted to try on him. This picture is completely for the lolz and to prove that it did happen. Strangely I think he looks great in the wig, but it’s just not his personality, so I changed it back after a day or two.

Love my resin <3

Odds and Ends

Took a few quick photos today and found a few on my camera that I didn’t like at the time. They look passable to me these days, so I’m posting them.

Finally got Doll a body – traded my wifu Angeltoast for one of her older Soom bodies that is the perfect height for him, so hopefully in a few weeks he’ll have a faceup, wig, and clothes. Stay tuned for his brand of cute that is rather sad.

Portraits of the girl

Played around with some basic portraits of Romy today indoors. She’s so pretty that it’s hard to wait until a proper outfits comes in to take more pictures that are not so repetitive.

 

These are a little more processed than before…my camera didn’t much favor the indoor afternoon light.

A long, long walk.

Romy is here! And she is gorgeous. I was a little worried how I would feel about my first girl – my 5 other dolls are all boys and in addition she belongs to a different storyline and world than all my other dolls, so I was worried I would feel that she wouldn’t fit in. But I shouldn’t have worried…as soon as I opened the box, before I even got her wig on or eyes put in I knew that she was gorgeous and most definitely a keeper.

It feels so hard to find clothes for her though, especially pants! I never realized how skirt-dominated the SD girl clothes market is until recently. Romy lives in a world where I don’t imagine jeans being common, but at the same time she is a falconer by trade and currently living off her wits in the wilderness, so she absolutely won’t be wearing skirts. (Though I’ll admit the temptation is pretty great to put her in something cute.)

It seems like I say this every time, but I WAS going to take more pictures of her, BUT she faceplanted in the damp ground and now she has a mud stain above her lip :/ I attacked it with a Mr. Clean sponge but it’s a tough one. Sigh.
