Carlisle

Provenance:

Ordered directly from Resinsoul

Reason for choice:

I have a soft spot for Satyrs

Best Points:

Even colour, neat seams, very sturdy construction

Worst Points:

Very small air bubbles in one knee/one elbow (un-noticeable when joints are straight)

I never would have found this doll without Monkfish's blogspot so it's only fair I link it here. The pictures on the Resinsoul site don't do their dolls justice!
Resinsoul were very easy to communicate with- I knew from the blog post that they were open to customisation tweaks and asked if they could do me a darker tone of grey, as well as some jointed hands in the same colour. Not only did they agree, but they sent a free pair of horns as well! I was debating horns whilst I was ordering but decided against it due to funds, so this was an incredible surprise.
He was wrapped securely, had a pillow and a leather carry case, and arrived completely intact.

He can stand by himself, but his posing is quite finnicky due to tight stringing. I could solve this myself but I've never restrung a doll before so I'm quite nervous. The hands were easy to swap over, and the magnets in his horns are strong enough to clamp securely through a mohair wig

Wig:

BJD Fashion World on Etsy

Favourite colours:

Pink

Fashion style(s):

Disaster and tie-dye

He's still finding his style- I'd like to think he's living a perpetual 'Inuyasha stuck in the modern world' episode where he's just trying to fit in as a human despite obviously not being one

Name story:

I wanted a name that linked to our family in Cumbria, and after trialling a few names of towns and lakes, I settled on 'Carlisle' (which should have been obvious having read Twilight at least once in my life)

Offsite roleplay:

This doll's character is not available for offsite roleplay.

When he first arrived I had Carlisle pegged as a diva satyr, but as time went on and Critical Role continued, I really liked Taliesin's tea-drinking chilled-out firbolg Caduceus and incorporated more of that energy into him. He's now settling into himself as a fey creature, a gentle soul who looks after his found family
