Riddick Munin

Face-up artist(s):

Dollzone

Date of acquisition:

12-15-2008

Provenance:

Secondhand from the DoA Marketplace

Reason for choice:

I was saving up for a Minifee, but saw this guy on the marketplace. I watched him for a couple weeks, and when others started asking about him, I found myself up at 2am rolling change to see if I could afford him. He came home a week later.

Best Points:

That smirk! Also love the hands, some of the single jointed DZ bodies doesn't have graceful ones like these. Stands like a rock, and always has. I did suede and wire him - good practice when I was a new doll owner. He poses quite well for a single jointed doll, and has tons of personality. He also has the old "S-hook attaches to the headcap" method of head attachment, which I actually like. Helps with head posing, IMO, and no matter what, his headcap is not flying across the room if he falls.

Worst Points:

I'm having a hard time thinking of a bad point. I have several dolls on this same body now, so I obviously like it! Maybe the feet aren't cute? But most feet aren't...

Eyes:

brown Dollshe urethanes

Wig:

a black and blonde faux fur - cheap from eBay

Favourite colours:

black, bronze, gold, brown

Fashion style(s):

He's kind of steampunk-lite. A working type of steampunk, not dressed up all fancy. That stuff gets in the way when you're on a motorcycle or climbing the rigging of the airship.

Key fashion accessory:

Goggles, and his leather pants. And he's had those wings on quite a while now.

His leather pants are actually from his fullset, and his amazing black shirt is from Brennil/Her Delicate Strength. The goggles and wings I made. His bronzey boots were bought at DragonCon a few years ago!

Name story:

I wasn't sure what his name was. I didn't like "Riddick" that much, but it stuck, and now I can't imagine calling him anything else.

Character age:

22

Character gender:

male

Offsite roleplay:

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

Riddick grew up on an isolated island, with just his wealthy parents, younger sister, and their household staff. His parents were excitedly preparing him to join the society season in London, marry well, and eventually take over the family business. He had other plans.
He ended up a down-on-his-luck adventurer, a lone treasure-hunter, but found a new family of sorts when he ended up competing with a motley airship crew in search of a lost treasure.
