5th Motif Discussion - part 5

Wow, he's incredible @Mxgann! He's so stylish!

 

Thank you!!

 

That’s so kind of you, thank you!! The venitu sculpt can really look good in anything, even without any clothing bwahahh.

 

Aw that’s so kind of you! He doesn’t normally wear these kinda clothing but I forced them on , bwhahaha.

 

OMG his so gorgeous! Is rarely to see pale tan skin venitu, please upload more his pic

 

A quick shot from a day out Pariah and I had together a couple of months back.

@Quiet and Insane - ohh so nice to see mr. Pariah i'm always drawn to his eyes

 

Aww thank you @Grimalkin! Here's a very quick photo I took at a local convention a few weeks ago. He was described as "intimidating" on more than occasion

@Quiet and Insane - i like this wig he's wearing a lot too, the colours suit him.
does he protest that he's "just serious" or "concentrating", or maybe smirks a little to himself when people call him intimidating?

 

@Grimalkin - Thank you! I commissioned the wig from Wixana's Doll House a few years ago. It's an incredible piece of art! Pariah definitely enjoys knowing people find him intimidating. He thinks it mean he can get away with anything and no one will challenge him.

 

@Quiet and Insane Pariah looks so great in both pictures

 

Thank you @Prinsessen! I'm glad you like him.

 

Man I miss my big boys. Developed arthritis in hands and in winter it's esp painful, but I should have kept at least one guy and just had him to spoil and look at. If you have a Venitu or a Goohwa hold on to them, they are very special.

 

I also have arthritis in my wrists but I’ll never let go of my Goohwa!

 

Cross-posting Carol here since I think I finally learned what do I need to do to make myself fall in love with him again.

He was the first doll I ever sent off to get a faceup not done by yours truly, and I have edited his artist faceup multiple times during the past 6 months. I think I finally figured out what does it lack and why doesn't he feel like "himself" (profile photo is my original faceup that he had before). It's the too light brows and eyes, and too light cheek freckles. I once told a friend that during my over 6 years of owning dolls, there is not a single thing that I regret selling. But, while looking at the recent photos I took of my Venitu, I realized I was wrong. I do regret selling his previous dark brown eyes! These catch light all too well.

I really need to learn how to edit photographs though. In my edits, the white wall can look anything from green to blue to orange...

 

I take photos on an Olympus camera and transfer to my iPad. I then use an app called top camera 2 to edit on my iPad. The only thing it doesn’t do is crop. There’s a slider for reducing intensity of color and a slider for blue to warm. I am lost without it.

I use the native iPad camera app for cropping and either for straightening.

 

@vauhtikatti Your boys look great!
Here are some videos that could possible help you to achieve the edit you're looking for.

 

He's fantastic! Did you make his coat or buy it?

 

@Quiet and Insane Thank you! The coat (and satchel) is from Iplehouse's Noctarcana Circus Tedros outfit. While I'm not in the habit of owning Iple dolls, I do love collecting the good old outfits from back when their quality was still outstanding.

 

Ooh a classic Iple outfit! Very nice!. It suits him well.
