5th Motif Discussion - part 5

Dropping in here to share a Venitu I painted for my friend She dropped him off at my house like... a year ago, whoops! She said I could do whatever I wanted, and I was inspired by his skin-tight leather pants so went for a tired rockstar.



This body is seriously a masterpiece!! One thing I really, really appreciate is how the elbows are designed so when you bend them, they're actually pointed. Awesome little detail that I've never seen on another doll!

 

Wow, he's so handsome!! You really, nailed the look!

 

I'm obsessed with 5th motif sculpts, ugh, I hope I can find nice priced ones someday

 

Hopefully! They do pop up from time to time. It's just a matter of being ready for one when it appears.

 

Is this the right place to talk about 5th motif hybrids? I've succesfully hybrided my Goohwa but I'm still struggling with my Venitu, I've had some recommendations that seem pretty good like the dollshe 28M Classic body, but thought i'd ask for some other options??? Venitu's wonderful but troublesome big jaw makes it hard for him too look good in anything but the timeless body

 

Of course you can talk about hybrids here!
I have my Venitu on a Dollshe Pure body. He does look a bit weird proportionally, but it works for his character. The freakishly long neck on the body works out well with his deep neck hole.

 

Anyone knows when will 5th open pre order? I’m too late to know 5th

 

There won't be a new preoder for Venitu and Gohwa. The artist said they don't want to release them again and instead focus on new dolls (last I heard a girl was next?)

 

Oh thank you! Guess I’m gonna keep my eye on second hand Gohwa.

 

Second hand is the way to go if you're fast and have money set aside. I'm still praying another Venitu head will pop up one day. I'd really like to mod one into a sleeping version!

 

A sleeping version of Venitu would be cool. I wish more companies would do them...sleeping versions of sculpts...and make them available when ordering the regular version.

 

Oh absolutely! The #1 way to get me to spend more money is to give me part options - sleeping heads and hand poses!

 

Thanks so much I actually have my Goohwa on one of those! Its a match made in heaven

 

It's definitely a great hybrid! I feel like from some angles maybe his head might look a little too big, but it's not enough to annoy me. I just adore how much the body slouches! Having a perfect resin match is also pretty nice.

 

I feel like you can make some really great hybrids with both Goohwa and Venitu and I’m always happy to see what people come up with

 

I'm so excited to be able to join this thread since I've now acquired a Venitu. He doesn't have a name yet, but I'm sure it'll come to me soon. I love them moody boys. It's been quite an adventure to collect dolls that were discontinued before I even joined the hobby, but so happy to have gotten him (with a little enablement and nudging from some fellow collectors).

 

Cough cough!

 

Hello and welcome to the thread. He's gorgeous! I love the emotion in this photo!

 

Only a slightly guilty conscience?

Thank you! I hope to photograph him more soon. I am living for how this line has such a variety of styles and aesthetics. Seeing other's creativity in this hobby brings me so much joy.

 

I really should take my boy out for photos again, but the rain as deemed it will only appear on my days off at the moment.
