CP Delf Discussion Part 14

I've also been wondering about dreaming Lishe's eyes...I have one as well and she looks unmodded but she's second hand so I have no clue of course. Where the eyelid crease is seems so natural. Here's my girl, who is waiting on a faceup still. :') She is a type 1, btw.

 

Even in the photos that are still up on Luts' website of dreaming Lishe the eyes appear more closed, so him being modded had been my guess / assumption too. Maybe a Lishe expert can weigh in

 

Your Lishe does look modded to me, especially the bottom of the eyes to give her a more prominent tear duct? Her eyes also look more open? (She's gorgeous even without a faceup, btw)

The ongoing mystery of dreaming Lishes

 

I never considered they may have modded the bottom of her eyes. Omg that makes sense though, as the upper lid looks untouched to my eyes...I will have to reinspect her again when I do her faceup. (because getting her headcap off is a pain since it's held on with a rubberband inside) But I love my girl and she's perfect. I'd just love to know what she had done to her in the past. xD

edit - Looking at official pics, her eyes are meant to very narrow and almost closed..way more so than I thought. :O Lishe is just so beautiful in every form. Don't think I've ever seen one that isn't stunning, mods or not.

 

I use masking tape on the headcaps of my Type 1 Delfs so that I don't have to bother with those evil S hook mechanisms inside lol.

I suspected that Type 2 Delfs on the website maybe have eyes that are more closed than Type 1, but never confirmed this theory. :edit: Actually, I take that back. Looking at archived official photos of Type 1, I think she really did have nearly sleeping eyes. Huh!

 

@Akai Okami : Your Lishe is gorgeous~ I definitely agree with Serraphym - she looks like her lower eyelids were modded and carved open. To be honest, A LOT of delfs were modded back in the day. If you bought the "Special" package from Luts you got the dreaming head and I know people loved to customize those! Can't wait to see your girl with a faceup!

 

Ah, you guys are really making me want a dreaming Lishe.

 

@Dybbuk oh I had been eyeing that El-ss in the marketplace for weeks lol. I was determined to make him mine :3 it was the doll that made me even want to get into the hobby. I'm so glad he's come home. I'd honestly given up on him after Luts stopped selling them.

Ah! The default Yder face makes me almost regret wiping my El. It really is rare to see those old painting styles but as much as I love it, it didn't suit my boys. :<

 

@Lei Xing : I agree... I have a different vision in mind for Yder but I think I will keep this one for a bit before I wipe it. I have a ton of dolls to work on, so no sense in having him sit around blank anyway. Are you going to customize your El SS as well?

@Cloudedmind : I agree!!! This thread is dangerous~

 

I am! Well DID! Haha I just finished him yesterday. He needs earrings but that will come later. I'll post a photo at some point

 

Since I finished painting my boy here's an update of him with his proper wig!

 

He looks amazing! You did an incredible job with the faceup

 

Thank you! I think of all the paints I've done recently he was the easiest. Maybe because I've been fantasizing about it for years x x

 

@Lei Xing : He looks fantastic! I just love his expression

 

Oops my photo links don’t work

 

Ah, missed out on a Soony, I think I can officially say that is my new grail doll. That and Dambi, which if I find one of those I'm officially done lol

 

LOL, there's a long, long line of us...all seeking her out. I just can't forgive myself for keeping seeing her and wanting her on the Luts website, and then thinking I had forever to get her. And then she was gone. I was even offered one about 10 years ago, and had to let her go because I had no money at the time... *sigh*

 

The regret of not buying Delfs 15 years ago when they were everywhere and now trying to find them secondhand is so real. Sorry to hear that you missed her @Lei Xing and @Alice80 too way back when, but hopefully some pop up still.

I posted in the Feeple channel, but I actually managed to acquire the A-line Muscular body, which I also thought would be impossible to find. It came with a cute Mirwen head, but the body has since been nabbed by my Moon, whose faceup I can finally do next spring now that I have the resin to color match him to. Need to work on getting him proper hair / clothes too

 

I THOUGHT that was a Moon! Man I haven't seen one of them in a long time either! But yeah it sucks that I didn't have the money to get a Soony before they stopped selling her. I got a feeple that I plan to mod. It won't be "soony" but hopefully it'll still fit the character I have in mind. A real shame that Feeple/Luts can't run "lookback" dolls for those who weren't fortunate enough to get em.
