Creature Doll! Armored Beauties ready for Adventure

I know for certain that Sartoria J made some fashions for Raccoon Doll. Remember Lucy's military uniform? It wouldn't surprise me if she also designed/sewed for Iplehouse. While they don't identify their designers, some styles are unmistakable. And since Mr. Park also worked at Iplehouse, it stands to reason he would be familiar with Iple's clothing designers.

@skyealloway - Good to know your staff isn't broken. I saw the pieces photo on your Flickr and wondered. As for the hybrid question, I stood my Luts Model Delf next to my Creature Dolls and just eyeballing them together I'd say it's no go. The resin colors are too different--my MDF girl is a little more than 6 months older than my Lucia but her normal skin looks yellow by comparison. I don't know how the whites compare. It also looks like the MDF neck is too thick for the CD head and would need modding.

 

Just got the shipping notice for my Mei

 

Just got one too! ...guess I'd better figure out what I'm going to do with her, ne?

 

yes I got mine too!
help I have nothing for her x,x (ok I have some clothes for my FID girl so she won´t sitting around nacked)

I think I call her (my Karin) Amalia. or Amira like my big elf girl I sold because she was too big with her 65 cm

 

I got my shipping notice, too. What's funny is I was checking his website (again!) yesterday and saw that my past and present order history had disappeared. I emailed him about it last night, and this morning I got the shipping notice. With my luck she'll arrive Saturday while I'm at a doll meet.

@Uminari - I like the name Amira. Very pretty.

 

Lilith is in my town. I should have her in hand sometime today. The question now is, do I have time to do a face-up before tomorrow's doll meet-up?

Lilith has arrived. I gave her a quick face-up, which I really like, then as I was positioning her eyes I somehow scratched an eyebrow and the color came off. I don't think it's the fault of my MSC, because I've had problems doing face-ups on Creature Dolls before where color doesn't stick to some parts of the resin. I washed her head before the face-up, but I should have wiped her with acetone, too. That usually resolves the color-won't-stick problem. I'll take photos at tomorrow's doll meet. She's going as is--I don't have time to re-do her.

 

Aw, well, thanks for the warning. Maybe just a bit of mold-release still on the sculpt? I'll make sure to give mine a thorough cleaning.

 

That's what I thought. It's always just on or above an eyebrow.

 

Forgot to say my girl arrived on Friday as well, safe and sound! But I was kind of amused to find the oversized shipping box full of cut-up foam-people bits. I was tempted to take a photo and post it with the caption, "Oh, the carnage!"

Now the only problem is, which project doll do I work on first?

 

Oh, well, mostly fairly minor things. It just wasn't planned that I would end up getting a trade offer for a body I've had on the MP for like two years and two doll arrivals in such quick succession! So now I have an AE mermaid body (that I need to remove some glued-on decorations from, do some paint touch-ups and find a head for), the SD spider girl who's forcing a complete redesign of my original concept for her (though the work in this case is mostly going to be modifying clothing, not the doll), and this third CD girl who I was planning to widen the eyes on to look more like the original Lucia sculpt. I'm actually only planning on keeping the tan twins - it was always my intention to replace the NS version with a tan one if I got the chance to.
(And then I hope to drill through the hips in one of my JID dolls so she can be strung normally, but that can wait.)

 

Lilith finally has a face-up! Well, okay, so it's her third. I'm picky and the first two looked great in person and horrible on my computer screen. She also has a bicycle. I've had this for years but haven't had it out in a long time. I had no idea she would turn out to be a tomboy!

 

lovely Lilith. she's an environmentalist perhaps? using the bike for short errands and visits. great bike.
am looking for something similar. so hard to tell by measurements if things look good next to a doll.

 

She looks good! I love the combo of teal and blonde hair, and the bike is precious!

 

Thanks @petiteballerine, @skyealloway, @Sianserais ! I can't get her to sit on the bike, unfortunately. The wheels move but the chain and pedals don't, and I can't seem to get her feet into position where they'll stay on the pedals. The next time I photograph it I'll try to remember to put something colorful in the bike's basket to liven things up. I bought the bike from Pier 1 Imports, but like it I said, it was years ago. I didn't worry too much about the size. I collect several different doll sizes so it was bound to work for someone.
