DollFamily -H and -A mini dolls discussion

Bumping this up with a picture of my DF-H Chiyu boy.
the hands are kind of awkward....

He's great! Is that the full set? The resin is a lovely tan.

 

Yup, fullset. I really liked how he looked in it. I may have to get the faceup redone though, it's fogging up a bit on his left side.

 

It looks really nice! Sorry to hear about the faceup, though.

 

I may order a set of hands for my tan boy, the ones he has are really awkward for some photos I want to take. I hope they match his year old tan well enough.

 

Yeah, these guys have some really weird hands. Even the "normal" pair, I think that's the flat right hand here, are just...awkward. You're right.

 

I will probably resort to boiling heating and moving fingers at some point.

 

Oooo! I totally forgot about that trick! Thanks for for reminding me!

 

I don't know if I ever got around to posting pics of my normal skin DF-H Nan Xing named Xander:


His body is great, and he is very stable for posing. I haven't done any blushing yet, or added the light facial hair I wanted. I'd like to open his eyes a little, but I don't even know where to start! Do you think adding eyes that had a smaller iris would look better without resorting to sanding? Here is a closeup of his face, his eyes are a light color but don't show:

@whisperwolf You can switch to smaller irises, but it might look off because switching to smaller irises could make the smile look less...smiley? and relaxed, but if you position the eyes right it might be fine. Couldn't hurt to try! Opening his eye shape to be less squinty will definitely lessen the smile though if that's important to you

 

@whisperwolf Here is my boy with small iris eyes so you can see. I have some larger iris eyes in him permanently but that is because of his character.

My Yue Jian boy also has the smaller iris eyes!

Technically you can only see one, so here's another pic with his other hairdo for better reference.

 

Thank you @aestellica for your response. I will give the smaller iris a shot first before permanently altering him. I bought him for his smile.
Thank you so much for the examples @SteamWitch and @Magnus Vale ! That really helps me visualize it more!

 

Apparently no one posts much here? Well that makes me sad. Finally got my girl, Kandy's, head in a year after I ordered it. Finished the faceup and just wanted to share her and say hi.

 

@Peneyofdeath - Was your head from DFH or DFA? I recently ordered a body from DFH, I really hope I don't have a year wait time, the dealer told me 5-6 months.

 

@xyuemoto she's entirely from DFH. Her CoA says she was completed Jan. 11th, but I didn't get her in my hands until maybe two weeks ago.

 

@Peneyofdeath - Oh wow, I really hope my body doesn't take that long. It's going to be a hybrid. I am getting the body first and the head after I receive the body so I can hopefully get the head colour matched to the body.

 

@xyuemoto The times might be longer now, but I ordered a body through Alice's Collections on Oct 21st last year and it arrived on the 31st of January this year, so hopefully it's not a full year for you!

@Peneyofdeath Congrats on your new girl! She's really cute

 

@Statuess - I ordered from Alice Collections too. You have me hopeful I could have a short wait. That would be amazing if so. It's just a body I ordered so no faceup wait time.

 

@Statuess You have me hopeful now too! I ran an experiment to see if I'd keep ordering DF dolls from Divas. Went and ordered a 1/4 and a 1/3 dolls from Alice's Collection in about end of Feb. I'd love if they came in soon. I miss my giant god of death....
