    2. Sweet! That really does look better than in company photos! Handsome man! Congrats!

      Ooo, so nice to see the black lisa rubik! I hope for more photos of her!

      And Sapphire, hot photo! That will keep the ladies warm this winter! :wiggle
       
    3. Girrl: Well, since you mentioned CJ's room mates.......I guess Guy wouldn't be so far out of his comfort zone as I'd thought.
      He says "Hi" to everyone.:mwahaha

      VampireAngel13: Your dolls look very much into the holiday spirit! Especially the guy with the fantastic "Bah Humbug" shirt.:thumbup
      (I have a hat that says that and I love it.) Guy Winston says thank you for the compliment.;)

      taecelle: Your truly "black" doll is truly outstanding!:3nodding:

      petiteballerine: Glad you like my 3 eyed Guy.:abambi:

      SapphireStargazer: We are sooooo jealous of all your resin family in their fantastic holiday wardrobes! Wonderful pictures!:D
      How did Noe get to use Zach and Aubrey's blanket? He really is a little devil isn't he? I can almost see horns peeking out from under that Santa hat! And that "come hither" look he's projecting..........0ooooo!:wiggle Drake has a Santa hat in his clothing box, but he won't wear it. :sneaky He said he'd wear a Bah Humbug shirt, if I'd get him one, but no Santa hat.
      (He really is a Scrooge!):doh
      And thank you for the compliment on my latest Guy Winston shot. Maybe there's hope for me yet?*_*
       
    4. Thanks all *V* After working with Lawrence Owen, I feel like he shares a few features with Kyle Reese~ Maybe a big brother? X3 I always like when i can see the sculptor's hand in features.

      I'm actually quite unhappy with the wig I ordered for him from dollmore so here's a pic of him with his new faceup sans wig. >_>
      I'm not too worried though, Dollmore always has excellent service so I hope they'll at least give me some store credit. The wig has some major bald spots. D:

    5. Genevive; He looks fantastic! I can't wait to see him with his wig on.:)
       
    6. Genevieve Yayyyy! He looks amazing, so many congrats!!! Sorry about the wig, but I'm in love with the faceup you gave him!

      My Kara Klum head is still MIA....he sat in Chicago forever....hopefully he'll be home today or tomorrow, because I leave Thursday and won't be back until Sunday D:

      So not looking forward to holiday "vacation"...
       
    7. Thanks all. :D I managed to trim the wig to hide the band but it isn't his style any more. :T Dollmore was gracious as ever and refunded me. I'm going to try another wig and hope that it works out! I honestly don't know what would best suit him. D:

      VampireAngel13: Hope your Kara head gets home soon! ^3^ I shall be excited to see what comes of him. e v e
       
    8. Well that's good at least! Especially if you can use it for someone else eventually.

      I am truly hoping nothing will come out of him. I trying really hard to just have him as a spare for the one I'm planning to mod. Just in case. I don't need 8....I really don't.

      XD

      Anyway, here's my Fine. She was going to be a girl, on a taller body than the Eve body -- but I accidentally made her a boy.

      [​IMG]

      I like this head on the DC body more than Alex -- first, it was too tall for Alex, and I couldn't get it to sit with it's knees apart which really bugged me. With this head, I don't care XD
      This one matches better too.
       
    9. I can't get over how gorgeous she is.
       
    10. Taecelle: wow! so lovely!
      VampireAngel 13: "accidently made her a boy..." :D
      Genevieve: I've never noticed that sculpt before - lots of character & a manly kind of guy.
       
    11. VampireAngel13: Haha there are those infamous boy making powers at work! I am afflicted as well... But your Fine looks awesome,he makes a lovely boy.


      taecelle: I loooove her black resin! She's so graceful against the snow.

      Petiteballerine: He's definitely got character. :D A very brooding guy. Here he is a'brooding away.

    12. XD
      That's exactly how it happened, I swear!!

      Thanks! I'm really enjoying him again....and Biwol is such a perfect Isis. and yay for more Lawrence Owen! I love seeing all the older sculpts getting some love, and looking so good!


      I am super-excited now. I pulled Metatron - my Catcher Ripley Days - off the chopping block, restrung him and spent some time trying on all my 70cm clothes. Some did not fit, but some did. And he now has EID shoes. They're a little wide, but they work, and he has two pairs of shoes now instead of one (which came with his fullset).

      I bought an off-topic-for-this-thread head that is going to share his body, and will need two specific and different wardrobes, so I've been looking around for things and found just about everything I need on Alice Collections. Mint On Card carries one of their brands, and had almost every shirt I wanted in stock and I got them in today.

      Everything fits perfectly!! So now I can order a bunch of stuff I still need from AC and not be 100% scared it won't fit. Only like, 42% lol

      Now he just needs a new faceup, new eyes and a new wig. And clothes for him as opposed to the other head. And body blush. So someday in the far far future he'll be a doll again.

      he looks really good bald with a hood on tho.

      Here's some Alex. Just because.

    13. So many great photos of gorgeous dolls in here! :love

      I've mostly been lurking because there's nothing much new with my Dollmore dolls these days. I think I'm going to switch Noé's hands back to his static hands. The jointed ones are cool, but they can be a PITA when I'm trying to photograph him. It actually takes as long or longer to pose his fingers as it does to pose the rest of him. I've decided to get some heel feet for Élise, so when I order my Zaoll later this year (probably March or April) I will add Élise's feet into that order.

      Meanwhile, have some Noé spam. He wanted to take his new winter coat for a test drive. :) Élise has a coat just like this, too. If the weather ever warms up above -15, I want to take them both outside for a few pictures. Of course, I'll have to restring and suede Élise first, so she can stand up by herself. Anyway...

    14. taecelle Black+white. Great idea!

      Genevieve Handsome! Pretty face-up!

      VampireAngel13
      Really awsome hair, dear Alex ;)

      SapphireStargazer
      Oooh, I love his white winter coat!


      And here's my Mr. Jones

      [​IMG]
       
    15. SugarFirefly, is he a Zaoll? What an awesome hybrid! :)
       
    16. SapphireStargazer Yes ^^ Thank you :dance
       
    17. Noé looks great, I love his coat! He does not look that thrilled to be out in the cold....

      ugh isn't that the worst part of jointed hands?? Try having several in a photo. Way too many joints. Someone's finger is always out of place ruining whole photos. I once took a great pic of two of my Minis, and with my DC Colin (who has the jointed hands) holding a coffee cup -- his thumb was backwards. The rest of the picture was great and because of that no one has ever seen it....

      My boys switch their hands out often. That way I don't go insane but if someone needs a finger for something they have it on hand.

      What Zaoll are you planning on getting? I love them so much - I used to own Ramie, but she didn't work for what I needed (and was replaced by Eve Miso). Sometimes I miss having her, she was so freaking pretty. I do love the body. For a totally single-jointed body it's definitely one of my favorites.

      Oh I just love him! I think Zaoll's look so good on the DM Adam body.


      One more photo, which is the reason Alex has the jointed hands on again XD
      And the reason I spent several hours re-cutting and styling his wig (the result is the photo I posted up there^^)
      Also, my Biwol is the girl behind him - so two DMs in one photo! Sorta

    18. Thanks! lol it was stupidly cold that day. It was a lot colder than I anticipated, but since I'd taken all the trouble of bundling myself up and bundling Noé up, I was determined to get a few good shots. I think Noé was trying to tell me he needed gloves. :XD:

      Ugh yes...that one awkwardly positioned finger can just kill a shot. I can't imagine posing more than one set of jointed hands for a photo. Actually, Noé hasn't had his static hands on since his jointed ones arrived, but he's getting his static hands back before I do any more photos of him.

      As for Zaoll, I'm planning to get a Luv in NS, so my Soul Vito boy will have a friend. ;) I wonder if Dollmore will do custom makeup for her? The basic Luv default makeup is really nice, but not what I have in mind for the character. I am in love with the "HBC Story Dreaming Luv" faceup because it looks so natural and looks as if she isn't wearing makeup at all. I'd want something similar to that. I actually don't mind single-jointed bodies and it seems like Zaoll poses really well based on the numerous photos I've seen. I've got quite a few single-jointed dolls here and although I can honestly say I prefer double joints, a single-jointed body is definitely not a deal-breaker for me.

      Are those the Dikadoll jointed hands Alex is wearing? Also, if I've never mentioned it before, That wig is one of the most awesome wigs ever, in my opinion. I love how intense the colours are.
       
    19. Thank you! His wig is driving me nuts. Well, less nuts after I cut it twice last week...now I have it about as perfect as it will get until I redo it completely XD
      They are DK hands. They're the only company who makes them white enough for him *-* plus they're the same size as his normal hands (I'm afraid of small hands so this is a big thing for me). Ugh I've actually put gloves on jointed hands before....I nearly cried when I took them off it was so hard to do!

      Yay! I Love Luv XD I'm one of those weird people who prefer single joints...I like double, but only certain ones. They have to be stable and they have to work and not be stupid hidden ones, and I would prefer they not be hideous. So basically single is better for me lol I've sold lots of dolls because their double-joints drive me crazy and I can't stand them. I really hate lower torso breaks too. I much prefer a two part torso. Lately I've even started appreciating one-part torsos for the pretty. *ranty*

      Hmmm....back in the day DM used to do custom faceups, it just cost more. If you ask them about it I wouldn't say you want the LE faceup - I've heard they won't replicate their LE faceups - but if you just describe that too them that might work. I don't know if they still offer customs though, it's been a long time since I've bought a faceup on purpose...
