Dollmore Narsha and Friends Discussion Part 2

I'm dying to do a family portrait (though I'm not sure how to style it - everyone has Victorian-like clothing, except for Florie; Florie has medieval clothes, but her children don't), but I need light - with this artificial lighting, nothing looks nice. So it will be for this weekend. Though - well, it's going to be rainy, so I hope there will be enough light even during the day! Boo.

I've never tried making my own wigs... This one is probably not the greatest quality, but it will do for now. I like how wild it can look .

 

The wig looks good to me!
2012 was the Year of the Wig for me. I made my first one on Jan 1 XD and have gone crazy with them since.

I hear you on the styling and light. I work all day so I never have light either XD And I've never been good at taking pictures of multiple dolls anyway, so that makes it even harder. And I also feel your pain on clothing. I'm actually getting Alex's "parents" in a state where they can be photographed with his newest young self (the Zihu lol), or any of the others, and historical clothing is not something I have. I'm sort of throwing together things that are somewhat close and hoping for the best. Hair is a pain too. David is wearing a super-long wig atm, and I'm planning on cutting it tonight. Hopefully it works. I may need to break out the boiling-pot.

 

Photo by daylight (or what passes for it these days :p) - now with wolfish yellow eyes .

...I think I have a new favourite doll format. Narshas are just ideal! I just like the feeling of these dolls too - so solid and nice.

Everyone who got back to me about the seams: I can see why they didn't bother you. As far as I am concerned, they are pretty negligeable. My Alex's seams are much worse - not so negligeable :/.

 

@Sigune, don't you just love their hands?
It's a shame my hobby table is all cluttered up right now,
other wise I'd take mine out and start playing right now, just by seeing your Lovell.
I will probably clean it all up and play later on, though!

 

*[E]*, I absolutely *adore* their hands, and their feet too - I think of them as Gu Mi-Jeong's trademarks . I don't know how common this is in BJD owners, but hands and feet are really of major importance to me. When I hesitated between a BID/KID and a Narsha, the hands and feet made the choice a lot easier. And handling your Narsha hybrids at the meeting convinced me entirely :P. They are so darling! I'm so glad I have my own now .

More spam, this time of Lovell and his (her? still haven't decided) mum, Florie:



I'm happy that those yellow eyes look good in him/her. I did get them specifically for Lovell, but I tried them in almost all my other dolls just for fun, and they looked terrible in everyone. They were a bit creepy, to be honest. I'm not sure why, because Florie has the same, only with high domes, and there is nothing creepy about that pair of eyes. In any case, for the wolfling they are excellent.

- Do we have a Narsha photo thread yet? *goes looking*

ETA: Box opening...

 

They look so good together!! The wig looks really good with Lovell's face up.
I'm in love with this size too. I keep playing with mine lol They're just so nice! They're really like the Zaoll body, just smaller.

I looked earlier but couldn't find a photo thread. We should start one. I already have several pics to post!

 

I had taking new photos of my Narsha prior to Christmas and was playing with her photos. So this is actually my Narsha art. I am thinking of getting another Narsha but don't want to get the same sculpt. Actually thinking of Shabee or Sleepy Narsha. Does anyone have a photo of these?

 

They are very nice in size. And I love her "wolfish" eyes.

 

She's so cute morelle!

I'm actually thinking of buying a Narsha head myself. I think the larger eyes will work better in my group. I love the Zihu to death though, so I'm not sure about switching....but either way I can just stick the extra head in the head box, so no harm will be done! I would like to see more Narsha photos...I went through the database but it's pretty small....

 

my girl has been somewhat neglected lately but ellyce is a shabee

 

Thank you!! I really do like Zihu too. But I also love the sleeping head as well as Shabee. But also I was thinking of mixing it up a bit and getting an Iplehouse KID which is the same size as Narsha. What to do? What to do?

I love her!! Thanks for sharing her photo! Shabee is on my want list.

 

She's adorable! So sweet!
I got the Narsha head....I hope it gets here quickly, I can't wait to compare them...

 

Did you order your Narsha head directly through Dollmore? I was looking for the link and can't find it. I was thinking of getting the sleeping or Shabee head.

 

I got mine off the MP, but here is the link to it on DM, which would have been my second choice. All doll parts are under Dollmore Doll for some reason XD so it makes it less than easy to locate anything. Shabee doesn't seem to be an option, but if you want one I would at least ask them if they'll sell it. I've bought things from them before that aren't available, so it's possible!

 

ummm get both? they work really well together. i have a lonnie and a shabee (enable, enable)

 

Thanks for the link!! A little late because I couldn't help myself!! I just got back from my local doll shop and ordered a blank Shabee. YAY!! (the whole doll) But for sure I will get the sleeping head Narsha.

Shabee is welcome here?

Thank you so much for the "enabling". Like I need it!! I think you are totally on the mark auntbear. OK on my wish list is the sleeping Narsha and an IH KID!! My news years resolution?

 

of course, shabee is considered a narsha. she is actually a narsha friend technically on dollmore's site but they share the same body so it's all good. i have yet to understand why zihu got listed as a narsha instead of a narsha friend when she came out after shabee and coco? if anyone can explain that one to me, i'd love to know the reasoning behind that.

oh and if you need any more enabling, if you were thinking of getting your kid in light brown or dark skin they are on sale till jan 15th AND you can put them on 2 month layaway. duck over to the kid thread for more info (lighter skin colors not on sale)

 

I can't find it auntie. Please help. When I go to the kid thread and click on the one that I want It doesn't give the a light brown or dark skin option for resin color. Are you talking about the peach gold and the special real skin resin colors?

 

you have to go to the custom doll systom to get the dark colors. (that's why they are on sale normally cds is way more than regular but right now they are the same price) then you can pick the darker colors

if you need layaway here is the link

and to keep this on topic. here is a close up of my darling ellyce

Oh.

OK. I'm off to see. Thanks so much auntie. Will let you know how I make out. And thanks for the heads up!!
