Oh heck yeah!! He's stunning! I really love those scars - the texture is fantastic. And that's a fantastic job with the colour matching.
Thank you! My eyebrows always end up more fluffy than the base I do in the beginning haha! Thank you! I love doing scars, even if they slow me down as I need to wait for the pva glue to dry before I can blush over them and seal to blush more
Wow! IzabethS, he looks awesome! He is so perfect; lookin' all smexy, smoldering, and moody. He even looks a little dangerous, which makes him even more hot! I bow to your mighty face-up talent!
Ah thank you! He’s usually quite the sweetheart, but he definitely has a moody streak in him that comes out whenever he’s disgruntled. And being a pirate he is quite dangerous
Ooh I totally understand that feeling! It's agony waiting for them to dry when you really just want to paint!
DZ NANA has me losing my mind, y'all: Dollzone Official on Instagram: "Crazy！The video from #瑜瑜酱 The new bjd works with 瑜瑜酱 “NANA(mechanical version)” coming soon! #bjd #bjddoll #bjdsale" She's supposed to be 60 cm. I just can't believe how intricate this doll is.
Man... I'm so on the fence. It's just amazing, but... I have a plan for 2024, and it did not include her.
Oh woooooow!! What a cool doll! Those parts are so intricate, the amount on engineering that went into her must have been phenomenal.
I already thought DollZone was amazing, despite only owning one full doll from them and one head (I got the full doll at one point but sold the body). Ancient ones at that! I love their Antu, always been tempted to get one -- or their beautiful Moment, neither which I'll ever own (because I am a weirdo). That mechanical doll however, just dropped my jaw all the way to the floor! If she was smaller, I might have to put my dislike of resin aside and bitten the bullet, but she's proably going to be the most amazing work of art I've ever seen on the internet, in doll form! I look foward to seeing owner photos! (:
Oh she is fantastically amazing! I wouldn't know what to do with her though so I will just admire her from afar!
For those interested in the new mechanical doll here's the IG for the original sculptor Trey Gegenfu. https://www.instagram.com/trey.gegenfu/ I'm really liking DZ's collabs lately. They've also got Hush Dollzone Official on Instagram: "DollZone × 黑见明 self-restraint“Hush” Collaborations coming soon！ #bjd #bjddoll #bjdsale" And then their non-collab doll Silwan or Silvan Sina Visitor System
Dollzone has been doing great dolls in collabs. And Silvan has very much a Dream Valley Apocalypse Horseman vibes! I finally got Zai better eyes in, they’re resin from EyesinaBox on Etsy. I got some new ones for Kass as well! Spoiler: Can’t forget to post Kass and her new eyes as well! ! I’ve been toying with the idea of getting Kass a pink wig for fun, as currently she looks like a fancy oversized barbie due to being dressed in all pink and have long blonde hair XD
Mm definitely agree there, DZ's collabarations have been on point. I just wish money grew on trees Oh heck yeah! Those eyes look stunning @IzabethS!
@IzabethS, the new eyes look beautiful in Zai and Kass. I think Kass in a pink wig would be great! (And YAY! New thread! Number 9, and still hanging in there! )
I grabbed Azrael today to change his clothes and boy oh boy do his strings need tightening. Figures...I've nearly had him a decade and not ever tighten him! So that's my little project for this afternoon. I really need to take some new photos of my crew.
This is the story of my doll life right now. Moswen (AoD Chi) is my first, favourite and most heavily played with doll. He's 15 years old now and he's still rocking his original AoD elastic and it's finally starting to show. I 1,000% need to re-string Aischylous (RS Yao boy) as I think his elastic simply doesn't elastic anymore. Dakarai (Akhmel Nathan) actually had the elastic break in his hands so he needs to be re-strung completely but I've been putting that off for like a year as he's strung with beading elastic and I'm nervous about re-stringing him. The list really does go on and on. I haven't checked recently, but Fei-Lau could likely use either a tightening or a full re-string as he's still got his original DZ elastic, too. Khale is likely in the same boat as he's got his original Leeke elastic, too. Re-stringing is one of my least favourite doll things to do and there's many a day when my hands are having none of that foolishness (like today, yea arthritis!).
I don't mind restringing dolls - some of mine are done in neat ways so that I avoid having to take them apart, like my old Dollshes, but Azrael has really narrow channels so he's much more fiddly. But I got him done! This time with help from my partner, because while I can do it alone, last time I restrung Azrael specifically, one of his s-hooks snapped out of place and caught my finger. Big ouch! I wasn't keen to do it again.
