Elfdoll Rainy (Large) Discussion Part 4

@WinterSong I'm sorry your Lydia arrived in bad condition. To remove the odor, I recommend cold water and leaving the doll in a clean refrigerator for a few days. (It's brutal, I know.)
It may not help completely, but it should reduce the smell a little...

 

He's very handsome @ArcaneDesires ! Congrats on getting him put together to your satisfaction! I love it when that happens

 

Hazy has a great sculpt! Thanks for posting him.

I have just revisited the thread and discovered lovely pics that I hadn't seen so must have been missing notifications for Elfdoll posts.

It makes me want to take new photos and find body matches for my Rainy heads

 

@ArcaneDesires
Beautiful stylization

 

Your Hazy looks awesome!! I'm really growing to appreciate Elfdoll sculpts more, initially I was only interested in a specific K with a specific faceup (because of how it would work well as a mini-me- literally has my face structure, and the expression one of my sonas usually has, lucky find!!) but after looking for other pictures of the sculpt and other Elfdolls in general, I have to say that I really like their style in general, it's a shame they aren't made anymore.

My K (I just paid off the layaway yesterday, woohoo!) will have her body modded from the original "boy" body to a more afab look, I'm looking forward to the project knowing that it may not come out perfect but will be a good learning experience if nothing else. I want to learn to do more adventurous customizations for my dolls, and I figured since hybrids for this resin can be... difficult, I might as well see what I can do with the body she comes with. Don't worry, the K headsculpt will remain as is! It's interesting how a sculpt I've seen described as very masculine in other threads about it (found a bunch of ancient history looking for hybrid tips!!) ends up being the perfect look for me.

 

My Elfdoll K arrived this morning and I am very happy with her, unfortunately the body proportions themselves are more obviously masculine than I'd expected and will take a LOT of work to make into my vision... and the body despite being single jointed is VERY sturdy and stable as a poser, I'm almost reluctant to modify it just because of that. For an older doll it feels very high quality. For now I'll focus on getting a proper wig and eyes for the character, as well as magnets for the headcap as the seller forgot to tell me they were missing (no hard feelings, though, I'm still happy with the doll) .

 

Cattya. Congrats on receiving your K. I’m looking forward to seeing her!

 

I'm here to do a little revival. It was exciting when several people were posting here again recently. Any of your Elfdolls been up to new adventures?

I bought a new outfit secondhand which I am really excited about for Omega, and another black wig actually. The way things go this reminded me of some of my ongoing excitement about her. I also stumbled into a Pinterest board with fashions that reminded me the style I really wanted for her when I got her back and wanted to start designing her wardrobe a couple years ago. We're waiting on the wig and outfit to arrive but I made her some new clothes I like yesterday and restyled this Monique Ginger wig of hers (tightened the waves) then tried to get started on the project of end of year/holiday portraits for the whole doll family... I'm not sure if I can do it and I only got one salvageable pic today fiddling with my DSLR but here it is anyway!

( Post images seemed to have a lot of problems Today but hopefully the picture will display, if not it should later. )

 

Omega is always so lovely!
I'm currently working on a Hazy (girl) and also bought a smiling Soah (third head for Walentyn, my soah). No pic yet!

 

@AlisonVonderland Your Omega is so beautiful and the wig is just perfect for her!

 

Thank you @Arengil !
Thank you too, @Follow-the-Wind it's exciting that you have more Soah now. Smiling soah was one of my favorite rainy sculpts. I hope your Hazy will turn out well too!
Please forgive me for not remembering the answer, have you done photos in the past of multiple elfdolls together? It's so cool when people have a small collection from one company like that, unlike me. I usually have just one.... (Well I guess I have three switch heads... Unfortunately I'm so bad at trying to take complicated doll photos!)

 

@AlisonVonderland You're welcome! Mmm no I think I never took multiple Elfdolls in picture together. That's an idea, I should try! But who I have left? Soah, Hazy, Vivien (not in the same universe) and Euna? I think that's all. I sold Sian and Yuan some years ago.

 

I love what you have done to the Ginger wig. Your girl looks lovely. I don't have new Elfdoll photos to share but that reminds me that I do have a Eun-A face to paint. It's coming up to summer holiday time here and I thought I had no new faces to paint so maybe finally Eun-A will get a face.

 

Omega is beautiful!

I've been trying to organize and sort my doll stuff, and it's reminded me of how much I love the Elfdolls. A group holiday photo sounds like a great idea, but I don't know if I'll get that far.

 

I’m enjoying the Elfdoll love. @AlisonVonderland, love Omega’s look. Her photo almost looks like she’s in a spaceship, particularly whatever is going on behind her right side.
@Follow-the-Wind - seconding photos of your Soahs .
This convo reminds me to work Lucy, my Smiling Soah’s outfit. I wish I could work on her this weekend but I have a work trip on Sunday. It looks like Lucy goes in the work on her real soon pile.

What a lovely setting, great photo!

 

In progress picture. Here is the faceup for Yanli, my Hazy:



Currently I'm making her wigcap. She will be blindfolded, so she has no eyes (and I could have let her eyes unpainted but well...)
