Elfdoll Rainy (Large) Discussion Part 4

@Follow-the-Wind Yanli’s faceup looks great. I love the skin texture you achieve.

This thread got me to thinking about Lucy, my Smiling Soah. I designed an outfit for her and had time this morning to go through my clothes and put together what I’d call a draft outfit and took some pics. Here’s a teaser of Lucy’s style.

 

@Follow-the-Wind your photos tend to be very immersive so maybe if they aren't in the same universe it's not feasible, but desk snapshots are cool too. It's great that you still have the four elfdolls even if not all the ones you had. I think four is a big group from one company!

Your Yanli looks beautiful she remains so fresh and beautiful for a character who seems also somewhat aged and battletorn, that's excellent!
I hope every now and then she'll get photos without her blindfold. You worked so much wonder on her eye area!! Ok but for real, I am not trying to boss anyone around just express my enthusiasm for nice looking things

@Alewife my own dreams of holiday photos and group shots of my doll collection I wanted to do this year feel like they are crashing and burning but there is still time I guess

@tenukihandcrafts ah I love your comment about the spaceship! That's too funny. (I was writing a sci-fi that I fear I might never get back to writing so I love it). The object over there in the picture if you can imagine it is a kind of sunburst mirror with a large central circle then round reflective gems on rods radiating outward.

Edit: ah you did get to spend some time on your Lucy!! That's awesome! I love smiling soah so much. I think this outfit style is really cool for yours!

@Arengil I love your photo
Sleepy/relaxing dolls in cozy indoor environments make me feel happy.

 

@AlisonVonderland . Ah, a mirror, I can see that, thanks for describing it. Is your sci fi story the world your crew inhabits? i hope you keep working on your story, at your own pace, of course. You never know when inspiration will strike!

I did spend time with Lucy. She needed a wig; happily the grey wig fit. I’ve trimmed the bangs a touch since I took the above photo.

 

@tenukihandcrafts
I think grey hair is so interesting on dolls. One of those colors sometimes I realize I don't have in my collection and would probably spice things up. Anyway Lucy is very charming, I'm looking forward to seeing her as you're working on her style.

I started writing the story in the fall/winter 2 years ago and used a few character personalities that existed in my dolls as my backbone for it: Fer and Marina, plus Kam, Sven, Omega and Laurel (currently defunct). I then made a doll after another character, Hawa. My dolls don't really have a world or worlds they live in when I'm thinking about them/ I like sitting different ones with each other and still imagining them interacting. They are real-life objects to me with individual personalities and I usually just think of them kind of abstractly like that. But it made it easier to start writing something using some character archetypes that were already intimately known to me.

Edit: and thanks for the encouragement.
