She is gorgeous!! I need to see a pic of her and her man together now! Sometimes with dolls you need to use a ribbon and pull the strings up through the head hole and THEN S-hook it. A real pain but it can help sometimes. Glad you got your girl together! YAY!
@chalyss I couldn't resist, so I put together a makeshift setting and went snap-happy with Vivian and my Granado Michael. To prevent too much image-spamming, I just put two pics below and put the rest in a Photogallery of their own. ^_^; Show Me 10 by Yela Gatchalian-David, on Flickr Show Me 12 by Yela Gatchalian-David, on Flickr And yep, the ribbon method was exactly what I used! Unfortunately, the ribbon ended up being stuck between the S-hook and the elastic -- I just left it inside Vivian's head as some sort of "brains". XD
Stunning!!! And they DO go so well together! Vivian is a gorgeous sculpt (as is Azalea) but very different, yes. She looks GREAT! That is a powerhouse face up! LOVE it!!
@luluna I second more spam. D: Every time I search Flickr for pics of these dolls, I get a bit of a heartache because I keep thinking what it would be like if Fantasia Doll actually survived. @chalyss With the lack of realistic girls in Crocus Lee's mettle, Fantasia's women are really quite a match for Granado. (Still ecstatic over the fact that my boy and girl heads are to-scale with each other now.) I've decided to keep Azalea, perhaps for "flashback" photoshoots or when her character goes incognito. They're so different, I can't seem to keep one and let the other go!
Canary Cute head on Souldoll Zenith body! Not bad at all! YES, I agree-- I wish Granado had more realistic or mature heads too for the ladies but I think Crocus' strength is in his male sculpting. I'm glad you're keeping Azalea too though! She's such a pretty head! It is SUCH a shame Fantasia went under... so much potential.
@chalyss That body certainly looks fitting for Canary's "happy" sculpt! I'm having difficulty imagining her on the bigger female bodies like Iplehouse. XD Are you going to make a neck adapter for her? I now admire Fantasia's "neck lip" at the base of the head -- so simple, but results in good mobility.
Heh. I do have a pic of her on the Claudette full figured body and it's... amusing. But here are some more of bigger bodies: Fantasia head on Idealian body Fantasia head on IH EID body Fantasia head on Idol body Fantasia head YID body Nude bodies: analei cute2 Vivian head: Baroness nude On the Claudette: Cute on Claudette Right now I am using foam rounds from my DVD stack! Those white rounded they add in to protect the top DVD? Worked GREAT!
Are there other Canaries and Barbaras that made it to their owners before Fantasia went down? D: Looks like they're even rarer than Vivian or Alice in the secondhand market these days. To add to the hybrid pics started by @chalyss, here's some DF-H jointed hands with respect to a Fantasia Vivian on an IMPL Star body. The wrists would need to be padded because the wrist ball is a little small (hmmm might have to look through my junk pile if I have any foam rounds). DF-H + IMPL + Fantasia by Yela Gatchalian-David, on Flickr Edit: the hands are the 1/3 male version. Sorry, I forgot to state earlier!
Those hands look good! I have some DF-H jointed hands running around here somewhere... now I know who to pair them with! Foam rounds are my new love!
Moar hybrid Vivian spam! I still hadn't finished attaching lace trimming to the most recent dress I made for her, but it's already calling for a photoshoot. Fantasia girls rock period-inspired clothing, it seems. Sewing on Lace 1 by Yela Gatchalian-David, on Flickr Sewing on Lace 2 by Yela Gatchalian-David, on Flickr
@AntarelNefertili Your Vivian is lovely and she poses so well! I actually do have a Barbara head but haven't had her faced-up yet. No body either...
Barbara is an awesome head! I am so sorry I missed out on her! Impldoll makes a good, inexpensive body for those heads.
@lnl_akl Thank you! My Vivian is on an IMPLdoll Starwoman body (although as @chalyss can point out, the Idol woman body works just fine) -- poses well with the right stringing methods. Barbara has grown on me after seeing owner photos of her (which are sadly so few and far in betweeen D: ).
Happy New Year, everyone! Here's one of Adhara (my Fantasia Vivian)'s early 2018 photos. Her kimono is just a trial run to see if I could pull off a "wing on the sleeve" concept, and I call it a success. 02 - Wing Kimono by Yela Gatchalian-David, on Flickr Granado Michael definitely approves, too. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4599/39491219321_17c59a0628.jpg 04 - Interruption by Yela Gatchalian-David, on Flickr
Long time no post! And, thank you very much, @chalyss. ^_^ For those still wondering about small-iris eyes, I managed to get a hold of Silent Paradise eyes that are 12mm with 5mm iris. These are just quick snaps with less-than-optimal lighting, but it gives an idea of how that scale looks on Vivian: New Eyes by Yela Gatchalian-David, on Flickr Edit: added a close up https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4663/39776624631_a19e0fafb3.jpg Close Up of SP's FF17 by Yela Gatchalian-David, on Flickr
They look great! I solved the problem by making the eyes by myself. I made various types of them... But for some reason I am not able to post the pictures Vivien... Commission
@Sillion Ah yes, I recall seeing your photos on Flickr! You did a great job, especially with the slit-eyed one. I tried sharing your pics, and they seem to work fine. Have you tried using the Flickr-sharing tutorial?
