@Havra Oh, I hope you get through to them!

@SteamWitch I really am enjoying what you are doing with him. More clothes do seem unnecessary.

 

Ty guys I did go ahead and order 2 of their dolls on the very last day of their anniversary sale *w* Sicily with a muscle body and Crystal in brown skin. Heres to hoping the brown skin comes out just like their pictures!

 

Thank you for the suggestion. I forwarded my original messages to them using another email address and they responded and invoiced me within an hour. Something to keep in mind if anyone else has difficulty contacting them. Whew! It's official. Bianca and Davina it is.

 

@Havra Excellent news! Persistence pays!

 

@Havra So glad it worked!

Hello lovely people. How pink is Impldoll pink skin?

 

Good question. I have an old Pink Skin head and she's yellowed/lost redness to become a creamy ivory. I can't speak for current Pink but I can tell you it won't be very colourfast and will likely have a creamy base after it loses redness.

 

I received Bernice in the new pink skin August 2020, and she was quite pink when she arrived. Since then it's mellowed to a more peachy tone with a tinge of pink. Overall, I'd say the pink skin is a lovely color, and it mellows rather nicely.

 

@A Wee Tiefling Thanks so much! That actually doesn't sound to bad. I'm interested in getting Ransom. I really like his nose shape, but I'm not a big fan of Impl's bodies so I'm trying to decide what to do.

@jade-eyed-cat Thanks for the additional input.

 

The modder/faceup artist who I commissioned to fix my problematic perma-shrug MGB is finally working on the thing, yaaaay. I really hope she'll be able to level out those shoulders somehow. I'll make sure to post a pic of the results! In the meantime, here 's a pic of Adhara and her bestie (who is also her common sweetheart with Guórén) looking cute.

@AntarelNefertili Awww, there is something so sultry about Adhara's smile, but I love how they look together.

@Thymeseer YAS! She looks so good already, I can't wait for the wig.

 

@Thymeseer The gold looks so nice with the black. I really like those red lips! Very lush! The shimmer was a nice touch. Looking forward to seeing what you have in mind for her wig.

@AntarelNefertili I mostly lurk about it, but I always enjoy seeing your work.



Ignore the unicorn butt, hehe.

I finally finished Gunther's wig, gave him a haircut and a style, got him all dressed in his new suit, and found time for a photoshoot. I'm beyond excited about this doll. I took a few more shots sitting in his chair with a glass of whisky, but the toddler had begun to swarm and they didn't turn out. I'll have to try again when I've made some dolly-size cigars and his jointed hands have arrived, for the full effect.

His girl has had the same faceup since 2014 and I know I can do better now, so I wiped it the other day. I'm antsy to photograph the two of them together. Maybe I can manage it before we take the tree down. It does turn everything green, but it makes for such cool lighting.

 

@Thymeseer I can see the gold on her lips! I like the way you painted them better than the company pic.

 

@Havra Oh, he looks delightfully sinister! Looking forward to more pictures!

 

@Havra I really like his faceup! I noticed him immediately on the home page.

 

@Thymeseer Ohhhhh she gives me a vibe similar to the modern African fashions utilized in the Black Panther movie! I really miss Impl's old skin colors; we both wanted brown and ended up having to rework the characters into having paler tones.

@A Wee Tiefling Adhara's Iplehouse Scarlet head actually has a more mischievous/sultry smile, but a month or two ago I did a boo-hoo that chipped her blushing at the temple, so out she went for repairs.

@Havra I saw his doll profile! One could recognize a Nicholas almost anywhere. That poor sculpt doesn't get too much love, prolly because his official promo pics aren't the best. Yours certainly shows how good he can be!

 

@Isabeau Thanks--I like that-- 'delightfully sinister'. It suits his personality well.

@Mahgiep Thank you. It took me almost a week working in short bursts whenever I found time. It's the most skin texture I've ever done, but I feel it was worth it. I'm so in love with him.

@AntarelNefertili And yet I wish I could send a love letter to his sculptor. Thought they've become a little more prevalent now, Nicolas was one of the first attempts at a mature male I'd seen, and the balance of stylization and realism is really spot-on for what I look for even now.

 

@Havra He is incredible. And I get a bit of Unknown Armies vibes from him. That or Lucifer.
