Hello everyone! I see this thread doesn't get much attention, but I just wanted to pop in and ask a few questions. I finally was able to get my Mono looking how I imagined, but I have him on one of the older DollZone bodies. I'm considering leaving him as a hybrid, but that Limhwa body is so perfect for the character's body type. So, how is the posing? Do they only offer a single jointed version or could I order a double jointed one? Thanks ahead of time for the info! Here's a quick shot of Evgeni for you guys.
Ohh...he looks lovely! There's only the single-jointed body for Mono, but the posing isn't bad for a single-jointed body as long as it's strung reasonably tightly. The body is somewhat limited, but the elbows and knees have lovely range of motion for single joints. The torso does tend to "slump" a bit and the body doesn't sit completely straight (at least Beau doesn't) but he can stand solidly after restringing. The torso is far heavier than the legs, so it makes him a bit top-heavy. The thicker the elastic you can get in there, the more solid he'll be. The range of motion of the neck/head is absolutely beautiful. I made this body review thread a while ago. It might help answer some of your questions.
That actually sums it all up for me really well! Thanks so much Sapphire. I can always count on you to have all the answers. I think I'll keep him on the DZ body for a little while longer. Plus, I don't think Limhwa offers just bodies without the head, do they? I could always order a whole new doll and have a pre and post-fight face-up. Hmmmm.... I'm so impressed with the mono sculpt. No two look alike. That's so awesome!
hahaha...if only I did have all the answers. I'm really glad I could help you with this one, though! I don't think you can order just the bodies, but then again, I haven't asked. When I got Beau, it was head and body together.
My James got some new eyes this week, Eyeco Liz Ultra in 11mm. (I also got some Louisiana Iris eyes, but I love these so much, I think those will get saved for another doll). Here he's hanging out with Gavin, my JID Owen who also got new eyes. Now that I figured out (sort of) how to place these, I love them! There's more of these two on Tumblr.
Loving his new eyes as well! I've been a bit evil recently and put Varekai in a wig I have for another doll recently - and it looks both horrible wrong and somehow right at the same time xD
Its been awhile since there's been new Mono spam. This isn't the best photo, but James is finally settling into his resin style and I'm pretty excited about it (I even made him a necklace after this). I made everything he's wearing (minus wig and eyes). Gallery thread here (that has the necklace too!). Gosh, I love making things for my boys.
Your boys are cool !! Here my new boy ! I just finished is face-up He is so photogenic ! Im very happy with him ^^ His name is Alban
Youpla He's so handsome! And finally, got a pic of Varekai again, my poor neglected boy (kidding, he's so spoiled - waiting on a full outfit by nezumitoo and a wig by eclipse21).
Youpla He's such a handsome boy and I love his new clothes! And I might have just ordered a second tan Mono. Purely for scientific reasons of course (to figure out how much Varekai has turned green) xD
He's pretty olivegreen when you see him irl The new boy will prolly get a tattoo all over his head (to save me the hassle of finding a fitting wig) and maybe get a goatee to be some sort of Varekais evil younger brother :3
