Obsessed with another owner's doll?

I can`t recall any particular owner at the moment , but I know there have been a few.
Okay , I just remamberd! It`s a Zaoll Luv , a very special girl owned by an artist on dA I adore the way she is styled ,and adore looking at her pics, but I would never whant to copy ! i love zaolls , and have one myself , but mine is a Muse , and WAYYY different.this is only a example.
It has happen to me with other dolls to.But I wouldn`t ever try to copy one`s doll, because it just wouldn`t feel like it was mine . If I see a doll that I uterly love up for sale on the MP , I would buy it though.
And, if I saw an owner`s bjd and fell in love with the sculpt , I would buy the sculpt and make it my own. I have done that before with my Leeke world Mihael. i just saw a person owning him one day and just fell in love with his face.But that`s different I guess.

 

For a long time I was completely in love with Oso_Polar's Katherine. Just look at her. Mostly I just love Oso_Polar's photography.
I also adore Xhanthi's Fable and Jeni Bunny's Kokoro. Xhanthi actually made me really want a pair of pupiless eyes. I might copy certain elements of a doll that I like, but I wouldn't go so far as to copy the entire character. It would just be so wrong.

 

I defiantly get obsesses with others dolls:

JinCIncy and Quirked's Iplehouse crews for sure. I want over 15 Iplehouse dolls myself (to shell all my characters) and they are my inspiration.

Also, Sofay's JID I, Jasper who is so cute and quirky. And of course, Mendokusai's whole FL crew. I mean who couldn't be obsessed with her dolls after seeing her amazing photo-story soap operas?

Haha what's funny though is I have never had a conversation with mendo and have only had a small chat with JinCIncy after complimenting one of her photo shoots. lol I'm sure neither one of them know I stock their live journals, flickrs, and galleries.

 

One of my best friends has the cutest little DollZone Fey. We call him my nephew and he comes over for sleepovers with my doll gang. I admit to playing favorites with him all the time.

 

I am totally in love with Ivory Stardust's boy, Spencer (BBD Waltz). She's well aware of this. lol I've threatened to kidnap him a time or two, but I wouldn't really seriously steal a doll.

But I do get to claim him as my "son-in-law", and he is currently visiting me, since he's married to my DZ Mo-B hybrid, Loki!

Also, Spencer is what made me decide to get a BBD though I got a Valentine and his looks and personality are nowhere even close to Spencer's.

 

Some times~ BUT i love my dolls better, this for sure~

 

I definitely get obsessed with other owners dolls, its easier for me to see something I like than to create one. It definitely gives me inspiration on dressing and wigging my dolls.

 

it has happen to me but then i have to tell myself to get my own!

 

I was/still am a little obsessed with an owner's doll, the DOT Lahoo from DOD. I didn't want to get a SD size BJD before but I really fell in love with her custo. For me, it's the perfect custo for this doll and it gave me the idea to get this model ^^
But after seriously thinking about it I realized that if I had a Lahoo I would customize it like the owner's one and I think I wouldn't feel my new doll like being completely mine because of that, as if it was not my projet or my character, but the owner's one, even it it was not exactly the same. In fact I think that I would live this as having made a copy, and it would make me uneasy about my doll so I think (on my own case and opinion) that it's worthless to act this way if it's not to appreciate the doll for itself.
More, I guess I would have been disappointed even if I could make the exact copy of the owner's character that I love, because it always would be "just" a copy, and not real one.
So I decided not to get my dream doll without having a real and personnal project, a character to project on it

 

Right now, I'm obsessed with Lyn_R's Gideon (IH Felix) I adore looking at pictures of him. With that said, I strongly dislike the Felix mold. It's just what Lyn has done to hers that makes me like him. I wouldn't want a felix for myself. Even if he looked like Lyn's. I think it's nice to admire someone elses dolls. I have to admit though, the more I like the doll, the more interested in the owner I become.

 

I don't know who owns him but I fell absolutely in love with a Minimee Cloud Strife. I wanted him so bad and would just pine over his pictures all the time. He was so beautiful. I finally decided just not to look at him anymore or even think about Cloud Strife just so I would get over the fact that he would never be mine. I guess it worked cause I haven't thought about till I read this thread. ^__^

 

I saw a doll (actually 2) that I thought were the most beautiful faces I have ever seen. (Face-ups have alot to do with the look of a doll) I keep watching the Marketplace, hoping at some point in time someone will want to sell their IH Efreet and Naisas NS. (I can't wait too long. I'm 75 years old and do not have years to wait for them)But I will hang in there!!!!!

 

solarcanta's Zita (Iplehouse Carina) and lyn_r's Gideon (Iplehouse Felix). Two sculpts that I already loved with beautiful faceups and amazing style. I am jealous of both of you :P

 

Hee, there is this one doll that one of the girls in my doll group has named Aiden. He is adorable, and everyone is in love with him. Everyone but his owner, that is. He is never leaving the group though. I'm pretty sure every one of the 20-30 doll owners here in Portland have offered to buy him if she ever feels like selling, myself included.

 

Totally agrees! Her Felix totally blew me away! There are definitely a few that Im in luv with. Byouyuuken's williams, Yagamijo's Hijikata, Whippy's Luts Abadon.

 

Nope. I like to see what creative people can do with a sculpt, and I certainly have a fondness for a lot of my friends' dolls, but I'm not obsessed. I feel like if I don't love my own the most I'm doing it wrong, so my "obsession" is more about getting the perfect shot, making the perfect outfit, etc for my own dolls.

 

I sometimes fall in love with other people's dolls, mostly because the face up is so gorgeous. That kinda brings interest, and make me want to see more of that doll and how other owners customized theirs.
I've fell in love with a few dolls, and I hope some day I can be in love with own dolls.

 

Inspired for sure!!! but then I bring some of that to my own doll and normally a bit extra and am even more happy than I would be if that doll arrived in box at my door. Thats the whole creative side of this doll thing. Though mostly I am inspired by the sculpts and not he makeup so much.

 

I really, really like Karanthir, who is an Elf El. (Am, her Prince & Vamp stories, which I really love LOL) However, even tho I've thought about getting that El special (where you get the 2 heads, etc) I doubt I ever will, because it is the face-up & the character I love. I've my own characters, none of which involve an El sculpt. So I just check out her photo stories to see what Karanthir's up to ~ha~

 

candygears' Mr. Have and Clean Slate are just gorgeous. They're really along the style I like in art and are so unusual that they caught my attention instantly. If she ever sold them, you bet I'd be the first to bite!
