Wah, that's so many dolls [MENTION=42740]PeppermintPocky[/MENTION]! Having such a big group must be lovely. Are there any matches to Only-Doll's normal pink resin in your crew? I'd like to get jointed hands for all my dolls, if possible. Especially for my KDF Basil someday. (I know Luts offers different hands, but I'd really like jointed ones.)
Thanks, @Ceri-Ethereal. And yes, I'm blessed to have so many dolls. Luckily I tend to fall for those made by obscure/"cheaper" companies (although $200 is *still* hard for me to come by atm) so that helps. I'll double check the XuanYan I'm working on; she's a few years old and I think she mellowed while she was with her first owner so any comparisons I may find for you may not be 100% accurate. Off the top of my head I'm sure she doesn't match my Mystic Kids NS-P girl BUT she may be close to my Dikadoll NS-P, Doll Love NS-P, or Angel Fantasy's old NS-P.
@Ceri-Ethereal I compared the XuanYan's headcap to my dolls and it's a very close match to my 2013 Doll Love NS-P and 2013 Dikadoll NS-P. Neither my Doll Love boy or Dikadoll girl is yellowed at all. I hope this helps you!
Thank you so much, [MENTION=42740]PeppermintPocky[/MENTION]! I'll be sure to keep that in mind for when my girl needs some proper hands. How interesting. I read somewhere that Dikadoll's pink resin (for their jointed hands) matched well with Mystic Kids. Yet, Mystic Kids doesn't match well with Only-Doll. Could your Dikadoll have been a different batch color?
That's possible, @Ceri-Ethereal; my Dikadoll and Mystic Kids are two years apart (one is from 2013 and the other is from 2015) so that may explain the difference. Mystic Kids wouldn't be a *bad* match by any means, but the MK girl I have is a shade pinker. Also, this XuanYan was made in 2012 and she's mellowed a bit; a new Only-Doll in NS-P may match Mystic Kids perfectly. Would you like me to take a photo of the headcaps together? I'd be happy to if that would help. --- ETA: My Tingyun was in a group shot I took the other day so I figured I share the photo here: Ice Cream Social by Mint, on Flickr
Wow! What a lovely photo! Your dolls are beautiful. [MENTION=42740]PeppermintPocky[/MENTION] Both my Only-Doll and Mystic Kids arrived in March this year. The two of them are normal pink, yet Only-Doll's has a far more yellow color. (I really hope I wasn't given normal yellow on accident.) They're nowhere near a match. Hmm. Perhaps she'll get pinker with age? (I doubt it, but I suppose it's possible.) That would be so kind of you if you could, so sorry for being a bother.
Thanks, @Ceri-Ethereal. I was pretty happy with how that photo turned out. Hmm. Maybe Only-Doll NS-P is just naturally more yellow? I know my Angel Fantasy NS-P gal has more yellow than other NS-P tones (interestingly enough Angel Fantasy has since changed their NS-P to make it "more pink"). And you're not a bother at all so please don't apologize. ETA: NS-P Comparison photos. Please click on them to see what brand is what. This one has Only-Doll in the middle so you can easily compare it to other resins: and this is just a side-by-side:
It's awfully expressive. Love the outfits, too! Perhaps it is. I'd like to think so. Thank you again [MENTION=42740]PeppermintPocky[/MENTION]!
So I tried painting XuanYan and I'm sorta-kinda happy with how she turned out since she's only my second face-up attempt. Like, could-be-worse happy. You can find a photo here: http://www.denofangels.com/forums/s...ease-help-me-improve!?p=11584291#post11584291 She really is a sweet sculpt and I had fun painting her. I need to get better, though!
Wow, so much talent [MENTION=42740]PeppermintPocky[/MENTION]! I'm sure you'll only get better and better, as that faceup is gorgeous already!
Just noticed you added those resin comparisons too, thank you so much! [MENTION=42740]PeppermintPocky[/MENTION] From what I can tell, that Dika Doll resin is the best match, right? I had no idea. They really do seem similar.
Thanks, @Ceri-Ethereal! I'm determined to make her beautiful. Just need to practice my lineart. And yes, Dikadoll NS-P is a very close match and so is Doll-Love NS-P.
I can tell you that I own two different Dikadolls one from 2014 and the other 2015. They aren't to different, but they match Dollzone pretty well. *was wondering through some forums*
The weather's great in my area so I've been painting XuanYan a lot lately. Her outfit is 95% complete, I bought her a HUGE wig and found a pair of eyes, to boot. Can't wait to share her look with you soon. If anyone is interested in seeing the face-up I'm sticking with, you can view it here.
Finished the Xuanyan I've been working on for the past few months. Sent her to my friend as an early Christmas gift and he absolutely loves her! (I was nervous---never made a BJD for someone else before!) Anyway, I took a few photos of her before I shipped her to her new home. Thought I'd share them here to help others considering the sculpt. Here's Heather in all her late '80s glory: Character Portrait: Heather by Mint, on Flickr Will post more pictures soon.
anyone know whether tiny body version 1 or 2 is better? any comparison photos? also which is better for clothing? thank you
Hi @naftie! If you have questions about the 26cm range, I recommend you ask owners in the Tiny OD thread here. This is the Mini OD thread. I only have had OD dolls in the mini 1/4 scale, so I can't help compare the tiny bodies. Sorry.
Been awhile since anyone posted here so I guess I'll go ahead and spam my Only-Doll Tingyun: No changes since I bought him in 2011 but I still love him to bits. Wish I'd see more of his sculpt around.
