SartoriaJ Mini Part II

I juuust noticed that sartoriaj does not include eyes with some of the dolls(at least with msd matias that i ordered). So I have to pick a pair, I am wondering, what size of eyes looks best on their man dolls? On their website sell 10mm eyes with 4mm iris and 8mm eyes with 4mm iris. I have 8mm eyes in mind that I like, but I am afraid to get those, because on their website they have only one pair, would it be too small and I should aim for 10mm?
Also, I feel that maybe 3mm iris would actually look better than 4 but idk

 

@Fyrwenn - I have 8mm 3mm/iris in this Matias for your comparison. You probably could do a slightly larger eye. These were what I had on hand at the time and didn't bother to change them.

Thank you so much! This helps a lot. It looks like I can safely go for 3-4mm iris and 8-10mm eye
Now I just need to find some quality eyes of dark brown colour around this size...When I started i didn't expect this hobby would involve so much research But it is fun!

 

Anyone got any pics of Eleanor? I just found her second hand in my country and snapped her up! So, I'd love to see some pics of her and see the different ways she's been styled

 

I asked the same by email and Jay answer was:

"Unfortunately 1/4 Daphne body will be released with different head.
Teen Claire is just for 1/3 size."

I hope that if there are more people interested in Teen Claire they consider doing her.

 

First dollie pic in a long time! I changed my Demian's wavy wig for a straight one. While it has some poofing issues, I think he looks better than he did before.

I'm disappointed they are releasing teen Claire in this size but I'm excited to see who they do release!

 

Three vampire dolls have just been released for Halloween - Oscar, Benedict and Kate! Each come with a choice of a vampire head or regular head, or you can buy both heads! Also, Kate is on the 1/4 version of the Daphne body, so that answers the question of who will be released with it - she's very cute! And also there is limited Pale Moon (light grey I think?) skin!

I am so super excited about this and spent all day refreshing the sale page until all the choices were up (they come in SD size too) - and I've now bought Oscar with both heads in rosewater skin - yay!!!! I liked all three but he was the one who really spoke to me. I'll have to see what bodies might work for a hybrid (suggestions welcome?) but I'll wait until he arrives since I've once again overspent. I absolutely can't wait until he arrives except actually it will be months so I'll have to! I also got a custom face-up for the vampire head so he hopefully looks like a different character, and the Oscar face up for the human head - they are sooooo pretty!

Oh, and there's a 20% discount if you buy all three dolls (extra heads optional), which is certainly a tempting option!

So - anyone else tempted?!

 

I am safe, barely. I really like human Kate's face. She looks dolly but not sweet, which makes her more interesting, I would love to have her as some spoiled rich heiress character But, I am still in control on not overspending, and I am waiting for a doll from Sartoriaj already, so no new ones for now. Benedict and Oscar are very handsome too, I would love to see the looks doll owners will come up for them, there is a lot of potential to these sculpts to be stunning not only as vampires.

 

Luckily I'm not tempted by the new girl. Kinda disappointed that the teen head isn't a younger version of an already existing sculpt but since I'm waiting on Evelyn and I welcomed home Eleanor this week it's probably for the best!

Anyway Eleanor is now styled. She pinched the eyes meant for Evelyn and will have to give them back in a few months .

 

She's gorgeous!!! And they are indeed lovely eyes, I can see why she stole them!

 

And after a short wait I got my Matias
I will upload more pics, unboxing and a small review later when I have energy, but for now here is the face up close up.

Omg the eyebrows are everything here, photos doesn't do them justice lol And amber beige is such a lovely skintone I don't regret paying extra.
For the face up - colours do look less saturated than promo pictures and there is a bit less details, I guess the pictures are from SD Matias and they didn't translate everything to msd. And I wish they defined teeth a bit better, but its only noticeable if you shine direct light to his face like on my photo and look closely.
But that's my only critiques, I tried to find flaws to show expectation and reality. In person Matias look stunning and lifelike, I would recommend getting a face up from sartoriaj, even if not perfect like promo photos it is great.

 

@Fyrwenn I got the SD Matias and the teeth are not defined. The dark line under the top lip is softer but otherwise the face ups are similar. I will try to get a picture tomorrow.

 

That will be great! Pls post!
Meanwhile, one more photo of Matias from my phone camera roll, more flattering this time, cause I didn't zoom into, like, every pore He looks so hot.

@Fyrwenn Hot indeed!!

 

@Fyrwenn - Oh congratulations! Your Matias is gorgeous!

 

Thanks everyone :3
And here is full body photo of Matias next to Racoondoll Henry(the only other adult msd i have) to show proportions. As people noticed here, Sartoriaj guys do have bigger head, so same wigs might not fit.

Oh wow he is so handsome!!! And thanks so much for taking the comparison pic, that's so super useful to see - I had no idea Raccoondoll were so much taller?! And SartoriaJ are already very tall!!! Wow!!!

In other news - SartoriaJ have just added to the "Eternity" (vampire) sale - Freya is MSD has just also been released, and there are new bundles to check out now there's an extra doll! Also the outfits are amazing but only in SD size unfortunately.

 

@Fyrwenn oh. my. gosh! Matias is amazingly hot in amber beige! Congrats!

I also had no idea Raccoondoll mean were so much taller? I honestly thought SartoriaJ men were the most tall, they stand quite a bit taller than an FID man. Very useful to know!

 

Yeah Raccoondoll doll is taller and his legs are longer because of the knee joint. Also, he is amazing at posing, he can do things Matias can't dream of, like bending his arm and touching his chin Matias can't pose to save his life, but he is so hot so whatever

Oh and that's good to know for me, I didn't know FIDs are the shortest ones.
