I’d like to see a photo of the two blue heads in a regular colour too - I love the blue, but it’s not for me, and it’s hard to see the sculpt details or imagine it in a regular colour! Well, not that I’d be getting a new doll this time anyway, but I’d still like to see! Speaking of bodies… has anyone ever tried a Sartoriaj head on a FID muscle body? It’s too big for the Model neck, but wondering about the Muscle one? I have my Oscar coming with two heads, and I might need to get him an extra body!
Annnnnd I've just placed an order for s Stella on the APH body with a custom face up. I try not to buy dolls I don't get instant must have vibes from, the weird thing is that when I first saw her I knew I had to buy her but then I went back and forth a few dozen times. So, here's hoping I made the right decision! I'd really love to get some horns for her, does anyone know of a place that sells them for this size?
Ooh congratulations!!! Hmm, Resinsoul sell a head with horns, they might agree to sell them separately? They’re pretty helpful like that! Leekeworld also sell horns, and you can usually find people that make them on Etsy too if you search, although I can’t think of any specific sellers right now.
@morganatron thanks for the suggestions! I'll definitely check out Resinsoul and Leekeworld! Yeah, I'm on etsy quite a lot and haven't come across anyone who makes horns but I haven't specifically searched horns most times I just search bjd. I know when I first started out in the hobby there used be quite a few people who made things like horns but there doesn't seem to be as many now? Or maybe I'm not looking in the right places.
I just had a look and if you do a search for “BJD horns” a fair few come up - good luck!!! I’m sure there’s more BJD companies that sell them too, maybe someone else can think of some?
@morganatron I've found some that come close to what I want. I really wish SartoriaJ did them in the 1/4 size.
Edit to add: I just got my invoice Does SartoriaJ still send out an invoice when payment is due? I placed my order on the 30th and asked for layaway. I've had a reply basically giving a thumbs up but they haven't sent the invoice for the first payment. Has anyone else received an invoice?
Yes. I just got my invoice and it was a day after the 'yay! you ordered a doll!' notice. So it's coming.
Got this dress for Christmas and Yu got first dibs. Trying to take more pictures of my dolls but it's so difficult. Does anyone have any tips?
Lighting is important and you can do it surprisingly cheaply. I mostly use my sewing lamp and some of those ringlights that are meant to clip on your phone for selfies which I got at my local pound shop. Paper works as a decent cheap light diffuser
Yes, lighting is very important. You want light from several directions so you don't get dark shadows behind the doll. I also recommend no flash.
Thanks! I'll look into a ringlight! @nancy_schroeder_ca thanks, I'll try that. Yeah, I never use flash.
I ALSO recommend a phone sized ringlight. I got tired of one of my bjds photograph being inconsistent and displaying his resin color inaccurately. He's not a Sartoria J, but the Sartoria J resins look pretty.
Hi all, I’m wondering if anyone here has a Joshua. Looking to get a fashion size boy from IH, SartoriaJ or Raccoon but can’t decide on the sculpt although I’ve narrowed the list down. Although not as blatantly handsome as a few on my list Joshua seems to have a bit more resemblance to a particular person in some of the photos on their site but I’d like to see owner pics if possible to help make up my mind about him.
@Blodeuwedd - I have an Elf Joshua in PC resin. His nose is definitely his prominent feature. Kjeld by luluna33, on Flickr
@luluna thank you so much for this! He’s amazing and coincidentally that’s exactly what I was aiming for and the skin tone I’d choose which makes this photo even more helpful! I think his nose lends to the aloof aura elves sometimes exude. Do they have a particular time of year they release the elven versions or is it a case of wait and see if they do?
@Blodeuwedd - Oh, I'm glad seeing him was helpful! He does have a glorious nose. Quite epic. I haven't noticed a time of year when they do the elves...it's hard to predict. I noticed right now everything is 'sold out'. I don't remember that before. Maybe he got lots of holiday orders and will wait till mid-January for whatever he offers...next. Maybe then some of the sculpts will be made available.
