1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

SartoriaJ Mini Part II

Aug 19, 2023

    1. Same, Galdren's dragon face looks more appealing to me too - he turns into a really hot dragon! But his tiny chick.. i mean dragon feet look a bit funny:sweat imho, they should have gone all the way like loong soul and made feet more dragony or not at all, just kept human feet and slaped some shiny scales on them.
       
    2. I think Mive’s dragon face has a few differences but they’re so minuscule you need a microscope to see them. Her cheeks look thinner/sharper (you can see it on the 3/4 profile comparisons), her eyes are narrower and brow marginally lower and more pronounced. I could be totally wrong, I could have been looking so hard I convinced myself but to me she appears to be more defined and expressive. I find human Mive rather vapid and insipid.

      I agree with everyone’s comments about how they could have added a tail and designed more reptilian feet. I’m guessing though that they’re so used to dealing with sculpting beautiful humans that they struggled coming up with a foot design that was stable and delicate. Probably for the tail too. It maybe just got too complicated so they cut their losses. I do love how they’ve given us a glimpse into the development too including some of the problems.

      The reveal kind of gave me the same feeling that I got playing FFXIV (Final Fantasy XIV online) when the dragon race Au Ra were finally introduced. They had a teaser in the form of a character who had horns and a scaled tail but kept her face and limbs hidden under clothing. I imagined all sorts of exciting things regarding her appearance but was incredibly disappointed to find that essentially the Au Ra were very human looking. They had scaled patches on the face, arms and legs, a tail, horns and eyes with noticeable limbal rings and that was it.

      The butt wings are also a very common thing in Asia, again as an avid gamer I see that style a lot both on characters and on costumes. It’s odd looking to us Western folk especially from the UK and Europe where our dragons of lore are usually big and bulky with massive wings.

      I do love the colour combination they came up with, the purple on a warm brown base is incredibly beautiful.
       
    3. If Mive tries to fly with those wings, she would probably fall flat on her face ;)

      But overall she still looks impressive, even if it is not very practical ^^
