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.

Soom :: [MD/Oct] Alk & Yrie - Birdie windie

Oct 21, 2009

    1. I had no idea what an Alkonost was either, but it turns out to be rather interesting stuff. I thought the mythology would be more threatening, as most mythological composites tend to be kind of scary/deadly (lamia; sirens; harpies; et cetera), but it seems pretty clement -- not that I really know much about it. But here you are:

      and they sing too:

      I think these birdy kiddies are perfect for Alkonosts! Did you know they were linked to Kingfishers? Kingfisher plumage is amazing -- lots of promise for the artists around here! (Take a look at what Miss Ally has done with her birdie windie for an example!)
       
    2. Myriddin! When I saw Edward Elric in your sig. I was like: It's Edward Elric - FullMetal Alkchemist! :doh Sad-sad-sad!
       
    3. YEAH!!! SOOM just told me that my little FUllset Alk will be shipped on the 21st of January :D :D :D
       
    4. My little Yrie is going to be a hybrid too!:)
      The current plan is to stick her head on the complete Ai body, and POSSIBLY add the wings too - I really want to add the wings, but I don't know how well the blushing is going to match just yet as I have the Soom blushing on everything. We'll see!
       
    5. Chin up, Midnite! You should at least try them and take lots of pictures for the ravening hordes -- and there's always touching up the wings with some brushes and some chalk pastel, right? Good to see you, btw!
