Soom MD October: Nephelin – Sacred Vow

IF we shall discuss only about to buy nephelin,or when place her in layaway,or how raise the funds to place her in layaway then the discussion would be a complete lack of interest for me.
I would rather prefer to read and share any different opinions,but seems that no one likes to do that.

Then since everyone besides me, and i $avage i suppose, find this discussion interesting only for the above reason then due to my complete disinterestedness i'm not interest to talk about this MD no more.

I really don't see how different opinion could be considered offensive,since no one here had offence towards another one,or harmful towards soom.
And i think that everyone have the right to express freely their own opinion,and the ones whos got mad or angry here aren't the people whos expressed a different and opposite opinion.

Stay and enjoy
Bye Bye.

 

ME TOO! I have been so caught up in the photo shopped pictures and reading this "personal opinion debate" I didn't really see her true colors. In my head she was lavenders and ice pinks. I love the pink and green though. Thanks for pointing it out! LOL

 

That is a great idea! I'd love to see her in purples and greens. And "layawake" is a great way to describe my own experience too... I think I drove my fiance insane last night by saying "Oh man! I want her so badly!!" every 2 minutes last night as we tried to go to sleep. Let's hope I get the job so I can put her on layaway ASAP!

 

I was dreaming about her last night and the night before. I even found a set of Topaz ears that I can use for her to make my dream complete. It's almost scary how much I want her because I wasn't expecting a large dolly purchase for the rest of the year!

I think I'll hold off until midnitestar7 is able to take pictures in the Soom store. I know Soom is guilty of over-photoshopping their pictures, so I want to make sure that face sculpt is actually what I really want and not another Cuprit for me (Cuprit for me = "omg so pretty must buy and leave on shelf and never touch because she's so pretty!!"--to me this is a waste of a doll...)

My main concern now is the faceup. It might suit the character I'm buying her for, all except for the light color eyelashes. Does anyone know if Soom would be willing to give her black eyelashes upon request? Or are the Soom MD faceups non-negotiable? I can give her black eyelashes myself of course, but if I pay fifty bucks for her faceup I worry about damaging it when I remove her stock lashes.

 

Anneke: I think your idea sounds brilliant. Topaz ears would be lovely on a dragon type lady! I would like something like that too. I might be driven to try my first real mod. I love the horns too so I would have to do something smaller that would work with them.
I never like light eyelashes. I am going to tackle that when she comes. I will probably be enhanceing her faceup anyway. I like just a little more color in my girls faces. I think it makes the white skin look even whiter to have higher cheek color. It is going to be so much fun to see what everyone does with her!

 

In the wig styling pictures you can see her face a bit better without the photoshopping. I think she's still very beautiful, but I agree with the light colored eyelashes, I think that's what was throwing me off a bit but just couldn't put my finger on it.

 

I agree she looks lovely in the un-photoshopped pictures, but I love her light eyelashes. But they are really my thing . I can definitely see how people wouldn't care for them tho.

I am so excited for this doll its crazy! I had a dream about her last night. I think I'm becoming a bit obsessed haha.

 

Perhaps you could request that they either use black lashes, or to please not install her eyelashes. It would be one less thing for them to do that way, so I do not see why they would fuss over it. Of course if they have everything standardized and cannot make any changes, I guess that is what they have to do in order to keep up with making the dolls and I would understand that as well.

 

She is really a beautiful doll. It's very sad that I will probably never afford her!! But she's lovely to look at! I especially love her dragon feet and wings. The dress is so incredible as well...GAH. I hope whoever purchases her enjoys her immensely! ^__^ I could probably just stare at her all day frankly!!!

How weird! I didn't even register that there was green in the face-up. Seems so... on the top lid maybay. Hm. You can see it on the creature-feet (Soom is amazing), but, jeeze -- karleecakes has some good eyes. Plus, this whole nonsense debate no longer strikes me to be about 'personal opinion' rather than ego. Happens to the best of us, but it won't matter if we're all respectful and we keep in mind we're all Soom fans! <-- chocolate for Soom and for Soom fans! Speaking of which, Lace Princess, I think that, with a nice pale backdrop of her resin, lavendar would work great! Pink is a gimme. She's just so pearly to begin with! I wish I were any good with PhotoShop to shop up some of these pics. Lol!

 

My god she is so beautiful, I really wish I could afford her since I would want the full set, saw pictures of her early and my jaw hit the floor.

 

She sure does have that effect. When I saw her I was so happy I couldn't talk

 

Boy, I wish she came with a sudden and persistent bump in my pay cheque.

 

She really is fabulous... If I were into getting girls, she'd totally be in my Soom Shopping Cart. I see her going all to well with Sphaler or Monzo (since she seems to have aspects of both)...

...

You know, I bet she'd be a hot boy. Hmm... *ponders*

 

So is there a waiting room for her yet? I haven't bought her just yet but I'm curious to see everyone's plans for her.

 

Anneke: waiting room for her is over here: http://www.denofangels.com/forums/s...-Nephelin-Sacred-Vow-Pella-World-Beyond/page3 come, join us.

 

My husband keeps telling me to buy her too >.< I dunno about this one. She's cool but I had so many other plans for dolls. She would be a whole new project. I was already very happy with the ones I already had planned. Argg, stupid Soom XD

 

I want her soo bad , but there is something about her face that is throwing me off and i think its the eyelashes and the eyebrows, i dont like that color, I think black would be better. Should i get her without a face up or should I? GAAAAH!! idk what to do!

 

I definitely plan to get her. How I'm going to pull that off, and the specifics, are still up in the air. But she has to come home.

My thoughts on the Soom MDs are fairly complicated. I don't know how many people have heard that old advice about 'put all the accessories on, and just before you step out the door, take one thing off' about fashion and accessorizing? I actually feel that way about most of the MD fullsets -- that there's one part that they'd be perfect without. But here's the thing: the way I picture the doll is going to be different than someone else, so which one thing it is won't be the same for me as it is for someone else. Sometimes it's easy: there's some specific part I don't like, so that is the one I'd leave off.

For me, on Nephelin, I'm definitely passing on the boots. No clue on the rest, though I won't be going for the bodyblushing simply because I won't get it without sanding and those two combined are half the cost of another whole doll. For something that, no matter how well done, is impermanent, I can't quite justify it to myself when money is tight.

The wings, well, I like them, though not actually 'as shown', even if I don't see anything wrong with them that way either. I just like them better the way I see them in my head: I want to use a metalcoat on them, to make them into some kind of foundation for a ceremonial cloak or armor piece, rather than as organic wings. The sculpting just seems more suited to that purpose to my eye than it is to organic wings, but that's because that's where my imagination takes the bits and pieces of this MD.

Other people are going to see it differently, and that just seems... well, I always thought that was a good thing? The coolest part about the MDs, to me, is that you get all these extra nifty pieces to use to mix and match if you want to. If those parts don't appeal, you don't need to use them. (And can usually sell them on or come to some other arrangement in the MP that makes people happy.) I guess I just don't get what the drama is? To me, this stuff is common sense. So, I know what I want to do with my girl when I can get her. I'd love to hear about what other ideas people have about what to do with her or her bits and pieces. (The fun part!)

 

Her face is absolutely beautiful!!!! TT
