Souldoll Vito (50cm) Discussion - Part 4

awww :-)
vermont chick thank you so much for this. I see it coming- my girls gonna struggle for Lester´s love

 

My Lester likes Zaoll

 

Thanks alot! )))

 

Think am gonna check Lester again. He is a kind of longtime-love

 

Hello everyone! I just recently got my sandy brown Edmund in the mail last week. He arrived a lot sooner than I was expecting, judging from the waiting list. Got his proper wig and eyes in the mail yesterday, which he looks terribly cute with. Just sent his head out to be painted--really hoping he'll be home when my friend comes up to town in June/July. Planning on turning him into Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach since I'm such a terrible nerd. Been looking up tutorials on how to make a hakama..

 

@Singull congrats on your boys~ he looks cool and perfect to be ichigo

 

@larva-zax Thanks! I was a little unsure about him at first, but once I got his proper wig cut and styled he looked perfect. I can't wait to see him when he's painted! So dang psyched! I'm also excited to do some clothes shopping for him too. For once, my taste in mens' casual clothing won't be entirely OOC for one of my male dolls.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing you transform him into Ichigo (big bleach fan here). I've only got 4 boys (2 SD, 2 MSD) who do the modern clothes thing and oddly enough, they're the ones with the least amount of outfits. I think it's because I'm never quite satisfied with the look of what I sew for them as far as jeans and shirts go.

 

can I ask about sandy and how brown/tan is actually is? it always seems a bit washed out in pics but that could just be pics. Does anyone happen to have any kind of comparison to other tans? cheers.

 

@Iron_Dog Hopefully I won't disappoint! xD I imagine if I can at least get myself to successfully make his hakama, then it'll be smooth sailing from there. Pants are always such a challenge. xD;;
Pretty much all of my dolls dress in modern clothes, but the boys I currently have usually stick to more toned down styles and colors, which I find very difficult to be happy with since I love BRIGHT colors and cool fashions. P:

@purple_monkfish Sandy brown isn't actually all that dark in person. It's spot on for what I wanted, but it's definitely on the pale side for people that might want something more on the darker brown side. It is definitely sandy brown. I'm at work right now so I can't take nicer lit pictures, but I have 2 pictures of my boy sitting around some of my other brown dolls.



And another group shot here.

 

The sandy brown looks really light compared to other tan dolls. I think if I didn't know he was sandy brown, I'd have assumed he was NY.

 

yeah it's a nice tone but not nearly tan enough for my needs. Neither is their brown tone, it's kinda greyish by the looks. Nice colour, but not what I need.
So I think that confirms that my better option is NS and a quicky wee dye bath.
No sense paying the extra if i'll have to tan it up more anyway.

Thanks for the pics! I need a tone more like the boy in the saturn/mars sweater lol.

 

Tan is such a variable in this hobby. I have 3 tan boys from 2 companies and despite 2 of them being from the same company (AoD), the tan of one boy's body is ever so slightly different from the other doll and head in tan (I got those at the same time while the tan body is likely a different, unknown, vintage). I like tan dolls but I also like them to be more tan than what SD seems to be producing. That's probably a good thing for me as it's less tempting to me. Thankfully, they also severely limit the grey/coloured resin they do otherwise I'd be in very serious trouble as I have a wicked weakness for grey and coloured resin.

 

Has anyone customised a Freya doll? I've just put my down payment on her and I can't find any pictures on custom faceups!

 

Guys! I was at Doll North this weekend past and I brought Ra-Sui (Azareal skull head) to see if there were any eyes available that spoke to me for him. There was somebody there with a fully painted version! The face-up was all kinds of amazing and I wish I'd brought my camera to take a pic of the two of them together (totally forgetting at the time that I have a camera on my phone *head desk*). The lady with the painted version was pretty excited to see my guy even if he is just a head and unpainted right now and took a pic of them together. I'm not sure if she's part of my local doll group but that would be freaky cool if she was.

She was also kind enough to let me stand Rhas-Khan (ID51) next to her boy so I could see in real life what they looked like together (Rhas-Khan's partner is Eilam, the Rail sculpt). I'm thrilled with how they looked together as far as body size/proportion and I'm even more excited to get Eilam home now (as soon as my doll funds recover *sigh*).

 

Oh god you must have seen Salem Sisterhood's Azrael @Iron_Dog! He is frikking fantastic! (albeit his face was modded beforehand for the skull part to be more pronounced). Seeing him always makes me long for my poor Azrael

 

Yes, she mentioned that he'd been modded to be more... skull-ish. Thanks for providing a name to his owner for me @Roterwolkenvogel

 

I got the Dollmore Zaoll outfit for my Freya and it fits her just fine.
