Dollightfully Devoured

aka What I've been calling my new Azone x Kinoko Juice Kikipop boy! ugly phone pic aside I'm really glad to have him home. His head isn't wobbly and his face up is fine, but he does have slightly weak knees, and the holes in his additional hands are too small for the hand peg (I barely got one hand on. The other hand still has some plastic in it, so I can't even try to fit the hand on the peg). But I can look passed those. His wig was fairly easy to ease off. There wasn't a lot of glue, so slow tugging got it off fine. His current wig is a Luts 'Commander of Blue Knights' Abadon wig, that was supposed to go to Eddy but ~wig plans changed~ so I've been holding on to it for a long while, haha. It's about 8-9in, which is a bit big, but it works. (Others find 7-8in a better fit.) like the rest of my dolls I gotta figure out an outfit for him (something rough, tough, and royal), but thankfully he's fully clothed!!

So I can totally add twist gel to Tibetan lamb fur to make neat little twists. I would not want to twist a full wig, but at least I know it's a thing I can do. I added a twist to Rich's wig, so they've got one nice, thin twist that curls a bit at the end. The next wig I have to work on is Pompeyo (Does he need a name change? I have a feeling I should change it *shrugs*), which will be interesting since I want it short and I've never taken scissors to any wig. I'll probably have to buy those little poster strips to replace the velcro that (kind of barely) holds on to my dolls' wigs. Those feel like they would be neater to work with, anyway. I will also need to get Rich eyes, soon, because them not having eyes bothers me. It's not bad but I want them to have eyes ASAP. I'll probably get a pair after this Taobao GO I'm in. I paid for 3 pairs of MSD shoes (wanted to get 4 but these sandals I wanted for Tiresias would've held back other orders)

Incoming doll, incoming Tibetan lamb fur, would have incoming shoes, but sliMSDs are such a pain to shop around for (Taobao came up with nothing reasonably sized, so eBay is sort of my only option (I know there's Etsy, but I want too much from too many Etsy stores, lol). I'm really digging the '17" Tonner Matt' shoes even though they're kind of big-ish. I get very particular about doll shoes, apparently). In the mean time, I'm going to be camping out on DreamSelfy and getting clothing ideas. And maybe sometime this week I'll actually start sewing? (I say this, but will it ever actually happen?) I kind of have to do some room cleaning, so if I can unearth my fabric and sewing tools, then I can make a mess of my living room - but at least I'll be doing something productive. Honestly, I can't wait to start using the lamb fur (Is it the same as mohair, or is mohair different?) I really like making wigs for my dolls, since I feel decent at it. ;P

Pictures are up on the Flickr and Tumblr, thank the gods. Some prompts were more difficult than others, but it's whatever. Got stuff done. 'Mail' was fun to do, because Topher (Soom Afi) was more mouthy than usual to Dez (B&G Eli-Imp). Topher's a sweet kid, but just bittersweet to Dez (because of silly back story reasons). This was also the first time I mentioned one of the adults/older characters from their doll-verse? (I think.) Vergil 'Venus' Adrom (Crobidoll Mikhail) is the guy that Dez and Topher came from, basically. Now this reminds me that one the dolls I wanted for Topher's adopted parents is going to be discontinued soon. I wanted one of his dads to be a DollZone Floy. ohwell. I tried my best to not go outside for 'Spring' or 'Green,' and I succeeded. I really wanted to use the word 'greenhorn' for 'Green,' but that would've required props for Hephaestus (MNF Chloe) that I don't have and didn't f

I haven't taken pictures for some weeks. :/ I got stuck on one of the prompts ('Math') and my drive took a nosedive. My birthday is coming up, so maybe I should take a bunch of pictures as one of many gifts to myself. I also haven't been making time to write about each prompt/shoot, but that's because I take some of the photos at godawful hours, and I don't want to make time to write. :") Lately I've been thinking (more) about getting Doll Chateau dolls. I added Douglas to my wish list  (My wish list is really becoming a list of doll "face claims" for characters in stories I'll hardly/never write) , and I started making plans to dye Agatha, Charles, and Douglas for characters (since they're part of Marco's story, and needed to be fleshed out). I was also wanting the Douglas sculpt as a doll that I could dress in anything (which ties in with their character), because I have this "thing" about wanting to have a, as I c

I thought I gave myself a decent list on how to spend my refund, but I forgot that I'm me, and I'm very, very good at blowing money when I have it. I also just remembered that I have 30$ in my wallet. Huh. anyway. I pre-ordered an Azone x Kinoko Juice Hello! KikiPop. That was on the decent to-buy list. I am ready to finally have my own Kinoko Juice doll, especially if that means dropping 200$ versus 900$. I've been looking at Isul Hednar, who I already have plans for with Gracey, my Dal Tezca. Pluuus, I found out you can give Dal Isul's body? So if I got a Hednar (who's name'll be Cadell) then I'm also going to get an Isul body for Gracey, because that Obitsu body with the mod... It's not doing it for me. (Gracey is super top heavy.) I could consider getting him now, but... I did add another doll to the decent to-buy list. Victorian Winter dolls released a picture of a succubus they were making, which might become a real thing soon? I don't rea

I don't really have much to post about for this one! (Kinda pressed for time, since I have homework...) Since I don't have any dolls that are a romantic couple, my next best option was to go for family, so Ricky Show and Guhn got to be in pictures again. I should really spend some time on developing them, and their family. The only thing I know is that they're brothers and they most likely live together. They're the only one in my group of YoSDs that don't have some sort of origin. They're just there! Maybe one day I'll work on their characters more which is something I tell myself too often about a lot of my OCs.

I thought I was going to have a difficult time with this prompt, but it turned out being really fun to do! Especially since PukiFee have magnetic feet. :")

Dear Self, if you're really set on taking pictures with day light, then don't attempt taking pictures after 3pm. It's not worth it. Thankfully, the lights in your kitchen are decent. ugh, I planned to do too much today. But let's talk about dolls. This week I took pictures of Eddy Victin (hybrid Angel of Dream Hao on Demon Garden body) and his robot, Dorian (Batchix Mini-Machina Delta). They were very good (slightly planned) impulse buys that I was able to put into a dollverse I really, really enjoy (that I hope to get back into writing for, at some time). Originally when I bought Eddy, his character was supposed to be a model? I think. But I scrapped that and put him into this story where he's basically a robotics student. Still super shy, but now he knows a thing or two about technology. (The 'verse, itself, isn't necessarily modern. It's like a mix of magic and steampunk - at least, whenever I think of it, everything is in that "steamp
