That one time I splurged and bought dolls

I'm happy to say that I recently bought bodies for Icara and Pompeyo! Icara's arrived last week (?), but since I don't have any clothes for him, he's in his really huge Volks box. I guess the SD10/13 boxes are always that big, but I've never had an actual box for SDs before so... Anyway, Pompeyo's body should have been shipped out on Friday, so I should be seeing it this week. October is going to be a busy-ish month for me, so I don't know if I'll have time to buy clothes or motivation to make any. (And with all of the cards that I owe people, I might not have money for dolls.) I have an outfit planned for Icara, but I need to plan some for... Everyone else, but Eddy and Tep?  (Oh, I recently got a JerryBerry/PureNeemo doll! Their name is Marco, and if I can find the funds to gets a Doll-Chateau Agatha, they're going to get into hi-jinks together. uvu) ) And a few dolls need face-ups, still... ~Constant, never ending, doll problems~ I'll f...

Wishlist & Selfies Models

For self-reminder purposes, and because I'm horribly repetitive, I'm going to drop my current wishlist here:: Bodies for Icara (SAY Vampire) & Pompeyo (MNF Seorin) Vadin (IH Asa/Limhwa Mono Boy) Angie (MNF Miyu Boy) Archer (MNF Shushu) Dorian (Batchix Delta) [Isul Hednar] I'm sure I'll know true happiness when it's completed. ...Probably. Anywho, during my breaks in class, I made Selfy versions of Archer , Angie , and Vadin . I found out later today that I had written out some of their eye/hair color in a Word document, and they were pretty different from what I had selected. Archer is suppose to have peach eyes and Angie is suppose to have green eyes. ...I can't remember if Vadin was on that list (I should probably go check), but his Selfy took the longest to make due to me never drawing him before. -- Well, I have drawn him, but it was a really quick headshot and I didn't colour it. But I had to stop and seriously think about his hair c...
I really haven't done anything doll-ightful over the summer, although I wanted to, but recently I gained three Monster High dolls and I finally sent a head out to get face-up done! Although I wasn't suppose to spend the money (It's just back-up cash), I have a Ghouls Rule Draculaura now. Finally. I found her once, and the next day she was gone, so I went to the same store with a friend and he made me buy her. That same friend also bought me Abbey, and my mom bought me Robecca. So, unless I get Venus or Howleen, I'm pretty set until Scaris comes out. The doll head I sent out was my SAY Vampire, Icara. The progress pictures I've been receiving have been fantastic, so far! ;u; A part of me cannot wait for him to be home, while another part of me doesn't want him back yet because I have no clue when I'll have a body for him. I hoped that I could get it really soon, but money has not been in my favor this Fall. Hm, I made clothes for my MNF Chloe, Hephaestus. ...

the feelings of no return

I spent most of my time, when I should have been sleeping, gushing over Isul Hednar last night. Because that is the most adorable Isul I have ever seen, and I will gladly spend the 130$ on him ( even though I think the price is really pushing it for something that's not resin, but that's just me. ) I like that he's really, honestly boyish. I've seen that a lot of Pullips dolls sort of have a "I do what I want, gender roles won't stop me 'cause I rock this look!" 'tude, but I have also sort of seen a little talk about Isul not looking enough like a boy. I like all of the Isul releases but this is one that can't, or shouldn't, have a comment made about not looking like a boy. There's just... Something about him that I really like! He looks great, his story really appeals to me, and his outfit is totally berserker-worthy because LOOK AT ALL THE HIDES, LOOK AT ALL HE'S TAKEN DOWN WITH HIS BARE HANDS. If I could give him a fitting sk...

caught by the heart

After over...  a good 2~3 months of waiting, I finally  got C.A. Cupid. There's was only one of her at the WalMart closet to me, so I don't know if there were any more before her. o_o ) She isn't the *~most perfect~* doll, but her paint is all there, nothing's wonky, and that's perfect to me. I'm very tempted to take the styling gel/glue out of her hair. Or take her braid down, at least. I'd like to see her hair in a different style, but I don't even style my own hair, so I don't know what to expect. xD But I'm really glad to have her. <3 Now I can be on the look out for other dolls again. xD"

stop thinking that you have all the cash

Ha, so an artist that I watch on dA had a post with a list of dolls that they were wanting to sell, and a Migidoll Jina was on there. And here comes Enski trying to find pros and cons of owning a MG Jina. My thoughts haven't died down yet, but I'm sure that in <2wks I'll be over this. This usually happens when I see that people are possibly selling things- I try to see if I can buy whatever it is so I can help them fund for whatever they're after. I honestly think that I would have a Jina just... to have. xD Which isn't bad, but I don't like thinking that way with dolls. I tend to do more with dolls that have neat characters to them, than ones with just names and not a lot going on. Maybe that'll change? Who knows.
Back into drawing 'femboys' and it's making me want a DC Doris again. I'm a little bit hesitant, because I tend to not do much with SD sized dolls. I haven't taken any pictures of Eddy, and I still need to buy a body for Icara. And, even though I haven't done much with my dolls in general, I usually find myself more willing to work with my smaller dolls than my bigger one(s). Maybe I really, really , have to set time aside for my dolls. Summer is coming up, so after school could be the time to start. It might result in turning my living room into a complete workshop, but it should be worth it. I still have to make clothes, get dolls sent for face-ups, restring/wire/suede, purchase bodies/eyes/shoes... I'll find somewhere to focus and start from there. It would be better to finish my current dolls than to buy... 4 more and then be deeper in more resin. I might sell some, too? Highly unlikely, but if it feels like I'm running low on space or I can...
Looks like I'm not getting a new doll. Wasn't able to send the first payment and things fell through. Thankfully, the doll will be sold pretty soon, so I'm glad for the seller. I'll see if I can make a harpy-boy for myself if the MP treats me well. At the moment, it looks like I could make one for ~500$, but I'm being picky about the head sculpt. I might just deal with it and then get what I can now, and see what I can get later. ah well, it was a good ride. ...Now that I think about it, I wonder what dolls I'll take to Sakura Con? I took Topher and Guhn last year, but now I don't know. It's coming up really soon, so maybe I'll figure something out the week of. o3o )/
Wooo~ Here goes hoping that I'll have a new doll by June. The layaway schedule is set, I've altered my work schedule, and my grandmum is helping me with the down payment. I wonder, if I stop thinking about the doll/character, will I be more excited to have them? I always dwell on thoughts about new dolls, and I'm starting to think that that affects how long they stay on my shelf. I mean, I didn't think I'd get my Soom Afi after it released and hit the MP but- ...I was  still thinking about the character some. eh. Whatever. When the doll comes, he'll be here and I'll be flipping out and blah, blah. Maybe this year I will do some research on face-up/blushing/etc. artists and I can find the one  who'll just take all of my dolls that require such services and work on them for me. I probably won't see parts for a few months, but when I get them back, it'll be worth it. Gosh, I can imagine sending multiple boxes out. ...Maybe I should talk to t...

the last thing i want 'em to be are dust collectors

:U Maaan, it's been a long time since I've thought of any dolly stuff. I mean, recently I've been debating about getting an Obitsu head and a Pure Neemo body to go with it. I was thinking of using that as a practice head for face-ups. But I still have all of these resin dolls I want to get, and I haven't touched mine in months and ajflhdiudag-- :/ It's not like I don't have time to play with them, I just don't know how. There are a lot of things I could do, and somethings I can't do because of setting/time of day/etc. But i do want to start having some of them around me more, like my YoSDs. But I think I can start to trim my wishlist again. I'll just strike some names out, so if the chance comes where I can  get another, then I can figure out who to go for. -[misc/personal]- [Harris] MNF Rheia [Yenko] RS Song ~ coffee [Dredge] RS Song ~ grey -[greek line]- [Alexandra 'Cassandra' Apoltel] MNF Shiwoo ♀ [Andrew 'Andres' Helenus...

micro updates

Pomp is here and is spending time with Tiresias. :3 I took some pictures of him/them and you can view some of them here . He was going to have blue eyes, originally, but I like him more with heterochromia. His wig is also a bit small, but it works well. :D It's what I get for forgetting about MNFs' head sizes varying. So along with getting Pompeyo, Topher's horns came in (but I need new magnets because I broke some and then had a superglue accident) and I (obviously) have a camera! It's a Canon Powershot AS1000 is , and it's pretty nifty. I'm still getting use to it, but it's been giving me great results. And now I want to focus on getting Archer (mnf shushu), Angie (mnf miyu), Harris (mnf rheia), Vadin (iple asa/limho mono), and maybe Frait (doll-chateau dorris). o_o Something tells me that these plans aren't going to stick, but I hope they do.

Body Types

Fairylaaaand. Why are the B-Line bodies talller? :C This kind of ruins the group dynamics that I set up. I mean, I would buy some for... Hector, Helenus, and Tiresias (Who was going to get that body anyway) but I don't want them to have limited mobility. And it doesn't make sense for me to do that since the first two are athletes. B| (And maybe I wanted them to have muscle bods?) Hm... I'm not sure what to do now. I could just buy them B-Line bodies and roll with it. And if I ever need to, do some head swapping so they're more mobile. :I Now I need to figure out who needs what type of body. Booo.

keep on, keepin' on

I'm getting somewhere, and yet back tracking. I finished paying for Pompeyo and he's on his way here, pre-ordered the body that he and Tiresias will share for the time being (now I know that I will need 390$ for one bod), bought his eyes, and have asked for his wig. So that kid is pretty much ready. I've also inquired about Topher's horns (It seems the sale fell through, so they're back on the market?) and I've asked a friend about a camera she was selling. I haven't heard anything yet, but I'm being patient. =u= )b Now I'm worrying about clothes. I tried looking for free patterns, but nothing has shown up. I'll keep  looking but I bet I'll have to free hand it when the body gets here. :/ I would try to use Ben, but her being a girl and all... >:T But I feel good about this. (I'll feel even better when I heard about the camera, though.) But it'll be nice to have full-ish dolls around the house. :3 Plus it'll be my first...

Doll Groups

I need to stop purchasing things for a second so I can get this information typed up. I separated the BJDs on my wishlist into groups, so I'm going to try to do that here for... everyone. Beasties = Christopher 'Topher' Luwen = Ricky Show = Cole Cobalt Guhn = Dez = Rumore =  Nest Nekros =  Blazar Atrophic = Frait Keep Greek Line + Trend 2 B U = 'Tiresias' = 'Pompeyo' = Alexandra 'Cassandra' Apoltel = Alexandros 'Paris' Callus = Andrew 'Andres' Helenus = Hector Fallon = Archeron 'Archer' Collins = Angelon 'Angie' Collins = Hillary 'Harris' Septembre = Vadin 'Traxx' Lohher Midway = Edw ard ( Eddy) 'moji~★' Victin = Icara //misc = Tep = Gammon = Benny Robbinz
Heh, there goes my whole 'Oh, there's only going to be five more dolls I want to buy!' fling. Now it's moved to 'Get a shit ton of MSDs? Okay!' jegusallidoislistthings. So I don't think I'll get those character dolls of Hitsugaya and Luppi (Bleach) yet, because I still need to plan everything for them. I made a post about it earlier but it's missing some major things (Like face-up and body artist/s). Plus I haven't written about the pair for some time and I really wanted the dolls to help me see any scenes I had a problem writing. Now I've moved on to this... Ten character, mainly Greek 'character'/name yoinking thing that has some promise. And then this other idea where I give Eddy a pet fox spirit-thing that doesn't do much but lounge on him. But back to the idea with the longer cast. I really  need to start drawing characters out because I'm about to go on a head buying spree and have no clue on anyone...

MNFs and Such

Instead of a JDF Terra, I think I'll make Vadin an Iplehouse JID Asa. The sculpts are pretty similar, but I'll have to make him a hybrid. :T Positive, the size will be more of what I want. If I can just mod it onto an JID boy body, then that'll be perfect. (Or find some others MSD that's ~46cm?) So all together, in character map form, there's :: Vadin ‘Traxx’ Lohher ❤ [Angelon] Angie Collins  ← Sibling to → [Archeron] Archer Collins [Hillary] Harris Septembre ←Friends with→  Angie Archer ←   Friends with  →  Alexandra ‘Cassandra’ Apoltel 'Pomeyo' ← Friend/Chauffeur → ‘Tiresias’  ←   Frenemies with  →  Cass ← Friends with → Andrew 'Andres' Helenus Helenus ← Friends with → Hector Fallon ❤ Alexandros 'Paris' Callus ...I think this is the best character map I have ever made. And it's doesn't look terribly confusing (Even though I didn't put sculpts, but that would have cluttered everything.) Anyway , that's...
i love having the feeling of 'this doll idea is awesome! sell all of your current dolls to get new ones.' ppffftt ohellno. as long as i'm in this, nothing is getting sold. anyway. i'm more sure about getting MNFs for some greek myth sort of thing. especially since I have a mnf seorin on hold. so that's Tiresias, Pompeyo (young boy who leads Tiresias in some scenes, not the general or whoever), Cassandra, Helenus, Paris, and Hector. (And then Angie, Archer, and Harris.) I need to start making depictions of them, because I'm pretty sure I have no idea of how I want them to look. ((This post is crap, I'll try to make it better later. It works for a poor reminder, though.))

Day at TRU/WalMart Haul

Record of MH haul - Day at the Maul Fashion Pack Dead Tired Draculaura Mad Science Lagoona Home Ick Frankie School's Out/2.0 Frankie I'm surprised that I took a liking to the dolls that I was getting/going to have multiples of. I really planned to only keep their clothes, but by the time I got in the car, I was making characters. XD Anyway, I was bummed that neither Toys R Us or Walmart here had Spectra (Or Abbey, since she should be released here by now), since I really wanted to buy her. I'll have to just keep my eyes open. But I'm glad I have a Draculaura of my own (Now to wait for her Journalist outfit <3) and more clothing options. ...For the girls, anyway. 8|
Trying to buy bodies second hand, but it's not really working so I'm just going to put a MNF one on layaway and then buy one from DollnDoll. And... I think I'm going to actually buckle down on this 'personal doll' thing. Might get a MNF Rheia, if the idea sticks. Oh, and I'll see if I still want horns for my Afi. The Taco/Dolomi horns are tempting... :|c
