It's that time again...

I'm thinking of selling some of my dolls.

Normally I don't have issues with selling and don't worry about it, but these few are a little different. Two of them are dolls that are limited and I won't be able to get back, and one I bought off someone I know and would feel really bad selling.

Of the 4 dolls I'd like to sell, two of them are blank, have been blank for awhile and are in need of more work than I think I have time or desire to give them. I also have two Dollzone dolls on the way, Renata and Moon, and lately I've been thinking I don't want them either. >.<

One of the problems I'm having with these dolls came to me in the form of a gift...I got a Rapa's Factory Serath from some friends for my birthday and holy crap is he cute. He's so cute I've loved just playing with him blank! I want to carry him around everywhere! I don't feel that way about these other dolls, even though I had big plans for them, and really liked them for awhile....I'm not sure I want to continue on with them. Plus, I was happy with all my tinies being bunnies. Serath (who's name is Ebils) kind of fits in with my bunnies even though he so isn't one, and I think it's not the doll it's me. I love him so he works. The others I'm kind of "meh" about so...they don't.

The other problem is money. I don't need money to live or anything, but I feel bad using my own $$ to buy dolls...and I really need a body for a floating head I have coming in, Mini-David will need a body, and I'd like to get Uriel a new body (he's on a Delf body right now and I don't like it much), and the one I want will possibly be around $500 >.< which I can really only justify if I can get at least some of it from sales or other income. I don't think the few dolls I have to sell will cover the whole cost but it would help, and then I could sell either his Delf body or Aishe's FDoll one, and that might take care of at least some more or it would definitely be enough to get an AOD girl body for my incoming head, or a Lati blue boy body if I can find one. Bleh. To many heads.

Yeah. Dilemmas. I guess I'll have to wait for my DZ order to finally come in but I'm already planning on selling at least Moon. Renata I might give a try since I'm for sure going to repost my Dollmore Vian and then Renata will be my only girl. Other than Cassiel *sweat* I always forget her!!

I should just put them up for sale and not worry about it any more. I always like to say that dolls should make you happy, even if all you do is look at them and smile. Right now they're causing me anxiety >.<

That's never a good sign.

Trying to come with a name...

For this little guy here

deer boy 1

Normally names don't take so long for me...but I've got two with no names right now, one more on the way (SECRET DOLL OMG! technically he has a name already though) and I gotta do something before I end up selling some of them due to lack of character/bonding. So far I am considering Briar, Thistle and Meadow, but if anyone has suggestions I'd appreciate it!! He currently has clothes...some supercute shorts and a fluffy deer tail, this is him before he was totally finished. His eyes are blue (stupid phone camera). You can't see his giant antlers, but they're there. They hold on the wig :B
He also has white spots on his butt...cause you know, deer.
I don't want fawn or faun. Or Bambi. Or anything bambi related. Something naturey would be great. Not Rowan...it's being used for another doll in the household atm.

Something star-themed might be cool too, because he's got a star-shaped bead in his hairs and I can totally give him a star birthmark. Not Star, because = lame.

Next up will be my Pixiu. He's ice themed but I don't want him named Ice. I thought of that and it's lame too.

Also, I have this guy.

YU1

Currently his name is YU. He's a dragon, but I painted him to look like a betta fish, which is what I had him as...but now I'm flipflopping. I was thinking of changing it to Sushi, or making him back into a dragon and giving him a different name all together. A nature name, which would go nicely with the other NON-FC dolls I have. He's the only weirdo that's not a bunny in FC, he's Alex's fish...but I didn't get him a bowl like I wanted too and I don't need him as a doll, the fish can just stay in the comic lol if that makes sense. I JUST DON'T KNOW!! arg.

I love these Dollzone gift-dolls. I wish they'd sell them, I would maim to get a hold of the three tiny flower fairies! I have a Moon coming in too...I was going to name him Haku, but I'm feeling wishy-washy about that too >.<

maybe I just need them all together (with Renata, also coming in from dollzone. She needs a plant name too, like thorn) and go with a theme. Yeah. Arg.

Happy Birthday Alex

Four years ago today I got my first BJD! I can't believe he's so old X3

For his birthday Alex got to go to the scariest place on earth: The American Girl Doll store. D:
Which for me is fun lol
For Alex not so much. It's a lot of pink and a lot of little kids pointing at him and parents glaring or running into us because they don't pay attention to anything.
After that, it was California Pizza Kitchen! Which was for me, not him. He actually spent most of the day in his bag lol which is why the hair is...yeah.

alex birthday

XD I did a real photoshoot with him too...I don't usually use props. Which shows.

ReVamp

LOL I so funny! :B

Kimiko Matsumoto is a character damned near as old to me as Alex...she's his on-off girlfriend of almost 5 centuries. Yeah, I know. How the hell does anyone put up with him that long?! D:
A relatively decent picture of her...
omg art! no stealings...
 smKIMIflt
Ugh. Lack of rose >.< when I drew this I hadn't figured out where I wanted it....

and with Alex
smZephyr cover2
As you can see, she's short. And he doesn't have all his tattoos, and the ones he does have are wrong. DAMMIT!!!
I would bet because she's hanging all over him here she's actually a little taller than that XDD Alex is short too, both in character and in doll. So finding a doll for her was going to be hard right away.

Dollzone Shoyo (MSD) - Kimi version one, my third doll. Nice doll, didn't work as Kimi. There were issues. Lots of issues...Starting with Leekeworld and the wig disaster and ending with her faceup being so wrong and me too chicken (at the time) to redo it. Bleh. This was the first doll I ever sold.
KIMIKO1


Minifee Ryeon - Kimi version 2. Stylistically a better match but too small. I gave up on MSDs for her after being tired of seeing her tiny head next to my SDs.
smKimi4


Zaoll Ramie - Kimi Version 3. LOVE this doll...she's so pretty. Not Kimi. AT ALL. I was worried when I decided to go with this doll, but the height was right and there isn't much in that size that's available. She's a very Asian looking sculpt so I thought I could make it work. Newp. She's just too real. If you ever look at my art, when/if Kimi is present, she's drawn very stylized...That's just how I "see" her... there is no realistic vision of her that only exists in my head, that's how she looks! If FC was ever made into a movie she'd be the easiest person to cast...short and Asian. Bam. I don't care what she looks like "IRL" because to me she looks like my drawings XD
smKIMI1


Finally, Kimi version 4 Dollmore Eve Miso/Zaoll body
smNEWkimi3

smNEWkimi1

smNEWkimi2

Not the best pictures, but I THINK IT WORKS! I want to get her new eyes...I might try the Ramie's eyes in her again, I liked those and they were really low domed...or she's going to have her eyes beveled out because the eyewells are really deep. She's a little awkward thanks to the long neck, but it looks fine in person O.o and if it starts to bother me I can sand it down. Which will ruin the body for the Zaoll head...I'm not ready for that yet. Maybe in a month or so...

She looks so good ;^;
