Quick Update - Wolf Cub Arrival!

I'll see about posting pictures soon, but I'm excited and can't wait:

My Withdoll Werewolf Coco finally arrived today! It sat in customs forever. Since Thursday. I had to run out at lunch today to pick him up. I found my front tire flat (thank you cold weather) and all my tires were low, so I ran around like a crazy person until I found a gas station with air. Half my lunch later I was able to run by the house and grab the boxes.

I unboxed him and started putting on the wolfy parts - accidentally unstringing him in the process. I found some dental floss and was able to get him back together....now I know something else that needs to be added to my doll-kit! It worked great. The fur skin didn't want to go over one claw, so I took it off and used the floss again to pull his arm through and get the claw back on XD Yay floss!!

Lunch was over then - I had to eat while I worked - so no pictures or anything. From the little handling I've done so far I just love him. Not only is he totally adorbes but seems to be very high-quality. Sturdy joints, well made, the color (Rosy Brown UV) is just gorgeous and he's not translucent at all, only the very tips of his little claws....which is kind of realistic and cool.

He sits and stands well, the wolf skin is the best thing ever, and if I glue the magnets to his head cap (which is what I've been doing for ears lately) it'll hold on his wig and all will be well. I only regret not having eyes for him yet....I'll have to look at what I've got but I'm not confident. The eye box is running low. They sent brown acrylics, so he at least has eyes (and for some reason I had a lump of eye putty on my desk, or he wouldn't have them in XD ) but brown isn't the color I wanted - red, yellow or blue. I don't know which yet, but one of those. I can't wait to play with him!! I'll try and grab some pictures tomorrow.

In other news:
Future stuff
So I think I'm going to order a head this weekend that will be (hopefully) Gabriel. I looked at Supia the other day and Ariel is perfect. She kind of resembles Rian, and Vivien and even Olea (who all have a similar look IMO), only she's actually got an open mouth and is available to buy now as opposed to impossible to get like Vivien. the tiny bit of research I've managed to do revealed that her neck is the same as the neck on the Loongsoul 63cm body, which is the body I am looking to get for her...so hopefully that'll work.

I am also contemplating ordering a Little Rebel Tenten head when the preorder starts....just because I've always wanted one of her dolls, and Tenten is my favorite. Because Teeth. I dunno. I've never ordered a doll just because before - with no idea whatsoever of what I'll do with it....so it might not happen. But I'd really like one. Like I need another floating head :\

Stuff I'm waiting on
F60 Soony Elf is on the way. This head has a character all ready for it, I just need....everything. Wig, eyes, body.....yeah. But it's going to be Sage's best friend (Sage will be next weeks challenge doll - I'm always excited about her character) and my second half-elf. This one is half elf, half dwarf. I'd like a chubby, short body for it, but I don't think that exists....oh well.

Dollmore: Clothes, parts, another Fine head and a DMK body

Alice Collections: Sherlock and Khan clothing and a really expensive outfit for Ryuji cause he never gets anything ever. Alex got a pair of shoes because I swear I can't buy things without buying for him too. >.<

Etsy: Monstro and Cyristine Creations clothes ordered for Little Wyn (and Mini Alex), and the Benedict Cumberbatch head....none of which have shipped.

Other stuff
The shirts I ordered from MOC for Metatron and his two future alter-egos fit beautifully. It makes me more confident to order clothes for him now (hence the giant AC order). I also ordered Alex one shirt. He's wearing it now.

Ryuji's new body - the new Soom Super Gem - showed up. I had some issues stringing it, but figured it out and he's good to go. It's way whiter than he is, and his faceup makes him darker still! So he need to be redone. And he's a big chunk now lol it's like he shrunk and put on weight!! It's ok though, he fits in pretty much everything, including the jacket made for him when he was an El which didn't fit him on the Popo body. So YAY!

Invasion of the Body Sharers. And Seven.

I got my Fairyland Nanuri 12A last week. This is the doll I decided would be Sages Twin, the Elf formerly known as Kael. I changed his name to Rowen becasue it sounds better and makes more sense with Sage. The faceup "he" came with was fantastic, and by some miracle, it matches the wig, so I'm keeping it. The only thing I did was pull out the eyelashes, because FL Chloe is the girliest girl in history and mine is a boy. So he needed a little less fluff. He's gone and stolen my El's body becuase it's the only one I have that will work unless I steal Aishe's, and Aishe has earned his right to keep his body dammit. So Adrien is already a head in a box. He won't stay that way - I just ordered him some truly fantastic eyes.

So with Rowan home, and Sage  and Wyn I have all my Elves but Shae. Still. I decided to go on and search for a head I could use on another "borrowed" body, and was directed toward Miracle Doll's Lestat. Which happens to be a head I've admired many times since it came out and was only available on their blog. Head also happened to be on sale. Hells yes.

So many years after selling the B&G Sapphira I'll have Wyn's half-brother again. I have a wig he can borrow, but I'll have to get one for him permanently. I'll also have to figure out how I want to disfigure his face. Long story. I'm excited because Lestat is a head I've wanted before, he has an open mouth with fangs so I can use him to get inspiration for my on-hold-until-I-get-parts Kara Klum mod-project, and when Rowan was Kael I owned him for a time as a B&G LE Nailo, but never at the same time as Shae. So I'll have them all together for firsties. Wyn's gots a newish faceup so he's all good to be pictureated, and other than needing her hair tamed, Sage is ready to go. GROUP SHOT!! Yays!

Shae will share a body with whoever's body he fits (but I am hoping for the Granado. Why shouldn't half my dolls be on that body? WHY?!) because I don't need any of them as a whole doll forever I think. I dunno. We'll see. I really like Rowan on that Delf body. I might like him more on an F60 one. OH GOD THE MONEY D:

Also getting a re-shell is Isis. I ordered her new head last week. I am hoping to get her before my next Dollmeet *fingers crossed*. Her new self will be DM Biwol. A doll I thought was the perfect Isis since her release, but I already owned Fine. I mean really, if you had to work with Alex you'd look worried too. Trust me on this.

I'm nervous about her becuase her eyes are so small - 10mm I think - but hopefully it won't be horrible next to David and Alex (who are 12s and 14-16). With Isis's recent character development I just don't see her as the Fine so much anymore, so I decided to go on and take this plunge. *scared*

And with all the new and incoming dolls I have recently, what do I do? Fall back into my usual obsession. A million things to do and work on and all I want is to play with this one.
SEVEN!! :D



 Luckily he needs playtiems, as he is still blank. *fail*
If I'm going to be honest, since he's too pretty to mod into disasterage, I am sort of at a loss as to what I want for him. He's been wearing that vest since I bought it at Dollism, so I'm thinking this is his style. I have all these clothes I buy for Alex I just don't see him wearing or I just never put on him (like all my Anotherspace stuffs)...this one is going to wear the clothes. All the clothes!!! And wear this wig I mangled several years back. And the two wigs I have had planned to make but never did because I don't see the current Alex's wearing them.
He's slowly becoming a doll. Or at least becoming more than the doll sitting on the Alex shelf cowering because apparently Alex I is a bully. Not sure why that should surprise me.

 

He has the expensive eyes (Enchanted Doll Eyes, also from Dollism). I had him less than 24 hours and he took all the shit I bought. Lol. Alex.

 

 I just love him. Seven of the same stupid doll and he never gets old for me.

I am having trouble deciding what kind of faceup I want on him however.

I - Somewhat natural, pretty.
II - Looks like death (not the entity, the concept.), still natural
III - Is the most "Alex" Alex.
IV - Is actually Azrael, who is  Death. The entity.
Skullface - Also Azrael. Also Death. Looks it literally.
2.5  who is now 6 - getting wiped and modded, but has the "glam" faceup
7 - Blank. Boo.

I feel like I've covered the bases....but in order to justify him he needs his own look.The good thing is, Alex being 500years old, I have pretty much everything under the moon to choose from...he gets bored. He's probably done it to himself. It meaning everything. XD

I could go:
Emo-Goth - which I don't have unless you count Azrael who's totally goth (dammit)
A different natural than Alex's I or II. No idea how I would do that tho...
A less cray version of Visual Kei than Adrien (or is that just Goth??? OMG I DON'T KNOW!! too many styles)
I have no idea.

What I know
Alex has:
Naturally white-blond hair
Blue eyes (cornflower like the flower or possibly the crayon.)
Pale, pale skin - which is also natural thanks to the hair but also, vampire.
Black eyebrows. Yep. Don't ask.

So other than that I can really do anything...no tattoos, but scars and piercings would work as both would eventually heal. My only character hang-ups are his laziness - he's not a super-high-maintenance person because he wouldn't bother, and would only half-ass do anything so the current dyed hair is a lot of work for him - and he doesn't like to emphasize the fact that he is pretty. So sometimes I don't think it's right to put "makeup" on him. I do it anyway (2.5/6) because I like it, but I feel wrong doing it.

Hair I've got planned. This wig, another dread wig - all dreadlocks this time, and one of alpaca that looks like it's been half shaved off - the precursor to his green-purple style of looks-like-it's-been-cut-with-a-weed-eater. I also have to make a new Green and Purple wig X2 for reasons out of alpaca hair. Assuming I can make anything at all out of alpaca hairs. I have the stuff, I just have to do it. Someday.

But the point is, hair I have covered. And eyes. And clothes.

I just need a faceup. Urg. I should go look at faceups for inspiration. I just don't want him looking like I and II. Here's hoping. I need to work on updating my doll list. So many body-sharers atm and it's getting confusing. I think this is the Year of the Floating Head for me. :\
