Grah,you've aroused my interest in the dolls again. D: I love these dolls, they're magnificent and.. once I take my photography classes, I REALLY REALLY REALLY want one. Then I can use him/her in the photos. xD

Lol most of all the reason I got my boy.

Though that was one of the reasons, the main reason was to put my costume designs on one of my favorite OCs. XP It is so much fun to take pictures of these dolls! So worth the cost.

Oh, wings! Wings are always so lovely! If your wings turn out well, I might have to commission a white pair for my boy! And a victorian bed... Oh, how I love that style so!

Edit for a typo driving me nuts. XP

Lol well then I'm defiantly going to hope that my wings come out well. ^w^

I hope they turn out well. ^^

I want to start on a new sewing project today but can't decide on a design. My sewing skills are in need of some work and same with my pattern making... And what colors to use? Normally Arnorr is in whites or creams... Maybe a blue? I don't know...

Lol at some point today I intend to attempt making a table and chair set for Makrua...>w> Maybe...

If not then I'll defiantly turn a pairless sock into a new hoodie.

XD

Any suggestions on what color I should use for what I shall do? I'll base the design of it off of that.

Used to have a pair of wicker doll chairs that would fit an MSD, but I think I sold them at our last yardsale.

Hrm how about a mixture of white and blue?

Sounds good to me. Time to get to sketching out a new design. :D

Lol yay!

Go go chocobo on a new design!

XD

For some reason, I had a flashback to my W.o.W. days with a blood elf on a RP server and recall yelling at someone: Thou shalt fear my rainbow birdie!

Sorry, I am so freakin' nerdy.

Hey guys.

Can I just give you a gentle nudge to keep this on the topic of art? If you'd like, you're very welcome to make your own hangout thread about these Dolls in the Menewsha Nations Forum.

Thanks! :)

Sorry, I got off subject with that post. :x

Anyways, I'd kill for a Limhwa elf. They are so pretty and Arnorr really needs a doll modeled after his wife...

I'll create one in Menewsha Nation.

We sowwy miss person.

*cough* Okay um art about these dolls..

What kind of sets do you usually go for?

Fantasy, elegant... Long and flowing, something that fits in with the elven thing. I love elven dolls and demand pointy ears on my long list of dolls that I want. XD

Why don't we carry this conversation over to the other thread so we can widen the range of dollie conversation?

They are definitely an art form. It's a shame they are so expensive and that in the U.S. there aren't many resources to construct a doll in a similar fashion. Most craft stores supplies for doll making are really basic. Have you ever heard of the Japanese event called "DollsParty" sponsored by Volks that revolves around the Dolfie series. There was an article on it in issue 12 of the old magazine called "Raijin Game & Anime". There was a photo collection of people holding their dolls and even some that dressed in a similar outfit. It's an interesting culture.

I adore BJD's (:

Sadly I don't have one though xD

See BJDs are great for artists and writers to get inspired.

Makrua is his own little person that just can't speak. But somehow gets what he wants across to me. ^w^
Sometimes he can be a bit vain. That little demon thinks he's all that and a bag of greasy chips. But sometimes he shows how much he really cares.

...Like refusing to pose when I'm sick, so I'll give up and go rest instead of forcing myself to do a photoshoot when I have no business being outside.

Kai talks back to me >> but then again I'm crazy XD No lie not exaggerating me and Kai have full on conversations and arguments ask Star she's watched us heh heh

Wow...that's a lot of great tips, thanks...I so want to make my own BJD as well as buy a few....your photo's are beautiful as well...I'll make sure to keep the tips in mind and I'll ask you questions if I need any, great post!

I loove these. They're so pretty, despite being somewhat creepy too. The faces are so delicate and beautiful.

Ahhhh ;3;
I wanted a BJD for Christmas orz
But I wanted the PS2 pop'n music games more *_*
(which ened up being to much trouble to bother getting ;__; )

maybe next year or something T^T;;

Yay BJDs :D I love them! I finally got mine :3
Hoping to get a better camera and clothing for him....-_-

I have a few BJD's my self one is a pipo and the other is a Resinsoul Bei.

They're gorgeous, but they're even more expensive than anime. Which is saying something. :P

I have four BJDs and am about to get my fifth (not my fifth ever...just...my fifth now)

I have a Fairyland Littlefee, a Fairyland Pukifee, a Fairyland PukiPuki and a Gardenofdolls PpoPpo

One of those is not like the others :D

I'm going to be getting a Bambicrony Ciao Bella...I love only the tinies...i've had a few MSD and they've never stuck around long except my first BJD ever (Angel Fantasy Lily) who hung around for about a year.
