Requiem Art

(part 1 because I haven’t made her an outfit yet) The Animadness folks asked me to make them another custom, though this one is neither anime nor store mascot related.  This time it’s pin-up icon Bettie Page. 

Chapter 171 is up in All My Pullips!

Ash Nero (the doll type being Nero) was my first doll.  I did order her at the same time as Panda, but I had been staring at Pullips for around 6 months before I could convince myself that I, an adult, wanted a doll when I was never a doll person even when I was [...]

October’s Groove releases will be a mixed bag. First, there’s the completion of the romantic alice set with Romantic King: Awwwwww…. Isn’t he adorable in his widdwe royal clothes? I think his faceup is a bit nicer than the other Isuls so far, I like his little frown.

I don’t do realism in pullips very often since I’ve notices a reverse correlation between personality and realism, and I always choose personality. Zsa Zsa has more realism than usual, but keeps a healthy dose of attitude and style, no matter what she’s wearing

The Pullip/Dal minis are all right, but the bodies are absurdly un-flexible and prone to breaking. I hate dealing with them, which is why the minis have been minimized in All My Pullips. Recently, Obitsu came out with a 11cm body, roughy the same size as a mini, but in kid proportions. Naturally, I bought [...]

Today is PUDDLE, the PUllip and Dal Doll Lover Event. It’s a Pullip & co convention, and while I didn’t get to go this year, I worked on two charity raffle customs (one doll, one outfit for someone else’s doll since KeelyVH did the outfit for mine) that will be won today! So I’ll probably [...]

Lilith is the limited edition San Diego Comic Con doll from 2010. She looked incredibly awesome in prototype pictures, and then turned out to be a bit ‘meh.’ Thanks to the miracle of customization, she did not stay that way! Compare this to her rather bleh arrival state: It’s safe to say that mine is [...]

For August, Groove is releasing collab dolls with asian doll customizers/clothes designers. Which sounds AWESOME… in theory. Let’s start the list off with Dal, and the only customizer I’ve heard of, Mr. @nai: Considering this was his doll fair custom from last year, and most of his blythe customs are bright colors and interesting designs…I’m [...]

It’s very strange to be working on 4 customs all at once and then not be in the middle of anything! Puddles needed to be done in time for PUDDLE (but with a good gap so that I could send her to KeelyVH for a while first) and Duela needed to be done so I [...]
