The BJD Discussion

[Finlet]

It does take forever, but it's so nice to know all their backstories! I feel like I've known these dolls for a while but now I feel like I know them on a whole new level.
I need to get to sewing again too, I have a half finished outfit ; ;

Hello! Please call me: Anything, really. Bishie works too!

About you: I'm pretty young, an engineering student and love working and playing with my dolls. My collection changes a lot.

How you got into the hobby: Dream of Doll was the first company to get me interested in dolls, particular the E-an and Homme Ducan sculpts. (I eventually ordered neither of them.) Awhile later I happened upon Leekeworld's site and saw Mabel's page and knew she was the one. Anyway, long story short, I don't remember much except that my dolls were destined to be character shells. Essentially it was customization that totally captured my heart. I love doing faceups, sewing, and drawing! Also cute things!

Hi guys!

Hello! Please call me: Tao/Mag
About you: I'm 18, a student. I've been in this hobby for three years now. I crochet dollie hats and am attempting to sew for my dolls. I make money selling projects on Etsy.
How you got into the hobby: My friend brought hers to school and after about six months of searching, I found Doll Family Rain.
Your dolls:


Name: Aoife
Sculpt: Doll Family Rain
Date Received: March 2009
Personality/Backstory: Aoife is a mischievous forest fairy who likes to play pranks on the girls. Though he is often annoying and downright mean to Emily, he has gradually fallen for her, though he'd never tell her that.


Expression 1:

Expression 2:


Name: Emily
Sculpt: Dollzone Feilian
Date Received: November 2009
Personality/Backstory: Long story short, Emily was a mermaid who fell in love with a human. She defied her family in order to be with him. He didn't want her. She's now stuck on land, not welcome back to her previous life, and unwanted by the one she gave everything for.

Sculpt: Olleaf Doll Sweet Choco
Date Received: January 2010
Personality/Backstory: I don't know. She's new. Imagine a tiny hipster.

Before I know it, all of your dolls will have a weird looking beret from me that sits somewhere in your doll clothing storage because you don;t actually use it. XD

this made me laugh XD
also an image popping up of Fate's guys all wearing a beret X'D

Ha ha, that is a weird image! I meant it to be silly XD

@Shilen - That was some intense introduction. Thanks for giving us a deeper look at your big family!

@Fate - What bothers you about his body? You had to order him on the newest body, didn't you?

@Cute One - I loled from your comment about Bell`s 'presents' XD

@Bishie - Aww, those are cute little pics, I hope Seele and Viera get done soon so you can spam real pics of them!

@Tao - Nice to see Aofie, I forgot he existed. I would love to see a pic of all 3 of them together~ Lol Claire "Imagine a tiny hipster" - so cute XD

@Fin - lol "About you: Finlet's husband", get that guy on here to do it himself! He needs to open up more. I think he could have lots of funl.

I'm tempted to take a picture of my boys with my floating head XD
I'm starting to feel sorry for Vairon.. he really has nothing besides a wig and eyes.. XD

I should start sewing (AGAIN.. XD haha.. I keep saying I should start >< wink
and get some magic block / eraser thing some day.. poor Hyde XD

I always forget you have Vairon!

@ Fate
true.. Torin and Kouji should be no-clothes-buddies =P

on the other hand.. I take back what I wrote, I am afraid the laptop might be broken.. AGAIN D<.. wtf..

-moving conversation here, if this is our new doll thread! xD

They totally should be! :3 They can write letters to each other complaining about their clothes-less ness

[XFateX]

Sppooooore~~
What bothers me about his body...
His arms are always going.. up? like creeper hands.
I'll illustrate.


Hes like that ALL. OF. THE. TIME.
I try to pt his hands down nice, but nope. His joints are weird, so I dunno if I like them.
I honestly think one leg is shorter then the other.. by a little. Hence why he never stands. But his legs just fling back up, too, so IDK
I'm to scared to restring, anyways, so I dunno what to do.

[Spore XP]

That sounds very sad. He is doing the creep all the time I guess. That pic is hilarious btw. Imma have to see it irl. Maybe we can fix it together.

OH, also, I added more depth to the thread with a weekly topic and photo of the month thing (see the first and contest posts). Let me know if you like this ides or if it is too much! I can't help but go all out all the time.

[XFateX]

You can tell Im a pro at drawing by that illustration.
I'm pretty sure Kai hates me right now. xD He's staring at a wall. [mostly because I'm too lazy to fix him.]

that's what Pria's arms do, except it's like this:

I let her stay that way, as it fits her character to gesture and twiddle her thumbs.

It's really time consuming to get your babies looking the way that you want, so it's understandable if it'll take a bit of time.
Rei will look beautiful with a face up. What are you planning for her?
Oh, by the way, I've been meaning to ask about your siggy. Hablas espanol? o: Donde lo aprendiste, si lo sabes hablar?

lol yea. no one is actually "Complete" Kamui is closest.

This is Reijin (the original character) and this is the reference i'll be giving to the face up artist so hopefully it will be close to this.


As far as Spanish lol
I'm of Spanish decent. I understand the language when spoken to me and I can read quite a lot. I did take some Spanish courses in High School (a must when you live in Miami.) I can speak it more then I can write it but my comprehension is high. Usually I reply in English tho since I fail in grammar and I can't conjugate verbs for my life lol.
