This is silencingthedrums's BJD sideblog! I've been collecting since 2005 and have recently jumped back into the hobby with both feet. You can expect to see doll photos, mod projects, and some character writing here. Photos may be suggestive or mildly nsfw but will be tagged accordingly. THIS BLOG IS ANTI-RECAST My current crew is - Roo [Volks MSD F-09] ~ Kyuubi [K-Doll Karon / Soul Double Body] ~ Lucas [Volks SDC Sora] ~ Tan [Volks Yo-SD SwD Piccolo] ~ Sal [Volks SD16 Yukinojo] ~ Israfil [D.I.M R-Asiam]
Some shots of my guys from the NYC Meetup today! I’m so happy with how Israfil is coming out, and Kyu is always beautiful. Issy’s mods aren’t fully painted yet, but hopefully will be soon.
Look at the vest, not the pile of fabric behind it.
This is for a commission but I am insanely proud of it. All that’s left to do is topstitch (if it’s desired,) bind the bottom and set the eyelets.
I think I’ll make one for Kit on my vacay, it looks pretty good on him.
I’ve had a lot of inquiries but I don’t have infinite working time so I’ll only be taking 3 slots right now. I have one commission from the festival lined up already for July, so the 3 slots will be for August, September, and October. Based on recent commissions, I expect to be able to finish one per month while also resuming work on non-commissioned pieces but please remember that custom work may take up to 8 weeks to complete.
If you’re interested in getting one of those slots, please take some time to carefully read my full policies page. Once you’ve done that, you must contact me by email ([email protected]). I do not accept commission inquiries through asks, replies, messages, notes, reblogs, or anything else. Please give me an idea of what you’re looking for in your initial email–Flox, Dream Snake, or Arolo, and at least a general color scheme or concept. I can’t wait to hear about your ideas, and I’m very excited to be able to take on commissions again!
Name: Henry
Aliases/Nicknames: N/A
Sculpt: Modded Delf Chiwoo on a modded DZ B60-005 body
Species: Hyshea
Gender: Cis male
Sexuality: Gay
Nationality: Hell
Birthday: N/A
Current Home: Hell
Appearance: Petite in all ways except for his enormous eyes, Henry is cute and unassuming at first glance. He has feathery black hair and seems to always wear a face mask over one cheek. Underneath the mask his jaw is exposed, and underneath his clothing, he’s missing a great deal of his torso.
Family: All the thousands of other Hyshea in Hell
Partner(s): Israfil
Friends: N/A, but only because of current circumstances. He’ll make friends. Probably.
Education: Obedience training, etiquette, multilingual
Occupation: Servant
Talents: A natural inclination to be helpful, and a trusting sweetness that borders on troubling. He’s also not a bad cook, and is more perceptive than people give him credit for.
Personality: Henry is quiet, eager to listen but not to speak himself. He second-guesses himself a lot and would much prefer to be told what to do than to make decisions himself. That said, he’s fiercely loyal to those who show him kindness, and will gladly put himself in harm’s way and overcome his disinclination to make decisions in order to help them.
Hot damn, someone was selling a damaged Chiwoo head for a reasonable price and I managed to grab it! I had a modded zombie Chiwoo many moons ago and sold him, and had planned to re-shell him as a Fairyland Lunnula or something like that because I didn’t think I’d find a decently priced Chiwoo. And yet! It happened!
Aaaaand this is why our household has collectively obtained like four dolls in the last 6 months.
Daniels new eyes came in, and I’m totally on love with them <3 they have an amazing depth without having a high dome (witch is perfect for him), and are just the right color :D Got them from Yovanka Black ArtDolls (etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/SOULinaBOXdolls), I can absolutely recommend them.
Also gave daniel a different wig + a haircut, thats way better than the furwig he had before, but… still not right. I really need to make him his own wig x.x
Plus Tobi got the pair of free eyes I got (because noone of my other dolls can rock 10mm pink eyes,orz), but I think they suit him just fine? :)
Took Carina to the forest for a nice photoshoot but I underestimated the power of mosquito armies, so there isn’t really much to show. I was just busy waving my hands and trying not to push the tripod at the same time. Still going back some other day, because I really liked the natural light there.
I don’t understand why someone would feel the need to STRIDENTLY defend the use of 100% acetone to clean doll face-ups with multiple people expressing that they’ve seen acetone soften or damage resin. Like trying to back up their use of acetone with ~science~ and claiming all cleaners will damage equally. What is this person’s stake in acetone??
Pro tip: don’t use acetone on resin because it causes damage very quickly
I’m so horribly tempted by cheap damaged doll bodies for mod purposes, but I worry about not being able to re-sell them later - and I definitely can’t hang onto a bunch of projects like that.
Just a quick shot of Sal and Al. Sal got some new eyes in the correct color for his character - even in this SUPER POORLY LIT photo the gold looks so much better!
Sal has a lot of affection for the Middle Ages and, consequently, for clothing inspired by the period. He knows how to be a snappy dresser when he needs to, or when Al tells him to, so he’s no stranger to suits. At the end of the day, though, nothing beats simple sturdy boots and a comfortable dad sweater.
If you or someone you know is selling SD16 clothing with looks like this, let me know!
