The body for Stryx from DZ arrived before expected (I calculated Jan/feb), yay! Here a portrait cause it's winter and there isn't enough natural light inside (and so the few full body shots I did were ALL ugly). -____-' I'll wait this spring to sand down the p3n1s, so as to not risk resin dust scattered in the house.

Armor making tutorial (leather used!)
So, this is my leather armor making tutorial! Some of you, my friends, could see it on DoA some time ago (I completely forgot that I posted it there ^^`), but still, here it is.
SOME WARNINGS! This post is going to be long and picture heavy!^^`It contains photos of nude doll parts. Also, I use real animal leather for this project, please consider this, if you are sensitive to this subject.
The model for this armor was the “previous” version of Hilda, my OC. Now Hilda is a IOS Anima, but back then she was a Leekeworld Adolf, heavily modded and on Akagi 70 body modified from male to female.
In our story Hilda is not a rich person, with no money to buy an expensive armor, but she, herself was an blacksmith’s apprentice, and could create a pieces of armor herself. So this armor will not be very pompous, and I will try to keep it as simple as it can be. As a references for Hilda’s armor I thought about Brienne’s of Tarth from Game of Thrones outfit, some medieval armor pieces from different historical resources and my own imagination ^__^ For this project I needed a lot of things: 1. Big pieces of leather, this time I took brown color and 2mm thick. 2. Sculptural plasticine 3. Plastic film (I used food wrap) 4. Good firm thread, maybe capron, or any other, that will survive the tension 5. A pot with water and kitchen-stove, to boil the water 6. Furniture 7. Wood burning machine 8. A lot of eyelets, rivets, buckles 9. Linen fabric for clotes. 10. Some other stuff I might forget to mention, but you`ll see it in the tutorial.)
1. I re-stringed a doll, and left stringed only the torso part. While working on the armor pieces, it will be moved a lot, so legs and arms will be quite a disturbing things >_<
2. Wrapped the body around in the plastic film (I used regular food wrap, it worked just fine), to prevent color from leather damage the doll.
3. With a sculptural plasticine I formed armor shape. I need this armor be fitting, but not tight. So I need a little additional material to the body, because boiled leather will replicate all body curves, all joints and even the nipples. X) You can also make an armor or a leather piece of clothing that fits like a glove without using the plasticine.
4. After waited about 40 min. for plasticine to harden (a faster method: put the piece you are working on in a fridge for about 20 minutes) I wrapped the body once again.

Reblogging this faster than light! Thank you very much for this wonderful tutorial!
Today I received the Mako eyes I ordered in July. I asked to mix the iris and the pupil of two different types of the MOON collecttion and the result is very satisfying, I like them very much. Now to continue to eternally wait for Dollzone to send the body I bought for Stryx (my estimation is mid January)
The new sober shoes I bought on sale for Mr K came this week. Still waiting for the Mako eyes for Stryx to come.
Thinking about buying a respirator, any advice from my fellow hobbysts about not too pricey but good ones?
Thank you very much @sicktress and @resinpunk!! (if someone has other advice they are welcome, I'll order the respirator sunday.)

PLEASE HELP ITALY
at 3:33 last night a devastating earthquake ripped through the center regions of Italy. WE NEED HELP, WE NEED IT BADLY. even if you’re not italian, even if you’re so far away from here, whole towns have been ripped apart and shockwaves keep happening — AN UNKNOWN NUMBER OF PEOPLE ARE STILL TRAPPED BENEATH CRUMBLED BUILDINGS. it’s devastating, and we need help.
even if you’re far away, there’s something you can do:
— YOU CAN DONATE TO THE ITALIAN RED CROSS HERE. Even a few dollars would be great help right now.
— YOU CAN CHECK IN WITH YOUR LOCAL RED CROSSES ABOUT INTERNATIONAL DONATIONS.
— YOU CAN TRACK THE TAG #PRAYFORITALY ON TWITTER AND LOOK OUT FOR HELP REQUESTS.
if you’re in italy, or if you’re italian:
— PLEASE CHECK IN WITH YOUR LOCAL BLOOD BANKS ABOUT DONATIONS. Avis, Fidas and all the other blood banks are collecting blood from all over italy to help.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE USED TO EARTHQUAKES AND DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT: the earthquake had an ipocenter of 4 kms, it was devastating, and Italy is ill equipped to deal with earthquakes, as the ones in 2009 and 2012 proved. we need all the help we can get.
FOR THE ITALIAN TUMBLERS/PER GLI ITALIANI:
C’E’ UN DISPERATO BISOGNO DI SANGUE (contattate i centri trasfusionali più vicini, l’Avis sta raccogliendo sangue da tutta Italia) E BENI DI PRIMA NECESSITA’ (cibi frazionabili e nondeperibili, stoviglie usa e getta, tanta tanta acqua, coperte ecc) - LA CROCE ROSSA STA ORGANIZZANDO RACCOLTE IN VARIE SEDI, CHIEDETE INFORMAZIONI. EDIT: C’E’ GRANDE URGENZA DI MEDICINALI DA BANCO E MATERIALE MEDICO ED IGIENICO DI OGNI TIPO.
N.B. CHIUNQUE SIA IN BUONA SALUTE E PESI ALMENO 50KG PUO’ DONARE IL SANGUE. L’Avis accerterà la vostra idoneità comunque, ma se siete in buona salute PER FAVORE DONATE.
STAY SAFE, and if you find more ways to help and donate, PLEASE LET ME KNOW SO I CAN UPDATE THIS POST.
For those wondering why we’re desperate for donators: the blood banks were already having a hard time keeping stocked up as it was, before the earthquake. So they are getting drained right now.
The avatars set I made for the DOA contest. The version I submitted was without watermark and with a trasparent background.
How to make miniature dougnuts.
You will need:
Polymer clay. Any brand will do. The colours I personally used were a chocolate brown, orange and sculpey living doll light. You can just use beige or a pale ivory colour if you want to skip the mixing step.
Sculpey “bake and bond” if you want opaque glazing. Translucent liquid clay if you want, obviously, translucent glazing.
Soft pastels. I used Brown, cream and orange.
IF YOU’RE USING TRANSLUCENT LIQUID CLAY, USE POWDERED FOOD COLOURING
Something you don’t mind getting sculpey bake and bond or liquid clay on. ((I used a bit of paint mixing paper))
a clean surface. You can use paper but I personally prefer a nonporous surface so I used a tile.
a toothbrush that you don’t use.
an oven (of course. PLEASE don’t microwave polymer clay)
a toothpick or something else you can use to mix.
something to shave off pastel with.
A small chisel tip brush.
Sculpey gloss glaze
Step 1.
Get a ball of clay that’s the colour you want the ring of your doughnut to be. I’ve got some chocolate brown, orange and living doll pale all mixed here. Don’t use too much brown or orange just use a little bit of brown to darken the living doll and a tiny bit of orange to make it more tan coloured. Knead those 3 colours together until it is no longer marbly.
Step 2.
Roll out your clay ball into a long saussage shape. Depending on how big or small you want your doughnut depends on how much clay you use and how long and thick you make the saussage.((teehee))
Step 3.
Bend the saussage around into a circle. It doesn’t have to be perfect. smooth the two ends of the saussage together to make the circle look more like a circle and less like a bendy saussage.
Step 4.
Texture the doughnut. Use a toothbrush and tap it against the doughnut so it looks rough and more like a doughnut, less like a circle of clay.
Step 5.
Get your pastels and mix them in a small bowl (I literally used a small bowl) or other container. Use equal parts dark brown and pale brown and a teeny tiny amount of orange so in the later steps it looks like the doughnut is cooked, not burnt.
Step 6.
Get your brush and dip it in the pastel dust, gently dabbing it onto the entire doughnut, including the hole in the middle. Do NOT worry if the texturing from the toothbrush goes, you can re-do this later.
Step 7.
Squirt out a lot of your liquid clay or bake and bond then shave some pastel dust of whatever colour you want your doughnut frosting to be (I used a bit too little at first) I personally used brown to make chocolate frosting. if you’re using lquid clay that’s translucent, use the powdered food colouring.
After you’ve got the pastel powder or food colouring powder on the liquid, mix it with a toothpick or whatever you want to mix it with.
Step 8.
Apply the mixed liquid clay or bake and bond to the top of the doughnut with a toothpick (I used a sculpting tool -o-). It’s okay if it dribbles into the middle or down the sides.
Step 9.
Bake in the oven at 150C for about 15 minutes. I also didn’t take a picture for this so here is a stock image of an oven.
Step 10.
If you used bake and bond, it’ll end up matte. If you’re okay with this, skip this step if not. do this step.
Apply glossy glaze to your doughnut’s glazing.
And…. YOU ARE DONE. Congrats! Have a doughnut!
can someone tell me some legit sites for buying bjd dolls at an affordable price? i know of resinsoul and mirodoll, but they don’t have the right selection for me (i got my first doll from mirodoll and she’s beautiful, but i need more variety :0) please and thank u!
A couple weeks ago I ordered from Clover singing doll base (but I already bought dolls from their ebay). Actually they are having some sale events plus a free shipping event.
I have had this version prepped for months and forgot to post it. As you may have guessed, this is part one of the booklet I made for the Mod Panel I did [poorly] at Resin Rose last Spring.
Gorgeous! Mods are not my best skill but I’d love to try this some day.
Finally I bought a body for Stryx!! I discovered the non-ebay site of Jeeryama Clover singing doll base (I confirmed it was her before buying) and I took advantage of their site-only event for Free EMS shipping plus the 15% of sale over Dollzone products, so for a new Dz body I paid less than buying it used on the marketplace. \*o*/ They are having summer sales on many other brands if someone is interested. P.S. The prices under “Shop price” are still WITHOUT the %sale, it’ll be applied during check out before the payment.
I bought the DC BJHands and a cute hooden coat with bunny ears for Stryx from Alice's Collection. My usual luck, I sent the order few hours BEFORE the start of the 10% sale event on the clothes... Hope my DZ-body/DC-Hands hybrid will work well. We'll find out near Christmas, I think.

Hello! Thank you for the answer. Actually if you could find a comparison photo you would do me a great favor. But no pressure if you cannot. Thanks again.
Seems I never took, or at least saved any comparison pictures for the DC jointed hands vs DollZone’s B45-014 hands. >_< But I printscreened this for you.
and if you can handle horrendous ramblings you can also check out the video where I showed them here:
https://youtu.be/uyePDpTWiW0?t=6m58s
I know they look fairly similar, but keep in mind his default hands are pretty delicate to begin with. I hope it gave you a better idea to see if the hands would work for your hybrid and if you have any other questions please feel free to ask. ^_^
Thank you very much for the comparition photo and video, they were very useful. They seems small but not tiny-small, I think they could work for a young girl like my Stryx seems (I plan to mod that body in a young girl one chopping off the penis). I'll try to buy them, and if when I'll have them in front of me they'll not work I'll try to resell them and stick to the body default ones. I already have the funds to buy the body and hands ready, I'm only waiting for DZ to start another interesting event on the 200/250$ scale or for a bit of sales from jeeryama.
