I painted my recently arrived Impldoll Moira in dark tan skin. She is an absolute stunner! I am not entirely happy with how the eyebrows and lashes turned out, but it's good enough for me (for now).

I also made her eyes, but these are only temporary ones, as it took me another month to make her her actual eyes. Only difference is that she now has round pupils instead of cat ones.

Commissions are open!

If you'd like to commission me, please check out my website with the most up to date information!

She's absolutely gorgeous!

Gotta show off my newest arrival here too!

I reshelled Queen Ursa, as her old shell simply didn’t suit the character. At first I was gonna pass this sculpt, but when I saw blank owner pics in dark tan I knew she was way more fitting.

I’m honestly just really glad all her old things (other than the shoes) fit her perfectly still. I was especially worried about the wig, but it fits like a glove.

The what is what:

Sculpt: Impldoll Moira in dark tan on the 63cm slim muscle body

Outfit: Eva’s Workshop

Wig: Zazou Doll Customs in Smartdoll size (8.5in)

Aesthetics and eyes: me over at @izasfaceups

LeighAnn (Bimong Narae N406 mod)

Not sure why I never tried this wig on her before, but it definitely suits her more than the other one.

Long time no post~

I seriously hope nobody else photoshops their dolls onto pictures of protesters marching. I totally understand where the sentiment is coming from (and I am genuinely glad that people in the BJD hobby care enough to express it), but it seems really disrespectful to use pictures of actual people who are actually out there protesting as a backdrop for your doll. Especially if you weren't there. There are other ways to show support.

CP Delf Soony. Most likely the only NS doll I will ever own.

When I first joined the hobby I fell absolutely in love with a doll but she was nowhere near being in my budget. By the time I would have been able to afford her, she’d been discontinued by the company for three years. 

I was disappointed but not heartbroken. I moved on and decided I didn’t need or want her. I would occasionally look at pictures of her and fall in love again, but thought to myself that it wouldn’t be possible to get her. On a whim, four months ago, I decided to post a WTB thread on DoA. I forgot about it. I wasn’t expecting a response, but I ended up getting one about a month ago.

Someone was selling their doll and their price was reasonable. I accepted! How could I not say yes to the opportunity to own this doll? She’s so hard to find in the second hand market.

I’m so excited to have the opportunity to own this girl and see what I can do with her. But at the same time I am very anxious. What if I don’t like her? What if she doesn’t work out? Or worse... what if I can’t paint her? She wouldn’t fit in with any of my other dolls appearance-wise and she’s also in NS because she was never released in any other resin color besides normal and white. But I’d be so happy for the experience. I would be able to say that I saw this doll in person. I would be able to say I held her and painted her and she was beautiful when I had her. But ultimately I do want her to stay.

This is my first free weekend since I started my classes and I think I’m just going to spend that time playing with my dolls.

Also I’m totally being vague on purpose. I’m not saying what sculpt she is or showing any pictures until I repaint her. :B

LeighAnn "Seung" Park

She's the only doll I own that has a middle and a last name...

I've had this girl since 2016 but her first face-up was pretty bad. I didn't give her a new one until a couple of weeks ago. I was desperate to sell her, so re-did her face-up. Naraes tend to move better on the marketplace when they have nice face-ups. However, it was a trap. Once I added the freckles, it was over. She isn't going anywhere.

What am I doing with my collection?

I keep revisiting this question over and over again, especially now that I “need” something to distract me from my responsibilities...

I tell myself over and over that I don’t want too many dolls, especially since I don’t really have space and since money is an issue now. I don’t want dolls to take over my life. I have other hobbies that need financing too (oh and other more important responsibilities but who cares about those, right?). Also, my current group needs more shoes, stockings, outfits, wigs, and photos.

I find myself wanting more dolls the more stressed I am *hint, I am so very stressed right now*. Which is weird because there’s no instant gratification in the doll buying process. There’s also the added element of whether or not I can sell a doll if I don’t like it. It’s not as easy as it used to be. Most sales are a considerable loss these days. 

Looking through my current group, I would prefer that there be at least two dolls that fit together. For example, my Petit Gem, Pukifee, and my Griffs all go together. My Naraes and my JID are together. I currently have five outliers who don’t have another doll to match them. By “fit” and “match” I mean dolls that look good together and photograph nicely together. 

At some point (sooner rather than later, hopefully) I want to let go of the doll purchasing aspect of this hobby. I really want to be in a place where I look at my collection and think, “This is perfect.” I think I was really close a year and a half ago, but I had to sell some of those dolls. I wish I had been able to keep them.
