Cats and Dolls

My Superbuy/Taobao finds

I saw some other posts sharing and I figured there is no harm in also sharing my list for doll stuff (wigs, clothes, accessories, eyes).

List of Taobao shops on Superbuy I like

These links are to superbuy as I can't view Taobao.

Lots of them are stuff I see sold on Legenddoll too, just way cheaper directly from the maker!

Do note that I did not buy from all of these stores, and that since Taobao is only visible through Superbuy for me, I can't always be 100% sure how good they are.

Also since it's my personal reminder list, the notes are all over the place HAHA Sorry...

Background haul!

I want to take more pictures that aren't just a white background to do my dolls justice!

And so I looked for a cheap way to print posters in custom sizes. At 5-7EUR for 70x100cm, repro is the best price I could find. Then I searched for free to use pictures on unsplash that I felt would look good as doll photography backgrounds.

And ooh I love it! I have 6 printed right now, here is some of them and my stupid setup (they are just hung across a square piece of wood that then leans against the closet lol).

Stay tuned for the proper shots once I edit them ehehe

this makes me happy!

the adult version of my plant baby sculpt i said i wanted to make!

this is also a remix of my first 3d sculpt. i didn't really feel the need to remake her before, but when i thought about what the adult design for the little buds would look like, i realized it was very close to that sculpt -> instead of starting from scratch, i edited it to be more in line with my current aesthetics & skill level. this also has the added benefit of making the old doll the awkward teen phase of this creature.

art allows us to ask important questions, such as "what if an apple core was a small girl?"

i'll hopefully be printing a green apple version soon, because there are some styling & faceup choices i want to try with this sculpt. also i couldn't decide what to do with her mouth, so version 1.0 is mouthless, but i want to give the next one a cute grin.

Outdoor cat owners have no concept of basic ecology and it shows. "You're saying my kitty is EVIL for following its instincts???????" obviously not, you idiot, its an animal. I don't blame it because it is designed to hunt and doesn't understand human morality. The cat's human owner, though, should stop pretending that millions of people letting their pets hunt native species for fun WON'T make their ecossystem collapse. If you stop hearing birdsong in your neighborhood its your fault 👍.

Also cats are domestic animals????? Its your pet. Its your responsability to take care of it and it certainly doesn't look like you are doing this if your pet spends 90% of the day on the streets. Outside cats are in great risk for being ran over, stolen, beaten, poisoned, mauled or eaten by wild animals. A mildly bored cat is way better than a dead one and besides? Just offer your pet enrichment. You don't need to risk its life to keep it happy. You can even let it outside with supervision!! Look how many options we have. Insisting the only way to keep your cat happy is allowing it to wreck the environment and possibly die is not only fucking irresponsible, but also lazy and shows that you don't really care for the wildlife around you.

A bunny for easter! :) Haven't seen Fia in a while... I tried using fabric as a backdrop today, it's pretty cool! But I want even nicer ones in future.

most of the paints i used on this doll glow in the dark, which also makes her look ultra saturated in regular light. she turned out mega cute & i love her.

another teapot animal head variant, because this sculpt is comforting to revisit. i find the speculative biological implications of the tea cup babies disturbing, but have willed them into existence regardless.

it's not quite spring yet where i live, but it's getting there. hence i made some seasonal lil buds. they're about 12cm tall, the head sprout included, so very tiny very precious.

really one of the things i hate most about the ai fuckening we're currently in is that it positions me as the person wearing a tinfoil hat when i try to suggest that maybe handing over biometric and personal data to tech companies is bad, actually.

like maybe perhaps perchance we don't want it scanning our children's faces to do age verification because we don't know what it's going to do with those scans down the line. maybe we shouldn't be using it like a therapy machine and telling it our deepest, most painful things. maybe we shouldn't be giving it a dossier of our detailed medical information, especially in a world (in the us) where things like not being able to hold pre-existing conditions against someone for insurance is increasingly threatened. perhaps we shouldn't be scanning our faces for funny little short videos into something that can also generate porn on demand with all of the data it's collected.

maybe, stay with me and please stop building the tinfoil hat i can see you putting on my head coworker/friend/casual acquaintance, ai ISN'T a miracle to solve humanity's problems and is instead just more tech churned out by tech bros who have not historically been super great when it comes to morals.
