Sdink is making such a big deal of her pictures being used for the recast dolls. Dollshe isn’t doing anything and so what if your pictures are taken as the promo? Your faceup isnt so fuckingfab and everyone knows S and L’s own style of faceup. Its just a promo pic fgawdsake

Dollshe isn’t doing anything?

Mr. Dollshe was so upset to hear that his David was being recasted(along with other of his dolls) that he is now postponing the shipments of Aramis so he can reshape the insides of the sculpt to make them harder to recast.

Is that doing fucking nothing?

You people wonder why we want nothing to do with you, even after something like this happens. This recaster is using SDinks photos to sell a bootleg of Mr. Dollshe’s artwork and is claiming it as their own - which means people who are buying these dolls are expecting what the pictures are offering. They are the same photos as the ones on the Dollshe website, which only adds to the sheer rage, because now people can be tricked into purchasing this fake.

"Oh look! Its a David! I saw this on the Dollshe website but here is so much cheaper! Oh man, I can get the faceup too?!"

Do you see how that could be a god damn problem? 

Are you still going to ask us “so what”, now? This isn’t about how “fuckingfab” Sdink’s work is - those are pictures of her work and of Mr. Dollshe’s product. These are legitimate pictures being used to push a fake product and no, Anon, “everyone” doesn’t know that this is the work of recasts because it is on a site that sells a lot of other things and is incredibly misleading to someone who has yet to be informed of the dangers of recast bullshit like this.

So no, it is not “just a promo pic fgawdsake”. This is a huge deal and you should be ashamed of yourself for thinking otherwise.

Yet more examples of why the pro-recast community is literal scum and why I will never deal with them.

I understand you block people because you don't want to be scammed, but I really wish you wouldnt see all recast supporters and owners as scammers. Very much all of them, including myself, are against recast owners selling their recasts as legit and if they are found, they will for sure be outed for others to not be scammed as well. Its like how some people group all anti recast people to be elitist bullies, its not true for most of them

I’m really glad that you don’t want recasts passed off as legits! I agree that it’s a bad idea for people to get away with that.But unfortunately, by buying a recast, you’re already participating in a scam. You helped thieves prosper without giving artists their proper recompense. You helped eliminate trust in the secondhand market, and you’ve reduced the resale value of limited dolls, thereby taking value away from the doll economy as a whole.  I don’t just want recasts out of the hobby because I don’t want to accidentally buy one.  I want recasts out of the hobby because they have all of the negative impacts I just listed.  From your perspective, selling a recast as a legit crosses a moral line.  From my perspective, you’ve already crossed the moral line, because I drew it way back at “buying a recast.”

This set was inspired by the enchanting and thought-provoking collection of short stories Calendar of Tales by Neil Gaiman, specifically, December Tale.

I’m going to see Neil Gaiman at Carnegie Hall next Friday, and I can hardly wait.

The Young Self is Dollstown Rian, the Adult Self is Soom Meisa.

I can't get over how gorgeous their faceups are ;w;

The “Flash on dolls”-guide.

Having a cheap camera is no excuse for making bad pictures. You CAN make good pictures with a simple point and click camera too, you don’t need a expensive DSLR.

So you want to make a quick picture of your doll(s) in the evening/nighttime and in your room? Don’t turn the flash off. The picture will get grainy and yellowish (and probably shaky) - but don’t just shot and click.

Hold a mirror in front of the flash - and make sure that its close enough, otherwise you’ll get one really light area and lots of dark on your picture.

The mirror will redirect the flashlight and let it bounce of your room walls - which leads to softer light that direct lightning. And voila, better picture! You may need to play a bit around with angles of the mirror - different angles of course lead to different lightning. And of course.. .the closer you are to the wall, the lighter the redirected light. I don’t have experience with colored wall or rooms with little to no free wall, you need to test that ;)

Tag me along if anyone tests it :D I hope the guide is useful.
