★ — Starter from Hanbin || @canuspulchra
★ — After Hanbin had accepted the commission, it took a couple of days before the imported parts arrived at his workshop but once they did, he immediately unpacked them to take a look at them and check their quality. To his surprise, everything was of superb quality and it made him eager to get to it but first, he had to put everything in order and prepare his tools and everything else that he needed to start.
It wasn't going to be an easy task because it was the first time, he was going to create a life-size doll. For a moment, he worried that he should've thought about it a little more before accepting the commission but the amount of money he was offered, he just couldn't say no to as it was definitely going to allow him to create dolls for quite a while without having to worry about whether or not he could actually afford to buy more parts, tools, and other things.
Putting all the parts together was the easiest part and only took him a couple of hours to make sure that everything was in the right place and secured. The head, however, took Hanbin almost a month to finish and the longer he worked on the doll, the more attached he grew to it as it turned out perfect in every single way. It made him prouder than he had ever been before.
When he was done, it was time to prepare himself to part ways with the doll but Hanbin had reached a point where he really wasn't sure if he could sell it. He contacted the wealthy client and begged to be allowed to keep the doll but they insisted and wanted the doll to be shipped immediately. With a heavy heart, he prepared the doll to be shipped the next day and carefully placed it in a large wooden box that was laying on the floor in one of the corners of his workshop before going to bed.
Hanbin didn't sleep very well and was still half asleep when he walked into the workshop to check the doll one last time before closing the box and calling someone to come to pick it up and have it shipped out to the client but to his surprise, the doll wasn't in the box anymore and was sitting on top of it instead which really startled the doll maker and left him speechlessly staring at it.
