Graphite | Ageless | Caesura (Ink) x Staffy (Broomie) Agender | They/them >> Art themed neos >>> He/she AroAce

Facts/trivia:

Wooden doll bitty

10 inches tall

Hand carved by Zure out of maple and purpleheart wood.

Neck-peg & wrist + ankle joints are made of metal

Blue sections are just maple wood dyed blue, acting as a fake ecto

Can't move their eyelights, they're only painted on, only ever looks straight forwards; vision isn't limited though

Jaw + eyelids only move straight up and down. Only has a 'top' eyelid

Can't change their facial expression, since it's either carved or painted on as is; compensates with overly dramatic/exaggerated body language

Was supposed to be able to move / control it more than they can but was never entirely completed…

Tail is made of fibres from Staffy's brush-head, they can control / move the tail freely

Has good / detailed points of articulation on their body but is still just a wooden doll so there are limits

Most of the restrictions are in their torso even though they have 2 upper torso/'rib' points + the lower torso/'ecto'

Wears bracers & gloves

Can't feel pain

Full ref with doll nudity under the cut

Inkmare shipkid doodled this arvo 'cuz I felt like drawing a small creature. Her name is Vesper, maybe, idk I haven't really decided? I like it but I don't know if it's already in use elsewhere. She's a sword collecting nerd and she likes to cosplay and sew.

(Her green outfit is based on a pūriri moth/ghost moth. They are massive and will make an audible thump on your window at night. My Dad once bought one home when I was a kid and I was very scared of it lol)
