Elyra got a fancy little photoshoot back in March while I was hanging out with my local BJD group of friends, that I forgot to upload here.
I was switching between my 50mm and 35mm lenses here, as it was too difficult to hold her up with one arm in the yellow flowers and hold the camera far enough away with the 50mm lens.
I still like how these photos turned out. I'm getting better at shooting with scenery, when I stop hermit-ing that is...
The what is what:
Sculpt: Fairyland MNF Ryeon on the old A-line girl body
Accessories: Ears sculpted out of Apoxie Sculpt and handmade tail both by me
Eyes: 14mm Ashuradark Eyes in unicorn
Outfit: Secondhand mostly unknown, overall shorts by Doll Heart, shoes from Fatiao
Welcome back Elyra! I bought her secondhand from a good friend of mine this past December 2023.
It's still so surreal to me that I got my dream MNF back in my collection. I had to sell my first one back in 2015 due to needing emergency funds when one of our roommates lost their job and my wife and I (back then fiancee) needed to pay bills.
I had listed a bunch of dolls, and sadly, my MNF Ryeon sold the fastest. It's a sale I have always regretted because I did really like her.
This Ryeon isn't the same one, but is from the same year, but she accepted the old Ryeon's character and name without a hitch! I'm so glad I have my kitty/fox girl back.
More blathering about the doll and such under the break
Elyra is really settling into her new shell and look quite nicely. Let me show a quick comparison of my previous to current one:
I did not ever expect to get her back, especially once Fairyland discontinued the older sculpts, so I didn't keep any of her things. So now she has a new wig, outfits, shoes, eyes, tail, and ears.
The tail and ears are now both made by me, though I do intend to re-buy the ears she had before. I just didn't want her to be without kitty/fox ears until my friend casts a few more of the old ears.
She was a fox in the past, but now I'm undecided on if she should be a cat instead. Her old tail was a big real fox tail, the new one is made of faux fur, and is fully posable thanks to the wire I put in it.
She's also good friends with little Ursa, my old DZ Shoyo, who I got around the same time as I got Elyra 1.0
