✧・゚: *✧・゚:* Hello, beautiful~! *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
So I tend to hyper fixate on things that I find interesting and they're kind of like flavors of the week. One week, I'm obsessed with this thing, and the next I'll abandon it entirely to pick up something else, and it looks like I'm back at it again but with Japanese street fashion. For those of you who don't know, I'm kind of super into BJDs even though I don't own one (they're SUPER expensive and I'm currently saving up!), and I've recently begun doll customizing with Monster High dolls I've picked up at various Goodwill stores over the years. My first girl came out super cute, so I figured I wanted to make a dollsona using a Catty Noir doll I bought from Ebay recently. I've never had a frilly character before and I've always wanted one, so I designed her with rainbow decora kei and fairy kei fashion in mind, and now I'm kind of fixated. I just love all the different styles of Japanese street fashion! It makes me want to doodle them all, and I thought about offering some outfit designs or harajuku-themed adopts. Is that something you all would be interested in? o 0o???
TLDR: Harajuku-themed outfit or character adopts; Y/N?
FA+

*ahem* Pardon. Talking about my own fixations there... But, yes, totally more Harajuku stuff! I say indulge in the fixations!
P.S. Oh, wow, you do custom MH? Ever post any pics online? I can't paint at all so I love to see others' work!
And yes, I do! Though I've only done one MH repaint so far and posted it. Like I said, I only just recently started, and I don't have a lot of work up. I do have some concepts and stuff, though, if you want to see them! I'd be happy to share them over telegram or something. I post the pictures up on a sideblog on tumblr called SweetLittleGifts. <3
If it's not too rude to show off a couple pics, I do have some photos from the panel (from my old camera, so they are a little rough). Just to help inspire the fixation, if nothing else!

I totally feel you on the sculpted clothes -_- its not a doll anymore, its an action figure hah, what little person wants a doll thats forever dressed the same?!
