Oooooo ... he is all dark and awsome ^.^

Me likes ^.^

Hehe. He is. Im glad you like him. ^^

Friend of mine got a doll like this (there's some name for them that I don't know) I have to say the face looks really good, the painting job makes it more noticeable but the fine details in the face just make the whole thing better

Ball jointed dolls, or BJDs, or ABJDs.

Thanks! On this doll I opened his eyes like that.. and originally his nose used to be more pronounced and pointed. I accidently flateneed it once when cleaning off his first few faces.. x.x So I had to fix his nose.

I find it absolutely amazing that you're able to crate such realistic and awesome dolls like that o.o Are his eyes glass or are they painted too?

I didnt make my dolls. I merely customized them. These are Ball jointed dolls. His eyes are glass.

Ohhh, okay, I see! ^^ Well, you did an awesome job at the customization anyways!

Thanks!

I like this version better!

Me too! The girl who I commissioned to do his face did a wonderful job. ^^

Where did you purchase the original doll from? It looks like one of the SOOM faces. :x

Rail is a nanuri07 event head that I got from luts. He is on a fantasy doll male body.

Aha. He's a precious little thing regardless.

Makes me wish I could afford one of my own. 3;

Thanks ^^

If I can afford one, let alone ten, then anyone can. You just have to budget and save, like for anything else.

I prefer the cash sink that tattoos tend to become. Got plans for a half back piece in the works, it's becoming a compulsion now. I WILL GET MY WINGS DAMMIT!! >>;;

Cute doll, though. :3

He looks a lot better now. Very handsome indeed. :3

I agree. ^^ The crummy attempt at painting him that I had done didnt do him any justice. He looks alot better now.

I especially love his hair though. What's it made of?
I've always admired these dolls, particularly because they can be so realistic and they all seem to have their own personalities. Almost like little people. :3

Hehe. Rail's wig is made of fake fur. Makes it nice and soft and fluffy and fun to style.

Thats one of the reasons I love them, because they are so realistic and complely poseable and customizable. Heh, I do develope characters for each of my dolls.

I've been wanting to get one so badly. There's one in particular I'm dying to have, but he's just so expensive. BJD dolling is a very pricey hobby.

What one do you want? And that is true.. But if you think about it, most hobbies are expensive these days. Gaming is expensive, consols alone are usually around 300 or so bucks, then games are usually 59 dollars. Cars are expensive, making models are expensive.. My dad flies model airplanes, his cost him 400 dollars.

This guy: http://tinyurl.com/yb9ndgh
He's $145, not including shipping, face-up, hair and skin. He looks so much like a character of mine, though. You know the kind that may as well be one of your children? And he has such a nice face.
My uncle builds small model ships and those certainly cost him, and let's not forget the $100+ spent on my Prismas that are currently being neglected. Come to think of it, I should probably dig those out at some point...

He is adorable. ^^

145 isnt bad really for one of these. So yeah, if I can afford them, Im sure anyone can.. It just takes budgeting and saving.

Easier said than done when you're broke though. x3 I'm hoping I'll be able to get him eventually, and after that it'll be a while before I can scrape up enough for a wig and the other essentials.

Heh. True. Just got to work at it. Scrimp and save. What size is that one? Let me know if you ever do get him.. I have extra eyes, and wigs and stuff, that I wouldnt mind sharing. Oh and Id suggest getting the default face-up when you do manage to get him.

He's 43cm, about.
And wow. x3 When I do get him, I'd appreciate it massively if you were willing to share. That'd be a huge help.
I think I'm actually closer to getting one of these two ladies: http://www.denverdoll.com/ashtondrakedelilah.php (at the bottom) They're affordable and cute, and I think I'd be willing to sacrifice my first doll being a boy just for the sake of actually having one. Do you think they'd be good for a first?

Ok, an msd. I have plenty of eyes for msds, and a few extra wigs. Just depends on what youd be looking for.

Hm.. Iv known a few people who did that. They regreted it. Id get the doll that tugs at you more, rather then the one that is easiest to get.

I was thinking that. In which case it would be the one I mentioned before. Even despite not having sexy elf ears, there's just something about him that really draws me to him. I mean there are certainly dolls that are more attractive and have less childish, rounded features, but for some reason it's just like I get the feeling that he's mine, he's just not on my shelf yet, lol.
On that one would you recommend me spending the extra ten dollars to get the face-up or would it be easier to do it myself? I'm in a bit of a financial pit at the moment, but I don't want to end up messing up on something and really regretting it later on.

Thats certainly good then. You would deffidently regret not getting him if you got the other one first. He is adorable, I wouldnt say he is unattractive. ^^ And everyone likes different looks and such. If he is the one calling, then he is deffidently the one to start with.

I tell every first doll owner to get the default face-up. You can always add, or change it later on once you are more comfortable and confident.

If you want more info on them, Id suggest looking up the Den of Angels forum. Thats where I hang out and post pictures, and oogle at other peoples dolls. It has alot of information also.

I think I'll do that. Could I have your username on there so I can stal- er, see what you're up to? x3
I just go through talking with the one who handles all the money. She said it might be a bit before I get him, so I'm hoping it'll be in the relatively near future.

XD Hehe. Foxxian is my user name on there as well.

Well at least she didnt say no. ^^

I'm agentorange on there now. c:
And yes, I'm glad she didn't say no. c: I'd have to be very sad if she did.

Loving his new look. Definitely looks more vampiric and undead.

Thanks. He looks alot more like how I had invisioned him to be.

He looks a lot better now. :D

I love his right eye, by the way. o.o

Thanks! He really does look alot better...x.x I just cant seem to paint on 3d surfaces very well.

Once I do her faceup (hopefully it wont be so bad), I'll have to get my girl uploaded on here ^-^

Send me a link when you do! If you remember to. Id love to see. ^^

I'm on D.O.A too. ^^ I will!

Cool! Im Foxxian on DoA also.

Neat! ^-^

This is lovely
