you first
Got my shipping notice from Lizanna. Place your bets on the free eye colour and type. I think they will be Stardust Ruby.
>>15132080
Let's keep that kind of stuff out of our civil, gentle /jp thread. Please also do not make fun of people's daughters, even if they have weird flat foot.
>>15132080
It's not really a big deal, anon.
>>15132114

Ok. Can we continue the cute underwear (or nothing at all)party at least?

I bought a dress. Seller, who is also the designer, hooked me up with a free rabbit!
>>15132907
That's an adorable outfit - who's the designer?

I she is quite something. I like her a lot however see why most dolls tend to have a fringe. While I kind of like her 5head in sense of a cute 'flaw' are there any similar doll heads that don't have quite such a pronounced forehead?
>>15132994
Thanks, some neat stuff there.
has any company made a 1:12 version of cat keyhole lingerie yet?
>>15133102
I think it's because she has a DDH01 head, which is often meant to be children's head, and subsequently have a bigger forehead.
Most of the other DD heads seem to have more adult proportions and probably smaller foreheads.
>>15133242
I see. Thanks for that.
>>15133236
That would be very tiny. There's a 1/3 one on etsy though.
I have like 2 dollfie dreams (unless I sell one because I haven't played with her in forever) that are in need of new wigs. Where's a good affordable place with nice wigs I can shop at?
>tfw waiting for my first doll to come in when I've already got the entire outfit
This is hell.
>>15134443
What kind of outfit and doll did you get, anon?
>>15134479
Outfit on left, doll on right. I also got some matching horns from the same company. I'm a little concerned about quality (I kind of jumped like an idiot due to a sale but most reviews I've seen of the company online have been favorable).I also have slowly fallen more in love with anime style dolls while waiting for her to ship and might pick up one of the Lutz dolls/heads later that were the same size.
>>15134289
I bought a couple of wigs from Lullaby Poem a few weeks ago and they're really nice and not too expensive.
>>15134494
Er, doll quality*, mind. The thing that's most awful is that ebay has been stuck on "shipping info received" for a week on her.
>>15134494
where did you buy the doll from?
>>15134516
http://www.ebay.com/usr/liwenjie0310
A proxy service/seller for Magic Time, which I've seen favorable things on. All their bad reviews were on wigs/side parts, so I'm hoping I didn't fuck up.
>>15134443
TFW my doll is a nudist because I didn't like their base clothes and don't have much for them to wear instead.
>>15134535
thanks anon, i'm considering one myself.
Hi guys what do you think of the price of this dollfie?
I'm tying to buy my first doll tho.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/322085597153
>>15134707
>ebay
>first doll
>oh boy here we go
>check link
>surprised
Ok so that's a somewhat reasonable price for M.O.M.O as there is one on Mandarake for about US$765 but that's not including freight.
Normally we tell people to avoid ebay because it's riddled with scalpers who mark prices up ridiculously but it seems you've found an actual legitimate seller.
One of my dolls came from ebay actually. Found her lost in a sea of resellers though.
>>15134707
if you live in europe, i think she's still for sale brand new on tokyo otaku mode for cheaper. they don't have the license to sell her to every country, so you'll have to check.
there's also a momo on mandarake. still cheaper.
>>15134155
Yep, but it isn't really a doll I want it for.
The guide I read online said if I'm going to introduce a new doll into the house that she should be much younger than the resident doll/s to invoke their maternal instincts, otherwise the residents may view the new arrival as a threat and possibly either bully, harass, disown or potentially even kill it.
I thought they were just exaggerating because I'd never had any problems before but then this shit happened. Unnamed-chan was torn to pieces by the others overnight while I slept and this what I was greeted by when I woke up.
I'm so fucking devastated and angry right now. The part I'm really concerned about is there are parts of the corpse missing. Am I going to put a slipper on and find a dehydrated leg? Or have they eaten it? They left the body right where I'd find it first thing too. As if they were sending me a message.
>>15134757
>M.O.M.O brand new
I'll believe it when I see it.

You are much better at photography than me anyway. I never know what to put my dolls in front of to photograph them. They also need some spring clothes.
>>15134942
All my food items get along fine.
I think you rased some angry girls.
>>15135240
You eat your dolls?
>>15134942
You'll get a leg in a slipper, guarantee it.
>>15135110
They all look warm and toasty.
Also how's that Mayu? I still can't deside if I want her.
>>15135739
I used to not be a fan of Mayu at all but then this little cutie, with her magnificent thighs, came into my life.
>>15135270
>You'll get a leg in a slipper, guarantee it.
yay. I have to de-spider my shoes every day now I have to de-body part them too.
>>15135240
They were all so sweet before this happened and they get along with each other so well. Maybe it's because the new girl had different coloured hair?
>>15134494
That outfit looks really cute!
>>15134494
Link to that outfit?
Also, why are Alice dresses so perfect for dolls?
>>15134289
Licht is having a sale on their website right now, theres some very cute ones in DD size for $15. They tend to be very soft and easy to manage. Just don't be like me and buy 6 wigs and an underwear set because its on sale.
>>15134885
You might have better luck asking in the Shinki thread on /toy/. They know where to get a lot of 1/12 clothes.
>>15136951
Thank you!
>>15136975
The outfit was called Blue Mille-Feuille Dress Set / Mini'. It was being resold, so you'd have to see if you could find it elsewhere.
New clothes came in the mail. took some quick photos.
>>15138168
>>15137091
>>15134499
I checked boh out, but the shipping was pricy if I'm just buying like one or maybe 2 wigs assuming they're really good quality too.
How fast is the shipping at least? If it's like super duper fast I might consider biting the bullet.
>>15138873
No experience with Licht but my order from LP was mailed two days after making the order and it arrived about five days later, from Macau to west coast US.
>>15138172
>>15138168
Is that really how that's meant to sit on the body? That bottom just doesn't look right at all.
You bought DDDy shit again didn't you.
For the love of fucking god use the autofocus function on your potato, learn to hold it steady and get Irfanview so you can resize your shit. For a show-and-tell you really don't need more than ~1024 wide or high. The only time you really need anything bigger is for a dedicated photography shoot which you're not doing.
I'm not telling you to stop taking and sharing pictures but these utterly simple steps will make your life both here and on /toy/ so much easier since we'll mostly stop laughing at you.

Also does /jp/ like Estel's new outfit? Fashion-kun take note, this is what a properly dressed doll looks like.
>>15153717
I'm not really a fan of floral prints, but overall she looks very cute in that.
I pity my doll. I still haven't unpacked her because it is getting cramped in my room and I should move to a bigger place first. She'll hopefully understand it was for her best to not get all dirty and lack a proper place to sit at.
>>15154081
You can't make room for her?
>>15153717
A good looking outfit makes for a good looking doll.
>>15153717
What's in your shadowbox, anon?
>>15154167
She coulds it in the sofa, but I was thinking more of a detolf glass monter to keep her a bit more dust free and perhaps even manage to make her stand.
>>15155101
>keep her a bit more dust free
not really an issue if you give her enough headpats
>>15155033
It's a little bakery. My Aunt made it and just about everything inside of it.
>>15155406your aunt sounds cool
Man the Calgary Comic Expo was great! I guess there was some drama here while I was gone?
Anyhoo I got some stuff and my girls got some stuff. Cookie got a few cool things but I will wait for her eyes before posting. Maple got a Lord of the Rings Elven Leaf necklace. Cherry got a belt, Strawberry got a skull hair clip.
But the artist of the webcomic Sam and Fuzzy was there! and I commissioned a drawing of Waffles! I think it is amazing and adorable it now hangs on my wall!
>>15157775
A janitorette decided it was time to have the painter in and took it out on all my qualityposting and everyone who replied to it.
Love the drawing man. Been trying to get someone to draw my dolls for months now and it doesn't seem to matter how many blank cheques I wave in people's faces nobody seems to be capable of coming up with the goods. I don't know if I'm being too forward or if telling someone to charge me by the hour at no less than what is a fair wage for a skilled worker in their country is considered rude?
Besides that, trying to get this furry little retard to sit still long enough for a decent photo is beyond me.
>>15155406
That's so cute! I'm working on a dollhouse for my Picco Neemo (who is technically my doll's doll? This is getting out of hand) and I think I have the same bakery case but in white.
>>15158182
I think my aunt may have made the box as well (maybe with the help of my grandfather, who became a wood worker in retirement). I also think she made it in the 60's or 70's so I don't think it's the same. Good luck with the doll house!
>>15158161
Maybe you should look for an artist who makes taking commissions a regular habit?
>>15159357
But then I have to set foot into the artists territory to find them and well that never ends well for anyone involved. I'm just not an artsy type.
Maybe there's such a thing as too much freedom for artists? I thought it would be a good idea to just provide character traits (hair style + colour, height, general build, basic personality type, etc) and ask the artist to create whatever they felt like using that as a base. Artists are all about feelies and limpwristed shit like that, right?
I'm a builder, I make things exactly as requested, creative expression just isn't something I can understand. I also can't understand why they never get back to me. I got half a sketch done by one of them and seems like he's lost interest. Not even the lure of a wad of cash got him on the hook.
>>15158161
>>15159447
Are you still just hitting up random teenagers on Facebook to try to get your drawing done?
>>15153717
I hate it anon.I was going to buy that but I had to wait until I got off work, then you bought it instead. Jealous.
>>15160095
Sorry anon, I think I did get the last one since it was no longer listed after my order was shipped.
If you had your heart set on the outfit, I found one on Mandarake for 7000 JPY:
http://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1040861171&ref=list
It's the only one listed.
>>15158161
>>15159447
Thanks. I have also been thinking about getting art of my girls for months. Every time I see an artist doing commissions I have considered it.
I have been a fan of Sam Logans art for years its unique and fun. So when I saw he was doing commissions at the show had to get one done. I left everything up to him the only request I made was that Waffles be somewhere in the image because that's her name. Also another nice thing about having it done at the show is I have the real drawing.
If I get art of my other girls I think Maple and Tofu will be problematic. Like will Maple just have a bottle of syrup? And who knows what Tofu will have.
>>15153717
While I know I have much to learn I also know some of the problem is my tastes are different then most people here. I am glad you are happy with your girl but I would never put one of my girls in that, it just does not appeal to me.
>>15161358
I don't think you'd ever put your dolls in a coordinated Volks dress set, period.
>>15161414
His drug addict doll's outfit is 75 percent pre-coordinated by Volks, but he even managed to make that look gaudy. He really needs to just copy other people.
>>15161414
First that outfit is great. Also three of my girls are 80% Volks and Lastly Tofu is wereing Volks all the way down to her shoes.
AAAHHHHH MAN!!
The eyes have arrived and they are amazing! Also I was right my random free eyes are red but they look neat.
>>15162237
So people have voiced dislike for Cherry's eyes. They are Cool Cat and truly the cheapest eyes in any of my girls. And now that I own Maple and she has green eyes I am thinking let's try those free Red Eyes.
>>15161784
That's... just... my god I'm having trouble believing anyone can be that bad at picking out clothes. Fashion-kun is the doll equivalent of shopping at Brooks Bros. and still looking like a jobless man-child.
>>15162646
Man these Lizanna eyes are Fantastic! they also make her look better over all.
>>15162961
Still waiting for something to dry so Cookie with her eyes will be posted later. But the metallic look to these eyes are so good.
Also you can see her new belt I got her at the Expo.
>>15162979
>plaid shoes
>plaid skirt
>different patterns and shades of pink
Kill me. I can't take it anymore.
>>15163101
Two of yours points you need to take up with Volks. I however like the plaid.
True the hoodie socks and belt are the same but different shade from the Volks stuff but I like it. And the striped socks well that's just classic knee high.
But yah the two shades of pink could be an issue that's why I added the belt.
>>15162979
A common theme of discomfort that I get from most of your photos:
>stiff posing
>unfocused/weirdly focused eyes
>unnatural-looking hair
>all-over-the-place clothing coordination
Your dolls photos are honestly among the most difficult to look at for me.
>>15163347
don't forget the signature peace sign fingers
>>15163224
What the fuck makes you think adding a belt can magically fix clashing patterns?!
>>15163347
>stiff posing
So
>>15157775
>>15161817
>>15162979
All have this problem? I been trying to work on that and I think these look better then older images. I mean they are not perfect like Waffles hand on her hip is all wrong in that image. But I thought Cherry resting her hand on her gutar looks cool as hell.
>unfocused/weirdly focused eyes
I have been takeing a number of photos and picking the best one but I am still missing. Maybe I should try some more photos were the girl is not looking at the camera. My favourite image of Cake she is not looking at the camera.
>unnatural-looking hair
A new complaint. Not sure what to say about it.
>all-over-the-place clothing coordination
Comment is not advice and is indistinguishable from personal preference or actual style problems.
>>15163415
Because it's not meant to fix the patterns.
man and not one single comment on the eyes. If I knew Cherry would make such a splash I would have posted her after I got cookie up.
I really really really need to say something when I post her and I want the person it's aimed at to see it. So chill the fuck out everyone.
>>15163454
You literally said
>But yah the two shades of pink could be an issue that's why I added the belt.
If you're going for a monochromatic look you can't have 2+ bold patterns because it looks absolutely horrendous. 2 types of plaid AND stripes? You are a fashion sinner! You will burn in fashion hell!
>>15162979
The new red eyes are cool! But I'm rather biased in that regard.
I think one problem with Cherry's outfit is to do with the baggy hoodie. It obscures her waist, which wouldn't be too bad except it's also so long that it also interferes with the pleated skirt's lines. The original Nanami outfit had a coat, but it was shorter so her skirt still has that poof outward, y'know? It obscures her girlish figure.
Also I personally hate shirts tucked under skirts. Absolutely haram.Aside from >>15136892
>>15162961
Damn! Adding those eyes has suddenly made her look so pretty! I like the red on her more than the green.
>>15163436
Different anon, but I'd say that
>>15157775 and
>>15161817 aren't too bad in terms of stiff posing.
>>15162979 could use work.
>>15162961
The camerawork and focus is quite nice, and Cherry looks very good in this picture. Your skills might not be perfect, but at least you're improving.
>>15163847
Yes shades not patterns.
>>15163910
You people see this. This is a helpful post it says this is what's wrong and how it's wrong. Not "looks bad you suck"
Ok I don't disagree with how baggy the hoodie looks but fuck I love hoodies. i will have to think on this and SIGH shop some more.
As for the socks She has white socks under those striped pink ones those will match the shirt maybe bring her more together. I will think on this.
>>15163944
Yah the Cool Cat Eyes have always looked too intense.
>>15163962
Ok posing is slowly improving that's good.
Also you can tell when I use my phone and when I use my 70D for photos. I really should stop useing my phone for this.
>>15163973
Stop ignoring my point about how retarded mixing bold patterns is.
Ok FIRST!
A huge thank you to the anon that took time out of there day to photoshop all of the Lizanna eyes into Cookie's grumpy little face. You were a huge help in turning Cookie from a unused head in a box too an adorable grumpy little witch! I am super sorry I was not more helpful with measurements but your work was spot on!
Now beyond her fantastic eyes she has a larger Witch hat and necklace. I got both at the Calgary Expo, both booths were very helpful as they changed things to fit and match her colours!
I also got that glowing tree ball from the Expo also it looks super neat.
That said she has no shoes and she needs some desperately any links to Obitsu 50 shoes that would look nice with be very helpful as i guess i cant be trusted with picking them. plus i just cant find any.
>>15164065
You're welcome. I'm glad you found something you're happy with. She looks cute there.
Which size eyes did you end up with?
>>15164065
Luts. Product code KDS-54
Don't fuck this up. That witch is the only shot you've got at a halfway decent looking doll.
>>15164102
So because the eyes she had before were 22mm and filled the eye socket almost as much. And because these were wider eyes I guessed 22mm.
Also the eyes in Cherry are also 22mm.
>>15164133
looks good thanks! but those will have to wait as they are sold out.So I will wait and see if anyone else posts something I like more. If not I will probably buy these when they are back in stock. Also what currency prices listed in?
Also Last image of Cookie holding a Squid.
Just checking in on what I'll eventually be collecting in about 10 years from now. I got into figures and onaholes, I hear dolls are the next step down the rabbit hole.
How did yall get into buying/collecting dolls?
>>15164065
>>15164134
These two pictures are quite nice! The third one with squid has a bit of awkward posing, but you're certainly getting better anon. And the better camera helps a lot too.
>>15164441
Yah I am super happy with those two. That last one is rather meh but I think I know why and what to avoid.
>1 USD = 105.81
>>15159481
Not Facebook, tumblr. My ideologies are incompatible with that place at a core level but it seems to be a good place to get a hold of artist types.
>>15162961
Haha wow what a fucking difference the eyes made. She looks beautiful now.
>>15164065
Have you tried Parabox? They sell shoes specifically to fit the Obi50 body.
>>15164257
KDS-136 isn't sold out.
All prices are in USD.
>>15164375
I was looking for Rozen Maiden merch back when I was in college, which eventually led me to dollfies/Volks/Dollfie Dreams. It wasn't until about 5 years later that I could actually afford dolls of my own, but as soon as I could buy some I did. I started out with Pullips (even though I never got any of the RM ones) and eventually worked my way to DD's then resin.
>>15165188
I know, it's killing me. It should get better as we get closer to the US election. USD always gets strong right around Winter of an election year. Just hope the shit I want on Mandy won't sell by then. Something I've been eyeing up has been there for years so I'm hopeful it'll just wait for me to rescue it.
>>15164133
There are knock offs of these everywhere, try Alice Collection. I have a pair myself.
>>15164257
>>15162979
>>15161817
These dolls just make me so uncomfortable. It's like the kids you'd see in school who had no chance because their parents were inevitably trashy.

lol no. Only one that holds traction on is Cherry trying too hard to fit in where she doesn't belong but her Master is learning and will fix that shortly. Hopefully.
In other news I was going through my old photo collection and saw pictures I took in the days after I brought Mei home and I haven't cringed so hard in my life. She came as a full set so the fashion choices weren't a problem but was I really that horrible at posing a doll body? And I didn't seem to know what an ISO setting was either. I don't want to delete them because they are precious memories of the day Mei became family but they're incredibly embarrassing to look at.
>>15166496
What is an ISO?
>>15159447
Just fucking look for someone with open commissions. Its not that hard. What kind of art are you looking for? If its just like digital stuff there are tons of people on DA and tumblr willing to take commissions. If its like a traditional painting that might be a bit harder but I can hook you up with one of my art school friends that'll probably be willing to do something for you.
>>15166830
Whew. Nearly. I got as far as googling an ISO info pic and had it selected in the file uploader ready to go before I got slapped by the "don't spoonfeed retards" fish.
>>15167029
IF YOU FOLLOWED MY TUMBLR you'd know that's exactly what I've been doing. Being flakyit seems is a prerequisite to being an "artist". I just want some cute digital art of my dolls, even that is hard to secure. I wonder if normies are just scared of them?
>>15169023
>"don't spoonfeed retards"
why do you make an exception for fashion-kun?
>>15169122
Because he's canadian. They get an exception from that rule because they have legitimate intellectual disabilities from bring Canadian. It isn't his fault he was born that way and I'm not such a massive cunt I'm going to give him a hard time for something he can't help.
>>15169023
There's a bunch of people always doing doll drawings on the various bjd facebook groups. I am curious though, are you asking for ecchi or anything like that? A lot of artists on Tumblr are 17 year old girls it seems and are very uncomfortable with that kind of stuff.
>>15166413
They are adorable I love them. Maybe I will buy these!
>>15169460
>I am curious though, are you asking for ecchi or anything like that?
Nope. All I'm asking for is a portrait made in the artists preferred style using basic character traits and a general idea of the expression. Which is why I was wondering if too much freedom was a bad thing since it leaves the artist to think for themselves which is never a good thing.
got my new wigs from CotinDoll
Now I'm waiting for my stuff from 9style to come in
>>15174204
I hope you bought her a shirt!
>>15174204
>those stockings
Please tell me she's wearing a half-body suit. My dolls got stained looking at that picture of your doll.
>>15174573
She's been wearing for a while now without a single stain
its made of a soft cotton material unlike most socks. most socks are made out of a spandexy nylon material, which doesn't hold dyes well.
>>15174684
Make sure you check regularly. I had gray cotton knee-highs that I did a test patch on, and there was no stain. Weeks later I was checking her legs and still no stains. Then I went to change her outfit and her heel and toes had gotten stained. Not a huge deal since my girls are always in shoes and stockings, but I still fill badly about it.
>>15171694
I have a dA friend I asked, who expressed that your insistence of paying by the hour was unusual, and therefore "sketchy". I speculate that a lot of these artists are amateurs, who are not confident enough in their abilities to be charging by the hour.

have fun
Would the Smartdoll hands be able to be swapped with the DK jointed 1/3 hands? It looks like the wrists themselves would be the same size but I'm not sure about how the DK joints would work with the Smartdoll body.
If anyone needs art made of their doll, let me know, I will be more than willing to do it for you if you are willing to pay money, I will do everything I can to work with you and keep the prices fair. I will show you the sketch for free so you can know that it'll be worth your time. send me a message at:
http://supermariosmokingweed.tumblr.com/
I will not let you down.
>>15169023
which doll did you want drawn?
>>15176044
I don't have a Smartdoll, but my understanding is that they have similar jointing to a DD, and there really isn't a way to put strung bjd hands on a DD without a lot of workaround.
>>15175214
Interesting. My reason for doing that was so that I didn't come across as expecting a masterpiece for $2.99 and a copy of Bad Rats. I'm a professional contractor so I'm used to telling people what I'm worth, but I guess it's an acquired skill for most?, I didn't want to put someone through what some of my clients do - make me justify every fucking cent of my invoice and get shitty when I come to the "wages/profit" section and it shows more than $0.
>>15176693
I'm at work now will have a look when I get home.

I was planning on getting portraits done of all four of my dolls >>15158161 .

can you stop blogging and whinging about things that have absolutely nothing to do with dolls.
>>15177520
Sure I'll do all that when you stop being a soft cunt
In other news I think I solved my Fluffy Coat problem. I never bought Miku because I don't want her. So I will put Cake in the fluffy coat when it arrives.
>>15177873
wearing that will be a bit much, don't you think? it's not terribly cold anymore.
I bought two new outfits for my girls and opted for SAL because there was no rush. Why the fuck did I do that? There's always a rush. It's called impatience.
>>15178032
Last time I made clothing orders, I also used SAL and regretted it. Our girls deserve better.
>>15178158
I agree. My girls have a good amount of stuff but when it's more they need nothing I have will do. I got this beauty here. I'm very excited for it. I collect kimono myself but don't ever get to wear them because there's really no occasion appropriate for a white person outside of Japan to wear this shit. I truly admire how modern and stylish this is.
>>15177896
I am Canadian and I have a thing for fluffy winter coats.
>>15178032
I scored a Sword from Volks and picked slowest shipping. I can wait really I can...
>>15178319
I should get my girls kimonos.
>>15178608
>I am Canadian and I have a thing for fluffy winter coats.
You'll force your favourite girl to suffer from overheating just to satisfy your fetish? That's fucking sick. I'm calling doll protective services right now.
>>15178608
>Putting a fullset or character-specific outfit on a doll that the outfit is not meant for
This makes me cringe so fucking much
>>15178875
I bet he'll ~customise~ it, too, by adding a fucking baseball cap or something.
>>15176044
Assuming SD wrists look like DDs I think it's possible, but I don't think anyone ever tried, you'd have to experiment
>It looks like the wrists themselves would be the same size
Are you sure, I considered doing the same with DDs and it seemed like 1/4 would be more appropriate
>I'm not sure about how the DK joints would work with the Smartdoll body.
kinda like pic related I imagine, you won't be able to attach their wrists to SD arms
If you ever try please post here so I know how retarded I am before I try anything similar
>>15179081
Are you guys talking about putting a resin hand on a smart doll body?
Because that's not going to work, ever. One is strung with elastic ball joints, the other is an action figure.
>>15179134
>Because that's not going to work, ever.
Yeah but why?
>One is strung with elastic ball joints, the other is an action figure.
I realize that
>>15179144
You would need to string the hand to the smart doll body, which has a plastic frame inside it, which means you can't string it.
Have you ever seen a BJD get strung before? You CANNOT string a smart doll and thus you CANNOT attach a resin hand to a smart doll body.
>>15179834
>You would need to string the hand to the smart doll body, which has a plastic frame inside it,
Of course I know that
>which means you can't string it.
But why exactly?
I realize they're attached in a completely different way normally, I don't know what's wrong with the method of attachment I proposed (using the hollow part of the wrist as a hook), the only ways it wouldn't work out I can think of is
>the wrist doesn't fit in the hand (or just not well enough to allow enough space for the elastic)
>i simply won't be able to attach the elastic to it
Both of which are likely I guess, but not "it's not going to work ever" tier
>Have you ever seen a BJD get strung before?
Have you seen the picture I attached to my post? (the red strings are supposed to be elastic)
> You CANNOT string a smart doll
Of course I know that, that's why I'm thinking about a roundabout way like that
>>15179907
I believe it would be possible to have strung jointed fingers on a DD. However, there are not any configurations of existing parts that would work. I don't believe your mockup would work, because of both of the reasons you already hypothesized.
At best, if there exists jointed hands that are roughly the same size as DD hands, and a close colour match, you would have to design and fabricate new wrist parts.
>>15178864
Unless actually melting DD Girls are quite resilient!
That said most totally envy Maple in her tshirt and shorts.
>>15178875
We don't even know what it looks like on her yet. If it does not work she can also not wear it.
>>15180330
We don't need to see it to know its going to look like shit.
Do you guys give your dolls birthday presents?
>>15180705
No, but I usually buy them something around the holiday season.
>>15180705
>>15180857
I do the same, in the past I've mostly gotten them themed outfits for the holidays.
>>15180705
I don't even know when any of my dolls birthdays are. I struggle to place them in a year much less a month and day.
>>15182830
That's why I wrote down the day! Along with other info.

Should the birth date be the day you get them or the day you get around to assembling them?
>>15183061
For me it's the day they're complete. But if the doll in question regularly swaps body with another doll then it's a different matter I guess.
>>15179081
A few things, from someone who has put jointed hands together before. One, that is not how they're strung. The string is one continuous loop that goes up and down each finger. You can't tie each finger individually like that.
Two, how are you going to get in there to loop the threads around the wrist part? There's no space and the tension is going to be too tight to pull it apart.
Three, you're assuming that a jointed hand has enough room inside for a DD wrist part. It does not. Think of how you have to squeese a soft vinyl DD hand over it until it pops into place. Bjd hands are not soft, and have to be cast thicker. There's less hollow space inside. I don't think even the biggest jointed hands for 70cm male dolls will fit (and they'd look awful besides).
You just don't know enough about these jointed hands to keep swearing that they will work.
>>15183048
Im still shocked you have so many dolls and not a single one looks nice.
>>15184271
Way to kill the thread jerkwad.
I will give Fashion-kun credit where credit is due and the new eyes that Cherry and Cookie have completely changed how they look at it's a massive improvement.
And I don't know if it's through the power of perseverance or photoshop but all his girls seem to now have nice tidy hair and again credit will be given where credit is due.
The wardrobe situation is improving and I'm prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume most of the challenges he has are caused by a lack of choices and a lack of money to acquire new choices.
Being a master is not a natural skill for everybody and some people take longer to learn it than others. I look back at the photos I took of my first doll the day she came home and die of embarrassment. I want to delete them so bad but they're precious memories and I just can't.
Does anyone have anyone they'd recommend to fix DD wigs? My Saber Lily's ponytail came off and I'm really sad about it.
How can I give life to my doll? Please help I'm getting desperate.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjKMXnjHr5k
>>15187245
Thanks. Overall I am happy with the direction my girls are going right now I am working on Cake.
>>15187403
I don't think throwing her will go over well.
>>15187363
I don't have anyone to recommend but I fixed my Lilys ponytail myself when it came off. There's a description on the DD forums of how other people did this and that's pretty much what I did as well.
Anyone after Snow Miku on the US site. She is flickering in and out of stock so if you are after her and she is out of stock she may be back in an hour.
>>15187650
There were some search hits back in 2011 linking to a webpage which has died since.
>>15187784
No but I just bought a few pairs of large Miku hands. I wanted the default size, but alas, they're already mostly gone. If they don't look stupid, I might go in for all the large hands.
Also picking up the white rider suit. Hopefully it'll look better zipped up on Miku than Yui. It's kind of weirdly baggy here. Or maybe it's her vapid face that just doesn't suit it. Hrm.
>>15187822
Hay I like that coat. Not sure what else it would need though.
As for the hands all my girls use large size hands. I picked them in the first place because I found they look more detailed.
>>15187792
Yeah, that's the same thread, the link worked back when I did it but it wasn't much help.
I followed the advice of the 2nd post and glued the hair bun and then after a lot of work I gave up on the hair net part and just glued the ponytail over the bun.

wouldn't be a problem if he didn't just keep buying new dolls.
>>15188803
The saddest part is that most of his clothing is Volks. He managed to make designer dolly clothes look that bad. And Volks basically does all the work for you with their 5-8 piece coordination sets.

Guys this "Gothic Dress Set for moe" is the cutest thing ever.
>>15197015
Welcome to 5 years ago. Where you been?
Are there 1/3 coffins?
>>15197364
Depends on how stylized or how much you want to spend, but the only one I can think of off the top of my head was a limited one from Ringdoll. Still available new at Angelesque, though.
>>15197364
1/3 Coffin sound easier to make than dresses. Though I guess it depends on if you want a basic wooden style or something filled with details.
Does anyone here make their dolls clothes?
>>15192145
>>15192422
could she be available again?
>>15200384
I do. There's actually a decent amount of patterns out there for them, and once you get the hang of it you can work out custom ones.
>>15200384
I can barely coordinate an outfit, much less make one. I do wish I had the skills or even the ability to acquire the skills though and admire the people who do.
>>15201030
First release Miku seems to be in stock, so I guess it's quite possible that Snow Miku will be available again in the future.
>>15201030
Most pre-order dolls are bought in droves by scalpers. You'll likely be able to find her at or near MSRP on Mandarake and Y!JA for a while.
This thread seems to lack loli cat girls.
>>15203402
Oh what's the deal with that dark kitty? Dark skinned vinal seems so rare.
>>15203573
Guessing it's a standard MDD body and head that's been dyed somehow. Maybe the watermark will have more info if you can read moon.
>>15203402
>>15203634
Pretty sure it's SQ Labs. They had a tan-skinned loli dolly available for some time years ago.
>>15203821
>Pretty sure it's SQ Labs
It isn't. It's a dyed MDD.
>>15203832
Oh yeah I just noticed how crappy the ABS joints look. They're like red colored.
Why dye it without adding tan lines. That is completely missing the point of tans!
>>15200384
I do! Well I started with making clothes about a month ago so I'm still a beginner. Here's a dress I made over the last couple of days. Had the chance to fool around on someone's sewing machine that has a lot of decorative stitches.
Sorry for the large photo and the squiggly lines on the fabric.
>>15204257
Looks clean and simple. There is one major problem though. It's not on a girl! Put it on a girl!
Also I really need to make those PJs I want to make.
>>15204281
I need to finish the back with button thingies so it can close, than I can taken some nice pictures of my girl wearing it. She has already tried it on ofcourse!
Go make those pajamas! Your girl is probably waiting for it!
>>15204281
I'd love to see fashion-kun's hand crafted original design pajamas.
>>15204257
That looks so lovely! I'm trying to learn how to use my sewing machine so I can make doll clothes. Soon, Hotaru will not be naked. Hand sewing is tricky, too.
I was making some changes to cherry's outfit. I gave her short socks but she was unwilling to give up her hoodie.
>>15206544
I figured she was just being a grump because she would not pose for a picture. But later I found she had vanished.
>>15206553
I found an open window and discovered her outside. She was quite upset.
>>15206563
When I brought her back in she was a mess and still would not look at me.
>>15206567
Cake combed her hair and her mood has improved. But she is still quite mad.
In happier news when I was out looking for Cherry I also found the person who helped her open the window. She was on a walk taking advantage of the sun before it rains tonight.
>>15206591
Her head is obviously not pushed all the way in to the neck socket.
>>15207019
No it is I just looked. I probably should have taken the pic from just a slightly higher angle.
>>15207019
>>15207168
It absolutely looks like it's the way it's supposed to be. But yeah, not the most flattering angle.
>>15204240
Maybe shes just meant to be dark skinned. Also, its near impossible to dye in tan lines. The dye will eventually blur and leach across the vinyl.
>>15206563
>put a towel under her butt
Ahaha that's adorable
>>15206563
>>15206567
Is Cherry a nopan sort of girl? I may have to change how I think of her if that is the case. You can of course clear her good name by showing us her panties.
>>15203634
How would a proper dye process work for something like this? I do wish Volks offered some little tawny lolis though.
>>15208353
My guess is you'd immerse the disassembled skins in a dye the colour you want. The vinyl sucks up clothing dye like an economic migrant sucks up civilised society so there's no reason it wouldn't take well to being stained on purpose.
Colouring the skeleton would be more difficult since it's a hard plastic and you can see that it's less effective on the exposed joints. But I wonder if you could 3D print replacements using coloured plastics?
>>15208148
Now now now it's not like Cherry wears bright clothes. And flashes her bare butt in an attempt to come across more sure of her self then she actually is.
It's not like she is acting out because she is insecure and doing things like takeing her favourite hoodie upsets her.
>>15208401
One problem though is staining. When the vinyl is properly coloured the normal stain removal techniques won't change skin colour. But if you dye her and then try to remove stains it will also remove the dye discolouring that spot by makeing it ligher.
>>15208401
Eh, I'd more likely opt for a polymer clay sculpt of the joints and make a silicone mold to cast duplicates, as opposed to 3d printing. 3d prints really rough, and that could hinder connection and mobility on the finished product.
>>15208447
Maybe a matte surface seal was used on the final application of dye?
Its definitely interesting, works, and is well done for a attempt however.
>>15208434
I know it's none of those things. Daddy just won't buy his daughter any underwear so she's forced to have her cooch hanging out like a slut all day and night.
http://us.sk-coolcat.com/front/bin/ptdetail.phtml?Part=yd51s_7
Buy these. Mei has coolcat underwear and they are exceptional quality items. The price is worth your daughter's respectability.
>>15208522
She has options.
That said those are cute maybe something there will be appropriate.
>>15208543
Dolls need underwear Fashion-kun. I don't care how much she complains if you have to stuff one pair down her throat to shut her up while you put another on her then do it. You're four times her size and many times more stronger, holding her down shouldn't be a problem for you.
You can at least put a pair of panties on a little girl surely?
>>15208559
I will do it later. She has had more then enough of me.
Also I been thinking, people with multiple girls and multiple glass prisons. Do you have set locations for your girls or do you move them about?
I like moving and paring them up differently it keeps things fresh and let's different girls get to know each other.
>>15208608
I have glass dungeons but mine mostly just float around the place and I usually have at least two on my desk at any given time. Dolls are meant to roam free really I feel. So no, no set locations.
>>15208608
>She has had more then enough of me.
Don't think you quite understand how father/daughter relationships work. The one who decides when she's had enough is you.
And mine stay in the same position and clothes for weeks at a time. I'd like to be able to move them around the house more but if I do take them out on excursion to the lounge room they must be returned before dark or else the floor creature will take them.
>>15208608
>too lazy to even give your girl the panties she deserves
I hate how little you seem to actually care.
>Do you have set locations for your girls or do you move them about?
I don't have a lot of space to myself, so they just hang out on my desk. My desk is pretty big, though, so I want to buy or make some furniture for them eventually.
>>15208650
>I hate how little you seem to actually care
I don't think that is the case, after all he went to the effort of putting a little towel down so her butt didn't get dirty and well to be fair having her go nopan is a choice he is free to make, it just makes him a pervert and her a semen hungry harlot.
Incompetent is a word I'd use to describe fashion-kun if asked; uncaring is not.
Have a headless corpse.
Is making ball-jointed dolls a terribly difficult hobby to get into?
>>15210093
Yes.
>>15210093
Not any more difficult than building a fusor in your garage.
So I suppose I can go to /p/ for this but I want to ask, what are everyone's setups for taking indoor pictures of their dolls? At the moment I have a crappy DSLR with stock lens and like, no source of light indoors. I just want to take good photos of my doll...
>>15208401
Does anyone got any more of these kind of pictures? It's hilarious to see the lengths people go to get that perfect shot.
>>15212589
When I am not durping with my phone camera I use my Canon 70D and 24mm f/2.8 STM lens. Also I use a tri pod far less then I should.
>>15208148
>>15208647
She looks great
>>15212589
A tripod and some open curtains with maybe some paper as reflective board will take you a long way, if you're poor.
>>15212685
>Doll has a 5D mark III with an L lens
I will never not find this funny
>>15213212
Only the best for my girls.
>>15212589
>>15213212
>A tripod and some open curtains
Good advice. I also like to use a remote shutter release so I don't accidentally move the camera in longer exposure shots. Any DSLR should be sufficient, the camera matters less than you'd think.
Why do people even try to sell faceups like this in yahoo jp?

so I have a mirror selfie of Cake there and me in a 1up shirt, war machine hoodie, and hat tipped down so you can't see my face. And while posting that would be funny. It would also be something I would probably regret.

>>15218558
While I do eventually want to get a dress for my doll, I want her to look more tomboyish/athletic than feminine. Sadly, all the clothes I see are very girly. I've already bought pants and a hoody from Etsy but nothing of the quality that some doll clothes should be known for.
I have the Makoto DDS by the way.
