Waiting for:
- the magazines I ordered to clear customs (I paid 92.28 including shipping for these magazines so I'm mad they didn't just materialize... >.>; )
- Unoa Lusis 1.5 kit (2 more months to go probably)
- Gen to finish the faceup on my Unoa Sist
- Jules to finish the commission drawing for my unoa site
- Volks Cristal's glass eyes from Jenn
- Unoa Zero lottery results
- Gumdrops urethane eyes pre-order, October 5-15
- glass eyes group order I'm assembling (after I finish facing up all my dolls)
- Pearly wings from moonueng and tanya style clothes
- 43cm Narae with Kim Kyu-Yuen faceup (currently leaning towards golden beige for skin color)
Is anyone familiar with Lynsey of Cross Pistols Aesthetics? I've been using (and have been very happy with) Gen of EngelMech's work, its cheaper (65 for cross pistols, 40 for engelmech), the waiting list is shorter (10 people currently in cross pistols' "in progress" slots and I'm 7th in line in the reservation slots and Gen just lets me send my doll heads in to her anytime) and not to mention that Gen is stateside and Lynsey lives in the UK. Should I wait and send my airbrush tanned Kill-U sp to Lynsey since she does use an airbrush and can probably touch him up in case she messes up, and some of the tan comes off? Gen doesn't do airbrush faceup, but if she did I don't think I'd have any doubts and send all my dolls to her. Regardless of the fact if I send my Kill-U to her, I'll probably send her my Seimei head if don't have any dolls heads that need to be done when my turn hits
I don't know... I just feel like all my Unoas get all the playtime (which is because they have the most clothes and new faceups of course). I'll probably end up waiting but I'll rant all the same. I'm probably only thinking about this because I want to send another doll off to get a faceup ASAP and the only choices are my pipos baha, seimei and my lusis yawn (which would have to wait because my lusis isn't here yet for them to match)
doing that thing, that I do...
I did a quick photo shoot earlier of Frei in my favorite Tanya Style dress (I really need to buy more clothes from Yui..) and a tinybear wig. But looking at the pics makes me think it might be time for a body blushing re-do (I'm trying to put it off till my Unoa Lusis gets here though). Also I really really need to get glass eyes for my dolls.
I haven't found a way to get around how vox ALWAYS makes me keep a title on my images. So I'm just keeping the image numbers for now since trying to fit a phrase to every single photo is time consuming and annoying.
Now... to watch Code Geass and eat grapes.
Gen has definitely done it again! And in less time! ;~; Speed and Quality!
I surely didn't ask for much, which is what probably made it easier, also it was just one head this time and not two but I got the preview pictures today and I was so pleased I said something to the effect of "OMG TAKE MY SIST NEXT". Which was running through my mind earlier when I was gathering pictures of my current dolls and dolls on my wishlist and I realized yet again that very few of my dolls are "complete".
I'm going to end up sending all my dolls to Gen the way it seems now... I was on two waiting lists for faceups. One is so Ivoine (kill-u sp) would get a long overdue faceup and I'll probably keep him on that list even thought there are 10+ people ahead of me and most of them have more than 2 heads they want done (also she's twice as expensive as Gen AND living overseas in the UK) and someone else for my sist who isn't even currently working on commissions right now and I'm the 4th or so on her list.
Even though I wasn't specific I took a gamble and got just what I wanted and I just know it'll look better in real life just like the B-el faceplates. Oh, I can't wait :'D
So, the 3 tier preorder is like so:
- Send in postcard by first deadline (the 28th) and if there are more than 150 people who send it in, the preorder becomes a lottery.
- If you lose the first time you are automatically entered into the 2nd time, lose the 2nd time you're automatically entered into the third time.
- Since there are 150 max that will be given out each time, then there are 150+150+150 for the Dollybird 9 Unons, and 50 more if you include the Hobby Japan magazine lottery/preorder dolls (in which the winners for that will be announced on the 11th) meaning there will be 500 total Unoa Quluts Zero dolls in the world till whenever the next preorder comes to be.
My postcard is being mailed off tomorrow. But I have no idea how much buzz this doll is getting in Japan. Also since its a lottery Crescent Shop will not be handling it and only people who live in Japan or know someone trustworthy in Japan will have a chance. I wonder how many people there are who want one, and have the money for it, and have the connections/means to order one.
The postcard is not in simple Japanese. It asks questions. Basic things such as "what 3 articles did you like the most", "what kind of doll requests do you have for us?" and if you have any opinions on the magazine, and the spaces are big enough for a few sentences so I wouldn't take my chances on leaving them blank. I really had to make up some things for Reiji to fill in (which he has to translate to Japanese and then write it onto the postcard), but at least I'll definitely get my card in before the deadline. So I have 3 chances to win, and I'm done saving, and thats all I can really be confident about for now!
I finally got around to doing the "what-I-want-Frei's-faceup-to-look-like" private message to Gen. Usually I do some long formal write-up but I just haven't felt up to it and I only have a vague idea of what I want anyway. "Dark dramatic eyes and light colored lip" is just about it. I did have picture examples but really.. I didn't really ask for much. My B-el faceplates should be here by Tuesday by my calculations.. if not then definitely before Friday. I'm not really ready in terms of eyes and wigs but I'm still excited all the same.
I avoided posting in the save/wait thread at DOA about my progress or lack there of, its easier to be in there supporting other people when you're not rushing to meet a deadline (the deadline for payment of the u-noa preorder is the 16th, Japan time).
I can't wait till the kit gets here, I feel like I can't do any photostories since all my dolls are of different sizes or they share bodies with other dolls. Ivoine and Jomi are SD sized, Ivoine (kill-u sp) is tanned and Jomi (seimei) is beauty white, so Jomi can't share Ivoine's tanned body and I have to get him his own. I do try to take pictures of Ivoine along with the u-noa (as the picture shows), but while standing up, they only come up to his waist and that looks horrible. Gonbe (pipos baha) is a tiny, so he'll probably come up to the waist/chest of the u-noa, but since he's a cat that will look ok. Until I get Gonbe, I only have 2 full dolls and 5 floating heads at home. I think its very possible I'll try to get another doll after Gonbe, and before Esa's body and default faceplate (not just a sleepy/orgasmic girl anymore!) get here. Most likely a 43cm Narae, since I was planning on getting one before the u-noa bug bit me. She'll be very expensive... seeing as I'm going to order the doll, classic faceplate (with a faceup by Kim Kyu Yuen, which will be 100+ extra), then another blank head, some wigs, and probably some clothes if there are any new tanya style clothes I like (and I'm a sucker for her style).
All my dolls still need wigs and eyes though, permanent ones. And option hands, too. This hobby is so expensive...
Show us something that's ridiculously cute.
I'll be in full bloom by your side
And after watching your smile
I'll fall alone, quietly
