I got my unoa sist faceplate back from Gen today. Normally I'd be spamming you all with photos but I unfortunately don't have the wig I ordered for her over a month ago in a LeeKe group order and nothing here suites her at all. I'll post the preview pictures I got before she was shipped back to me however. I might try to take photos anyway depending on when I get the mermaid skirt and black and white one piece I ordered from Tanya Style (since I think the black dress would look perfect on her.
I should be sending Jomi (aeon flux of dive's seimei head) off to her shortly but I need to take pics of his old faceup since I want the same type of look for him. His current faceup is done by Sairin, and while ideally it should've never been touched.. the glue that held his eyelashes on ruined the underlashes, and the paint used on his lips were staining the resin (not to mention in a hideous color). Tried to remedy the lips myself but I just couldn't get the color I wanted right. I can use an airbrush, and it would've been easy if I got the color I wanted right the first time. The more I had to wipe it off the worse the original faceup got since the blushing, especially on the face was everywhere. Now he's lipless and everything else is still in tact for the most part but I rather not mess with him anymore. I can't find Mr. Super Clear anywhere and while I do have Mr. top coat around, it doesn't have the tooth MSC has and I really need that to work with.
I can imagine how upset some people (with the collectors mindset) could possibly be since I altered a Sairin faceup, but I'm this particular Seimei's 4th owner (that I know of), and he's not going anywhere. I probably killed his value but his head alone cost more than I paid second-hand fees for my complete L-bi and I figure I should be happy with him.
I probably won't post him in all his lipless glory until I get the after pics and do a whole comparison thing and all. I really need to get him some good permanent eyes before long. His eyewells will not hold eyes in for anything. The eyes are always constantly falling into the back of his head no matter how much putty you use. When I get some good ones they're getting hot-glued in.
Also I decided to do NaNoWriMo this year, I wanted to do it last year but it was half-way through November when I got the urge so I deceided not to. I'll be writing about the characters/story behind my SD sized dolls (Ivoine my kill-u sp and Jomi), it'll be norse mythology inspired, just like most of my dolls' names and hopefully writing 1,667 words a day for the whole of next month won't kill me. This month I'm going to try to get an outline done to make things easier on myself.
I found someone else to do my B-el and B-el madoromi/dozing faceplates, DOA user YamamuraTatsuya, after I go through the basics with her and get everything settled I'll be sending them off, sadly before my Sist gets done but what can I do about that really?
Seems like most of my paycheck will be going towards doll faceups. I'll be putting 50 aside for Aish to get done so whenever I get the PM from Lune I can send her off and not have to wait till my next payday. Then I'll also be shipping off 2 doll heads probably within a few days depending on how the correspondence goes.
I'm a bit disheartened already with the ebay user I bought August's issue of Hobby Japan magazine from. I used buy it now and paid immediately after DAYS ago and I just got a shipping notice 5 minutes ago that isn't even active yet (meaning it was probably shipped today). I expected to be getting it by today! When I sold things on ebay I shipped that stuff off as soon as people paid for it, not everyone is like that but still its not even a big package its just a rather thick magazine. I'm more peeved about it because its an ebay account of an actual brick-and-mortar store, not just some random person. Be more professional please!
I'm also still waiting for a wig and eyes from DOA user Aya Dear, which should be getting to me soon. Also waiting for the sweater I bought from Mio that I joined a group order to get. I ordered that sweater before I ordered the u-noa option parts which I got a long time ago. Mio is in very high demand and had tons of huge group orders (there were more than 12 people that I know of that were in the same order as I was..) so I was expecting a wait and there probably will still be one. Also waiting for the limited edition HG glass eyes that come with SD13 Cristal that I bought from Jenn which should also take a while.
I need to buy some gundam markers, and some water transfer film along with photo emulsion liquids to screen print with. I'm going to try to give Ivoine a tattoo on his back so I can use as an example so I can open up an aesthetics shop. I want to be able to do tattooing on dolls, so at least I'll have income to pay for the odds and ends such as eyes and wigs and the occasional faceup. It would be nice if they paid for themselves but I'm not pushing it lol. Also I need to finish saving at least 800 for Hrist (U-noa Zero Marion) and then work on getting Jomi his own body, Aish a mini supia body, or on Caelia the 43cm Narae I wanted long before the u-noa bug hit me. But then I still haven't settled on a skin tone for her...
Show us something that's ridiculously cute.
