I decided to swap Taiga’s hands for the bigger Dollfie Dream size hands as I noticed that the part where we pop the hands in are similar in shape and size.
Here, she is using the DD size DDII-H-03 hand (Pointing Hand)
Ara? Who’s this shorty? *gets beaten up* x_x
Finally my Taiga (from Toradora!) Mini Dollfie dream is completed! ^^;/ To see some progress for painting the head you can check out this entry – Painting a 3D head on my art blog. :) This entry here is mostly for the completed doll :)
I want to take this chance to thank a few friends who kindly help us take photos of Glacier Lily who’s now on display with the other fabulous custom dolls in Singapore at the STGCC (Singapore Toy, Games and Comics Convention)! Thanks Kodomut and Arayden~! And Jooli – pix here! (see Jooli’s beautiful sewing work here)
Went to my 2nd local BJD meet, I almost didn’t make it… ^^; It was organised and hosted by a lovely girl who’s going to a different province to study in about 2 weeks time ^^;/
Mirin… I think she had a blast :P and shown me some sides of her which I didn’t know of ^^;;;; I also brought my hybrid MSD Elliot along :3 Unfortunately her pix were kinda blurry ^^;;;
If you had seen some of Danny’s recent photos you may have noticed his Ryomo chan wearing a bikini looking very much like the Mirai Suenaga Bikini art :3 It isn’t 100% exact but definitely inspired by the original :) And of course you may also have seen the Jacket which he commissioned from months back? ^^;/
We got a couple Gordenette patches in the mail yesterday ^o^ Thanks Gordon!
If you’re interested in getting one or more for your own collection, now’s your chance ^^;/
I attended my first ball joint doll meet this year after so many years of being in Canada ^^; Not sure what was stopping me in the first place. I’m not always good in crowded situations could be one of the reasons crippling me. ^^; But I am glad I went! Met some new doll folks and their dolls :) I haven’t been in the ball joint doll scene for a bit, so it’s good to hang out and see what’s out there :)
Mokotan and Vivi chan made a couple new friends of their kind ^o^
After seeing the news post on Danny’s site about the up coming Mini Dollfie Dream Louise, I was reminded that I intended to make a customised Taiga Mini Dollfie Dream(MDD) ^o^! Trying out a computer render on photo of the purchased blank head, wig image is taken from the latest louise MDD photo and tweaked to look like Taiga’s. (very quickly/roughly) Shall I make an annoyed face or a smirking face? Decisions decisions…
ETA: Sanded annoyed face :P yes I sanded off her lips to lower the mouth, sanded around the nose too ^^; still need tweaking…
