okay, kinda. i renewed my paid account. so now, pictures are back... and yeah. woo. hopefully more will be happening here in the future. life has been quite unsettled, but the dolls are still incredible. now that i have both Kalimpong and Inari, a series of photostories may ensue. if i can find the right pure white wig for Kali. and make some period-appropriate clothes for them both for the past bits.

anyway!! we're still here! mwah!

This is the cute that is hanging out on mizunoseiryuu's desk. ShenTao is a Cerberus Project Minifee Chiwoo with a custom face up by para_chan214 and a custom outfit by me.




My apologies for the cell phone picture. The camera is elsewhere, and I was too excited not to post him.

if you are a DoA member, my shop is here: Transience -- Park Bench Creations Aesthetics, Customizations, and Modifications!

if you're where i am... heh! you can get out of worrying about shipping.

i go fall over now...

yeah, i'm finally going for it.

Transcience -- Park Bench Creations Aesthetics, Customizations, and Modifications on DoA.

scared now! but not yet wibbling. the thread isn't complete -- it still needs shipping info, how many commissions i will accept in a given month, example images and links to still more examples and so on and on, but feedback on what's there would be more than welcome. drop it here, or drop it to me directly at my personal journal

yes, that's right, Gail Gallows did not arrive alone. Pia came with him for a bit of attention, and while she's not QUITE complete, she wanted to show off a bit.



( + 7 more! )

finally got around to taking pics of my (para_chan214) newest mini, Kalimpong, and Iki with his new look (i repainted him right before Dollectible. Kali is only our second resin female in the house, giving us a grand total of one SD size girl and one MSD size girl. Iki is my third Rasendo, and a treasure. i adore them both.




( + 7 more! )

meet Klee, ancatsidhe's new boy, and my most recent faceup (of which i have photos).

( He really likes to pose... )

( It's not every day a handsome guy walks in and demands to be given scars )

Gail is a DZ Saka head with a modified default faceup -- his eyebrows were customized by his *pleasedon'tshootmeforthisGail!* owner kittywolf13 to better match his haircolor, his 'engraved' scars are by me, para_chan214. All other aspects of his faceup are untouched. He is wearing striking blue SoulDoll eyes and a hand-modified fur wig from Sunny's Wonderful World (it arrived unhemmed and was carefully hand-hemmed for better fit and styling and a more natural look.) For this photoshoot, he borrowed the body of my LE Senior Delf Dion, Peri.

Oh, the smex!

Name: Kalimpong
Doll Mold: DollZone Fenyo
Face up: default (currently, may change)
Eyes: 14mm silver metallics (acrylic, unknown maker, possibly Volks)
Hair: pale blonde shading to auburn (Jpopdolls' Kanawaves in Syma)
Age: old enough to have helped found the main shrine to Inari

( Another kitsune in the house... )

was very, very odd to fill out this survey. how was i to know Kalimpong was going to claim to be THE fox spirit from The Monk's Tale/The Dream Hunters/The Tale of the Monk and the Fox That Loved???

and yet, with her own twists, she has. fascinating little girl.

these pics are from a month or two ago, but i'm just now uploading them... as you may or may not know, angel recently re-shelled her character Shuusai Kyo as a CP V.2 Breakaway (Bloody Valentine), passing on his former Dolkot Hara form to ancatsidhe.

Kyo arrived blank, and i got to do his faceup. here he is!

( +12 more! )

today, the blind oracle borrowed a body, and came to the Saturday breakfast at the Sonoma Chicken Coop in downtown Campbell. he found it a very confusing but interesting experience, and was climbed on a bit by a tiny new friend.

( Lots more under the cute I mean cut! )

think i'm gonna spend the weekend taking pictures! (i=para-chan)

to start with... Timmony!

( +9 more! jailbait ahoy! ) innee a cutie? next up will probably be Kyo. we'll see!

Name: Timmony Carter
Doll Mold: Mythdoll Little Leroi
Face up: para-chan
Eyes: Luts green-gray/teal glass 14mm
Hair: DOD Kirill default
Age: 14

( Basic Personality and more... come meet Timmony )

so... that's my new boy. i'm adopting him from angel on layaway.

I decided to re-shell Cassidy, my feline familiar boy, in a doll who fit better with the other "pre-bish" in the house. (Note: pre-bish = pre bishounen, too young to be called an actual bish, generally about 12 in this household) Cassidy's new sculpt is a Volks MDS Enn one-off, and he's adorable. His old shell, after some deliberation, has been passed on to para-chan and will become Timmony, another pre-bish.






Obligatory foot shot, or as Emily would say, "I have feet!"

A quiet day somewhere in California...

( Or is it? )

I have to wonder what Tensiya will be offering in the future. For those of you who don't subscribe to their newsletter, here is the text of what they sent (minus the ten thousand useless line breaks that put one sentence on every twentieth page).

angel's (mizunoseiryuu) new boys!

Kyuubi showing off. Kyuubi is around 320 years old. He is a kitsune (fox spirit) with three tails.

The beautiful leaves and amber crystal belt that para-chan made for Kyuubi along with his wonderful pants from Marsh at Den of Angels.

Shentao looking far too sweet. Shentao is a qi lin (kirin, Chinese "unicorn") who had not reached his adulthood when a human tricked him into taking human form and then turned him into a slave. He spent nearly a century imprisoned by a priest he thought was his friend, and now he has escaped, not aware of the time that has passed. He is unfamiliar with the human form or human concepts of modesty or sexuality.

Doll meet today. Two of them, actually. Breakfast with the local doll ladies at the Chicken Coop, and then lunch and a trip to the park with another group of nice doll ladies (and Kaji and Gundmithcat, who are nice but not ladies). It was my idea of a good day.

On to the point: Right after AOD, I ordered two dolls, thinking that it would be a while before I saw either of them. Both of them arrived this week. Pictures will come when I get around to downloading them off the camera. Until then, I have done doll quizzes for both of them.
( Now presenting Kyuubi and Shentao )

finally got to paint Iki today while i was painting angel's newest boy, Shentao. (pics of Shentao to come another day)



( + 3 more! )

Yeah, it's that time again!
