DollZone Antu - Box Opening

Got this little cutie in the mail a couple of days ago, haven't had the time to share pictures of the BO until now. AC didn't send me any notification of then having shipped it off, I just randomly got a text from DHL, which I at first thought to be a scam. The delivery guy came around about an hour before I had to go to work so the pictures were just quick snaps. Could have waited, but how could I? How can anyone? And it being my first ever centaur I was so impatient to see him already!

I haven't got any eyes for him yet, all the spare ones I had laying around just didn't fit him properly, they were all too human. Don't know if I will use the wings or the tiny unicorn horn, he already looks absolutely adorable as it is! I'll see to sew him a little something to wear in the days to come, wont be anything wild as I have plans of blushing most of that body. Not going with a traditional wig either, going to be making one from out of mulberry flowers or some such, he'll be such a cute little horse boy!

Of group pictures and future resin plans

A while ago I shot an updated 'group picture' of the resin family in all of it's glory. Sure, still a lot of work left to do, but I don't mind nor care, I love having all these little projects laying waiting for me whenever I find the time. That's how I like to do things, while others might be of a differing opinion. Anyway, shot a similar picture about a year ago, and do time change things around for the better! Not all are in this picture and are off for face-ups, mods, or plain and simple doesn't have a body to call their own as of yet. Two are entirely missing as I didn't spare it a thought before after, they're sitting comfortably in a chair near my computer.

After taking this picture I finally caved in and  ditched my idea of modifying that dark beauty sitting right next to Merida. Jessica, Supia Juah in tan, who previously went by the name Kareem, wasn't to be a girltoboy project afterall, no, my mind wanted it much differently. She's to be some sort of traveller or refugee, not really decided yet. She will meet up with Merida and they will form a relationship. I've already decided on Jessica's outfit, a Kilt! She'd look amazing in one I'm sure and I found a pattern for cheap on etsy the other day, now it's just to find someone who'd be willing to sew it for me as I have zero time for that lately. That part is a bit sad, but it's life sometimes, and there are so many talented people out there who I'm sure would do a bang good job!

Else, my plans right now, what resin goes, is getting home a whole lot of bodies. Norman, DF-A Bach, will be getting a body from DC as I absolutely adore their style and I can't but stop thinking of how sweet he'd look residing on one of those. Gilbert, BF PF Didi, needs an upgrade from his PF body and will go up on a Pepper body instead. He just need to 'grow up' a bit more than his current state. His PF body I will probably put up for sale, thinking charging something like $80-$90 for it when that does happen. Also have this little guy, Mo, a DZ Jani, who's body I truly hate. It's engineered so very badly, he can't sit for shit without falling backwards, his knee joints are truly ugly, and for such a small body it's really nothing glamourous looking at in the long run. I'll be getting him a new body from DZ, their B27-001, one of their newer types which look ever so adorable and a lot more well thought out as well.
There are two more who's in need of a body, but for now, these three will be the main priority. The other two bodies needing home are both from SpiritDoll, their Elegance and Proud bodies, really love their resin and those bodies look absolutely stunning!

Will need to contact RingDoll about buying an Amethyst head separately. Don't like their sunshine bodies for such an innocent face and if I can't find their old type RingTeen body in WS anywhere I'll go with one from DF-A as I know their WS is a spot on match to that of RD. Will be painting and dress him up like Theodore and they'll be the brothers going under the name PrettyinPorcelain. Probably going to raid AyuAna for outfits now and then as they have such lovely garments in just the style they wear, How perfect is that?! No, but really, AyuAna are amazing, everything I bought from them some weeks ago still blow me away, all that lavish detail and the fabrics are all incredibly gorgeous! Really, do go check them out, support them, it's sooooo worth every penny! And they aren't even all that expensive when all comes to all either really.
Already have the eyes and wig picked out for him as well, already immensely excited for someone who's not even here yet and might not be for quite a while to come xD

I don't know if you've enjoyed my little rant up there, if it was even of any interest, if you made it all the way to the bottom eventually, but for those who did, here's a little bonus.

Harry came home

Got quite an unexpected package today in the mail, not that I'm complaining, Our postal service treats packages worse and worse it seems, quite tattered and beaten up this box.

 At least everything was as should be inside of the box though it could have been battered near flat and that sheet of bubble-wrap wouldn't have been much of any protection

Found it a bit odd the head didn't come in some sort of protective box, seeing how little the postal service cares for treating packages lately.

And here he is in all his naked glory, he looks exactly like on DODs official pictures even without face-up. Usually there's something not quite as in their pictures so got positively surprised.
Seeing this handsome face almost makes me want to bring the other two Valentine heads home, not because I have any plans but all because I can xD

Having swapped the head putting new Harry onto the body 

instead, taking both the eyes, wig and glasses, here he is and

 all that's missing's the face-up. 

And just because, a picture of him without the glasses, perhaps I should 

see if I could find a pair with smaller but still round frames or simply an 

entirely different type. I'll figure it out.

Chilling with Draco after the long trip from Korea catching up on things

I've got bit by a Mad Freckler, I'm most certainly positive of this.

Cody, DollZone Moment Ji, now with some red in those little cheeks and lush lips. Gorgeous little kiddo.

Harry - DreamofDoll DOI Kellan mod

Kean - DollsTown Yujin

Need to practice painting eyebrows, like, loads more. But I can say this in my defence; I’m slowly, but steadily, getting better. Can we just agree eyebrows are a pain in the ass to paint sometimes?

And that face of Harry’s won't stick around for long, at least as being that character. He’s just started to bug me the wrong way so getting another sculpt home better suited (DOD Valentine head01).

Of new arrivals and eyes

So, got new eyes for some of the guys here along with a new guy. 

His name is Derek and he’s an AngelHeim Zion in NS. He needs a wig, eyes and not entirely sure where to find him a body yet, but I’ll figure it out.

Back to the eyes, all from Mako and their new Owl line. They look just as stunning in real life as in their pictures. It's fast becoming my favourite series of eyes from them.

The pictures were kind of hurried as the light were slowly disappearing, so, I didn't get to take some proper closeups. These will have to do for now.

6) Biggest size you own? (Have held/seen/like) 

The tallest guy here’s around 73cm, there’s actually two, DZ Hong and a Leeke Eiden on an old DZ 72,5cm body. Because this meme would be kind of a ‘dry one’ with just plain text and explanations I’ve here gathered all the tall guys ranging from 70cm and up to near 73cm:

From left to right:

Draco Malfoy - DZ Yue, Harry Potter - DOD DOI Kellan, Ayden McKinnon - DR X Chi, Tristan Blake - LD Keid ara new type hybrid Luts SSDF WS, Nathaniel Hunt - LK Eiden hybrid DZ 72,5cm WS, Matthew Loque - DZ Hong, Pitch Black - DS Saint Dark Grey

Bigger picture here

Tristan needs some propper clothes though he doesn’t seem to mind prancing about wearing just that v-neck and boxers, even Pitch doesn’t seem to give a damn showing off his gorgeous grey skin. Will see to get Draco, Harry and Matthew painted soon kinda sad seeing them all blank.

3) Post a picture of all your dolls! 

This was quite the workout having to get all of these guys together like this and had to sit back for just a few in awe. Like these 40some guys do look like a lot but before they sat all scattered around the room so it didn’t come of as being all too bad.
There are so many still in need of a face-up but either the sun, when it shines once in a while, is gone by the time i get home from work or, when the weather is finally for it and it’s during the weekends, I’m all booked with some family stuff which sucks, also been a bad boy and gotten quite behind what sewing clothing goes ._. Hope once that room, the very room this picture is shot, has been set up properly I can get to working on sewing once more.

Bigger version here, sorry about the quality.
