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.

Of Arrivals and Face-ups

Bo finally arrived home a couple days ago and is he ever the cute wee one!
I had him borrow a yukata from one of the other kids here and, though I had ordered a pair of eyes for him, the ones I found in me Jar of Eyes is a definite keep for him. I don't really have a clue from where they are from but I'm almost 100% certain they came along with one of the guys here at some point or other.
Sadly the weather is all gone to shits with plenty of rain and cold and zero sun. I would really have prefered if the weather hadn't turned for the worse as I'd have loved being able to start painting him.
Anyway, here's the kiddo with his adorable pouty lips and button nose.

I'm going to be buying a few pairs of extra hands for him as I'd like some more natural hand poses besides his eternal peace signing and pointy finger on the other hand.

Now I'm just wanting for AC to send Jack on his way. The only thing being a hindrance for that is EndlessBJD not having finished up on my order of a dress, that even after over 3 months. It's getting a bit irritating as I had actually thought it'd be finished in time for when Jack would be sent on his way up here. It's why I ordered it, now I'm regretting it a little. Just hope they'll finish up on it soon as Jack is simply waiting for that silly dress to be completed. Would be nice if they had a notice board or a banner saying they were behind schedule, very busy because of a lot of orders, I'd understand that, but they haven't any of that. It's not that I'm made purely of impatience, but after 3 months one would expect an order to be finished, or am I wrong in thinking that?

Also recently got a few faces painted and I'm nearly finished too. The weather was amazing last Friday, blue skies and the sun high in the sky. I got some paint in those cheeks of Harry Potter and Minoru.

Upon painting Harry I noticed his one nostril being larger on the one side compared to the other. Hadn't noticed this back when he was blank. For a split second it bothered me a little but then I thought, to heck with that, he's perfect anyway! And then later that night I came up with a brilliant explanation as to for why his nose looks like that. He works as an Auror, accidents happen, they're bound to, some shit went down and he hurt his nose and before Mediwizards could get to him Muggles had brought him to a hospital and stitched him up. Shit happens, no?

Also, just look at those Scarlet Johansson lips, they really look something fierce like hers if you ask me and I can't unsee it. Perhaps it'll change when I add some more detail to them but I doubt it.

It's a shame one can't really see the blooper on his chin from where sealant did something weird, instead of thinking I had to remove it all again I instead embraced it and thought, hey melasma! I really want him to have a very soft expression  and love how it's turning out so far.

Also tried my hand at a third one, but, eh, it didn't really, uhh, well, see for yourselves:

I couldn't figure out at all what I wanted for him so I just went berserk and did whatever, and I don't even know. This was me not even being serious and part of me had hoped it would spark something in me but nope.

After wiping his face clean from that disaster up there I got the idea to do something inspired a little of BlueOxyde's boys. I sadly haven't had the chance to do anything much because the good weather didn't stick around after Friday. At least now I have an idea of how to paint him.
