Doll-Zone Lankui

Lankui finally got a new face-up. Not so sure whether I'm going to keep it like that, but for now it is certainly better than the default one. 

Another bug arrived

Yes, it seems I'm absolutely crazy for this cute little DZ bugs. I just hope they are going to offer more of them as event dolls in the future. How about a tiny butterfly or a tiny moth or something the like?

I got him with the DZ default face-up, but I think I will change it to make him look more like his girlfriend DongDong.

DongDong: So you're the new one? But why are you naked?

LanKui: ^////^

DongDong: Come on we're going to find you some clothes.

Just for fun a view from behind. I really like Lankui's dragonflywings. They're so amazingly movable. 

The DZ default face-up. No he isn't dirty on his cheeks, that's where he has some sort of silvery fantasy tattoo. But if the light doesn't hit it from the right angle it doesn't show properly. 

Shiny, shiny!

There are a lot of things going on with my collection currently. I've decided for my own sake to downsize it and instead of constantly getting new ones, finishing up with all the old ones who still lack blushings/clothing/wigs/eyes and whatnot.

So I've sold Euclase, I've sold one of my Cuprits (the LE Dark Frost version, but I've kept my Cuprit mod Hybrid) and I'm currently in the process of selling my Ender as well. Although it is a pity to let all of those gorgeous dolls go, it is also a kind of relief to me. It feels better to have fewer and to be able to concentrate more on them. 

And as a first I've decided to finish the blushings on my Syen's hooves. (Well, yes, my Syen wears Glot hooves instead of her original gargoyle feet.)  I've also tried for the first time to use Pearl Ex Powder on body parts - and wow is it shiny O___O. But I love that effect, my Syen is a girly-girl, so it fits well with her overall concept xD.

Dongdong is here

Last week Dongdong arrived, but it wasn't until yesterday that I had the time to paint her face. She's the  cutest little thing. I'm totally in love with her. Evers since I first saw these DZ tinies last year at LDoll, I knew that I really wanted them. They're just the perfect size, I think it's similar to Lati Yellow special. <3.

Next on my plan is to get Lankui and/or Kuilan, too, so my beetle girl will have some dragonfly friends to hang out with. Oh talking of beetles, I still need to blush her wings.

I've sold one of my Cuprit girls, too. I think it's better like that. I've realized after much contemplation that I'm just not the person who needs so many dolls. Actually I'm already considering selling a couple more in the course of the year. I rather have a smaller collection, but with a lot of different sizes. Regarding Cuprit I'm really glad, because I know that she has found a wonderful new home where she will be appreciated more than here where she spent most of her time in her box. And I am already curious to see what she will look like once she will have got her new face-up.

Sorry if I don't post much lately

...but real life work as well as a nasty flu was keeping me occupied with other things.

However, those last days I couldn't help thinking about my BJD collection and how exactly my future plans with them might be. And once again, like two years ago, I think it's time to slow down, stop for a while and reconsider everything. I've sold three of my dolls and I think I will be selling a couple more. There are still two more dolls on my want-list and I will get those two dolls, mainly for the reason that I already committed to their purchase some time ago, but other than that I plan to not buy any new dolls 2012.

Instead I want to focus a little bit more on building their wardrobe (oh heck, my sewing machine is starting to fall apart and I'm afraid that I'll need to get me a new one. Hello there expensive purchases...), photographing them, develop their personalities, etc.

This here for instance is my Cuprit. I've been planing for years to give her a new face-up and I hope that I'll find the time now.
