1. How long have YOU been dolling?
July 2003. Aka far too long. lol

2. You have to like something about it; what is it? What do you enjoy dolling?
It's a hobby. Way to kill time on rainy days. I've always loved pretty things, and dolling gives me an excuse to make some. Hence my soft spot for gowns and dresses. I also love the accomplised feeling you get when you put the finishing touches on a doll you are particularly proud of. lol.

3. What do you HATE dolling, eh? You know, clothes, hair..
Hair. And Black clothes. cos I'm not very good at either. lol

4. Your favorite part of your dolls, usually is:
Folds folds folds! That and the jewellery/flowers/sparkles and other lil touches that finishes off a doll

5. What do you put the most effort into: clothes/hair/stuff..or base editing?
Definitely the clothes. They are usually the main focus of my dolls, so I tend to concentrate mostly on those

6. Bases are a staple of the dolling community. Do you like using them, or do you prefer to go baseless?
I'm such a base user. lol. My knowledge of the the human anatomy is unfortunately limited to the squidgy bloody bits on the inside. Besides, there are so many great bases out there these days, you can't help but want to try them out

7. Not all dollers are basemakers..are you?
Nope.I've tried once or twice, and may do so again in the future (far future, lol) but I'm not a regular basemaker. (see previous comment about my grasp of the human anatomy. lol)

8. Are you part of any dolling forums?
Yes, even though I have a bad habit of lurking. Currently, I'm hanging around GLAM a lot ^_^

9. This community can suck ass sometimes. List for us FOUR pet peeves when it comes to the doll community, that you just wanna strangle people for:
strangle is a strong word, but some stuff I'd like to see improved
- Frankendolling. self explanatory.
- Lack of CC in the community - slightly hypocritic of me seeing as I rarely give out cc myself (usually only if 1- there's something to mention and 2- if I know the doller can handle it). But there's always the fear of accidently offending someone XD
- Tolerance of differing opinions - The dolling world is full of grey areas, live and let live, peoples ^_^
Only three, cos I can't think of a fourth XD

10. But there's awesome people here, too! List three of your favorite dollers.
Just three? You can't be serious?
- This girl can do dresses like nobody's business
- my newest dolling idol. Like I've told her, it's not human to be able to pixel so smoothly. She's also always up for giving people CC, which is something I admire.
- I'm no tooler, but if I am, I'd wanna tool like dollmama.
- blue knows her stuff. Go read her tutorials if you haven't already.
- one word. hair. (Not to mention she's sweet enough to rot your teeth - and I mean that in the nicest possible way, of course )

Speaking of three people...Tag three dollers to do this
Again, just three? Dollers - knock yourselves out

Sunny's Terms of Use

Dolls and Pixels labeled unadoptable are (naturally ) unadoptable. This means you shouldn't display them on your site - they are usu... ]]> ~FallenSunrise http://FallenSunrise.deviantart.com/journal/22406653/ http://FallenSunrise.deviantart.com/journal/22406653/ Mon, 05 Jan 2009 02:30:11 PST
Due to the recent drama going on in the dolling community with regards to ambiguous terms of use , I thought I'd post a version of my terms up in dA, just to clarify things and prevent misunderstanding.

Pasted from my site:

Dolls and Pixels labeled unadoptable are (naturally ) unadoptable. This means you shouldn't display them on your site - they are usually made for a specific someone

Always link back to me if you choose to adopt (display my dolls) anywhere. Text or banner, doesn't matter. As long as the credit's on the same page as the doll, I'm happy

Do not claim that my dolls are yours. My dolls are not open resources - do not change them in anyway, or make your dolls/graphics using parts of mine. - The only exception to this would be my bases:

If you use one of my bases for your dolls, link back to me. Text, button, whatever. It has to be on the SAME page as my base.

Feel free to edit these bases as much as you like, but rule one still applies!

If you want to make a dollmaker out of my bases... well... email me and I'll think about it XD

Show me your work if you want! I'd love to see them and would love to showcast them at my site (with your permission, of course.)


If you aren't sure of whether these terms apply to you or not, feel free to contact me.

[/seriousness]

Going to visit beijing next week. Great wall, here I come!

Funky asian internet connection does mean I have trouble accessing geocities for some reason... could be due to censorship or just bad connection... I seem to be able to access other sites fine though... anyway, if you are wondering why I'm not updating my site, this is why

felt ridiculously happy to upload my first doll in almost nine months. lol. I swear, uni takes over your life

Now there's just the nervewracking wait for results

In the meantime, i shall enjoy my dolling freedom.

I think I shall convert all my dolls into png sometime, just coz I don't really like the whole preview thing... besides, I have time to kill, anyway

Still alive ^_^ haven't managed to finished any dolls though I blame intense uni schedule I have a bijillion ideas in my head though, and am currently working on a couple of them whenever I have a bit of spare time... will try and see if I can get one finished one of these days XD

Finally got my hands on photoshop CS2. Can't wait to start playing around with it to see what kind of new spiffy tools CS2 brings... Have already noticed it comes with its own animation toolbar! No more switching over to Imageready for animating gifs. How convenient ^_^ will miss my PS7 though... have grown oddly attached to it over the past five years XD

I have spent some time tonight updating my favourites.... looking at other peoples amazing dolls always gives me an urge to doll myself...

Uni life is well underway, and boy, is it underway! Not sure if I've mentioned this, but I'm doing a pre-med first year course, with the hopes of getting selected into medicine next year :S I guess it goes without saying that life is pretty stressful and hectic at the moment, and it probably won't let up until at least semester break in June (three months and counting! ) As this is one of those important, life affecting, make or break years, I'm determined to do my best ^_^ Unfortunately, this means that dolling has taken a back seat, so if you were wondering about the long gaps, this is why

On the upside, I've been doodling a lot of bones and muscles under the pretense of 'studying' for my anatomy&hysiology paper, so with any luck, this better understanding of human anatomy might carry to better drawing skills...? lol. I shall remain optimistic

Anyway, wish me luck And I shall try my best to keep up with the current goings of the dolling world

Valentines day is in a few days, And I still haven't finished the gift doll.. -_-" Shall endeavour to finish it on time... but I leave for uni on Wednesday, and there is so much preparation to do :S..

Was actually feeling rather down these couple of days... there's the usual apprehension over going to university in a different city, having to find new friends, and whether the coursework would be too much, since there are a bijillion first years in the pre-med course competing for the few second year med spots... *headdesk* But hey, it's an adventure, right? lol.

The summer holidays are drawing to a close, so I'm afraid I won't be updating as often I tend to doll a LOT less when school starts, and I'm pretty sure uni's going to be worse... I shall try to hang around the forums/update my journal/site though, just to show I'm alive

Watched Pushing Dasies today. They just released the first season in NZ last week, and showed the second episode today. Loving it. Soooo funny, and the lead couple are the most adorable thing since Betty and Henry from Ugly Betty, before things started going all dramatic and haywire. Just the thing to cheer me up.

Oh, and a big happy Chinese New Year to all those who celebrate it ^_^

Oooooh.. I do believe this is my longest journal entry ever

My Best friend gave me a set of watercolour pencils today... the good quality ones. It's scary how well she knows me, since I had just been thinking of buying some, but they are so expensive . It's not a medium I've used before, but I'm hoping to be able to play around with it *excited*
