1. Gosh, I love crossovers. Plucking a character from their natural setting and plunking them elsewhere that's not so natural. I dream of a day when Dr. Gregory House vacations in Miami and gets involved with the Miami Metro and a certain blood spatter analyst. Dexter's mental commentary on House's witticisms... I can imagine it now <3 <3 <3 House on Dexter would be super-duper! Dexter on House? Not so much.

2. Tattoos are great! Nearly all of my characters have tattoos. The one's that don't are probably too young to have them. Haha. I think it's a kind of obvious differentiation mechanism. Like hairstyles usually are in a lot of manga. I really want my characters to be unique. By that I mean that I want them to be unique from each other. I try to pay attention to every detail that defines a character... subtle stuff like skin tone, the slope of the nose, the curve of the eyebrows, the shape of the ears, and not so subtle stuff like height and weight. Like they say, "God is in the details." But regardless of the effort, I still find that hairstyle makes the greatest impact. ah poo~

3. Situational irony: best storytelling device ever(PERIOD)

I have an uncanny love of paper and it verges on madness. I swear I've kept every single scrap of paper since I was 12. The purging process is nerve-wrecking. Two things keep me from throwing things out: possible usefulness and sentimental value. I keep thinking things like, "What if I need to re-learn how to do long-division? This worksheet will be useful then!" and "When I'm old and wrinkly I will be pleasantly reminded of the days when I used to go to the school library when I come across this note informing me that I have an overdue book!" and other such nonsense.

During this process I've come across countless pages of notes covered with doodles. And I've been thinking how it's even possible that this kind of stuff comes out of one's brain...

2(mutant My Little Pony) + 1/2(Face of Evil) = Face of Evil Pony Dimer
Seriously?

Seriously, I miss collaborative doodles.

It's interesting to see how my style has changed through the years. More interesting is seeing what's stuck. The stuff that practically defines my style. I think it's silly that the words that I'd use to define my drawing style can be used to describe me pretty well. It's pretty scary when you really think about it...

It's really because I like doing faceups and making accessories and taking pictures. Basically the reason for that is because the turnaround time is so short. Other upload-worthy stuff takes way too much time, and patience is just one of those things...

I think it's the coloring that takes much much too much time. I just don't have the skills to whip 'em out, unfortunately. I wish I did. Perhaps it's a good idea to try some more of that kind of stuff that makes me want to chop off my fingers. Seriously, more than 10 minutes of coloring drives me nuts. But the idea of completing a picture makes me want to try at least. Hopefully I'll still have all my fingers when I'm done.

They still need a good home. Just let me know if you're interested.

I really have a hard time keeping any sort of long term interests.
I just get bored of the same old same old.
I'm always looking for the next new thing to obsess over.

So, the time has come...
If anyone is interested in either Naruto or Kakashi...
Just let me know.
The price is definitely negotiable.
If no one wants to give them homes, they're going into a box to be stored with all my other past obsessions.
That would be a sad end...
but I've got to make room for whatever comes next!

But I say, I love this new look. The teeth just kill me. Teeth on dolls are just too cute. I'm probably gonna wipe of the faceup though. It was kind of sloppily done because I wanted to actually see what the mods really look like. oh, and I sanded the nose more and the cheeks as well.

Wow the evolution of Kamen.

I think he's had more than 10 different faces...
I've recently modded his eyes smaller and sanded his nose down more.
He looks more mature...
and reminds me of the Senior Delf Ababdon on occasion.
In anycase, there's probably a lot more change in store for Kamen.
I can't ever be 100% satisfied w/his condition, I suppose^^

I've always wanted this head, but now that I have it I'm not sure if I like him as much as I thought I would. I'm only planning on keeping one head for my Kamen. So either the Namu or the Shiwoo has to go. I'm just not sure at the moment which I like better.

If it ends up that I really can't make up my mind... I'll just get rid of both heads.
but while I make up my mind I'll enjoy the company of both Kamens ^^

Ta-Da!
Enter Kamen the floating head~ he/she doesn't have a fixed character so I can paint him/her however I want whenever I want. Plus, not having a body keeps me focused on the face. It's a SOOM Namu head. I love that mold. It's so different. The fat lips and big nose are just so intriguing; however, I did mod him. I gave Namu a nose-job. I rounded it out to make it look like a "real" nose. I mean, the original Namu nose is so pointy and upturned... in any case I love Namu's potential.

I think the only thing permanent about Kamen is going to be the gold eyes. I love these SOOM Nightflowers I got for Kamen. I also bought a Batchix bust, but it hasn't gotten here yet.

Enter a new era of possibility~

I wasn't digging the super orange lips. I kept it for a while because it was my first faceup, but I think I like this new one better.

I've been super busy with school and really haven't had the time to do anything significant besides homework... Although, somehow I still manage to get some projects in. I guess I can't resist^^ In any case, I hope that I won't fail this semester.

Everyone keep it fresh~

I'm so surprised by the different looks my dear SungWoon can take on. I like playing with the default wig he came with (the gray one) although he's "naturally" black-haired. He came with blue eyes, but I can't stand them. He looks like someone else. Not to mention, he looks so cold -_-;;;

anyway...

I've been having fun, even more so because I've had all this uninterrupted free time, but that's soon about to change. I'm starting my summer gig soon. I'll try to make the best use of my time.

I did his faceup and gave him a light body-blushing. Oh, and I cut his wig, which took longer than I had expected.

SungWoon has three clothing items -_-;;; A pair of underwear, a white t-shirt, and a pair of jeans. The jeans turned out better than I thought they would.

Photos are finally up!

I tell you it's <3.

The whole process is so fun. sculpting, wigmaking, dying, painting, sewing, posing, photographing!

I'm really excited to be able to take pics of Naruto and Kakashi together~
<3<3<3

I've run out of Obitsu bodies, and I'm not sure it's really wise of me to be spending more of my money to get some more...

I should probably work on drawing something. I haven't really drawn anything in forever.

Whatever I do it should be fun.
Enjoy the summer!

until now!
I finally finished my 1/6 scale Kakashi dollfie(doll + action figure)!

Making his outfit almost killed me. I swear this whole 1/6 scale thing is going to be the death of me. I often wonder how a guy who wears sweat pants and a sweat shirt can possibly be so cool? His outfit is so frumpy-_-;;

Oh, and then I'll have to work on finishing my Naruto dollfie. Poor kid, he doesn't have a shirt.

<3 <3 <3

I tried as best I could to make them like I imagined... but of course they're not perfect ^^
I love them nonetheless.

"Darcie" meaning dark and "Lucian" meaning light. I think it suits them.
Their uniforms came out pretty well too, although, the stripes were supposed to be plaid. (I couldn't find the right plaid fabric -_-;

Oh, and Benson! I got him at the thrift store for 99 cents.
Lovely dog.

It's really good to be home.

I can't believe I've accumulated so much junk! Organizing it all will take forever, although I did get a lot of it done today...

I can't wait to really get started on my planned summer projects ^^
I have so many things I want to work on.

In any case, I'm happy~

Oh, and a new one in the gallery to kick off the summer!

When I first started getting into bjds I was kinda creeped out by the 1/3scale 60cm dolls, but the more I looked at them and thought about them the more I got used to them, and then I started entertaining the idea that maybe I'd like to do a faceup for one of 'em, and then I started to have the feeling they weren't so bad. I still thought $600 wasn't worth it...

until I saw the DIM Achernar.
I fell head over heels and lost my mind.
I say it must've been love at first sight <3

I have this bad habit of becoming impulsive and wanting things and not being appeased until I get it. It was like that for the Roomba, the Wacom, the laptop, the phone, the mp3 player, the snow boots, the...

I tired to resist. Of course I couldn't rationalize spending $600. (It's the second most expensive thing I've felt impulsive about topped only by the laptop and then followed by the tablet.) I talked to everyone about my ridiculous urge to spend $600 on a DOLL. They told me I'd better not. They told me I was a fool. I called my mom for some more sound advice, and she told me:

"I know $600 is a lot of money, but don't let that get in the way of your passions." (I <3 MOM)

I was flabbergasted and more that that I felt many warm fuzzy feelings about the wonderfullnicity of mothers. I think she was feeling guilty about "not having fostered my artistic ability." I suppose she felt that they might have forced me to become and engineer and not some artsy-fartsy designer or whatever because of hyped expectations... of course I reassured her by telling her that I do have superior analytical thinking skills in addition to my natural creative ones. I mean, whose daughter does she think I am *wink wink*

With that encouragement, I sucked it up and shelled out the $600 and ordered the DIM Achernar. So all I have left to do now is wait.

They say he'll be here in about a month.

I uploaded a rough concept sketch of 성운, "Nebula" in Korean, as a scrap. (That's also where I went wrong... I shouldn't have thought up the perfect name for him before I even definatively decided to purchase him... I must have known in my heart of hearts that he'd be mine eventually)

so... today's moral?
$600 is a small price to pay for happiness and peace of mind.

I named my first 1/6 dollfie "Marie".
She's some crazy mix of French courtesan and Colonial beauty.
I'm a proud mama. ^^

I'll get around to getting some more creative stuff done... eventually -_-;;;
It's a long term goal.
Let's not rush things.

If I ever finish _______________ I'll post that...
but at this point that seems like it'll be a long time coming.

I want summer vacation!
