Immortality of Soul
Head Sculpt:
Anos
Skintone:
Normal skin
Body:
Volks SD13B-B-01 w/ long legs
Sex:
Male
  • Face-up artist(s):
    Unknown
    Body blushing artist(s):
    Me
    Date of acquisition:
    July 2023
    Provenance:
    Purchased IOS Anos head from YOUKAIMOON, purchased Volks SD13 body from nikittin.
    I sees a pretty head, I buys a pretty head. My impulse control is nonexistent.

    On my return to the hobby, I first went hunting for a head for Cassian. In that hunt I kept seeing this IOS Anos head...and what do you know, I'd just purchased an SD13 body that I was planning on giving to Aren, but alas! It could not be. The body went to Kestrel instead.

    YOUKAIMOON sent Kestrel's head along with a beautiful Monique Gold wig and gorgeous silicone eyes. So far I love the combination, even if I don't quite love how much dust the eyes attract. I installed some lashes because I'm a masochist, though I'm not 100% about them and may remove them.

    Kestrel's body is actually yellowed white resin-- I did some quick blushing to match the neck and hands, and it seems to fly under the radar pretty well. I also had some clothes that none of my other dolls seemed to nom onto, so I gave them to Kestrel...and boom! Kestrel happened.

    This was a very easy doll for me overall. Everything just kind of happened and fell into place, which did a lot to help reignite my interest in BJD's!

    Apologies for poor photos in advance. They're...surprisingly hard to photograph? That and their hair is quite defiant. The hair cares not for wig spray nor hairpins. Here's hoping that when the weather cools off I'll be able to get their desert photoshoot going with minimal drama from the wig.
  • Eyes:
    16MM Masterpiece soft glass eyes in Fawn.
    Wig:
    Monique Gold Roxy wig in Foxy Red
    Favourite colours:
    Bronze, sienna, and jade.
    Fashion style(s):
    What, another fantasy-ish aesthetic?
    Key fashion accessory:
    All the little hairpins holding their floof in place.
    I'll put more here when I start spoiling Kestrel. So far they're looking real pretty in their outfit.
  • Name story:
    I always liked 'Kestrel' for a name, so I went ahead and plopped it on them.
    Character age:
    Adult.
    Character gender:
    Nonbinary. They/them.
    Offsite roleplay:
    This doll's character is available for offsite roleplay.
    Tall, broad, and built like a bruiser, Kestrel is used to being the biggest person in the room. Thankfully they've found some use for their brawn in adventuring.

    Besides adventuring, their hobbies include indulging in excess, lifting people for show, and refusing to wake until the sun is midway through a morning.

      Thank you! That wig really does test me-- it wants to just poof out to the sides and needs lots of restyling, but it's sooo worth the work when I get it tame for about 10 minutes. And thank you about the outfit, it's a little fussy as well, but I'm surprised at how well all of the colors work!
