Good choice of characters for this sculpt. I love the game and I've been looking for a Dante since Christy made her guy.

@Peachy - Congratulations! He'll make a wonderful V!

 

@Peachy Congrats! He's lovely.

 

It was a great morning: I had awesome doll and gorgeous concrete wall

 

Oh gosh he's beautiful

 

@Quiet and Insane thank you! Self-isolation is much better with dolls and balcony

 

@Rook_Sever - I should take my dolls out more often seeing as I have more time now too...hmm. Pariah does need some new photos after all.

 

@Quiet and Insane you absolutely should!

 

@Rook_Sever I love your boy so much! More pictures of him please.. hehehe!

My handset arrived in the mail today after almost a month in transit and they're stunning. I can't wait to start blushing them!

In the meantime, here's one of Zenon who's helping tide me over while my country's on our third week of lockdown...

 

@kagami - Oh WOW!! His scars are amazing! They look like they're glowing.

 

@Quiet and Insane Thank you so much omg~ I used gold pigment powder to paint over his scars because they're meant to look like fire is trying to break out from under his skin. It photographs miraculously really well in low light with a ring light pointed at his face and some Photoshop enhancement I was very shocked by the results!

 

@kagami thank you! Oh, I have more, they just need a Lightroom touch

Congrats! Those hands are to die for - mine set was waiting almost a year until I became brave enough to blush them XD

 

@kagami - The effect is amazing! You've done such a wonderful job!

 

@Quiet and Insane Thank you so much

I did some hand-blushing over the weekend and here are my results. This was before I added gloss

I'm so obsessed with these hands.. ARGH

 

@kagami oh wow, this is gorgeous!!! More of these hends please

 

Oh wow!! That looks amazing! Bah...now you're making me want to blush Pariah's hands. Curse this crappy weather.

 

One balcony, one doll, one cardboard = many photos

 

@Quiet and Insane Thank youuu aaah!! And omg, please share your results if/when you do! Blushed pale tan hands will look amazing~

@Rook_Sever Thank you!! I will when I get to the other hands too~ and OMFG your boy is AMAZING. That faceup, that wig! I'm obsessed

 

@kagami - I'll get to it one day. Curse my overenthusiastic tattoo designs for him. He's going to be one hell of a project!

@Rook_Sever - I could stare at him all day! I adore all the little details in his face up and blushing.

 

@kagami Your boy looks incredible with that scaring! Really amazing how you made it glow like that

@Rook_Sever Ahh, he looks so great! amazing styling

This is my Jude.
I hoped to work more on him in these times, but I just can't find much energy to work on dolls.

 

@kagami @Quiet and Insane @Prinsessen thank you so much!

@Prinsessen he's cool!

 

@Prinsessen - He looks so cool!

 

Congrats ! I just got my venitu too and am excited to start customizing him. He'll make an amazing V

 

@Prinsessen Thank you so much! and wow Jude looks AMAZING! I love what you've done with his face

 

So many beautiful Venitu! Here is mine, along with a friend of him:

 

Oh he looks so cool @Follow-the-Wind! He has a post-apocalyptic sort of vibe to him.

 

@Follow-the-Wind He's gorgeous! I love him and his friend

 

You guys post such cool boys I wanna share mine too
I'm constantly in love with him

 

@Mysha He's beautiful oh my goodness! The colour of his red hair is amazing

 

@kagami, thanks so much The color of his hair is enhanced by the red light and I love how it turned out.

 

Oh he looks gorgeous @Mysha - I love the lighting and the gorgeous colour of his hair.

 

@Quiet and Insane Thank you! Your comment makes me happy, because he does live in a post apocalyptic world
@kagami Thank you! ^_^

@Mysha This picture of your boy is absolutely gorgeous! He is in copper oriental skin?

 

@Quiet and Insane, thank you I love red on him
@Follow-the-Wind, thanks Yes, he is ^^

 

@Follow-the-Wind - Ooh how cool! I'd love to see more photos of him!
@Mysha - Red does look gorgeous with copper oriental.

 

@Quiet and Insane I thought I have shown the photoshoot I've made with him last august here, but in fact I've not.
So here a picture of him and a Black cherry Xiao Yu!

 

If anyone remembers- my Granado Zen (or Version3) jointed hands came in. While the joint itself fits great and the color match is pretty decent, they're simply too short They're missing nearly a cm. While the proportions work with his head, they don't work at all with his body. I wonder if Granado would agree to scale them up so they'd match... let me dream.

 

@meanae oh... Well, they're still very beautiful themselves...

 

@meanae
Aw, yeah. The 5th Motif body has such slender wrists! (Which I really love, but) definitely makes it hard to find a fit for both wrist and hand size!
It's something like ordering shoes with a wish and crossing all fingers and toes. (I totally do this)
Hopefully another of your dolls will love them?

 

Yeah the heands are really well made and even wired from the company, so they hold poses super well! Too bad that they don't fit.

 

Oh, that's so nice that they come wired!

 

@Follow-the-Wind - Oh wow! They look amazing! I love their outfits.

@meanae - Oh no! So close! What a bummer. Do you have another doll that could use those hands?

 

Somehow i missed the new thread, all these gorgeous boys, i've died and gone to Venitu heaven. So many dramatic looks, i love it!
I think i know who i need to work on next from my crew. and all the hand pics are inspiring me to blush mine too.

i've been plotting his look, and seems like none of my wigs are working out quite right. this is the best one, i like the colour, but the style is a bit softer than i wanted. this may push me into making my first tiny wig.
he looks mighty surprised here somehow... maybe he's not too pleased about those painted on leggings.
This is Riven.

 

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has heard any updates on the hand sets and default hands back from the order in January.

I purchased a set of in-stock default hands and then was told that they would be delayed as BJDivas was waiting on them to ship out together from Mr. Cho with the 8-pack hand sets.

I know BJDivas is swamped, so I'm just trying to see if anyone has heard news on them before repeating a question they might have already answered.

 

Hmmm. I don't know about in house hands but I received my hand set on 3/17! Was there another order?

 

@Mahgiep
Uh oh! I haven't heard anything at all about mine shipping, so I hope they aren't lost.

This was the order that included the last sets with the old resin colors.

 

I'd definitely ask!

 

@Mahgiep
Oh blargh...thank you so much!!! I was assuming that they were just super delayed due to Covid.

 

BJDivas is alone running the business and she moved I think in April. So I wouldn't be surprised if your order fell through the cracks but she will do her best I'm sure.

 

@Mahgiep
Yes, with covid and the updates from BJDivas I have just been being patient. Hehe. I thought of it today since BJDivas mentioned all the squished boxes they are receiving.

 

I am still waiting for my 8 hands set, but it has nothing with BJDivas to do as they'll be shipped directly to me from Korea. Instead, the fault is in Korean post. Mr. Cho has inquired the post several times and they just don't ship to Finland. Nope. They claim that there are no planes flying, but somehow post from Finland flies to Korea, and post from neighbour countries like China and Taiwan arrive here just fine, so do post from other companies like FedEx. So Korean post is a bit of a mystery to me. Maybe they just burn all Finnish planes that fly there, so nothing flies back? I was offered FedEx, but it costs 50 dollars extra, so now on I'll just stick to waiting.

Anyhow, I am grateful for Mr. Cho's patience and how he has kept the hands with him until they can be shipped. I hope that I can see my hands this year. And the way I see it, the world likely will not stay in quarantine state forever even though covid would stay around. Big companies and the economy would take too much damage, they already have, and capitalism just won't give up like that. Not that I support such ideal, I just don't have a better proposal for keeping the world rolling. If I did, I wouldn't probably sit here waiting for doll hands.

 

Ah, thank you @vauhtikatti
I was assuming it was just massive delay due to covid, so I hadn't asked before. I believe the default hands were supposed to go to BJDivas and then ship to customers from there, so a bit different than when I ordered the 8-hand set which came direct from Mr. Cho, as you say.
Well, I've sent a message now, so I will pass along what they say.

 

Not sure if anyone is looking for hightop sneakers for their 5th Motif guys, but thought I'd pass along that these Volks ones fit.
I had purchased them for another doll...but when they arrived they are massive! Haha, so tried them on my Venitu just to see and the fit is great.

Guess Victor has some new shoes?

My hands are in the mail too! BJDivas said that the delay was due to them moving and them being down to one person. I'm so excited for them to arrrriiiiiiiiiive. I got a shipping notice that they are delayed though. Ahhh well....being patient, being patient.
:: does patient dance ::

 

Victor got new haaaaaaaaaaaands.




(Uh, different new hands...lol, just saw my last post)

 

@Lady Ravenswood congrats and - omg that colors, posing, hands, literally everything! *fangirl sounds*

 

Oh gosh, those hands! This photo is everything, he's so divine!
