Hello all!

Heyhey! I'm Artsy. Just a guy in my mid 20s

I found this place over a decade ago when I was first interested in BJDs. I was a bit too intimidated by the language barrier though, as english is not my first language, and so I didn't end up joining at the time.

I got into the hobby again last year, after seeing all the cute dollies on tumblr. I got a couple of the off-topic blind box dolls, but they just made me want the real thing more. With now adult money (and after a bunch of research) I finally took the dive and ordered my first proper doll! I can't wait for him to come home. He's a 1/4 scale Telesthesia Du Xiaoju and will be made into one of the two characters that started my whole BJD obsession- Gakupo from "A doll's voice" song (the second character is Chii from chobits! Or rather, the persocoms in general. I'd love to make a persocom doll in the future!)


Besides dolls I also like furbys (got two!), doing different crafts like crocheting, drawing, sewing, lace making, woodcarving... -I'm not that good at them, but like doing them either way- and gardening

 

Oh wow, that photoshoot is amazing! And thank you, I'm happy to funally be here

 

It was also the first anime I ever watched! Back when you could still find the entire episodes on youtube lol
I can't wait to do fun doll projects, the four-ish months before he arrives is a lot>_<

 

I might show them off, they're pretty heavily customised which has been fun some of them I got bodies-only and then made them custom heads and wigs!

For the persocom doll, it'll have to wait a little bit more since I prefer to work on them one at a time, but they'll definetly come

Do you think I can make a WIP board before my doll comes? I plan to make some underwear and a pretty robe before that so he wouldn't be naked, so I could probably post that.

 

@Jareth I love Chii I don't really have a favourite outfit, but I do think that the more puffy the dress, the betteralthough her first outfit will probably be the shirt... at least while I figure out how to sew everything else!

She's on my "most beloved character" list, same as Gakupo, which means I'll 100% have her sooner or later, but also that I'm really picky because she has to be perfect! So it might take some time before I find and buy exactly what I'm looking for

 

Oh neat, thanks!
