Kanadoll Discussion

Apr 1, 2015

    1. Hello! I recently discovered Kanadoll, and thought I'd start a thread for her works. :)


      Kana is an artist working with Rosen Lied, and Kana Doll is her personal project. So far she is only making heads, and there have been three sculpts released, with one currently in production.

      The heads she's created so far are:




      Kana seems fairly active on her blog, tumblr, Instagram, and Twitter. She also has a Flickr account that she updates every now and again.

      Links:



      I ordered two Adrians in her recent ordering period and received them this past Saturday. :) Both NS and WS match well with Volks, and I've put my NS head on my Switch Humming Dolly 65cm body, but have ordered an Iplehouse body for my WS head. I don't know how the resin will match, and am hoping I don't have to do a lot of blushing to have them look good together!

      Is anybody else waiting on an Adrian, or have one of her previously released heads? What bodies are you using/looking to use for them?


      Here are my two Adrians, with not-very-good faceups by me. :sweat I'm still considering sending them out for faceups from someone who actually knows how to paint! They are twins, April (WS Adrian girl) & Paris (NS Adrian boy). April is shown on a Volks SD16 girl body which is a very good fit, though the body is NS.

    2. Great idea to start this thread :)
      And nice twins !! Your choice of bodies look really good !

      I also discovered Kana's work a few months ago !
      I was lucky enough to be able to order a Lune and Adrian, but missed on Len.
      She once told me that she planned on releasing them again (no dates though).

      I just received Adrian, so he's still blank, but I can show you my Lune :)
      He is on a Spiritdoll Elegant body, but I think both Lune and Adrian would be perfect for a 65cm body, as 60cm is a bit small.

      Here he is (click for bigger/better image) ^ ^ :

    3. Your Lune is a very cool guy! :D Do you have plans for what body you'll put your Adrian on? I look forward to seeing him painted! ^^
       
    4. Oh heeey, I just got my Adrian too :D Mine is gonna be on an Aprilstory body. Also your Lune looks really good, like kana actually painted it! o-o both your dolls are super gorgeous <3 And I like the faceups you gave them. I really like the top eyelid color. The gold on your twin boy's eyes are perf.
       
    5. Thank you ^ ^
      Well, I have a Loongsoul 68cm body ordered but in yellow normal skin so I doubt it will be a match for my NS Adrian which is pretty rosy. But if I like it size-wise, I may order another one in pink. Also I have some views on a Popo 68cm. Switch or Luts 65cm looks good too (and the match would be nice), if I found one affordable on the market ^ ^
      I'm sure it will look good on an April Story body too ! :)
       
    6. SugarBenki Thanks for your compliment on my boy's eyeshadow! XD I really liked the blushing I'd put down on both their heads, but I'm terrible at actual acrylics, and messed him up once I started painting. Darn shaky hands! :sweat I'll probably redo his faceup and try to get his eyebrows/eyelashes right soon!



      I did want to post to say I got my girl's new body in today! She has a WS Iplehouse SID body! The resin match is actually pretty good! Kanadoll resin is a bit more yellow-toned, which I expected, as it matches well with Volks. It's not terribly noticeable though, and only really showed up when I took some phone pics first thing. The regular-camera photos look better, IMO.

      I will have to do some sanding on the top of the neck though, as I did not realize Iplehouse necks get larger at the top instead of tapering?????? So while the body and neck size are a good scale for the head, it doesn't sit as well as it could, if the neck wasn't so weirdly huge right at the top. :doh

    7. Congrats [MENTION=2595]thesaraghina[/MENTION] !
      This hybrid definitely looks very good ! Can't wait until you make the mods on the neck ! I would have never considered in a million years an IP SID body for any SD heads because of the neck size, but if you manage it, then, that is certainly an awesome choice !!
       
    8. [MENTION=67507]Marlequeen[/MENTION] Thanks! :) And you know, I did a lot of shopping around for the right girl body - I was originally going to get a white Volks SD16, but I wanted a larger bust and most other comparable sized girl bodies with large busts have skinny necks! I'd found some measurements that told me the SID girl was similar to SD17/Switch 65, which was the size I was going for, and it is, mostly! Except for the weird top of the neck! XD I'd imagine some of the larger guy SD-sized heads could fit on the IH girl bodies pretty well, but I bet the IH guy bodies are all way too thick-necked for most hybrids. I'm just lucky I needed a bigger-scale girl body for my Adrian! ;D
       
    9. Kana's Boy Head are great!! However I am not good at take care boy doll so I didn't order her boy head.
      I am happy to konw that she is start making girl ^ ^
      I am looking forward for her Bambi ( both Senior and Holiday Ver. XD

      I do hope that Kana can provide make up service for her doll as her makeUp is so amazing.

      thesaraghinayour girl look good in the Iplehouse body. After you sand the neck, it will be a perfact match!!

       
    10. My Adrian on popodoll 68 body. :dance

    11. [MENTION=68400]PaiPai[/MENTION] Thank you! I'm glad I went with this body, it's very voluptuous! :XD: And I like Kana's senior Bambi a lot too, and am looking forward to seeing more of her! According to her Instagram, it looks like she's going to start working on her next week! She reminds me a little of Volks Luna. ^^

      [MENTION=47893]persona-S[/MENTION] Wow, he's so handsome! :love The body is a great match and scale, too. You should definitely share more of him! ;D
       
    12. Kanadoll Boy heads are just wonderful, I love their non adult look. Could anybody show a normal skin resin comparison with some other company?
      What about Dollstown oriental or April Story ns,would that match?
       
    13. I really love the look of her Adrians, and her photos of her sculpts are always so beautiful. I can't wait until her next order period, I'm so tempted to snag one of her lovely sculpts for myself!
       
    14. TatianaB your boy is really cool ^^ I'm impatient to paint mine !

      Need time !

    15. My Adrian is on Little monica Harmony Boy G Body
      resin match is great just that kanadoll resin is a very tiny bit more peach tone but I think it's quite not noticeable, so it perfect!
      neck circumference is fine too :)

    16. I don't know about April Story NS, but Dollstown/Dollshe Oriental skin is significantly yellower than(at least the brand new) Kanadoll NS (which is peachy).

      Congrats !!

      He is lovely, I definitely needes this body <3

      Good luck !! :)

      Here is my painted Adrian :

      Adrian all finished by marlequeen
       
    17. Thank You titytetee and Marlequeen for Your good advices. I will wait till I have my Adrian head in hand. He will receive a face up by the previous owner. Your boys are all sooo wonderful and so different. This mold is very versatile.
       
    18. How lovely !!
      /goes to Flickr to see more ^ ^

      you're welcome !
      He is very close to Switch color too !
       
    19. Marlequeen His eyebrow are awesome !!

      I painted my boy today but I'm not happy :( I will retry another day !

    20. @Youpla: WHAT? Why aren't you happy?! He's gorgeous!! LOLS. I love the little skin texture detail around his nose and cheeks!
      @Marlequeen: WOW!!!! I loooove him!! He looks so unique and somewhat fierce and mysterious at the same time, haha!! I love his eyebrows too! <3
      @titytetee: Awww, your Adrian looks so gentle and sweet. He's beautiful!!
      @persona-S: Your boy is so adorable!! I really like how his colors give him a soft and dreamy tone.
      @thesaraghina: Your Adrian girl is interesting! I would love to see more of her! She's beautiful!



      And here's mine. He's on a Normal Skin Switch HummingDolly's 65 cm body that I got towards the end of last year and like Marlequeen has mentioned, the skin tone is pretty close. I think the Switch resin color might be a teeny bit yellow, but not something you'll notice. I did blush my Adrian's head more peach so he'd match the Switch resin color.

    21. Well I don't know.. It's not what I want for him I suppose !

      Your boy looks cute bunny27 ! Another picture of this "little" boy ? ^^
       
    22. All these gorgeous Adrian's and I still don't have his body yet D; To the person who wanted the comparison with april story ns, I ordered the body and it is being shipped now and probably arrive this week, so I'll take comparison pics for you then~
       
    23. Wow!!! He looks beautiful!!! And he's got gorgeous body blushing too! He looks so ethereal~~~ great photography!!

      Btw, can you tell what skin type your Adrian head and LM body are? Thanks!! :love
       
    24. You guys Adrian are wonderful! it's remind me how much I love this sculpt :...(:aheartbea
      hope to see more pic of our gorgeous Adrian


      Thanks X ) , mine is normal skin both head and body
       
    25. Lovely twins ~ I absolutely love her works and will hopefully purchase one of her sculpts in the future.
       
    26. I do some resin comparison ^ ^
      switch and LM are good match!

    27. titytetee thanks for the interesting picture. Is it taken in daylight or artificial light?
       

    28. It's daylight : )
       
    29. Here is my Kanadoll Len, hes on a Dollfactory body which is paler than the head. It can be covered by a face-up though
      [​IMG]

      I really do hope Kana sells Adrian again, I missed the pre-order period. ; A;
       
    30. I got my beautiful Adrian head the other day :) I absolutely adore him, Kana's sculpts are incredible in person.

      Here is my Peter;
      [​IMG]
       
    31. Uhuh and you've got the one I missed :'( I hope for a new pre-order of Len too !!! (and I love your boys !!)

      Congrats !!
       

    32. Thank you~! >///A//<
      I think I saw something at Kana's Instagram that she will be re-releasing Adrian around next month "maybe" and I do hope that its not just Adrian.
       
    33. Does anyone know how Kana announces she's taking orders? I'm already following most of her social media (in a totally non-creepy but absolutely covetous manner).
       
    34. Usually I check her twitter and instagram however I find it's really hard to miss them so I would look up her naver blog from time to time. That's where she writes her rules for ordering.
      http://blog.naver.com/dreamerkana
       
    35. Thanks [MENTION=68934]reitsuki[/MENTION]! I'll keep an eye out :)
       
    36. [MENTION=64761]jesymphony[/MENTION] You're welcome. ^ ^
      I'm also stalking her hoping for Adrian's re-release. (If I may ask..) Who are you aiming for? ' v ' ?
       
    37. I'm hoping she releases her open eyed version of Adrian, though I'd be tempted by a regular version of Adrian too. There's just something about his sculpt I find so appealing, and of course all of the owner photos just made him look positively irresistible. Though who knows, I pretty much love all her sculpts and I may end up going home with someone different!
       
    38. [MENTION=64761]jesymphony[/MENTION] An open eyed Adrian is very interesting and I agree her sculpts look so promising. All the owner pics are amazing!! I am also tempted to get a Len but am scared of ending up with too many floating heads...
       
    39. Haha I have to be very careful not to spend all my money on doll heads. The only thing that stops me (well apart from my wallet, though it can usually be persuaded) is the thought of having all these beautiful dolls being mad at me for not having their own bodies!

      One of the major reasons I actually discovered Kana was because I'd been admiring [MENTION=43563]titytetee[/MENTION]'s Adrian ^^ Owner photos always get me.
       
    40. [MENTION=64761]jesymphony[/MENTION] ewww, thank you so much I'm happy that my baby bring you to know kana's dolls, her work are always impress and inspiring! Hope you'll get your in next order :daisy
       
    41. You take such lovely photos of Neal, I always love seeing new photos of him ^^ It reminds me to be patient and save up quickly :)
       
    42. I seriously need Adrian in my life! I hope she releases him again, I love her boy sculpts. Once she announces the pre-order period how do you order from he? Thanks!
       
    43. [MENTION=20199]nqa2nite[/MENTION] For ordering she will upload a order form and you just fill it out and send it to her via e-mail.
       
    44. Also if you need more pics just ask me and I'll try my best o- o;
       
    45. Thanks so much for the pics. Maybe with face up it is a better match, but I think, April NS resin is a little to intensive. Or is it better in normal daylight?
      Yes, body takes SD17 clothes.
       
    46. Yes, the April story color is a lot more intense. I guess it's more pinker? Adrian has a more real tone? Hard to explain D:
       
    47. Wow congrats!! He looks absolutely stunning qoq Looks so perf~<3
       
    48. ooooooh i so need an adrian in my life too. i read that she uploads an order form....where does she upload this? and alsp where is best to look to keep up to date when she is likely to open pre-orders? ^____^ hope someone can help ^__^
       
    49. [MENTION=64381]fantoose[/MENTION] She'll upload on her website in order section http://kanabykana.com
      also she announce it on her instagram @kana798 , I've got adrian's news from that!:)
       
    50. I love Adrian's head. Does anybody know what his neck size is?
      Farin, I love your boy's face up.
       
    51. I'm going to hold on to my pennies this time round I think - I'll wait until she opens orders for the Open Eyed Adrian.
       
    52. if kana released an open eyed version of adrian, i'd totally jump aboard that order too. but if i'm not mistaken (since i cannot read korean and have to rely on chrome's translator), that head was a personal one of kana's with custom open eyes. it's not certain if she ever intends to release an open eyed version. in fact, she probably didn't plan on a resale of adrian to begin with, just that orders were so overwhelming the first time round that the week-long preorder period was cut to just a day.
       
    53. Bother. Ah well, hopefully Kana's sales continue to go well so that one day she considers making Open Eyed Adrian an option! (Or Rosen Lied should carry her stuff as an SD line, a girl can hope!)
       
    54. [MENTION=66395]Lilla[/MENTION] Thanks so much. He is still on its way from Australia. Sooo slow.

      I will try to buy another Adrian head next order period and mod the eyes open. Would love to have twins.
       
    55. OH kanadoll. I really fall in love with LEN sculpt.
       
    56. Yeah, just ordered an Adrian head and already paid. Now there will be a twin with modded eyes. :)
       
    57. congrats, farin! i also ordered another adrian head. he is sold out now but it seems kana's going to open a 3rd sale in future? :O
