Little Rebel Doll Discussion

Apr 8, 2011

    1. Company website: http://littlerebel.net/

      Insomnia doll is a new brand by a Spanish artist - and a member of our very own forum - 'Gothland'. I've been watching her work on Flickr for awhile and I really love it!
      Some BJDs produced by artists outside of Asia, while very lovely in their own right, I find have a slightly different style or 'feel' to those produced by asain artists (it's hard to explain it!), but think I think she's really captured the spirit of asain bjd with her dolls.

      Her first head is Shinji. There are few heads available pre-cast but if the response is good she says will start a pre-order. They are produced by Dollshe in their colours so we know the quality will be good, but I don't know if the slow down dollshe ahs been havbing with their own dolls will affect a preorder?

      I hope to order Shinji, and there's also work in progress photos of another head, Ciel, on the Insomnia doll flickr. I don't know if he will be cast for sale. Fingers crossed he will!
       
    2. Shinji is lovely. I like the way the artist has done his mouth. Does she have plans for girl dolls?
       
    3. I will be watching this thread for more updates! Glad to see our very own members making wonderful dolls!
       
    4. I think Shinji would be a good girl too! If I could buy one, I would make him as a girl. That mouth is wonderful.

      Kat is good making awesome asian boys, but I'm sure she can make good girls too. I hope she can release more heads in the future ^^
       
    5. Hooray, she's finally releasing Shinji! :cheer unfortunately I'm broke :( Will Shinji only be available for a limited time or can we order this mold on certain periods?
       
    6. I'm trying SO hard not to order Shinji right now! Ugh, don't really have the money for him but omg :aheartbea love!!
       
    7. Hi!!
      Thank you so much for all the nice comments! I'm totally surprised about the great response that Shinji has received.
      I've received a lot of orders and I'm afraid I won't have enough heads in stock ;_; I'm going to order more reproductions to Dollshe now but probably they will take about two months to be ready for sale again ><
       
    8. Sweet! Gothland has exquisite taste in dolls, so it's wonderful to see that distilled into her own sculpt! Also love that he's cast by Dollshe so we know exactly what the resin will match. I hope there will be preorders later in the year. :3

    9. I'm really happy Gothland has started to make her own sculpts, I really love her work. <3 The sculpts are a little too young-looking for me for the moment but I think they're great! I'm not surprised at all they are already sold out. ^^
       
    10. Always happy to hear about one of our own getting into the business! Shinji is very nice - he has a very soft look to him.
       
    11. Lol I'm in the exact same situation as you Galifrey ^^'' Ahh he's so tempting...But now I'm a little scared, are really all of the heads already sold out? Argh I knew I should have ordered him earlier today....:(
       
    12. Good, now I have time to save for him for the next sale!
       
    13. oooooooh!! I love him! He is too cute, I just love his little jowls (sp-???). I've been looking forward to a single-artist to put out a sculpt I love and I've finally found it. I'll have to bookmark Gothland's website and hope I catch the next ordering time. :D
       
    14. I really like the Shinji sculpt. I just love his mouth. :) If I had the extra money I'd get one asap. What other companies match the oriental skin tone?
       
    15. A quick search in the Picture Request thread says it may be close to Volks Normal.

      Does anyone know how long Gothland will be accepting pre-orders? The more I look at Shinji the more I really must have him. A back story started forming the second time I looked at him and he is telling me to buy!! lol
       
    16. I saw Volks, but was wondering if there were any others. What about Luts? I noticed one of the Shinji heads was on a Luts body.
       
    17. I have fallen in love with that 'pout'..... such an interesting and wonderful sculpt..... I have placed my order and am very excited about getting my hands on and doing a face-up! I may make Shinji a girl!!

      xen
       
    18. thank you so much! reading all your comments makes me really happy :D

      I'm accepting pre-orders but the problem is that I don't know yet when the next batch of heads will be ready. Anyway, If you prefer not to do pre-order, there will be some more heads in stock for sale in a few months.
      thank you : )


      I'm going to take comparison photos with different bodies as soon as I can. I will post the pictures here, in my website and in my flickr. Thank you ~
       
    19. I've took some comparison photos with different boy bodies. I will update with more pictures when I have them.
      Thank you ^^
       
    20. Thank you so much Gothland. The pictures really help. I like the DollNDoll bodies so that might be a good option for Shinji once I can get one. Thanks!!
       
    21. Thanks so much for the comparison photos Gothland..:)..I was hoping to see what the Dollstown Oriental skin looked like, and it looks perfect!!! I have DT Oriental bodies!!... I'm all set :D

      I can't stop staring at Shinji.....I love this face :aheartbea

      Hope you don't mind me 'borrowing' one of your pics.....I just have to keep looking at him......

      [​IMG]
       
    22. Shinji is so lovely! I had seen pics of him in progress, so I am happy to finally see him in all his glory! :)
       
    23. I found this wonderous being on flickr and emailed Gothland instantly to beg for one. I love the eyes, nose, mouth. He reminds me just a tad of Hyper Dong Ha. I was lucky enough to be permitted to own one. I can't wait till he arrives!
       
    24. Thank you so much for commenting here! I'm eager to see the first Shinji heads around the world! :aheartbea:aheartbea:aheartbea

      I'm going to ship some heads today and I hope the arrive quick to their new owners. This is very exciting for me because he is my first doll!!
       
    25. I hope to get a Shinji but doll purchases have to wait until after May. I hope he is still offered later on!
       
    26. There is an oriental skin Shinji on his way here!!!!!!! We'll see how long US customs decides to detain him. *_*

      I'm seriously ecstatic ... wondering what I'll do about a faceup, so I'm looking forward to seeing what others do! His just seems a sculpt that is very versatile. I have a headless Volks body here, so at least he'll have temporary if not permanent accommodations.
       
    27. Oh, man!, another temptation. :lol:

      Very nice, Gothland; the different face-ups gave him/her (yup, Shinji as a girl) quite different vibes.
      I've got a feeling that soon or later I'll give up resisting and order, especially if I keep looking at the one by Sakuli.

      Good that Shinji is not limited for now, need to move out first.
       
    28. My Shinji is in customs at JFK....so now the wait...they should release him soon. I may even have him by Saturday or Monday!
       
    29. [​IMG]

      Another pictures of my Shinji ^^
      I hope some more shinji heads will be delivered in the next week. I'm impatient to see pictures of them with different face up! :D
       
    30. Oh you are killing me! I want a Shinji so bad!
      First I have to finish saving for vacation, then go on vacation, then come back THEN I can buy dolls. ;__;
      I am so looking forward to painting this guy!
       
    31. My Shinji arrived today! It only took him 10 days in transit ... I was expecting much longer with US Customs. I feel badly putting him up here without a faceup, but Gothland insisted even without the faceup I should. It's going to be a while before I can line up someone, so until then ...

      [​IMG]

      Here with 16mm DropRops (these won't be permanent ... Drops tend to have a comparatively, slightly smaller iris) and a Leeke 8/9 wig (perfect fit).

      Also, I put up some body proportion, neck/head joint and resin comparison pix between a Demon Garden and Volks SD13 body. (This guy is in oriental skin.)

      I think this guy is fabulous. Love him! Gothland, thanks with many superlatives tacked on. You rock!
       
    32. Yay.....Congrats FairEmma! Your Shinji is wonderful even without a face-up!! I love that wig too! :D

      My Shinji is probably sitting at our local postal centre! It was a holiday here Friday and Monday/Tuesday next week too, so no post until Wednesday....gahhhh :doh.... I can't wait! *_*

      Gothland, thanks for posting another pic of your Shinji, he's awesome....those lips are to die for!! :aheartbea
       
    33. Thank you so much! I'm very happy to see one of my little boys in a new home!! :aheartbea this is like a dream for me.

      Thanks for all your support!!!
       
    34. YAY!!....I knew he would arrive today :fangirl:.....I love him :aheartbea Thank you so much Gothland for letting me adopt this amazing sculpt :D
      The resin is silky and smooth....the Oriental skin matches my Dollstown Oriental bodies I have....and...I simply love the head-cap system you have made...yay for no magnets :fangirl:

      I will try to do a face-up today if I get the time! I don't want to rush this one...it's very special.... :aheartbea

      I have to think of a wonderful name too ?????.....

      I'm so happy :fangirl:

      xen :)
       
    35. I can't wait to see Shinji with one of your face-ups, xen! I love your work and stalk your gallery threads secretly :lol: especially your Lusion ones!
      Shinji just keeps on intruding my doll plans....
       
    36. (I've just come back from a short trip and I found that great surprise! :D) I'm amazed at how different she looks. It's wonderful how you have given Shinji your unique style! I love it!!!!

      I'm so happy :aheartbea it's magic every time I see pictures of one of my heads customized by another person. Thanks for sharing pictures!

      I opened a Database for Shinji ^////^ http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?443922
      I hope you all join!
       
    37. I hope I'm not out of place saying this, but the sculpt totally reminds me of a star I like of the same name. Gorgeous.
       
    38. Mine is coming home soon from having a face up by Cristy Stone, can not wait! As soon as he is home, I will post here.
       
    39. Mancuso: really?? xDD now I really want to see him!

      grael: I hope your Shinji arrives soon! I'm really excited to see him/her with face up done by Cristy Stone :D
       
    40. His name is Shinji, of course, and he's a model for KO company. A google search ought to do it. ^_^ It's definitely a likeness, and that's a compliment. <3
       
    41. I searched for him in google and now I can understand why you say that they look like! xDDD
      (wow, that boy really have a big mouth too... he looks like a doll!)
       
    42. Gothland, I finally picked Shinji up at the post office where he was waiting all week for me! He's gorgeous -- I couldn't wait to give him his faceup so did it in the fading light, and the photo is FLASH, but I still think he looks gorgeous. I had to try him in pale eyes like you have in your first photo. I'm in love! Thank you so much!

    43. mojomaca, thank you so much for sharing a picture with us! you made me happy today :D I'm glad you like your shinji!
      (you really have talent if you can do that beautiful faceup in the fading light!!)
       
    44. Yesss - my lovely boyhead is here! Shinji in fresh skin:
      I have him posing on a 5stardoll tiny body in white skin... I need to get him his own body - preferably in SD size.... Any suggestions?
      And what do you think of this resin match?
       
    45. I received the body for my Shinji today. This is the 5stardoll Super (60 cm) body in White Skin. The head is Freshskin. I'm happy with the match - the proportions are ok and the resin match is pretty good too. I would have liked a less muscular body, but for 216 dollars including the shippingcosts this is much better for my wallet. Now he only needs to be dressed...

      While teaching myself how to use a sewing machine and how to make clothes/ clothing patterns, I made Shinji this outfit. :) He also got a new wig (by Akasarushi) in a dark brown. I have been 'playing' with him all week. Next step: a coat, socks and a cape or something. And something on his head.
      And if anyone has an idea for shoes for him (his feet are 7,5 cm long) I would love to hear it!
       
    47. Cyador, that outfit is pretty impressive! (and you are teaching yourself??) it seems very well done. Shinji must be very happy with you :D
      thanks for sharing pictures! I love to see them!!

      I'm at a friend's house now and she has got some 5stardoll white skin old type bodies, and you were right! the color match looks good with fresh skin (just slightly less pink than the head) ^^ I will try to take some photos.
       
    48. Thank you :). The shirt turned out very well, the vest could use some improvement under the arms and the pants are ok. I want different pants for him though - I'm trying to deside if I should buy a pattern and try either the watson pants, or the pants and coat from this one - or just keep trying and use my present pattern as a sloper and devellop something by myself. The nice thing about the pattern is that it will most likely teach me the techniques to do them too.

      My friend Nanyalin painted one Shinji :D and I think she did an awesome job! I wanted to share a picture here with all of you ^^
      This one looks totally different from my own Shinji but I love it :aheartbea
       
    50. Wow! His eyes and mouth turned out very well!
       
    51. wow they are all amazing :lol:
       
    52. At last at last ... bet you thought I forgot!!?? I received him at the end of last week, back from his faceup by Lilykoi (enigmadoll, who saw him just as I did)!

      [​IMG]

      He's one of the first six from waaaay back ;), oriental skin, and he's on a Demon Garden pink-normal body. Perfect resin match ... though his face looks darker because of the blushing.

      I am so mad for this boy. Thank you many times over, Gothland!! (Now, when's the next beauty??? ;))
       
    53. Wow FairEmma - that is really a beautiful face-up!
       
    54. FairEmma, I'm so happy to see your Shinji with face up (at last xD)!! He is so cute <3 thanks for sharing pictures!
      It still surprises me how different all the Shinji heads are and I really love to see them.

      Now that I'm back home and that I received the materials I needed, I'm going to start to work again on the new heads (Seven and Ciel), and I'd like to release at least one of them in January-February if possible ^^
       
    55. I really love seeing your design come to life, I can't wait to see your new heads next year!
       
    56. I want to share a picture of my "new" Shinji (I have 2 heads) ^v^
      He has a face up done by Belladonna and his wig is from KarmaCat.
      I hope you like him!

      [​IMG]
       
    57. Wow I like the last two face-ups here :) - for my curiosity: which bodies did you two chose for them?
       
    58. These faceup's are stunning! I'm wondering what body was used as well.
