This was my first year of being able to participate in any of the DoA Anniversary contests, and man was it awesome! I had been eyeing that little grumpy face and had actually hoped I could get up to third. I really didn't expect to place in the top ten though, so I was very pleasantly surprised. I'm a little late getting my box opening up here, partly because life has been crazy busy and partly because I wanted to have a little time before I shared him. Since I got him through a contest here, I feel like in a little way he belongs to the community- I just happen to be his caretaker. I'm going to start a project journal for him and share my progress as his character develops and do my best to take plenty of pictures of him. (I don't think that will be hard!) He's tentatively named Kaldurin Silveroath. He's going to be a dwarf and probably an ambassador or something similar to all of my fairies. Anyway, on to the pictures!!! Basic shipping box... (though it looks like it was an exciting trip) Absolutely gorgeous Crobi box. Seriously gorgeous- it's pearly and shifts colors in the light... Goodies! I didn't really expect him to come with so much stuff! Agh!!! Look at that color! At this point my cat had to try to get into the box... Aaaand then I got distracted and forgot to take any pictures until..... Mr. Grumpy!!! His faceup is just so very pretty. It even has some gold pearl on it. At this point my cat realized there was a much better box for napping. After having a chance to play with him for awhile, I can say if anyone is thinking about adopting one of their little guys, do it! Even though his resin is dark, it's perfectly even, he has almost no seam lines, and he's really fun to pose. I feel so very, very lucky! Thanks again to Crobi and DoA!!!! I hope you all liked the pictures. Thanks for looking!
