Hi there!! Wow it's been a long time! 8 years to be exact :S I've been out of the bjd hobby and community for a few years, but my love for all the art, photography and creativity of bjds hasnt faded. I'm hoping to get more active again with my own little resin characters as well as the community as a whole! \ ^7^/ A lot has changed since i was last here haha I'm still in Sydney but I'm now in my late 20's and work in the game industry as an illustration and concept artist! So my passion for all things art hasnt faded either ;D I'm not sure how many old faces are still here, but I'd be grateful to meet many new ones! It's nice to meet everyone!! I really need to revamp a lot of my dolls and take new photos! but here's one of my fave girls "Winter" she is a doll chateau bella
Welcome back! Can't wait to see more of your dolls! Your doll looks cute in the pic you shared! I'm also working as an illustrator/designer. Used to be an animator/character designer, it's kinda cool to find someone in a similar industry with the same hobby~
Welcome back! Looks like we have a similar gap in our hobby, I was out for about 8 years too and came back about 6 or 7 months ago now. I haven't had a lot of time to get really back into photography with my dolls much yet, but I hope to soon. If we can find someone to fill in the empty position we have at work so I'm not trying to be 4 people at once...
Thanks so much for the welcome back Kasuouh!! and for the kind words! Oh thats so cool!! heh I'd say there's a lot of us in the community in such a creative hobby! Illustration is a big plus for the hobby in my opinion cause you get to doodle your characters and new outfit ideas :3 Oh wow!! I noticed a few people have left and returned around the same time line, i wonder why that is? maybe just life haha! xD Thank you for the welcome back! welcome back too! I hope you've been having fun getting back into everything!! I hope you get that time soon for new photos and your work gets sorted! that sounds stressful! D: hang in there!! hehe indeed it does!! Thank you!! I'm really glad to be back, it's so fun re-discovering everything again!
You're welcome~ and yes you are correct! I've been editing/painting over my doll's faces just to give them a variety of expressions for photostories, so I totally agree! Illustration skills are quite useful~ hahahah
