Rosen garden SD heads-(Cato,Lovis,ext)

I'm thankful there's a thread now for these lovely boys.

I didn't get Cato when he was available, but I was able to nab Lovis during his preorder. I'm kind of sad that Lovis isn't being shipped as well, but when he arrives, I plan to make him my guy, Tahmos', estranged twin brother. I'm hoping he'll work on my spare Loongsoul 68cm boy body when he arrives.

I just love me those elf ears of his. So nicely sculpted.

 

I love those heads. I have a Rosen Garden Rui head and he is away right now getting a wig made. I really want to get a Lovis one day too.

 

It was like that for me too. I found out about Rosen Garden through a link somebody posted here on DOA about elf ear sculpts regarding Cato. I'd really liked him, but would've felt bad about removing the fangs if I got him. I was so thrilled when Lovis was then introduced with a very similar face and set of ears, and I knew I couldn't pass him up. He's not supposed to be done until the end of this month from what I've been told, but I'm feeling impatient. I hope he arrives sooner rather than later!

Hope you can work some way into your schedule to go pick him up. Be sure to post photos once he arrives. I'd love to see some owner pictures

 

Oh, hi! :: waves :: Wandered over here from the Facebook post.
I got my Artemis head yesterday. (He was stuck in NY for ages too...)

My hope is to make him into Otabek to join my Yuri on Ice!!! crew. But I'm a bit on the fence if he is too big to go with my Yurio. The only bodies I have available to try him on right now are waaaaaaay too tall.

 

Has anyone painted their Cato head yet? I have had mine awhile thinking of what to do... I think I'll start on him in a few days! I bought him on a whim (love at first sight haha) So I didn't have a character in mind when I got him (like I usually do lol) I guess I am just gonna wing it and see what he becomes! I'll post pics in case anyone is interested! I also bought that IOS body because it looks so good! so thank you for posting those pics @Nieomy !!

 

oh that sounds awesome!! I can't wait to see him! I decided to paint an undercut around his head and I purchased 2 wigs, a short silver wig, and a red one. I'll see which one suits him best when they arrive! This was my first time doing an undercut on a faceup here is my progress so far:



I still want to add a few silver hairs for depth, but I like it so far!

 

That undercut looks fabulous so far.

I'm still waiting on news for shipping on my Lovis, and I'm hoping he'll look okay on the recently vacated 68cm Loongsoul boy body I've got. Anyone waiting on Lovis got any shipping notifications thus far?

 

here are some WIP pics of the faceup I am doing on my Cato! I think he is looking lovely



Bonus pic of me trying a fur wig on him for fun xD (his actual wigs haven't arrived yet!)

 

Finished his faceup!! I love him~!!!
I can't wait to finish the layaway on his body and for his other wigs to arrive~ it'll probably be a few months before he will be whole >o< but I am happy to see him slowly coming together! Now I have lots of time to think of a name for him xD

 

Bumping this! I scored a Lovis head when Rosen Garden had a few heads left after the pre-orders filled, and I just snagged a Cato secondhand Grumpy elf/goblin princes abound!

I'm going to send Lovis to AngelToast for a spa day, not sure what I'll do with Cato yet. But they both have bodies I'm pretty happy with! Lovis fit perfectly on Dollshe Pure body, and Cato looks surprisingly good on Impldoll Star SD male body. Pics below:

Congrats! I also snagged a Lovis head when there were a few leftovers! Haven't decided what to do with him yet. He's hanging out blank on an older Angelsdoll body and the fit seems good

I'm excited to see how your Lovis turns out!

 

congrats @emac !! My Cato is still without a body ToT I paid him off months ago so I am just waiting for it to be shipped! I messaged BJDivas last week about it since its been 6 months since my order was placed but they haven't gotten back to me yet ToT I hope he will be shipped soon~

 

Hi. Did you try the head on a 60cm body ? I'm curious to see if it would work with that.

 

Any particular 60cm body you were looking for? I really don't have many sub-65cm bodies, but I have a Dollzone B60-005 and both Iplehouse old YID and nYID bodies if you'd like me to try them.

 

Yes. If you have the time. I wasnt sure what size the body was in your pic. If you don't have the time no worries. I'm just trying to see if the head would look ok on that smaller body. Even just your thought would be appreciated if you can't get pics but are able to try it out

 

Ok! The body he was on in the other pics is a 70cm body, it’s the Dollshe Pure body. Getting some other pics now.

 

Flickr app is being dumb so I don’t know if they’re all in here, but there are pics of Cato on 3 different sub-70cm bodies in here. Overalls body is an Iplehouse oldYID, navy jacket/tan shirt is a Dollzone B60-005, and (in the older pics) the black/white sweater is an Impldoll Star Idol (I think?) body. For comparisons, the tallest body is the Dollshe Pure.

I think the neck and shoulders are what’s important to look at here — IMO the two shortest bodies just don’t have a thick enough neck or wide enough shoulders to support the size of the Cato (and therefore Lovis) head.

Wow. Thanks so much. That's really helpful. I agree,. I think the head needs a thicker neck and wider shoulders. I love seeing your work/craft space. It looks some neat and tidy. I want to do something similar one day but usually just end up using the kitchen table.
really appreciate the time and effort.

 

Oh my I just discovered these beautiful sculpts. Why oh why am I always late to finding out about individual artists

I guess I will just have to find one secondhand. In the meantime I will stare at all your boys!

 

Is there anyone, who has Erasmus head at home ? This head came to me in January

 

@Kya Sutcliff : I actually do! He's so gorgeous in person! Mine is still blank, though, as I decide how I want to paint him~

 

Mine is also blank, Im glad, that im not alone I love this sculpt. Do you have a body for him? I still don't know which body to buy him

 

I don't, but I've got him chilling on an Impldoll FGB body I own! Color wise, he's a good match for impl realskin. I bet he'd look amazing on that new male body they are developing!

I need to do some headswaps with my other bodies but just haven't had a chance, lol. /o\

 

I was just looking at Alices Collections and this body from Impldoll has a neck diameter of 12,5cm. Erasmus head needs 13cm.
Does it fit him well?
