What a little hunky fox But they don't have a body to go with these heads? Looking forward to seeing them when they come in I'm on a dolly diet, but I can look, right?

 

@GreenTeaSlug
oop. my message was half erased.....
I mostly have iplehouse. so I'm interested. I asked them about the Amber Beige matching with Real skin. I think it looks really good on the shots, but experience has taught me it's better to ask cause pictures do not always show how doll skin really is.

It's always fun to know who they are sculpting the dolls from. Jude Law. That's cool.

Updated: Just saw on their website linked from this thread that it will match Iple's Real skin, Dollshe cooper and Soom Tawny. So that answers my question. hmmm. I think the beard on the head will mask if the shades are a little off.


@IngieBee

It's only the heads or ourfits they are selling. They are filling the need for heads that some collectors would like in the market. I think it's a good call.

 

@GreenTeaSlug - Oh thanks for starting this thread!

And I didn't know any of the origin for Jude's design. How interesting!

I ordered the Francis Set, shirt and a blank Jude head in NS. And now like you want the Brave outfit also. I'm also smitten with the Brave faceup now too...but we shall see.

I am not sure what body he will use...I like the faraway look of him on the EID but maybe not how the neck fits...but I have a couple other options to try. I was wondering how he would look on the Dollshe bodies too. And I'm glad you reminded me of the Dollstown 18 boy as I have one of those too. I got the Jude head blank because I thought he would be a nice faceup project. I need practice.

I'm curious how the Francis outfit will fit...as it says both EID and SID...and Dollshe 28 Classic bodies.

Edited to add:
Now that I'm thinking about it...I wonder how their turnaround time for the resin heads will be.

 

That's another question I still need to see answered by owners pictures when the outfit arrives, I guess. EID and SID are very different size dolls. Even between superhero and model bodies in EID there's a differences.

The Braveheart, they have stated EID size, so we know it for sure fits that body. The outfit looks awesome in that body.

 

Yes, outfit size will be interesting. Since I have several dolls that can fit it either way...I'll have to wait and see who will get to try it on first. LOL
I really want the Brave outfit....and I"m realizing how starved I am for these types of outfits...now that Iple stopped making them so frequently.

And I looked at my order and I was "smart" enough to order the clothes and resin separately (since shipping was free) just in case the resin takes longer to produce. Go me.

 

I don't see where they say the neck size for the head?

 

Rhonda,

I already possess the SID LE of Giorgio's Opera outfit that reminds me so much of the Francis outfit. Actually I have two sets. So I will pass for the moment on it since I would want the head for a SID. But Brave heart. that's temptation.

Good thinking getting the resin head separate from the outfit.


@IngieBee

Not sure I have seen a number/size for it. I was basing my words on sight and what I do know of iple's bodies. Can't say the same for Dollshee or the others.

 

I ordered just a head. The moment I saw SDink post a teaser of him on her Instagram I was smitten. I was originally going to get an Iplehouse Dexter for my Vagabond character, but Jude is just so perfect!

From the photos I've seen so far, he looks like the bodies he's been tried on are just EID, SID, and DollShe 28M Classic. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that he might not fit on the current offerings of Granado bodies as Granado heads are not compatible with Iplehouse of Dollshe bodies. It's something I'll be sure to check once mine arrives home. I hope the wait isn't too long.

 

I am not sure if it's widely know but J Pearson is formerly an artist FROM Iplehouse. I am not sure who all is with Sartoria J, but it should be able to be logiced out that this is where some of the former IP ppl went. Just saying. also Zako Zako (did Jude's face up design) is ALSO formerly of IP. Just in case you (no one in particular in mind) didn't know. This is why they seem so similar in fashion design and now sculpts... and also it seems they are working on filling the want for 'heads' niche that are compatible with some of the less 'compatible' dolls... Some day I may grab the guts to ask some questions about who did what at IP. lol

They also tend to work with dolls (bodies) they own and or are commissioned to make stuff for.

 

We got some heads coming so it's something exciting to look for. I do believe I will be ordering one as well.

I didn't know J Pearson was an face up artist from Iplehouse . Tho from the costumes I figure they use to work there.

Did Zako Zako do the Braveheart?

 

Oh I didn't know that either. Fascinating how all these creators are interlinked.

 

Interview with SartoriaJ - provides some interesting information and history
My Dolly Adventures: Interview with SartoriaJ

 

OH yeah, I forgot about the Giorgio's Opera outfit! That was just an awesome outfit.

@GreenTeaSlug - No, I haven't seen the movie (yet)...I will have to check it out now for sure. I loved Jude Law in The Talented Mr. Ripely.

 

@LaurieESW

Thank you so much for that enlightening article. I enjoyed reading about my favorite new shops and their artist beginnings.




@GreenTeaSlug

Wow. What a gorgeous shot of him. He does look amazing as a blond. Reminds me a little of the main singer from Poison when he was younger. Brett Micheals I think that's his name. Thank you for the link.
Yes. Iple did some amazing outfits. The Opera's ones were wonderful. I love STella's Carmen version of it as well. Fantastic artistry and concept. Carved Heritage knocked it out of the park. I love Lawrence. They seriously have had wonderful themes, from the Noctarcana Circus to the Carved Heritage. Got to admit seeing that sparkle back with the Greek Theme popping up know.


Rhonda,

I bet you have it. LOL.

 

@LaurieESW I so need a 'reader' for stuff I will have to save that for later... i had no idea this was out there.

and Zako posted a head he/she did... i did not know 'which' Jude it was... just Jude. Oh and when i say artist it could me face up, sculpt or fashion :P and I think JP does it all LOL.

 

SDink's work has always been amazing, and I think Jude is great as a blonde. Thank you so much for posting that @GreenTeaSlug. (It would have taken me forever to try and figure out where I put my Instagram password.....)

And, thank you @Lady Tiku for the information about the artists. I too adore the outfits/ weapons from Carved Heritage, Addiction, and special Edition Giorgio.

 

@LaurieESW - Ooh thank you, that was a very interesting read!

@GreenTeaSlug - I picked Warm Ivory as it looks very close to Iplehouse Normal. I still intend on getting an EID Dexter to use as one of his alter egos. I can't pass up that grumpy face. Now that you mention it, he really does look like Rex and Black Pearl's love child. Perfect!

 

@GreenTeaSlug

Thank you so much for the link. Very nice.

hmmm Does anybody know how long SartoriaJ will take to answer pm's?

I wrote them a week ago about some questions I had about Jude and so far no answer.

 

Thank you so much. Yes. It would make sense.

Thank you for the advise to use the email.

 

Oooh I love the darker face up on this version. Pity mine is supposed to be a dorky gamer dad in his late 30's. Perhaps I can still use that as inspiration for his alter ego.

 

That head is really tempting! The skintone in the Brave Heart edition, is that Amber Beige?

 

Thank you, @GreenTeaSlug ! It looks lovely! If only finding a body for that skintone would be easier! Since Iplehouse doesn´t sell the bodies separately, only Dollshe seems to be fitting - hooray for years of waiting

 

@GreenTeaSlug Thanks for all the advice!
Dollstown is not an option, I had bad experiences with them in the past and won´t order there. Also not a friend of that body.

I read here that Granado is not compatible with Iplehouse or Dollshe regarding the neck.

Dollshe would probably be the choice in the end ... I have to think about this a bit more!

 

I have ordered Jude Braveheart in Amber. Luckily, I bought Adonis last year and EID Drake, so have two body options.

I thought that Jude looked like a less intense version of Rex! And am glad that this sculptor is at SartoriaJ now as Rex is my favorite IH sculpt and I haven’t seen a sculpt I liked as well from IH for the last couple of years.

 

Well...uh...my Jude head was shipped today. The only other company with a turnaround time that that is Iplehouse. I cannot wait to see him!!

 

@Quiet and Insane, that is great! Can’t wait to see him.

 

@Quiet and Insane - Dang! Shipped already!? That's great news!
I'm guessing you got him blank eh?

 

@Quiet and Insane - Yeah. that was super quick. A great turn around. I couldn't see where you posted if you got a face up with him or not. Would you mind telling me what skin color you chose? Thank you.

Congrats.

 

I checked my order for a NS blank Jude head and no shipping notice for me yet even though I ordered earlier by over a week...I'm wondering if they are combining the clothes I ordered separately?

 

@mysticaldolldreams - Neither can I! Though how long it will take him to get through the crush of Xmas mail is another matter entirely...

@luluna - Yes blank, with no additional clothing. It's possible they my combine your orders...would save on packaging, and they'll probably refund part of the shipping fee. Maybe. I'm just sort of guessing at this stage.

@Bren - He's blank and in warm ivory skin tone. Now I have to figure out who I want to do his face up. Normally I'd do my own, but he needs a level of realism that I just don't have the skills to do. I'm much more adept at painting fantasy creatures.

 

@Quiet and Insane

Thank you so much for answering my question. It's always exciting when a new doll comes in even when it's only a head. How great is that you can do your own face ups with Fantasy creatures. Good luck in finding the right person to bring your vision to life. That is always an exciting part as well.

 

Exciting news my way too. I ordered Jude with a faceup. I received a note from SartoriaJ that they may be able to send my guy out next week. Talk about quick service!

 

OH MY That's is quick and also exciting. I too would be doing the happy dance.

I can't wait to see yours. Mine is also amber with braveheart face up so I can't wait.

 

@GreenTeaSlug

Thank you so much for that link. He does look great in that picture. Loved seeing the amber beige color with no face up.

I do love Luo as it's obvious by my avatar. hee, hee. I own both EID and SID bodies he can share. But most likely I will put him in the SID body because I feel the head sits best on the neck in my opinion. Of course. I may change my mind. Wont know for certain until he is here and I can play with him.

 

@Bren - Absolutely! I have a lot of floating heads (most share bodies because I try to save space when I can), but no matter what it is, I always get excited when a doll related parcel arrives. I've got a few different artists in mind, it just depends on who is willing to take commissions from Australia, and who is open at the moment given that it's winter in the northern hemisphere. I'll be doing the face up on his second head (future IH Dexter) though, as that one will be face paint in block colours. A design I've done on myself many times doing cosplay. Then there's a very special jacket I need to commission to replicate one of mine.

@mysticaldolldreams - Ooh fantastic!

 

@GreenTeaSlug

@mysticaldolldreams I love the Adonis Mystic body! I think he might look good and young on that body so even if you decide against using that body, if you have the time I would love to see that hybrid[/QUOTE]

Will see what I can do.

@Bren. Hopefully your guy gets here soon too so we can happy dance together!

@Quiet and Insane.

 

Hello!
I am waiting for Jude head, after he was my guest for eyes commission and review)
It is love from first glance )
/threads/sartoriaj-jude-head-review-and-hybrids.793885/

 

@GreenTeaSlug

Keep it up. Personally I'm very thankful for all the links and information you have provided us. You were very helpful in providing information that I needed to know.

This last link it's perfect. Thank you. You can see really well what will work with him and what will not.


@Quiet and Insane

I can't say I do too well with floating heads. They tend to want their own body and they don't want to share.

Ahhhh Mr Dexter. I call him mister grumpy. He's one of my floating heads. My guy face up is a little bit like Baron and Jude's.
And I do hear you about finding who may be available for a face up. Got to go with GreenTeaSlug in asking what do you mean by block colors? Kind of like Wallace in braveheart??


@mysticaldolldreams

Oh yeah. WE'll go a round or two.


@Reinameron

Thanks for the picture and link. Heading to take a peek.

 

So I've had a mystery parcel waiting for me at the post office since Monday and I only just got to pick it up today (I say mystery parcel because the handwritten tracking number was utterly illegible)...it was my Jude! Good lord he's gorgeous. And the eyes he came with are incredibly tiny and very, very nice. Pity he needs something a little more baby blue. Excuse the craptastic photo and the wonky eyes. I'll take a better one and do some of my own body comparisons at some point when I'm not crazy busy.

@GreenTeaSlug & @Bren - This is what I mean when I say block colours. Less Braveheart and more Grand Theft Auto. The second image is the jacket I'll be needing to get custom made for him.

Spoiler: Open for face paint and jacket

@Reinameron - Fantastic review, thank you for sharing!

 

ahh Got it. Pretty cool face up.

As for the Jacket, Robyn from Period Threads does an amazing job at doing commissions. You may want to ask her if she can help you out. She's great to work with and super nice.

 

Yes! So that will be for Dexter, while Jude will be his regular face as it's closer to what this particular guy look like in real life (albeit a little skinnier).
I've been thinking about SapharBJDTailoring on Instagram for the jacket. The leather jackets she's been making lately are fantastic and her work overall is just magnificent. She also has very cute pet bunnies.

 

I got most of my order from SatorialJ which included Jude heads. I got the Brave Heart faceup and it's a little different in that the scruff is more pronounced. It's done very well though. I did not yet receive the Braveheart outfit and one other item, so I hope they will be on their way soon tool.

Here he is...on an Iplehouse SID body.
He really gives me the Rex vibe.

Jude (Quinn) by luluna33, on Flickr

 

Wow, he's gorgeous! Congratulations, @luluna

 

Great picture of him Luluna.

 

Nose bleed!!
He's really gorgeous, and I do love the faceup. Luluna that is one great photo.

 

@IngieBee - @Bren - @oriscany any -Thank you!

Here is a profile shot of him....since they are sometimes hard to find.

Jude by luluna33, on Flickr

 

"hottie hit and run alert!"... omg I think I just died LOL *fans self* so ... 'real' looking ... not sure why but the 'not looking at camera is... even more appealing. 'scuse me... got a pile of drool to clean up now....

 

Oh wow, yah, he's not looking at the camera, and that does make the photo more interesting! Like something caught his attention! I love his profile, those eyebrows are amazing!

 

@luluna - Ooh gosh he is handsome!

My Jude head is currently with a face up artist and I'm very excited to see what she does with him over the next couple of weeks!

 

@Lady Tiku - @IngieBee - @Quiet and Insane - @GreenTeaSlug - Thanks so much for the nice comments!!! And YES, he does look he forgot where his razor is located. I am still getting used to all the scruff as I didn't expect him to have...so much.

I have a NS Jude head that I need to get faceupped....
