SomniaCrawler Doll - Minis

Aug 20, 2020

    1. ~ First post reserved for general info on SomniaCrawler and their creations. As such it is bound to be frequently edited and updated. ~



      Hi~

      This is the thread for MSD sized of Somnia Crawler Doll.
      The creator is located in Europe, Spain.


      The first official release is called Nara, an orc, of the Hoodlums series.
      Nara was released for pre-order in Feb 2019.
      Original colors offered were „Basic Apricot“ and „Basic Fresh Moss“.
      Later those having joined the pre-order were given the option to change their pre-order to „Teal“ which was meant to be a limited color, but gained a lot of popularity when showcased on Instagram.

    2. Made this thread since there hasn't been one yet and I love my Nara too much, to not share her and hope to find others sharing the same sentiment ;P

      Here's my girl. She's still a work in progress, but getting there.

    4. Thank you and no problem ^^
      I'm also looking forward to what else she comes up with and if I see news, I'll be sure to post it here if someone hasn't already :D
       
    5. Ah somehow I forgot about this thread! I love my Nara!

    7. Thank you <3
      I really love it too :D
      And it’s just such s perfect mount fit for her :D

      And what do you mean more xD I haven‘t seen a single picture of yours over here yet.
      Kindly fo hand them over ;)
       
    8. @Lilla My Nara felt so highly insulted at the mere suggestion, that she might not be able to ride her wolf, that she was actually the best behaved for this photoshot that she has ever been.

      To answer your question:
      She'd like to answer: Can pigs fly?
      (Of course they can - and if yours can't, she is more than willing to lend them a hand or two. ;p )

    9. :lol::thumbup

      She looks so good on it!
       
    10. @Lilla XD Thanks! That was the intention. Acutally I purchased the wolf for her before she was officially released for pre-order. In anticipation / fear of her size potentially not working out, I had one of my Loongsoul girls mount the wolf (as she is one of my smaller MSDs) and... nearly got in trouble cause I had the itch to get a 2nd one, as the other girl looked DARN GOOD on the wolf too XD

      Managed to hold back. It's my Nara's first, was planned that way from the start and ... well... They make it work ;)
      Really need to give her weapon a paint job thought. And maybe the wolf gets a sort of harness for easier posing them together, preferably in a dynamic pose like as if they are riding into battle or mid-battle *0*
       
    11. Ok here is a picture for the thread!
      I'm so happy I hung onto this frapzilla wig. Was it the style I had in mind? no. Was it a color I had planned? also no. But its just too flipping cool!

      (side sob story - I moved to a new house in 2020 and still don't have a doll photo area properly set up and its been like 8 months :()
      I put up some new photos of her on my instagram as well: Login • Instagram

    12. Hahaha, I know a thing or two about wigs not quite like planned XD
      But she's rocking that style. Also love the little tankard. Totally need to either make or find one to print a multiple times for my dwarf's tavern XD Cheers!

      (Also, don't stress yourself, when you get around it it will become even more glorious for it ;)
       
    13. I love seeing what other people have done with their Naras!!
      Here's mine, she's supposed to be a more sci-fi, shadowrun type character. I really want to pick her up like, a nice miniature rifle or something like that, definitely some futuristic accessories (but for now she's a work in progress)
      also I still haven't named her
      [​IMG]

      I plan to redo her faceup sometime next month

    14. Very cool @Mr_Sunstrider ! I like the unexpected sci fi orc angle. She has a very cool look.

      I haven't seen anyone with a Nara using the extra large bust. It's sooo big, I like the small bust because it fits so many clothes that I have. I am curious to see it thou.
       
    15. @Mr_Sunstrider Shadowrun!!! Cool! Any specific class you want her to repsresent? Looking forward to seeing what accessoirs and other stuff you come up for her XD

      On a side note, it's just been decided that my Nara will actually be included in the next Dungeon's and Dragon's campaign, as my friends and I prepare to dive into the 5th Edition at long last via video-calls :3 She's a half-orc barbar there and doesn't get a wolf-mount, but... I'm happy to see her swipping enemies left and right in the future. -^^-

    16. Thank you @skyealloway !! I actually have the extra large bust on my Nara right now (after restringing her to try and get her to stand better....which didn't work) so I took a couple of pictures for the thread
      [​IMG] [​IMG]
      please excuse my terrible set up! I'm thinking I'll probably switch her back to the small bust at some point though, because it is so big.

      I'd never really thought about what class she'd be @Snowy but thinking about it now I think she'd be cool as a rigger or a street samurai! I'm gonna have to get her a tiny drone and see how it looks lmao!
      that's so exciting that your Nara is gonna be in your next dnd game as well! I hope she gets to do loads of cool things!!
       
    17. Oh awesome thank you @Mr_Sunstrider ! She's so much more...adult ...with the large bust!

      Mine doesn't like to stand either. Seems like the little ledge on the lower knee peanut isn't quite ledge-like enough to keep her leg straight. I think wiring her legs would help, but I really like her versatility is sitting poses, so I'll probably just opt for a doll stand and leave her legs as is.
       
    18. @Mr_Sunstrider Oooh, that top really helps putting those cuves in a special spotlight! Lovely :D

      Why choose, when you can just make samurai-sword fighting rigger out of her ;) Totally get a drone!!! (You make ME want a drone for myself XD)

      Hahaha, yes it was a spontanous decision cause half or the ppl already knew what class they were gonna do and we already have a rogue and a cleric and highly likely a mage and I was like: Ok. We need close-combat damage. ... *side-eyeing Nara all of sudden* ... Well... I never got around playing an half-orc ...
      My friends (all also BJD hobbyists or know about it) were highly cheering for me introducing to them their main front fighter XD
      I'll have to make her some small pouches for the belt and finally get around painting her weapon. That or make and print a greataxe for her, as that's going to be her canon main weapon. Probably XD Still a work in progress :3


      @skyealloway wiring usually won't get in the way of flexability. Depending on the thickness of the wire you might just need some extra grease ;) It had a Resinsoul Ming once, who was an absolut delight to pose after a friend wired him for me.

    19. Your son is ENTIERLY correct! She's awesome and you did a great job! I love all the little trinklets ab ´d details you added! Really gives some live to her.

      Just watch out. Soon your son might desire this mighty warrioress for himself ;) After all, every army has to start somewhere. And then he'll raise a horde ;P
       
    20. Haha thanks @Snowy

      Speaking of armies....I may have found an orc friend Login • Instagram
      I can't tell what size this doll will be but I will always consider orc buddies.

      And not to detail from Somnia's work, I hope she recovers from Nara's setbacks and gets back to work on that tiefling soon.

    21. @skyealloway
      oooh! She definitly looks like she could be up to be Nara's orc-ally.

      Oh yes, I hope she can close that chapter soon and go on with being creatively unleashed.
      She had several oder ideas and projects to work on, aside from her main job, but I think the current situation isn't making things easier at all.

    22. Watching this thread. This doll is an absolute grail of mine! I love the musculature of this sculpt. I wish there were more buff msd girls
       
      • x 1
    23. Me too! I had been searching for buff msd gals for a while when I finally saw Nara. Sometimes she gets mistaken for a boy, but that's ok, I figure she is tomboy enough that it makes sense people confuse her sometimes.

    24. So excited that pre-orders are going to be open this year again! I just discovered these dolls not long ago, and as a D&D and general fantasy lover, I hope I can get a Nara soon. And her new horned sculpt Leeloo as well. I adore them both. <3 :D

    25. I‘m also rather happy to see more activity from her again!

      The picture she put on yesterday is amazing! The red really hits the spot. Probably going to have to pass but I adore looking at creations like that

      The maker really brings a new style and something new to the hobby.
      Muscular females and also the tiefling/horned lady haven’t been done like that in msd size - or at all.
      Love to see that creativity unleashed :D

    26. I also love the face design of Leeloo! I don't think I'd ever own a doll quite that brilliant red color but maybe in other colors.

      Owning one of the original naras, I hope there are improvements to the legs overall. I don't remember if she ever said they've been updated but Nara is the only doll in my collection that wants to collapse constantly. She's still one of my favorites I just wish she'd stand a little sturdier.
       
      • x 1
    27. I was also really happy to see she's started posting again! I am very tempted by Leeloo, I think she has a lot of potential for different character ideas and styles, but I don't think I'd get her in the red. It would be nice to get another fantasy sculpt to go with my nara though, and I think somnia is so good at making sculpts that have a lot of character and a very distinct look to them!

      Completely agree re: the legs though. Getting my nara to stand or pose can be very frustrating.
       
    28. I am still waiting for the preorder of Leeloo, the red tiefling. Urzoth Jr needs a friend! But I'm happy for Somnia to take her time as well, it was an awful long wait for Nara that first go round.

    29. I look forward to see you adding Leeloo to your crew <3

      And yes, I agree, it's better if she can resolve things first.
