*Sound for the mood* Spoiler: BTS The "set" is made of various cables, a black sweater and random black fabric cuttings, some shelving parts, a cheap lamp, fairy lights and a piece of glass. I love shooting dolls because they are so small and allow me to set up stuff like this! I recently rewatched Chobits and haaaaad to make my own little Chii. I first watched the anime around the time I found out about BJDs, and Asa is made of very old parts probably produced around the same time so it only made sense to use her. The outfit was done for this month's sewing challenge if you want to see the WIP images. Thanks for watching! If any images are broken, you can just click the red Xs. Asa is an Unoa Sist (sleeping) faceplate on an old Dollzone body. The outfit is by me, socks unknown, wig *I think* Leeke.
Wonderful and expressive photoshoot. I've never watched Chobits, but I love the lighting and mood, and the doll herself in the outfit (great job with the sewing). My favourites are the reflection shots, and the very last pic which is a cool way to end the sequence. I get a sense that I'm being told a sweet story with a bit of sadness to it. Great work! thanks for sharing it and the BTS too.
Thank you @aihre ! I think Chobits has a lot of overlap with bjds in a way so I definitely recommend watching it! It is a sad and sweet story and I'm glad it also came through in the photos
Oh I absolutely adore this photoshoot! Chobits is one of the main reasons I got into BJDs and I think these pictures really do it justice I also love how she "wakes up" in the last picture! It's also really nice to see the setup! It's cool to see how something "simple" can work together to make such wonderful pictures
Thank you! I was also led to bjds through chobits in some ways and found it very fun to see the parallels between persocoms and dolls after rewatching the series! So cool to still meet chobits fans
add me to the list of people who read chobits Way too young and decided to make it a fundamental part of their identity...it boggles my mind that there's only one official chii doll out there. we need more!!
Indeed! I guess if Volks did the Chobits collab later on, after DDs were already a thing, we would have probably gotten some more characters too (come on Kotoko when???)... but no such luck
you so get it...dollfie dream chii (and freya...) and use the new itty bitty MDD to make sumomo and kotoko...imagine
I love this so much! The first thing I did for my Unoa Lusis was sculpting some Chii ears. Unoas have such a strong 00s vibes right? Loved the "mirror" effect in the darkness
I agree, Unoas have this very 00s future nostalgia in them - but at the same time, they feel very fitting in the present as well. I'm still quite smitten by how Mr Araki managed to make such ageless and detailed faces! I'd loooooove to see your lusis with Chii ears if you have any photos!
