Dom~
I wasn’t sure of this outfit when I was putting it together – it had lots of favorite elements but did it really jell? – but I ended up pretty pleased with it in the end.
I love how the shirt works with the denim jacket, even though the fairly rigid fabric plus the double layered sleeves hinders his arm mobility more than I’d like. Next time I use the jacket for an outfit, I think I’ll go with short sleeves and see how much of a difference it makes. ^^;
Joce doodles! I love this outfit on him – the two tops pair together exactly as I hoped.
For future photos, I might swap out different accessories to mix it up a bit, but otherwise I’m pretty darn pleased. Plus, it’s Joce, and he’s a delight in and of himself. <3
Some super-quick before-work shots from… nearly two weeks ago now. Whoops. But it’s something!
Playing around with Joce.
Some weeks back, I traded Dom’s old Isao body to someone on Den of Angels and got this body in exchange. It’s a B-11 split torso one with double-jointed elbows, which I’ve been wanting for him for a while.
A previous owner had coated it, and whatever sealant they used was splotchy in some places and extremely thick in others, so it took a lot of scrubbing to finally get it all (or at least mostly) off. I don’t really care for the feel of resin when it’s sealed, so none of my dolls are coated. Does that make me weird? (Or a bad doll owner?)
In these shots, he also has a heavily sanded Luts s-hook holder on his neck to lengthen it and boost his head up a little without doing a permanent mod. His Heart head was designed for SD13 boy bodies, so the neck hole is a little large for an SD10 body and the head sits lower than might be ideal. I don’t know if I’ll keep it as-is, adjust it a little more, or figure out something else.
Hmm. He’s cute, anyway, bobble-headed or not.
Bird brain.
Just some doodles. I’ve had this little faux bird since 2005, purchased specifically as a prop for Justyn, and I thought I’d amuse myself by taking photos of it with him again, while he’s wearing this so-very-appropriate shirt.
(Jer often refers to him as “bird brain”, by the by, because Justyn tends to be something of a space cadet. Vincynt, who doesn’t like to call anyone by their given name for reasons known only to himself, uses the nickname “dove” instead. So a bird-themed shirt is a nice little in-joke.)
