One for Me
So this post is all me, neither of my lovely ones involved. Around the beginning of month-- as many of you may know-- I ordered Vana an A-line small bust body, and a Puki Piki, because he was too cute NOT to order, and my mother is buying him for me as a gift for keeping my scholarship. ^_^ Excitement!
Well, apparently I put my order in JUST before the event period, and so-- I'm getting a Nanuri 2008 head!!!! Delight! At first I loved the head, but I had no idea what I'd do with it. Then, while driving to work one day, it suddenly just hit me in the face: Vana's evil dark lord master!!! The only one who SHOULD be an SD and CAN be an SD! Now, originally, that was Melkor. However, "Melkor" is fully copyrighted to J.R.R. Tolkien, and so: time for a name change. XD I loved the -kor ending and decided to keep it, which means the name ended up SOUNDING very similar, but wouldn't be copyright infringement. So when the head gets home, he will be the head of Erekor, my one and only SD. I'm planning on putting him on a DZ body, because it's cheaper and I hear the resin match is decent. X3 Hey, I'm not made of money, you know, and I wasn't planning on ever buying an SD. I need to save pennies where I can.
So that's what will be on the way from Fairyland (hopefully soon!). I'm on Business Day 18 of my wait, and Monday will be day 19. They say up to 40 days, but some people have been getting theirs shipped before that, so I've got my fingers crossed! Especially since I know the Pukis have been shipping super fast, which means Brownie is mostly likely already made and just waiting for the other two.
More good news: my Jedi robes came in! Heeee! They're made by the brilliant T4124 and are custom color (green instead of the dark brown) for my Brownie. ^_^ I love them; they're so tiny!! She's been a pleasure to work with, and has put up with my incessant giddiness like a pro. Thank you for your patience! Once they got here I sent her a HUGE PM about how thrilled I was, because she didn't just send me the robes AND a tiny lightsaber she had. Oh no. She ALSO sent me an extra. A SCULPTED extra. One that is silently encouraging me to BUY ANOTHER PUKI. XDD I am talking about A SET OF LEKKU. For those who are not Star Wars nerds, or just not up-to-date on Twi'lek physique, "lekku" is the term for Twi'lek head tails. ^_____^ I LOVE TWI'LEK. I had never thought to buy one as a tiny, because they're so curvy and "sex symbol," that a baby didn't even cross my mind. X3 Now it has, though! If I ever buy Qyren (my Jedi Twi'lek character) as a Puki, she and the lekku will be painted a deep purple. ^_^ Gorgeous. I was so thrilled when I saw her note about them that I couldn't even form a coherent sentence. So when I say "it made my day," that is a terrible understatement. XDDD
Now, for the explanation of why Zrastja, when she is now a full doll instead of a floating head, and has her perfect wig and all, has not been photographed. Please know: I would love to. This isn't my usual procrastination, it's simply that I can't photograph her until she's perfect and complete. I want her first photoshoot as a full doll instead of a body snatcher to be done when her crazy amount of body work is finished. XD With any luck, it won't look like crap from my amateur skills. Hopefully my critical nature of all things done by me will help make it not too crappy. Still, I need to get her body work done and for that I need sealant.
I have discovered that Junkyspot carries MSC UV-cut. I NEED the UV-cut specifically because I don't want Vana's body (or any of the dolls) yellowing. Considering I am pretty sure her face is sealed with the MSC UV-cut and that's why it's so pretty and white, I don't want her resin yellowing the way the LAST body did and then not matching her face. This is also what I'll be trying out on Zrastja, since my can of Testors is low and I really don't want her yellowing more either (if that's possible. XD). I ordered the MSC (and a set of eyes for Brownie!) last Tuesday evening, and got the payment confirmation on Wednesday.
So, my current excuse for why Zrastja isn't done is that I am waiting on my package so that I can make her pretty and deliver her to you. ^_^ Due to the holiday on Friday, however, I'm waiting on a reply for a UPS tracking number from the company. XP Because, as usual, UPS is letting me down by being late. BUT! Once that package gets here, I can finally get Zrastja's faceup and body tattoos done. She's going to be a doozy! I've been wanting to do this since I finally finished up her character (if anyone's character can EVER be completed) and I have almost all the first generation tattoos planned out. Since she's a goddess, she gets to switch em up next time around, but aside from my indecision for the tattoo on her other leg, and if she should have arm tattoos, she's all set. Her hand tattoos have been planned FOR AGES, so I'm really focused on the rest of her body. My darling boyfriend came up with an idea for how her face tattoo should look, and my Mom editted a little, and then I editted a little, and came up with something I like. Mom doesn't like it as much. XP Maybe I should have stuck to it just being down one side of her face by her ear and left it at that!
Hmm.. maybe next time I can theme her body tattoos to be all ivy... Ooh...
