I'll try to be a better photo-er as I'm so lazy and have a box full of props and a camera sitting so so close but so much lazy.. so much lazy.
You'll have to take lots of photos and link me when you get your own!
I'd love to see who you end up bringing home.

What size wig do you use for your Luts Cane? I can't find solid information on whether it should be a 8-9 or larger. Thanks!

IcarusLoveMedley In reply to fruitsmoothy [2013-10-26 15:27:33 +0000 UTC]
Sorry for the slow reply! I grabbed you some pictures of both wigs on to make up for it haha.
I only had one custom made wig for him so I borrowed my roommates to test, both the 8-9 and 9-10 fit:
8-9 Wig: i1217.photobucket.com/albums/d…
Fits snuggly, no movement on it, you wouldn't need a broccoli band or a rubber bracelet to keep it on.
9-10 Wig: i1217.photobucket.com/albums/d…
Fits a little more loosely, would slide around without a rubber bracelet but not a bad fit.
I'd lean more towards the 8-9 as long as the wig has some stretch.

OH MY GOD those tattoos you have made to BJD's, seriosly perfection! <3 Simply breath-taking, omg I wanna be as good as you some day! xD Your dolls are super-cute too! :3
And psst pardon my curiosity, but can you tell me anything about Migidoll resin, how is it like? I think I'm gonna order my own pretty soon so I'd really love to know an opinion of a master like you. x3 is it nice to paint on for tattoos >: D

IcarusLoveMedley In reply to Annyngton [2013-10-04 16:16:16 +0000 UTC]
<3 Kee Thank you so, so much! So glad you like, a lotta practice on both dolls and just paintings is all it took so, Keep practicing!
And thank yoou, I'm quite fond of the little buggers as well.
Velp, when it comes to Migidoll Resin I quite like it, I don't have a full body from them [as their bodies aren't really that great in comparison to other companieeesss. I LOVE their headsculpts though] I can tell you that faceups go on REALLY easy. Especially as their heads are on the larger size. My Jina was a dream to paint. Couple coats of MSC and no problems.
I guess lemme put it this way, I now own four migidoll heads and my roommate owns 3 XD we're pro-Migi all the way and I've done faceups on all of them multiple times with no problems XD Also if you're wanting a different body that matches well for your head, SpiritDoll is a really good match, I have my Jina and their resin was GREAT for painting on and poses amazingly. I'm in love. I ordered another body so they definitely made an impression.

Waaa thank you so much for such a long answer! ;w; <3
Yay so I don't have to give up on my dreams for Migidoll! xD
Hmm, those Spiritdoll bodies looks simply amazing, (I love that upper-leg-joint-thingy, and it really broke my heart that migidoll bodies didn't have it so) would you mind telling me which color matches which? :'D I'm looking for as pale as possible so do you think that Migi's A type white could go with Spiritdolls white skin?
Your pictures tell me more than 1000 words, your Jina is breath-taking!
But seriosly, thank you soo much! It's so great that such great dollist as you is also helpful and awesome person! ^^ Thanks to you I can order my boy pretty soon waaah

Not a problem at all :3 It's my pleasure to help out. If I have the knowledge I'll share it as I had a bunch of great friends in the community who helped me out when I started off. No need to give up the Migidoll dream XD They're addictive though! Not a bad head sculpt in the bunch XD
The only resin that I've come across that I don't like is Angel of Dream. I owned one for a few years and was happy to see it go. It just gets SO shiny no matter what you do.
I can do one better than just telling haha. I'll show you, I took the headcaps I have on hand atm and put them with two different bodies.
I forgot that I have a Popodoll body that also matches quite well. Sho! Spiritdoll and Popodoll, ErrorAuthor also has a 63cm popodoll body that is a pretty good match if a bit pinker. icaruslovemedley.tumblr.com/po…
Spiritdolls normal skin is a 80% match ish, you're in luck, I just won a Fairy Jina head in Type-A whiteskin. If you want Error and I were going to sit down and do a restringing tomorrow and I could put that headcap with the rest we have to see if anything is a closer match.
<3 Thank you so much you're so sweet! She's my favourite besides my Legende de temps Edria who I am waiting on a body for. Anotherrrr Spiritdoll. The small boys body this time, so when it arrives I can update you on if their resin color has changed. haha.
I'll get back to you soon with the resin comparison pics. :3

Aw, I'm sure that one day when I'll have a chance to help out someone I'll be as nice as you now! xD
Well I'm glad that Migidolls aren't the most expensive bjd's!
And aaaa thank you so much for that comparison too! That Popodoll body looks quite interesting (and a bit cheaper), I really need to think now. :'D
Aaaah just thank you so much for your effort, you can't even imagine how much I appreciate it! ;w; I love you.

<3 It's really rewarding, I remember when I was just starting out with dolls and I had NO IDEA what I was doing. If I had had some guidance I would have gone in an entirely diffferent direction in the beginning and would have gotten a lot better with faceups a lot faster.
I am too :3 And I'm glad they put out a decent amount of heads, not too many to be overwhelmed *coughsoom* and not too few as to lose interest.
I love the popodoll body, when strung properly it can do amazing things. ErrorAuthor has one too. They've got a great chest mech piece to allow for slouching and double jointed legs and arms, the only weird thing is it's very easy to lose their penis as it comes off. I do a regular penis check when I take him to doll meets XD Jeryama who sells them on ebay is really nice too.
We decided to have a lazy day and I did work stuff while Error wrote so we didn't do the dolly comparison this weekend. Seeing as I was bored and did work today instead of relaxing I'll take the dolls down tomorrow and do some photos with their headplates. I have an old comparison shot to give you for now :3 : fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net…

Okai right now I think that I really am in love with that popodoll body. I searched little more information and ahhh just
I can never thank you enough for these tips! And leading me to Jeeryama! You really are an angel ;w; And about that penis checking too, I really have to remember that xD
You really don't need to rush with that comparison hun! Words can't describe how sweet you are for doing such thing! ;3;
That old one is very helpful too. :3

Popodoll is awesome! I'd completely recommend a popodoll, there are four in the city here and everyone who has one has no complaints. [The 63cm one seems to be a little buggier, I'd go with the taller one from Popo and if you wanted a shorter body go with Spiritdoll]
I'd say that the only complaint I had with the popo was they knicked the front of the ankles assembling the doll and didn't offer a small refund or replacement parts. [Jeeryama offered us a pair of eyes or a wig or something from her shop but it wasn't her fault so we said it was okay.] It's such a minor thing on an otherwise great body and it didn't happen with the other two ladies who bought popodoll in the city. May have been a one time thing. <3
Anything to help! I'm such a chatty kathy too, love talking dolls and helping out :3 If you ever need anything I'll do my best or ask around as we've got some veterans in the city, everyone knows a bit about everything! I'm going to pull the dolls down today, I don't have rehearsal and am finishing up work early sho! All's well.

Oh yeah and one more thing I'd love to ask! Popodoll sells joint hands for only 70cm, could you recommend any SD-sized matching hands from other shops? :'3
