Harold read UR FUTURE

[nightofthelivingdolls]

And she’s done!! My Muriel doll from bug-memory, now renamed to Maggie. I have always loved ball jointed animals, and opossums are one of my favourite animals, so I’m really glad I was able to get her. She’s so cute, I absolutely love her. I also made her a pet bed so she can have somewhere comfy to sleep, and it seems that she’s already making a few friends!

Video will hopefully be out soon (although I’m like three video projects behind right now so no promises)

Expensive kickstarter opossum bjd and 3 dollar Michael's halloween rat purchased with employee discount in 2018 or 19 because I couldn't get over the "bone ears" are making friends

i love dolls and id love to collect bjds or at least get myself one nice one but i have yet to meet a bjd that had all three traits of 1) looked good to me 2) had a fair price 3) was available for sale at a time i had enough disposable income

it doesnt help that i am turned off by most of the popular dolls available (super thin androgynous emaciated anime fairy so-pale-theyre-translucent elves) (huge bobbleheaded chibi babies max like ten cm tall with stubby limbs) qnd also need to spend more time working on custom dolls until i feel like i have the necessary skills to start doodling on a hundreds of dollars doll...

most of my favourites ive seen have been super limited runs tbh... ive only seen a few people make fat (or """""curvy"""") dolls but i am typically way more drawn to them. also i love animal dolls like uhmmm that one artist who makes the bat and spider ppl? i think? the opossum one ive seen going around tumblr lately is cuuuute but not necessarily my style i dont knowwwww im just picky

[southern-pupboy]

some articulated and bjd i found on etsy that I want tbh

put an animal skull on something and I'll want it

or an entire skeleton, even better! Oh i only wish Halloween prop makers would learn to make slightly more accurate skeletons, like the human skeletons. not 100% correct but not glaringly incorrect

an opossum! Underrated critter

KITTY!!! :D

spooky kitty, I love Halloween style stuff

I may be a boy but I'm not opposed to cute stuff, and these dolls are adorable

reminds me of Lisa Frank artstyle

I am trying to practice photography and took some Proto-Harold photos in my yard! The Canon Rebel XT that I bought used in 2016 is still pretty okay lmao

I'm hoping to take some more promo photos for his pre-order! (which I hope to do this month? But need to discuss with the caster)

[bug-memory]

WHO GOES THERE

[bug-memory]

Low key, my goal for starting Harold's pre-order is 10/29.

Today, I'm going to try to get an estimate from the caster. Have been sanding these pieces for literally 5 hours and I have several hours left... in addition I need to do another layer of primer on top. Everything hurts haaa

Anyway yeah. Soon! I will keep everyone updated here. I really hope this project can be a success. I really want to make my lil creature a reality.

[bug-memory]

It's happening! TOMORROW AT NOON! I will be posting some color mock-ups (there are four options) and more info soon! Mostly tomorrow, though. I will infodump you tomorrow. I need to make some more graphics and get the form ready (lmao help).

I don't love when people solicit shares BUT shares would help in this situation lmao. I kind of don't know what to expect. People like Harold, but idk if it is enough? My Muriel project was unexpectedly successful, but I recognize I'm not entitled to success and have no idea what will happen. I need a minimum of 12 to make the casting actually happen, so I hope you all can help me with that! Honestly I feel like I'm at a turning point here and would love to do dollmaking as my main "art" rather than begging the internet to do illustrations, so any interactions and stuff really help!

Anyway! TL;DR HAROLD HAPPENING TOMORROW AAAAAAAAAA

[bug-memory]

I’m gearing up for Harold, my 1/4 scale spooky opossum ball-jointed doll! He is my first casted doll and I’m excited and nervous and hoping y’all will like him. I’m planning to offer extended layaway and the option for pickup at Resin Rose in August 2025 (at which I’ll be vending). This weekend, I’ll be making graphics showing the different color options, measurements, etc. Stay tuned ♥️

[bug-memory]

Watch me play with Harold 🤍

Harold’s preorder ends this Tuesday, 11/12/24! I’m so thankful to all who have joined the preorder. With your support, I will be able to get a couple of extras for my first venture into vending at Resin Rose next year.

If you'd like your own Harold, take a look here!

I will use this post as a thread to share these fortunes on an ongoing basis up till Halloween.

[bug-memory]

It's official! It's LIVE!

You'll get a tiny tarot card hand-picked by Harold's tiny little claws. Just be sure to message me so I know who to tag 🎃🔮

[bug-memory]

Proto-Harold is assembled! I wasn't exactly planning for him to be able to stand up but he does, way too well

I plan to have someone make custom robes for the pre-order so it is the proper materials and they have sleeves. But he looks pretty good in this 1/4 robe I had!

[bug-memory]

Muriel Kickstarter is a Go!

Losing my. Mind. But I hope it goes well.

The kits seem popular already so, if those sell out, I will add more!

I have some early bird specials on the kits so please take a look!

[bug-memory]

Just realized I hadn't shared the blushed color mock-ups for Harold here! These are the light/dark color schemes. I am willing to do a different hue if you get one with blushing; just ask me!

I have met the minimum quantity needed for this project! You can still get a Harold through November 12th. More info here 💛
