Melek is out to search for new herbs for Loreley to sell. We hope he doesn't get lost for years again he's... good at that.

Like really it has been years since I took poor little Melek out, but this was his day to breathe some fresh air.

[leiflitter]

As I am now 30 and apparently an Actual Adult and Twitter is exploding even more, I figured that before I get back to the last bit of ArtFight I'd do some Dolly Introductions because most of my characters exist in the form of very expensive, very large dolls rather than the far cheaper "just draw them" option.

This is because I have impulse control issues and just love these idiots so... Hey! LORE is below the page break, as well as their sculpts!

These are just the ones who are important in some way in the big ol' thing I have going on, there are MORE DOLLS. So many more dolls.

1. Callum Shelley - Dollshe David Kuncci - the man who made Frankie and his siblings. Married to Science and Science only; he's also very gay and very awkward, and so decided that his desire to be a father could only really be achieved through sewing a ton of bodies together and reanimating it using science and Arcane Shit. He's technically on the run, as Frankie was kinda made in a lab that was meant to be looking into ways to improve transplants and other slightly theoretical ideas rather than Maybe Magic Could Help Me Have A Child, but he's managed to embed himself into Harlan's weird little underworld and so they don't have to jump ship at a moment's notice anymore. He now lives in London, in one of the many buildings owned by the Twins- Harlan wrangled that, as it would be useful to have an actual doctor on standby, right?

2. Franklin "Frankie" Shelley - Ringdoll Frankenstein 2013 - Frankenstein's Monster if he was a mid-20s Horrorpunk Dirtbag with a heart of gold. Very family-oriented- it was him and his dad for a few years just after he was made and they're very close. Had a few wobbly times as he came to terms with Being A Bunch Of Corpse Parts and therefore not really being able to do stuff, but now they have a little niche he's having a good time. Would literally die for-

3. Poppi - Aimerai Scraps - a ragdoll that was brought to life via some fairly arcane shit. A literal cinnamonbun angel. Frankie's other half, and generally makes sure that Callum doesn't accidentally forget to eat while he's working on stuff. As she can't have children (she literally has no internal organs), she's also involved herself heavily in looking after Frankie's siblings.

4. Evelyn Shelley - Sugarble Night Miriam - Frankie's "little sister". She's about six and she's always going to be about six- she's a very sweet little kid, loves dolls and dressing up. She has that "Family Princess" confidence, and can often be found "making Frankie Pretty".

5. Valentine Shelley- 5StarDoll Aiden - Frankie's "little brother". Although he's technically younger than Evelyn, he's probably more akin to a 7/8 year old. He was made as a playmate for Evelyn as she was getting pretty lonely. Callum had honed his technique a little, hence Val not literally being blue like his siblings. He's always ready for some sort of adventure, but lets Evelyn take the lead.

6. Magdalen - Doll Chateau Oort -very old vampire. She's the tactician; although she's very powerful, she tends to direct her brother rather than get her hands dirty. She talks the most of the twins, but even that's not much. The twins function almost as one person, and are rarely far from each other.

7. Alasdair - Doll Chateau Cyril - also a very old vampire. He's Magdalen's muscle- if something threatened them, he'd be the one actually dealing with it. He barely speaks, but when he does it's generally something very important. The twins live in Highgate and do not appreciate any link between them and that Highgate Vampire business. Their home is a massive Victorian thing that has some minor glamours so it's not considered "the clearly haunted house".

8. Harlan Silver - Ringdoll K -puts the Whore in Victorian, he's here representing the Pansexual Slut Vampires. He's considered the "oldest son" to Magdalen and Alasdair, but his function is less as a child and more as their connection to the outside world. He brokers deals and access to the twins, sources... food for them if they don't feel like hunting and has shown them how to connect to the wifi about 5 billion times. He lives in a basement flat in London that would make any antiques dealer jealous. He also kinda has a... thing... with Callum, but it's less emotion and more mutual benefit.

9. Seraphine - Doll In Mind Marcellina - the precious baby daughter in the vampire family. She was brought to them by Harlan as a toddler in the late 1800s, and they have raised her the way they were raised. She is doted upon absolutely- however she's not as odd as the twins, mostly because Harlan has done his best to expose her to humanity and help her be as well-adjusted as an immortal creature can be. She's currently going through Vampire Puberty so she's spending a lot of time with Harlan because there's nothing more frustrating than having a teenage mood swing in front of the twins.

10. Siddiq "Sid" Shah and Noa Kim - Universedoll Tsukimi and iDoll Arnoah - long-term schoolfriends who grew up in the London Borough of Camden. They were both on the 'social misfit' side of things, and spent a lot of their time trading Stephen King paperbacks and watching crappy horror films, until they found a book at a car boot sale that was apparently an actual Grimoire of spells- and then their interest in witchcraft took off, and all that time speaking one language at home and another at school really helps when finding rituals that work. They describe their magic as "kinda like one of those buffet restaurants that serves, uh, everything? Like you can get pizza, curry and fish and chips if you want, but instead of getting food poisoning, you get results."

The two fell onto Harlan's radar fairly quickly because he's a nosy pest that lives pretty much opposite the little park where they do business. He's now got them "in" with the twins, and they're also the ones who managed to create Poppi. They're now pretty good friends with Frankie and Poppi, and are working on some Glamour spells because Frankie would really love to go to a gig at some point. Or even just to Nando's.

They often find themselves helping Callum, but mostly because he's a scientist at heart and although he's used magic before, he doesn't really... get it. They're also both on the twins' payroll, because witches are also very useful, and not as common as they used to be.

Surprisingly good hybrid? Sugarble head on the old doll chateau baby body. I bought the head on a whim because it was super cheap and i love me some smiley dolls, pure luck that it fits with the only body I had lying around lol

Shes wearing a blythe dress, but i need to get a much smaller wig for her. Shes just barely 5/6.

[izasfaceups]

This Sugarble Darlene in normal skin has my first faceup in a decora style. The owner was present as I was working on her, and she helped me bully the glitter into the right spots with a thin layer of PVA glue.

Decora isn't a style I normally do as I do not really follow it. But I do like how this faceup turned out!

Her previous faceup was a bit worn, and kind of plain in comparison to how colorful this character actually is.

Have a video to really appreciate the glitter freckles.

Sugarble is releasing dolls again!

YAAAAY.

(Here’s hoping they re-release their nagas, too.)

[truebjdconfessions]

Next character collection for the dolls.

I know they differ in quality but I don't do them for perfection I do them to challenge myself to just draw them all again.

adult!Nachtmar - my first collaboration with @adragonstale back in the day as I sculpted the huge tail fin and he casted the parts in silicone for me. Back in the day it was unusual to be able to buy such parts for dolls, that in ... 2022 you would be able to buy a bjd with a silicone tail... never would have expected it.

Sammi (child!Samuel) - I needed Samuel's happier child variant as a doll, Samuel's childhood was actually not that bad, he had a foster mother who cared for him, a family. But as Elana vanished one day everything changed.

Melek - For ages the only company that offered Naga parts was Sugarble, as they went out of business I got Melek. Now you have Dream Valley and other companies coming out with better engineered ones but ... I am fine with Melek. As a character he works in Loreley's shop and his special skill is getting lost in the forest while collecting herbs.

Victoria - She's one of Willow's loyal followers. A very friendly spirit who helps lost humans when they wander through the woods. In opposite to Wellem she's keen on helping and guiding them safely back home.

Kassandra - A lucky ebay find. As the doll to her was released I dislike the body she was on (around that time I instantly got every event doll from Doll Chateau... don't... ask) I skipped. But then I found the hybrid between both dolls on ebay, bought through Angelesque in before and by a trustable collector from the hobby. Kassandra is a scarecrow and sometimes ... she forgets that. Well her head is filled with straw what did you expect.

Vincent - After all the years Vincent got an design upgrade, I kept his first shell but this doll here is his main variant as the overall aesthetic matches Samuel and Delilah more. He is also the variant freshly after memory loss.

Lilian - Pierre's human form. Pierre's actual body is forced to stay in the chamber of candles, he operates through projections. But sometimes he uses his old human body to 'flee'. And that is Lilian.

Jaclyn - Another character from my Fallen Magical Girl Storyline, she was one of the weakest among them and got corrupted by the dark side. The darkness slowly eats her alive. I always wanted to do something cool with an Unoa Akubi and she was the result.

Petula - Happy little Pumpkin Lady. The Luts Pumpkin was one I had hunted for years and was so happy as it got a rerelease.

Blättchen - This doll wouldn't have been possible without Rotervolkenvogel. She bought him at LDoll for me. He's actually from the first run of Kodama which was like ... 5 dolls? Later on there was a second release.

October & Autumn - Different from all the other Pumpkins October and his sister Autumn are parasites, they move dead human bodies.

[deathbunnydolls]

Found a new head for Kit's dad Uboa, compared here to my new DZ Jiujiu, Matilda.

He's a Conarium Qingwu, a mature mini I just recently discovered while perusing the marketplace.

[bjdinfo]

Can you please do a resin comparison of Myou white skin tone with Doll Family-h and other bjd companies that have jointed hands?

Companies that have yellow-toned white skins are good matches:

Angel of Dream, Chicabonita, Doll Leaves, Doll Love, Dollzone/Doll Chateau (sister companies), Mystic Kids, Souldoll, Sugarble, Xagadoll/Asleep Eidolon; Magic Time and Fairyland too, but their MSD dolls are smaller so parts may not be compatible.

Jointed hand candidates (handidates?):

Asleep Eidolon/Xaga Doll white 2021 looks fairly close to 2019 Myou white, and they offer 1/3-sized jointed hands.

Doll Leaves white is described as a good match in a comment from 2022, but the included photo link was broken unfortunately. I’ll see if I can ask the commenter to repost it!

Doll Legend jointed hands might have worked but the company seems to be defunct. ;-;

Doll Chateau’s 1/4 jointed hands fit nicely on Myou Doll’s 1/4 ver. 3 girl body. (A bit small on ver. 1 but still functional.)

—

Companies that have pink or peach toned whites that won't match so well are:

IOS, Luts, Angell Studio, Loong Soul, Doll Legend, Akagi Doll, Migidoll, Dikadoll, Angel Fantasy, Doll Family-H, Doll Family-A

*Doll Family-H white matched in 2016/2017 but is now lighter and has a pinker undertone.

and companies that have paper white skin:

Dikadoll pure white (not sure on regular white), Resinsoul, Dream Valley

Will update if I can find information on other possibilities for jointed hands. Thank you for your ask and please let me know if you have other questions.

Myou White Resin Comparisons by epicari on Den of Angels [2017]

1. Dikadoll white 2017 (not a match- is a little pinker)- Dika pure white is a pure white so also not a match when fresh, however both Dika's whites yellow so older pieces may match)

2. Mystic Kids white 2017 (very close match)

3. Myou white 2017

4. Doll Family H white 2016 (very close match, is a tiny bit lighter) *no longer a match as of 2021

Top left: Resinsoul WS 2018- not at match as much whiter, but could be blushed to match.

Bottom left: Fairyland WS 2016- a passable match

Top right: Angel of Dream WS 2018- a good match

Bottom right: Souldoll WS possibly 2016?- a close match, the Souldoll looks a touch more yellow

Above: Doll Legend 1/3 male hands in white resin are a good match and fit for 1/3 Myou male body in white resin [2017] (jointed hand on left, original Myou hand on right) /sadly I think Doll Legend company is defunct ;-;

Above: 1/4 Doll Chateau hands on Myou ver. 3 body. They fit very well and the size looks natural on this body. The hands and V3 body are white and the colour is a good match.

2020 Comparison by balljointedheart

Withdoll cream white is a potential match, may be slightly lighter.

Dollzone WS (left) and Myou WS (right) by cap’n on Den of Angels [2021]

Myou WS matches (modern) Dollzone WS perfectly. The lighting isn't great (sorry) but here's Dollzone WS (left) and Myou WS (right). They're both a sort of creamy tone.

It is NOT a match to Dream Valley white. I still have Dream Valley white and it is very stark paper white.

Selling my Sugarble Stella

Lord I miss Sugarble!! They had the SICKEST Naga girls! I managed to buy one of their regular elf girls before they sold out, she was actually my first bjd ever, and it's not that I haven't bonded with her, I still love her lots, but I found another elf girl that I feel represents her better so it's time for her to find a home that will really appreciate her!! I have her listed on eBay as a bid https://m.ebay.com/itm/1-6-Sugarble-Stella-DISCONTINUED-LAST-CHANCE/123125869027 but sadly eBay ate up my pic quality so I decided to post her on here too just so she shows up more clearly.

She's so darling and I hope she finds a home soon! Reblogs welcomed!!

[cydril]

It was a great day for dolls! The weather finally cleared so I was able to do a batch of faceups. (DiM Archenar, NotDoll Lucy,  Sugarble 6R and OceanMoon EunHo) In addition, the wig and outfit I ordered for Fio several months ago both arrived :))

The newly faceup’d kids still need names, and Lucy needs restringing, but it feels good to make progress on them.

[bjdletsbefriends]

So glad sugarble is back, I hoped they bring back nagas and even more amazing dolls!

♥️

[bjd-discussiontime-blog]

BJD Discussion Time!

What’s your BJD holiday wish? 

For instance, I'd love to see Sugarble re-release their nāga dolls once they update their lines. (I know this is a long shot but I’m wishing for it, anyway.) I have so many fun projects planned once I am able to find one of those lovely creatures… - Guest Submission
