I've been thinking about making a doll of Danny, the guy who took in Jack (my Zaoll Muse boy). And because whatever drawings I've done of him are in my sketchbooks, and I'm too lazy to flip through so many just to find it, I thought I'll check my deviantart. But apparently I only uploaded 1 drawing of him??! And it's not even a particularly good drawing of him. His face looks a tad too thin/angular. And I've forgotten how many piercings he has, or where they are. Needless to say, it's been a long time since I've drawn him.

Anyway, with the vague impression of what he looks like, I've been considering these dolls:
-Switch Sohwa
-Switch Waseon
-LLT Edria boy (Maybe?)
-Migidoll Cho (But I kind of want to diversify my crew, and not buy so many Migidolls)
-Migidoll Owen??
-Migidoll Ryu??
-Volks Amelia (Used to be my choice for Danny but too pretty??)
-Volks Olivia (again, too pretty, and I already have Freddy, so trying to avoid doubles, also, eyes may be too big)
-Luts Abadon???
-Dollmore Klode Gaspar? (Just saw him on dollmore and he's kind of generic looking, but also kind of fits Danny?)

Rereading Viewfinder makes me want a pretty boy but I'm not sure if that's the only thing I want for Danny. Like, he's lower on the priority list than getting Freddie and the Unoa Lilin Roar their bodies, but I'm also kind of excited with the possibility of a pretty boy. Lol. Don't think I've bought boys in a while now. I realise my recent additions were girls. Except for Cypher who's a small boy (so he doesn't really count).

Also, I've been considering the fact that Danny needs to look pretty proportionate to Jack. Like Jack is a Zaoll Muse boy so he veers on the realistic-ish side of doll sculpts. So that has been my concern with sculpts like Volks Amelia, Olivia and (maybe) Switch Sohwa. And I just missed a Sohwa ordering period even though I was aware of it. It's like I suddenly look at the blank head and think...maybe he's not the best for Danny. My current fave is Waseon, but like, he's still missing something. I'm not sure what. I know Migidoll Cho (or Owen) can pull off the look, but I'm trying to not buy another Migidoll. Like, I want to try something else, but it's tempting to return to tried and tested favourites, haha. Like, Migidoll Ryu can probably also pull off Danny. But yeah. No Migis for now.

The other day (might have been last week), I put Freddie on Caillen's body and placed her beside Jack for a sense of how the sculpt might work out for Danny. But I guess it doesn't, because Freddie looks too sweet for Danny, lol. Ahhhhh. I don't know. I'm sitting around hoping sculpts that would fit more would pop up. Haha. Eyeing Kanadoll but then again I don't really know. Hmm.

Chibi Unoa on Unoa 1.5 body, 5Stardoll Star10 body



Excuse the graininess of the photo, I only have my phone camera right now...

I took some photos of my Chibi Unoa faceplates on the bodies I have to see the fit, and thought I'll share them.

 L to R:
1. Chibi Lilin Roar (fresh skin) on Unoa 1.5 body (fairyskin) with Buff headback (WS)
2. Chibi Lilin Roar (fresh skin) on 5stardoll Star10 body (normal skin, pale and looks rather similar to fairyskin) with Buff headback (WS)
3. Chibi Lilin Sleeping mod (fairyskin) on 5stardoll Star10 body (normal skin) with Buff headback (WS)
4. Same as 3 with a wig.

 For some reason the Roar face looks okay on the 30cm 5stardoll body although the Sleeping face does not... In other words, I'm not terribly sure what body my Roar faceplate should get. Pebbles (the modded sleeping faceplate) is already on the Unoa 1.5 body, and she looks good on it. I realise I don't have a photo of that, but she does. Haha. Yeah. But the Roar face, which I've not named, I'm not so sure.

I was going to just go with a Chibi Unoa body at first but not only is it more expensive than other options, I would most likely have to buy a full doll for the body. And I'm afraid I won't want to sell the extra faceplate, haha.

But clothing wise I think yosd/slim minis have more options than the Chibi Unoa, which is my main concern. I'm not as fond of the Roar head on a slim mini body. She looks too tall and not like a young child. So I was thinking of yosd bodies but their bodies are a tad small for her. Even the Star10 body doesn't look like it'll be my best bet. I'm leaning towards Narsha bodies but then I'll have to find someone for the head.

Hybrids for non-male, non-SD sized dolls are hard to do for me, haha. I know a bit more about male SD hybrids lol. (I have so many of them XD)
