Update

So it's been some time since I last did an update in here. I've started doing an internship, so inspiration really hasn't been there much. >_<"
But I feel a little restless when I'm not blogging once in a while actually, because this is where I keep track of my hobby ^^

I'll start out with dropping a small bomb XD
I've debated this with myself a lot, and finally realised, that IH Lawrence won't work as Ludwig >_< He is just not the type to solicit pleasure women and smoking opium :D' So I'm going to use the Lawrence sculpt for another character...preferably a king or prince or someone noble. His face seems better suited for that sort of role :)
So this is exciting...I get to pick a new sculpt for the leader of my crew...but actually...it's really difficult XD' I find I'm extremely picky now. So I hope I can have fun looking for a new shell for him (hopefully keeping me busy until I start making some money soon) :)

Ludwig's character is still not that well known to me. But what I know is that he is extremely self secure, helps anyone he can, knows his own limitations, loves to taunt officials/guards/royals/etc., it prone to spend every penny in his pocket, likes to be praised for his looks and charm, dislikes rivals in looks and charm (he is pretty narcissistic actually <_<), is an extremely good fencer, seems like he doesn't have a care in the world but is actually very clever and cunning.
I'm imagining a guy who takes care of his crew like a mother hen, but at the same time loves to get in trouble with the authorities. He was sold into slavery as a young boy, so he has seen the system and hates how rich people trample on those less fortunate. He is a little like Robin Hood...just way more naughty XD

Idk if that makes sense...but it's turned out it's hard to find the perfect sculpt. I'd love to get a slightly smirky sculpt for him actually, but the ones I've seen so far will be hard to make into a 26 years old guy and not just a 17~19 years old ^^"
I'll just look further and hope I one day come across the perfect sculpt :D

My sister Helene showed me this super nice doll creator. So I've had fun trying to make concepts for my dolls using it.
 Codelia and Fitzwilliam. I want Codelia to have a colorfull wardrobe. And Fitz needs some goggles. :D

 Ophelia and Freyah. I want them to both have red hair. Ophelia is more of a wine/dark red, whereas Freyah's will be more orangey. ^^

Princess - disguise version (for lack of an actual name) and Ludwig. She is going to be shelled as a grey IH Bianca. Ludwig will have black hair with some blue incorporated in it somehow. ^^

Princess - non-disguise version (still not having a name for her) and royal-dude-number-001 (I played around to find a look for my IH Lawrence). I want my princess to be able to wear some awesome costumes as well :D And I'm imagining Lawrence's character will have a serious side-part x'D

So yeah, that's what I've been managing for now >_<" I hope I'm back soon with something interesting XD

    1. Haha yeah! It's been coming along gradually, but I'm pretty comfortable with my decision though. I think it'll be better this way :)

      Yay! Muhahaha I hope you'll get a prince in your crew! Think of all the cool stuff you can dress him in *___*

      Thank you! <3 I really appreciate your help! ^^
      I've been going through so many doll selling companies, but I keep finding "faults" in their dolls. XD maybe I'm just keeping in mind I have absolutely no money for doll stuff atm? ^^"
      Some input would be lovely though, thanks <3

  2. Good luck on hunting for a better sculpts :D
    Way too many dolls look so young T_T But for me, I just pretend they're looking older than they are. I don't want all my characters to be teenagers. xD;

  3. Hunting for sculpts is lots of fun x3 ~ but it's tough when there's no "perfect" one ~
    I like your idea of using dress-up doll makers to plan your dollies' looks like that! :O

    1. Haha yes. But I'm sure I'll find a sculpt for him someday. Maybe it just hasn't been released yet ;)

      Dress-up doll makers are SO much faster than drawing your dolls yourself. And it's much faster to play around with colors and such ^^
