Dika Doll Pan

Image
Isn't he pretty?? I had a Dikadoll years ago, a 60 cm one and while I loved his face, I wasn't crazy about his body aesthetically, though it worked perfectly well. Now Dika has an improved, taller male body (this guy is 73 cm) and I am quite impressed! Pan's fullset is glorious too: Just so nice all around. Really great faceup too: And he's good even blank! Dikadolls, while not cheap, are not as expensive as Iples, you can take a look here on Alices' Collections: http://www.acbjd.com/pan-p-11680.html?cPath=44_46 I think he would be excellent with jointed hands , also from Dikadoll (listed in the sidebar of Alices' Main Page) If I had room for him I'd totally put him on layaway. But I would have to do a major selloff to do that..which I probably should do anyway to pay for some house stuff.

I can't even . "Mom?" This is how the Platypus was created...on the 6th day, God was tired, dug around in the bottom of the shoebox for whatever bits were left, and tada the Platypus. I will say the NS version is cute:

Supervillain Alice

Image
Maybe she is a Time Lord :D This is the most toylike of all the Thrones and one of the most fun. It's up for sale now at Renderosity, but I am having a little trouble letting go--I keep thinking of new patterns and styles for it, including custom ones for friends. But I have other things I need to finish, so I need to multitask. Also do laundry. :D

Vigor Body Crowdfunding!

Image
Granado has an awesome new body, less ripped than the Evol--it's currently Way Too Tall, but Granado hit on a plan to diversify the sizes by having a sort of Kickstarter for it. Details are below. "Prize" is a typo-- it's "Price". Sooo tempting but I need a mattress first. And gutters, a cell phone and a new car. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Dear VIPs, We received so many requests that customers want to order our Vigor body, but the size doesn't fit what they want, so we thought up this deal. Since Vigor body is a 3D model, we can print out any size you want. If we received at least 5 orders for 1 size, we can start making it. Vigor body's crowdfuning works as follow: Crowdfunding period:   From  28 / 03 / 2018 to 28 / 04 / 2018 You can choose a size first, then click to order it with deposit. ($100) When we reach 5 orders for 1 size, we will send you an E-mail to ask for the remainder. Then you can make the full paym

And Now A Word From Tumblr

Dear fishcake2012, As part of our commitment to transparency, we want you to know that we uncovered and terminated 84 accounts linked to Internet Research Agency or IRA (a group closely tied to the the Russian government) posing as members of the Tumblr community. The IRA engages in electronic disinformation and propaganda campaigns around the world using phony social media accounts. When we uncovered these accounts, we notified law enforcement, terminated the accounts, and deleted their original posts. While investigating their activity on Tumblr, we discovered that you either followed one of these accounts linked to the IRA, or liked or reblogged one of their posts: 1-800-gloup aaddictedtoblackk  previously known as: kathyzunigaoverhere, soaddictedtoblackk bellaxiao  previously known as: blogmadworldlove bellygangstaboo best-usa-today blackness-by-your-side  previously known as: black-galaxy-magic, fullyfurrymiracle, u4guy, ufo-pilot-and-his-sexy-spouse blacktolive c

Snow in DC, and a Soom Wig

Image
It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it looks lovely! M sent me this photo of his backyard from last week and it looks like a postcard. I think he needs goats or sheep to add to the rustic charm. I think I forgot to put this up--I received my Heliot wig from Soom and it's a really nice wig--to offset the cost I bought one for Cat as well. The fibers are heavier than the Kanalon that Monique uses, and I find that it tangles less. Plus I love the mixed colors--you can't see them too well here, but there are blue and purple in the black strands: Blurry photo of the label: Aww, those cute ears! I should take some more photos of Clyde, the Heliot that Cat sent me, he's so cute; and almost decent,  though his "sweater" needs a bit more fixing up.

Cats and Dogs

haha super grainy but fun!

Random Wednesday Photos

This is where all my time has gone--look at this shiny thing :D There is even some wear on the "seat velvet", so I am learning stuff as I go along. The set is almost ready--I am doing promo renders and I have found some flaws now that I am rendering at larger sizes, but once those are fixed, the set goes to the testers-- and then hopefully on sale. I also have fixed the washing machine. It was getting slower and slower to fill on the cold water side, and the plumber said there was a filter at the end of the hose that was probably clogged. A really simple fix--except that the plumbing in the house is so fragile any unscrewing of hoses has to be done very, very carefully (when shut off, the cold water valve on the wall leaks, and the shutoff handle is crusty with rust. If the handle broke off, it would be another call to the plumber, and all the house water would have to be shut off.) So I got the hose off, and the filter was a mess--some of the washer inside the hose had

Iplehouse Ron

Image
While I was doing other things, Iplehouse released this cute EID guy --he looks like Wendy's big brother to me. I think he is on the Model EID body, which is less bulky and IMO more manageable than the big, heavy EID body. It's possible the model body is a bit more flexible, too, especially with the mobility thigh. Here is a comparison between the two EID bodies that Iplehouse offers: He's still quite tall, but I think that works with the sculpt. At the moment I have one EID sized guy (Davy, an Angelsdoll Evan) and that is plenty. Though Ron is nicely styled, too: "I'm too Sexy For My Hat" (Some Music for Ron):

Friday Night Dance Music

Total catchy goofiness--the original song made me laugh too. I know it's political, but seeing the "Disco FBI" was too good to resist.

Yigal Ozeri's New Work

Image
He's doing some black and white--and yes, THAT IS AN OIL PAINTING. I think it's Arena 2 , you can see it on his website: http://www.yigalozeriartist.com/recent-work/ The website is great for content but navigation kind of sucks, you have to click and mouse around to find things. Thumbnails please, people! I want to see your stuff!! Here's Arena One: And here is more amazing smoke painting with Lizzie Smoking : I adore how he paints out of focus trees. :D Go see more! There is a lot more!

Available at Home Depot...

Image
I just wanted to let you know that Unicorn Spit can now be bought very reasonably at Home Depot, and after you do your stenciling you can go to Target and pick up a matching lamp: And I am on my last throne! Then I get to put people on and around them.

Pretty Pretty Assassin Mermaid Throne

Image
It doesn't look like 8 hours of work, but I put 3 different seat cushions on there, before I found the right "ribbon and tidepool" look that I wanted. The coral reef material on the back is from Filter Forge, a program that makes tiling procedural materials you can tinker with. It's actually a lot of fun just to play with, but it makes some amazing materials too. The underlying model is by Andy Boys and it's rendered in Poser Pro 2012.

The Return of Soom's Chrom

Image
He's baaack!  Paw, claws, furry ears and little fangs.. I think the fangs are new. He looks good in gray and he has his old, proper nose as far as I can tell. He's got a nice outfit, too! Good thing I am out of room :D Human or paw version or both, cream white or gray. Check out the toe blushing: Im pretty sure he is on the new body, the taller 2016 body.

Supervillain Seats!

Image
This is not my model, I am just texturing it; and it is so nice to work on someone else's high poly creation! The arms' texture is all computer generated, the back of the chair is a Filter Forge created fractal put into a jpg and applied to the seat. Poser is actually very fun to texture in, because you can mix and match hundreds of things--or just paint a texture and plug it in. This one is mostly painted-- and then I went nuts with the Displacement setting for the seat: (This was my first attempt, below..hehe!) The backs of the chairs are looking good: I still have more to go this week but it's not a chore at all--this model is pretty cooperative!

The White Witch at Fairyland

She is a Feeple 65 , the same size as Seian and Chloe, and she is so pretty <3 Lots of photos on the site; here are a couple more: I was really on the FL site because Arekushia told me they had Elf Ear face protectors!

So I keep falling asleep before I post, after being on the computer all day, making weird little objects. But J has been busy making things, and I have taken some photos --but of things like onion rings and loaves of bread :D Here is a lemon meringue pie: That meringue was the best I have ever had! J also tied a bunch of flies for an upcoming fishing trip: The cat watched the skating in the Olympics--I have no idea why: We grew a giant icicle (now all gone entirely, I think Spring is here early) And I worked like crazy trying to get things textures for Poser as well as learn Hex and Wings. The plumber is paid off and the electrician came yesterday morning to fix our porch lights, so things are getting repaired. Nice weather will help a lot with the other house repair chores--I will be able to clean up outside and clean the porch as well. It's a little warmer than it was before I plugged all the holes in the porch, but aluminum windows meant a 20 degree differe

Just a blast from the past...

Just Ashley, my Soom Snow white...I don't usually like gray dolls, but here I am with a three that I just love (four if you count swapping heads)--Ashley, My once-purple Migmas, Isa the second Deesse by Sicktress, and the gray Beryl. That Soom body is the perfect size and so posable with the thigh mobility joint. I have 2 covers due for Edge Tesseract, so I have to not do dolls for a couple of weeks--I realized today that I have done a LOT of covers for ET, and they are not bad! Edge has some very nice covers not by me, so I am in great company. I also found this funny filter version of a cover I did for a novella by Linda Williams (part of the Okal Rel universe), and while it looks goofy, I like the circle design of it a lot--and chewing with the filter let me concentrate on the composition rather than the details. It's easier on the eyes than squinting, too :D Here is the final: I should be doing more YA novels--it's kind of my natural style.
