Ponies

Since seeing all the awesome customs at the MLP fair, I've done a couple of new customs:

I'm debating doing a couple of ponies off of my AMP characters. Nice mad scientist Ash pony. Yeah. :D

Ebay canceled the bloody auction with 2 hours or so to go for--and here's the really fun part--a violation of a charity auction guideline that they don't list on their charity selling guidelines page.

Fucking. Hell.

I hate ebay.

I'm going to put together a 'for offers' setup once I calm down.

Flower Childe (her professional name) is a mod gal I've been wanting to do for a while. She's going to get some earrings once I find the right ones, and a custom outfit (she's wearing a rare Babs outfit from a few years back). Her eye makeup is airbrushed. I masked her entire face, cut out the design, and airbrushed it *very carefully*. Because I don't like airbrushing I'm forcing myself to do it more. Once she's completely done, I'm selling her for charity (Foster Parrots).

We went to a Zoo this past weekend which had lots of beautiful parrots in large habitats, which is nice, but then they had a bird show, the point of which was 'parrots make great pets. why don't you go get one?' which is horrible. I love my parrot, but he needs huge amounts of attention, is really noisy, and lives a very long time. If you don't play with a dog or a cat, they can generally do their own thing. Leave a bird in a cage and.... they'll go crazy. But anyway, Foster Parrots is a local bird sanctuary for the massive amounts of birds people buy, realize what they got into, and then get rid of. Before or after the bird starts self-mutilating.

Noirius is done! If you'd like to see the finished pics, go to his gallery. I already picspammed y'all last night for him :)

He has two tattoos now, but it's not light enough to take pictures anymore. I think I'll start sewing him his own outfit tonight. -.- zzzzz

Noirius

2008-06-03T02:32:48Z

Nowhere near done of course. I'm still trying to decide whether or not to give him a lip chain. I don't know how it would go with the Taeyang head mold. Any opinions?

I had a flock of turkeys in my yard on Thanksgiving. What do I have today?

Baby bunny.

If we get deer on Xmas I'm gonna freak.

In other news, I have been learning the new video camera I got by making pullip video tutorials.

Go see Right now I just have the basics up on opening/putting back together a pullip head. It took a ridiculously long time, but I'm going to try to get other things up as well.

Been doing some sewing lately! I've been doing some patterns from japanese books and making my own.

Shoes were mismatched Barbie MJs I painted, stockings sewn (no pattern) skirt sewn (no pattern) blouse sewn (Jenny pattern, modified). I've made a bunch of other outfits too, but I haven't taken any pictures. We got new light bulbs and it looks like they do a good job on indoor lighting (these were experiment photos)

I know, now that I don't post the AMP chapter updates my journal's gone all quiet.

Well, here's what I've been working on lately:

SHOES!

I finally developed the characteristic female shoe obsession. Except only in miniature.

Thanks everyone for your comments on Anne Bonny! She's one of my oldest, and the re-vamp wasn't all that dramatic, I kept the same eye shape and brow shape and colors, etc, I just made the style a little more in line with my current abilities. The biggest change is natural lips instead of her previous lipstick look.

Chapter 92: Chastity, Finally is online.

Redid Anne Bonney's face and am very happy with the results:

I realized I never posted it but Chapter 79 is up

I also spent an hour or so tonight fixing the Pullip Wikipedia pages again. I haven't looked at them in months. It showed. The Valley of the dolls and Pullip Style had their stock pages linked as 'galleries', Magma Heritage was up to his usual 'Official Distributor' shenanigans, someone had their own personal LJ linked off the bottom. So I got rid of the different store politics. Yes, Haute Doll, we know you have a limited. We're even letting you talk about how you're the first USA limited. What we are not doing is including your magazine as official pullip literature since it's been in plenty of other doll magazines. Madison will probably have another hissy fit and go on a deleting frenzy again because I renamed his link 'Magma Heritage Shop'

Wikipedia is supposed to be written in an impartial manner, right? Aside from all the store politics, there was also lots of fun comments that made it pretty obvious what certain people felt about certain things, like different body types. (Last time it was 2 people arguing about who was better, Namu or Taeyahg.) Yeah, got rid of those.

Another thing, that was really, REALLY confusing, was that my page was removed from the end links, but referenced multiple times in the body of the article. I appreciate the sentiment, but outside links go at the bottom. While I was at it, I also sorted the exterior links into sections, like official pages, unofficial pages, communities, and dealers. Pullip is the only wiki article I've visited that has stores advertising on the external links (as well as in the article, though I kept that to a minimum with my edits). I left it in, but I renamed the links so it's clear that they are selling something and not happy joy fun galleries and official pullip websites. Yeesh.

certain sections of my website are down. I BELIEVE it's the sql server of the host company, because both the forum and the gallery are down (and, if it was on my end, it would be one and not the other?) So I'll just wait it out... for now. I'll start panicing in a day or so.

Frankie's room is about done. He needs candelabras on each side of the bed.

Warning: Frankie's room contains not so tasteful artistic nudes of partly clad manparts.

Himemiya's lamp is now done, if you want to go see pictures.

I am going to sew up some pillows for Frank N. Furter's room, which isn't nearly as awesome, but it *does* have a gigantic mirror on the ceiling over the bed. The color scheme is also sweet, it just didn't quite gel as well as I like my rooms to. Oh well, I'll just call it a work in progress.
