(For Part I, click here.) It was hard to say how much time had elapsed between her capture and the moment the guards came back. There were no windows to denote sunrise and sunset; not even a sliver of light through the cracks. Before she even opened her eyes, the chains had been unhooked from [...]
(Hey guys! I'll be posting a bio for Diana sometime soon hopefully, but until then here's an intro for both her and Micah's characters. I hope you enjoy, I'll post Part II as soon as it's finished)How long had it been since she had last seen him? The wise stallion with her heartstrings tied tightly [...]
When I first knew for sure I was going to be the owner of my own Heliot, my brain started to concoct who he would be. The what was easy, of course. One big horn protruding from his forehead. Gotta be a unicorn (I'm sure more creative people have come up with better ideas but [...]
Guess who has jointed hands now. This guy. Guess what he's going to do with them? Nothing good. ... Oh dear. I'm going to repaint him and blush his hands before I take more pictures but yeah... You can expect more of this and... Prooobably worse. Hope you're looking forward to it [...]
It's been almost a year since I decided to start this project. I ordered a Doll Cheateau Snowborn back in late March and just got his wig not but a few days ago (almost 2 months after getting the doll proper). If you follow my Instagram, you probably saw the progress pictures I took while [...]
While it may seem like I've been a wee bit inactive on my blog, I promise I'm still writing and trying to make sure everything is perfect before I release anything of consequence (AKA character stories). It's something I've been doing in the background of everyday life inbetween actually doing hobby-related things (more to come [...]
Sometimes the hardest part of a doll is finally getting the little ideas floating around in your head to become reality, and exactly how to put those pieces together. I struggled a little with this because I knew vaguely what I wanted, but not exactly how to execute it. I knew I wanted to take [...]
With everything going on in my personal life, I've really been delving deeper into aspects of the hobby as both a relief from my stress/anxiety and a treat to myself. You wouldn't believe (or maybe you would) how much it helps to have something that you can immerse yourself in. It's an escape of sorts, [...]
So for anyone who didn't see my previous post, I managed to get my grail doll off the second hand market at an affordable price. I was super excited not just for the chance to finally own a Soom Heliot, but for the project it was sure to be. Looking at the original pictures, I [...]
I think I mentioned before during the rerelease of Heliot (but with vampire teeth) that I absolutely adored the original unicorn sculpt. Unfortunately being a limited doll, there were slim chances that he'd ever be in my possession without paying a hefty price tag. Well, I'm elated to say that I'll soon be the owner [...]
