I do not need a new hobby ... I do not need a new hobby ...

Thanks to folks like laragoth, jola, and batty, I've been looking around the Den of Angels forum at all the pretty pretty dolls.

No, I am not about to take up the Dollfie/BJD habit. While they're EXTREMELY gorgeous, and it's fascinating to see what people do with their dolls in terms of repainting faces, wigs, and clothes, I'm still too addicted to buying clothes and makeup for me. ::grin::

But searching around on the web a bit has shown me a whole world of doll repaints. Like, Living Dead Doll repaints.












If I thought for one minute that I could create something as good as those, you better believe I'd try my hand at repainting Living Dead Dolls. But, I know that I don't have the skill (and steady hands!) to do that, and I'm betting I wouldn't be able to talk stroppy_baggage into repainting dollies for me.

But my goodness, they're all so pretty to look at.

Funny, I saw a handle in DOA that I said to m'self "Gee, that looks like it could be Batty"..

And you just made me realize that my hunch was likely right :)

Wow. World just gets smaller and smaller and smaller....

Holy crap!! Amazing...this post almost makes me get the doll thing.

But not quite.

Heh. That's exactly how I see it. :)

OMG. I need one of those repainted LDDs. Or I need to repaint one. I could *easily* make one look just like me. *heeee*

Ahem. You mean like this:



When I showed Pete that one last night, he said that from a distance he could have *sworn* it was a photo of you.

And yes, of *course* I want a repained LDD that looks like me.

Not quite accurate. I knew it was a doll, but I thought it was one modelled after Girlgoth.

Holy crap you're evil!

That's it. I simply *must* have one to repaint. I bet I could do it (not saying how *long* it would take).


*off to dig up paintbrushes*

Soooo, depending on how yours turns out, I may, erm, enquire as to what sort of bribe I would need to offer to get you to paint one for me ...


... oh come on, you knew I would say that! :-D

Wow! Those are impressive. Are the eyes in relief, or are they paint alone?
