Contemplating Characters

 Still playing with these 2 and contemplating how they might fit into the "Glade" world. While Leo isn't a redhead as I originally envisioned him, I still think he works well with my Elf Monica from RD.

And a bonus shot of Meridyn, my Elf Monica

Is Anyone Still Out There?

 Hello folks, I know it's been a while. Is anyone still out there? As typical of me, there have been ebbs and flows in my dolly collecting and I've gotten away from photographing my fantasy group of MSD dolls. I'd like to try and remedy that and start sharing more here again. I did get a new doll in recently, SartoriaJ's Elf Leonard. I'm hoping maybe he will spur me into taking some new photos and diving into my fantasy realm of characters a bit more again. Some pics of Tyghan. I'm not sure where he fits into my group, but I am quite enamored with this sculpt. I'm looking forward to photographing him more to see where he might fit in. So hopefully you will be seeing more updates here.

My greatest frustration with the SartoriaJ MSD sized men is their headsize. They seem to be a true size 6, which means most 5/6 wigs readily available pop off (even some of the SJ wigs I've gotten!) and most 6/7's are too big. The one Tyghan is wearing here is the best of the many wigs I've tried on him so far. It's a Jinsun (sp?) wig in size 6/7. Its the one he will keep for now until I can possible find something I like better for him. His lovely tunic is from my friend Robyn (Period Threads).

Hooded

 A new Sunday morning shot of Sabia, just because. In a beautiful gown by Robyne at Period Threads.

V'lane

 I've really neglected my BJD's the past couple of years, as I've found myself back in the 12" fashion doll world. I still do love my elven crew though, and need to make some more time to photograph them again. With SartoriaJ's release of elves this month, I've been inspired to play again, and took the time to get V'lane out for some new photos. 

V'lane has come into his own a bit since I finally found some eyes and a wig that work for him.  I haven't figured out his place in my elven world, but I am finally quite pleased with is look.

I really need to get back to thinking about the Glade stories, and photographing the crew more.

Grayson and Shy

 Just a few new shots of Grayson and Shy.

Glenna

 Another new character for the Glade world arrived a couple of months ago. I haven't done much with her yet, not sure where exactly she is going to fit in, but her look came together rather well. She is a SartoriaJ Elf Juliet, and I have named her Glenna.

She's definitely got a strong, fiery personality.

Whoever is doing SartoriaJ's face ups these days is really doing a bang up job. Her face paint really is just stunning.

Now I just need to figure out where she fits in. Most of my elves are very light skinned, grey or normal, with the exception of Koehlon who is milk mocha. 

She needs a bit more camera time to figure her out I suppose.

Alicent

 I ordered Alicent when SartoriaJ was having a sculpt discontinuation back in the spring. I wasn't sure what part she would play in the Glade world and I'm still not, but I've been having a good time with her getting to know her a bit. I started out with Masterpiece Maeve Eclipse eyes in her, but wasn't totally satisfied with them.

I do like this wine wig I bought with her from SartoriaJ for her though.

I named her Alicent as I was watching House of the Dragon on HBO Max during the time she arrived and she reminded me quite a bit of the Alicent character in that show, so the name stuck.

This morning I decided to change her eyes out to Thundercloud gray, also by Masterpiece and I think they suit her much better.

Now that I've finally settled on her look, I just need to figure out who she is in relation to the rest of the Glade world.
