Obitsu 60HD-F03 - HOLD

Still no camera -___- . I will probably be investing in my own when I can raise the funds. I've been spoiled by relying on my friend's camera but since I have need of a camera at all times I think I need a good digital SLR of my own.

Today I am refreezing a commission head so I can do more mods on it. I will explain about freezing vinyl heads for modding in a later post about that head. So erm, to relax I painted this head I've had sitting around for a month. I should be working on more commissions but honestly 1/6 scale realistic styled heads really stress me out when it comes to commissions so I will break them out after I finish Asuka who arrived first in the mail.

This head I painted is the much overlooked Obitsu 60HD-F03. I don't see her around much. Usually the more realistic Obitsu sculpts steal the show and when it is a more anime looking head, the designer head is popular. The default 50cm head is also around a bit because it is the default head and the new princess head has been spotted too. This poor obscure head gets no love but it's all about to change! Take a look ladies and gents!

A fiercely cute redhead!

Friends on Forums

As you guys know, I am going through a rough time. My friends are very supportive and I am happy to say that even though I have only joined the doll community a few months ago, I have found some very wonderful ppl. I received two different packages from ppl I met through the doll community containing gifts.

The first package is from Spears. She is the owner of Feng Pei who was actually my first completed commission. This is what I found...

Isn't it wonderful? She sent me a Japanese style table and some cake & cookies she made herself! If you click on the picture you can even see the cake crumbs she made on the plates. So detailed. All the happy face cookies really did cheer me up when I saw them. This is actually the first doll furniture and food I own. Thanks so much!

The second package was from cirquemom who I met on the Dollieh Sanctuary form. She is one of the senior members and has a lot of experience. When she mentioned she had a free Obitsu head to give away, I jumped at the chance and happened to be the first one to respond. Of course I only expected one head but this is what I found...

!!! Three heads and one of them is a resin head. I was flabbergasted. She didn't even ask me to pay for shipping. Look! There is a big painted eye head for me to play with. It's such a cute sculpt. It is the 60HD-F06W which is a lot cuter in shape than the 60HD-F01. The great thing about this head is that you can purchase it separately in Normal Skin unlike the F01! I think with such a cute shape I have to do a cute cute girl with huuuuge eyes. Maybe she will be a fox spirit. ( I didn't take a photo but htere is a very cute little obitsu elephant on the back of her head)

The other Obitsu head is the default 50cm head which I've been very curious about. It is very similar to the Designer head except that the eyes are different shapes. I was surprised to see it was so much smaller than the 60cm heads. Here's a pic with a blank Gretel head for comparison. (that isn't Cerise but I might mod her to be a sleepy eyed Cerise.)

Tiny right? It is really MSD sized. It has a cute :3 face. I wonder if the designer head is like that too. It seems I might have a devilish nekomimi in this one ^__^.

The last head is a resin SD sized girl head from ledolls.com I think. Limited Edition Dolls. I can't find any info about her but her sculpt name Bridget is engraved in the back of her head. She has a very sweet gentle face. I wrote Cirquemom to be sure there wasn't a mistake and she told me to feel free to reface her!!!

So yes a lot of very nice things have happened! Oh and yes, I was runner up in the Junky Spot Mini-me contest! So unexpected. My favorite to win did win as well! Check out Trethowan's awesome entries here. My favorite is the lying down one. I'm not sure what I won but I'm excited!

Junky Spot Newsletter

I made it onto the Junky Spot newsletter! I remember when I got my first newsletter, I thought it would be nice to be on the side bar since Emory will post pics from the forum to show what ppl do with dolls they purchase from him. I just never really considered that I might be on it.

I'm right there with the cute chibi Ivan!

I'm not affiliated with the store in any way. I just purchase my Obitsus from Emory because it's cheaper than anywhere else I can find, besides which Emory is super nice. A link to the newsletter is here.

Another reason to order from JS besides the shipping and free candy is that Emory gives away free stuff every week in a picture contest. Of course since he runs a store, you can only enter pictures of dolls you buy from JS. You can see some pretty awesome contest entries on the JS Facebook. I haven't entered that many but mainly because I don't have time. It's also pretty hard to win because there are very talented ppl out there so sometimes I am scared away. I will however attempt to enter more of them.

First half of July

Phew! July's been such a bomb. So many terrible things have happened including a minor physical assault ( I walked away with a few bruises but it's still disruptive and makes you feel bad. I didn't start it obviously.) and my dad getting really sick. He has been sick for a while and is undergoing chemo so of course there are complications. I hope the rest of July and the summer will be better.

So on to better things. I have many things to show but as usual I am behind on taking photos and blogging. I made a mini-me or rather two..kinda, to enter the JunkySpot contest for an awesome Doll Leaves doll. I was late to enter cause of stuff that came up and I ended up throwing stuff together two hours before the contest ended. I literally snapped a few photos and quickly composited in Photoshop between 10PM - 12AM last night. Things happen and in the end a contest is not very important. It was still fun to do and I see a bunch of mistakes in these that I didn't notice before but that's ok. I'll fix it later if ppl really mind.

So here are the three little obitsu faces painted on the 21HD-01N. Cute right? My friends all say the third one looks the most like me lol. I tried to make the mouths big and plump but still keep a nice balance to the face.


This Junky Spot poster is my favorite out of the bunch. I think you guys can tell why. I love the baby bitsus. Not very clean photoshop but on limited time that's to be expected.

Not my favorite. but bitty bitsu is sitll cute! Chie looks a bit weird though. She's my newest girl and hasn't had a proper shoot yet. She's on a 25cm body. She doesn't look like me because she isn't supposed to. There's no way I could fit my lips on an Obitsu sculpt anyway lol.

I made both of the little white dresses for the girls and my mom made the white dress I'm wearing for me a loooong time ago when I was 19.


Lol. Kinda hokey but lil invie looks like she wants a hug. Can you tell I don't live anywhere with a good view? I would have taken the picture in a nicer setting but since I was doing this all in my basement at night, this is what you get. I had to drop the background out since the ceiling is literally three inches above my head and it doesn't look good.


I'm embarrassed by the last two and I don't like them that much but I'll just throw them up. Shame be damned. Oh so photoshoppey with gradients lol. It is a nice picture of Chie though. I like the colors in the lighting.



I will do a better post about Lil' Invie and Chie with better photos. I hope everyone enjoyed these though.

Last Weekend NYC Doll Meet

Before this weekend starts, I just wanted to do a quick post about last weekend and the weekend before. I know, I'm so late.

So there was a bigger doll meet two weeks ago on Saturday that I was able to make. Usually I am not available because of familial duties but I was able to get there before everyone left. I brought my friend David this time since he is interested in minatures and such. There were a lot more dolls and the site was really nice. Here are pics of the ones that stood out. I didn't take that many photos because I was actually a bit overwhelmed and since I'm a bit shy, I was afraid to talk to ppl about their dolls. Trust me, there were some really cool dolls there.

Yes, the eyes really are glowing. There are LEDs in there and the owner wasn't around so I took photos lol.

Besides these I was able to get my grubby paws on a 5 star Aiden. The resin is really interesting in that it is super smooth to a shiny level and it is translucent. The one problem with this is that hybrids will be hard, but the doll was really cute irl. I believe the doll belonged to a girl named Eve but I'm not 100% sure.

I also want to post a little sneak peek at a new addition. I picked him up last weekend on Saturday and spent a nice hour or two with Jennifer (awesome person I bought him from) at Kinokuniya, the Japanese bookstore in NYC.


Not a very good photo, I know but he's so tiny it was really hard to focus the shot. Plus I has no tripod.

And lastly but not least, a shot of JunkySpot goodness. I got the 11cm obitsu of course and get ready for a mini me! (I have a character I call Lil' Wini, my alter ego who I will introduce here but this is not the same thing. Lil' Wini has a series of little cartoons of her that need to be drawn.)


See all the goodies? Thank you Emory!

Ok, to time go. Have an awesome 4th of July everyone.
