#BJD Characters

I don’t tell people this because I don’t want to seem like a crazy cat lady AND crazy doll lady all in one… but my dolls represent my cats if they were human. Their human sonas if you will.

So two questions, one why does our wind up girl hate the material she's made of and two has elenore ever tried to patch up her eye?

And as for Eleanor...

Somewhere in an overlooked corner lies a secret garden. Le Jardin de Poupées is both a doll sanctuary as well as a fun place for them to hang out!

This portrait is of a doll named Lorelai. A more recent resident, she spends most of her time alone—strolling throughout the forgotten areas of the garden. Lorelei was a doll that was originally commissioned by someone in the likeness of their lover, and at the couples’ passing was left to wander the world. She enjoys romance novels, daydreaming, and cats. She also hopes, more than anything, that she can soon make a special friend!

Decided to change Amaya’s outfit finally after she’s been sitting in an outfit I just didn’t like as much as I figured I would for months ahaha…

Really need to face the facts that she is a tomboy and prefers the streetwear looks her brothers usually sport lmao.

Been in this hobby for 15 years, and if there's one thing I know, it's that way too many people have a stick up their ass about people who buy 70cm size boys and dress them up "like girls."

Back in the day, people who were doing this were often female j-rock/visual kei fans and closeted trans people, and they would whine about girls liking girly-looking men, for absolutely no reason that could be explained in a way that wasn't transphobic or homophobic.I remember going to a doll meet as a teen and having someone look at my doll, disappointed. "oh... you're one of those *girls* who dresses up her boy dolls like *women.*" We were stereotyped as bitchy, catty people who would scream at you if you misgendered our dolls, and I still see people reducing us to that all the time.

I noticed when I post my more gender-conforming dolls on r/bjd, they do much better than my more visibly trans/gender nonconforming dolls. I am a good enough photographer to do it for a job, and pretty good faceup artist, so I'm used to my dolls doing pretty well on that subreddit. Today, I posted my very obviously transfemme doll. I got the notification that she got 50 upvotes. When I went to the post, she only had 15. It's lovely to know that 50 people upvoted my doll, but not so lovely to know that my doll made *that* many people think, "oh, ew" enough to downvote her. This isn't the first time it's happened, either.

I probably wouldn't have made a confession or that big of a deal out of this if I thought it was just that they didn't think my dolls were that great, but knowing the rampant transphobia and the amount of bitchy people who cry about "keeping politics out of dolls..." I know the fuck why it got downvoted so much.

But try as you might, you'll never be free of us <3 trans people and even just those who dare to use dolls as a way to explore gender expression will always be the creative backbone of this community, making the coolest doll concepts out there.

Yesterday I finally took some photos of Caspar and the raven. I decided to show Caspar as a fighter. He's skilled with daggers and sabre. He's a wanderer so he has to protect himself from villains and dangerous creatures. He also has a mysterious guardian - a raven watching him from afar. That raven has metallic shiny feathers and ruby eyes. Caspar doesn't know why the bird follows him but somehow he feels the raven's not evil.

I have to say it's very tricky to find decent props at a good price. Since I couldn't find 1/4 scale daggers, I had to use some metal charms. The miniature replica of Polish sabre from 1921 looks much better, though it's too heavy for the doll to wield it. The raven's also too small for my boy. I suppose the perspective can do the trick in the photos. I customised the bird a little. I used copper antique paste on its feathers and painted the eyes ruby red. Well, it's actually more magenta but since natural rubies do have such hue, I guess it's OK. Nevertheless, I like how it all turned out.

Even with jointed hands I have trouble thinking of poses 😭😭 this is Vaeril, he's my other elf character

[tohakumaru]

it's tuesday and work has been unpleasant so i made a pouch for the nomad to carry its trinkets.

as with all the bird-people, trading is most important for the nomad. there is a formula for the price (of course, even a mystic market have rules). here's an excerpt from the 37 page document detailing the laws of bird-commerce, for reference:

"... laughs for scraps, bones for stones and a minute of your time for an eternity in the stars"
