NABIYA by gardenofdolls Discussion thread~

[Keilee]

Thanks! We all had a lot of fun in the toy store that day. ^_^

So, I'm pretty excited - I took some time to work on Natasha last night. First off, gave her bangs a trim since they were a bit uneven. Then I decided to restring her - I used a thicker elastic in her legs plus sueded them with moleskin. Next I tightened the string in her arms and wired them. What an amazing difference. She stands solid as a rock now (she was already good at standing on her own, but now she feels more sturdy) and can even stand on one leg by herself. The wiring in her arms makes her very poseable and much better about holding poses. I'm very pleased with how well the mods came out. Next, I'm working on adding a bit to the faceup she came with - going to re-do her eyelashes, but in the meantime I've already added some pink on her cheeks and reddened up her lips - will add gloss once the MSC has had a chance to sit over-night. I'll post more pictures soon!

Wow, Keilee, that sounds awesome! Can't wait to see!

Here's some spam in the meantime --



I so love this pose. It was sort of a miracle that she stayed up.

[Keilee]

That's a great pose, I love her body language!

And thanks, here's a picture of Natasha after the touch-ups and such. (:

[pinkandyellow]

Wow, so pretty! Love those luscious lips.

[Keilee]

Thanks! ^_^

Chillaxing after a busy day... there was a crazy summer storm that lasted only a few minutes, but boy did it wipe Im out. She loves her job. I just wish I could have managed to get a few shots of her in it!

[Keilee]

Tell Im to send a storm our way, we could use some rain! ^_~

[lisaastrup]

Who is making this doll - I guess she is not made in US ?

I would like to buy outside US becurse of customs in Denmark and they take all parcels from USA.

[Raesha]

Garden of Dolls is in the US, yes. ^_^;;

[pinkandyellow]

New Im spam! She had fun outside today in the aftermath of some of her good work. Nice, wet storm. Just what we needed around here.

[elfqueenvik]

new clothes spam


time for tea

[pinkandyellow]

What a cute little tea set, elfqueenvik! And Delphinia's outfit looks lovely.

We definitely need more Nabiya spam up in here. Calling all Nabiya handlers -- spam moar!

[Bron]

I probably won't get her because she doesn't suit the style of the rest of my MSDs, the character I'd have in mind for her is very much a modern girl and the others are all fantastical and old-fashioned, but god I love her kissy face!!!!! I'd love this character, I have this thing about beauty queen teen idols and I can just see her being that sort of 'bitchy' no-nonsense teen. Can't you just see her pouting into a camera!

And I love she's available in light tan, I love that light tan and I wish more companies offered a similar coloured resin. The light tan thing makes this so much harder.

I'm going to look through some more and enjoy everyones pictures. Oh I wish I could just buy every doll I fancied, I hate being ruthless (when it comes to dolls anyway).

[pinkandyellow]

We need some human light tan spam! Quick, Zomboid! We must convince Bron! XD

[Ayas-Shadow]

Bron: Why couldn't you make a Nabiya a modern, bitchy girl if you wanted to? Just because all the others currently being shown are more sweet, or old fashioned, or fantasy based? Get your girl, and make her what you want her to be! I KNOW the sculpt can pull it off! And it'd be AWESOME to see a Nabiya that was more of a modern teen!

[Bron]

Oh no, I mean all of my other MSDs (5 if you count the incoming ones) are the same 'style' and live in the same sort of fantasy world, my 6th being a modern 21st century teen girl will look odd next to them. That's what I'm worried about

The only SD on my wants list I'm planning to have a similar modern style, but even then she'll look odd next to an iplehouse SD.

I just don't know how to make her fit ):

I'm sure the sculpt can pull it off too, she's young looking but has those sultry shaped eyes and of course the lips She screams trouble to me, in a good way.

All I can think is dressing her in runway couture type clothes, more ornate and outlandish. At least the ornate style will suit the others.

The more I think about it the more I want her though lol. Probably won't be for a while, I still have a doll in desperate need of finishing, and two more dolls on the way who will also need work as they're coming blank and whatnot. When they're done and I feel less guilty about spending more money on BJDs I'll seriously think about it then. In the meantime, I'll think about aesthetics and pick out potential eyes and wigs and inspirational couture.

[Zomboid]

Haha thank you for summoning me, pinkandyellow! I think Nabiya looks great in modern clothing, but maybe I'm biased with my Hachiko. She just got new rose-coloured eyes and a new wig from Luts. Have some light tan spam:

I don't have any other MSDs, but here she is with almost all of my dolls. I think she fits fairly good with my group!

I've been thinking more about her the past few days. I just know when my other dolly projects are complete I'm going to be quickly thinking about starting another, and she's going to be REALLY tempting for the next MSD. Which is bad!! How do I make her fit!!

Hachiko is beautiful. I really do have a thing about LT resin lol.

Well maybe I can pull her in using Renwick, she's old fashioned like the others but likes wearing leather trousers and platform boots. I think i'm working out a way to get her in my dolly family, which is also bad, why am I mentally buying more dolls haha.

[pinkandyellow]

Guh, Zomboid. Guh. Hachiko just keeps on getting more gorgeous. Im is sitting with me right now, and looking at her... it's so cool how entirely different she looks from Hachiko. Such a versatile sculpt.

[Bron]

It really is a versatile sculpt, I love seeing the very different things people have done with their Nabiyas.

I love Im's shiny eyes, they and her hair really suit her whole storm spirit thing. She looks like she could create lightening. She's seems young and tempestuous, like storm behaviour. And I love how attached you are to her! You two have a bond.
