Lucy Lovelace - DD Karin! - body get!

So, it feels like it has been so long since I was excited for a doll, and actually so into it that I wanted to do a box opening! In fact, it just feels like I really haven't had a doll in ages (which to be fair it has been a while now). Thus why I'm doing a box opening and gonna probably show off each item arrival till she's complete or at least in an outfit I like.

 

Anyways, onto the show!

 

 

It actually has been a long time since I saw a proper Volks box for a DD. I think my last few all came in used. So this is legitimately my first brand new doll in a long time. Also, Arcadia came to crash the show by sleeping on my Togainu no Chi pillow. XD

 

 

The box! Now this is an actual first for me; I've never owned a Standard DD. It seemed so strange somehow to me.

 

 

I'm not going to show her on a body because this one isn't mine! I'm not super into the DDS body so I decided to upgrade to a DD3 Single torso M bust body which hopefully I get some time this week!

But omg look at this face. She's such a cutie! I love the little bit of cat lip she has going on, and I really hope that she'll be able to translate to my feisty devil once I figure out a face-up artist!

 

 

Another angle. Sorry for the shaky shot in this one and the next. My hands were just not wanting to be still. I don't know what it is about her nose, I feel like it isn't anything special and yet I really like it.

 

 

Profile shot! I hadn't seen any of her so I decided to take one. I really like how her face is shaped in general and I think she has a lovely profile.

 

Anyways that's it for now. My next steps are to get her a body and then get her eyes and wig (wig is already here but I want the eyes with it). Hopefully all those items arrive soon enough and I can get her put together. I need to buy an outfit for her too, as the one I ordered apparently is going to take 2 months. Whoops.

 

I'll update this when I can! :3

 

Update!

 

I just got her body in today. I didn't do a box opening for the body because it was just a bunch of parts. Took me forever to put on those calve parts. I didn't realize how hard it'd be. XD

 

Either way I got her a DD3 M bust Single Torso body. Actually my first time dealing with a single torso. It doesn't pose great but omg does it look great. Now I just need eyes and her outfit to come in.

Okay. Congratulations, you made a Karin convert. THANK YOU first of all for getting plentiful shots of this lovely new sculpt! I was on the fence, but seeing her from more angles...sold. Karin is on my wishlist now.

 

Your Lucy is just too cute. What wig/eyes is she going to have? I hope her body arrives soon and you can have her all put together!

 

Thank you for sharing.

@Raine

 

I'm happy to hear I've managed to help you decide you want a Karin. I took a risk buying with few pictures with many angles, but I had a feeling that I would love her either way!

 

She's going to have red hair and yellow eyes. I have the wig but my friend hasn't shipped the eyes to me yet (so nice of her to give them to me!). The body will probably arrive Friday. I still don't have any clothing for her though! >,< I'm trying to buy something now. Hopefully it works out.

 

Thank you for commenting! I'm excited to see more Karins around! :3

Congratulations! ^_^ She has lovely face! Can't wait to see the rest! And I love Arcadia's face!

Karin is really cute. I considered buying her myself.

I hope you post some more pictures of her in the future.

Aww she's super cute Congratulations!

I really can't wait to see her finished, red hair and yellow eyes are some of my favorites She really does have a really well done sculpt, thanks for the angles. Glad to see you enjoying a new doll!

@Shailara

 

Thank you! I'm really excited to put her together. I just bought an outfit so soon enough! Arcadia just hates me whenever I take her picture. XD

 

@Skadi

 

She's really cute, and I would totally recommend her. I'll definitely post more, though sadly only with my cellphone.

 

@fifimoon

 

Thank you~!

 

@TheWhiteRabbit

They are some of mine too. I'm really hopeful that she'll look amazing. Only thing that won't change for a while is her face-up I think. I really like it, but it isn't the right expression. Thank you and you're welcome! It is nice to be back and excited about the hobby!

When you have to choice to buy either a new camera or a new doll, I guess most of us would do the same thing.

 

I don't plan to buy a new doll any time soon because I just ordered Luka.

I wonder how she looks like with other hair and eyes.

Interesting that you want to get a DD body for her because I considered using her on a DDP/Obitsu 48/50cm body.

@Skadi

 

Well I want a camera but I am just hopping back into the hobby so I'mma take my time. I only really had enough for her.

 

Congrats on your Luka! She's very cute. I'm sure she'll good great, though I would love to see that too. I've yet to see one with any sort of customization.

I did think about that, especially cause of her character. In the end though I decided on the DD M bust because it was the easiest to dress and I just wanted something simple for the time being. Maybe far out in the future I will consider changing it but for now I think this will work okay.

I don't plan to change Luka at all.

 

My idea with Karin was red eyes and black hair. But I'm not sure how good it would look on her.

Oh I thought you were referring to Luka! Luka is cute how she is, but I am actually curious to see customs. I love seeing them.

 

I think that'd work fine! I think the face-up would seem really sweet for that combination seeing it is a bit edgy, but could definitely work. Can always play with opposites.

Congrats and welcome Lucy! Thanks so much for taking pictures of her from different angles! I saw Karin in person before so I knew I already liked her, but it’s really helpful to have more reference images since everyone only seem to take pictures of her from the front. xD

@elianti

 

Thank you! And you are totally welcome. I did that on purpose cause I know people need more reference pictures. I know I would have liked it before taking the chance.
