Welcome Home

Hello, everybody, once again for my first DD head since my leave a year or so back. I didn’t think I’d be here again but, I’m trying my best to take things slowly with this hobby instead of spending money like crazy! Just trying to get essentials and let things that can wait, wait. ^^”

But, without further ado, let’s get to the new arrival!

---

Why hello, box! Who might be inside you, hmm?

---

Nicely bubble-wrapped and sealed with love + protection!

Well, it’s no one else but Konomi! Hi!

I bought her from creationdss87 on a one month layaway plan (she arrived at her new home with me on July, the 2nd). Konomi didn’t come with her original eyes but with some WDS eyes. I decided not to put them into her head yet as I had ordered some other eyes as well in the mail from HK. I received those as well. They are very nice but just don’t feel 100% right for me (or her for that matter, haha~). I hope to test out more eye shapes on her and whatnot once I save up for her body! Hopefully, I can purchase one by the end of this month or at least, by the middle of next month! Things are getting kind of hectic this year for me but I’m trying to push through!

Thank you everyone for taking a look at my new addition! For now, I’ve come to conclude that her name is Suki (pronounced like the American nickname Sookie; not pronounced like ski). When I was looking at her, I was happily just playing around with words and said one that was Suki and it seemed to click. ^^”

Anywho, here is one last picture of her on top of her tissue layered bed with the eyes that creations generously provided!

Hope you guys have a nice day and thank you again for stopping by!

Suki has a charming little smile! Can't wait to see her all done the way you want her.

Thank you so much! Plan for her to be on a MDD3 S Bust body but am still unsure on eye and hair color. x3

I tend to lean towards purple and pink eyes but I know I won't like it if all my girls have that. I like variety.

Aw! Congrats, Her head sculpt is super cute, she will be a cutie once you put her together for sure.

She has a cute smile looking forward to seeing her with her new eyes

I absolutely love that face model, mind sharing which one Suki is using?

Thank you! I hope I can find some that fit her nicely. Eyes and wigs can sometimes be difficult to get just the way you want them. x3

It says her sculpt/model in the post before I even say her new name deary. Her sculpt/model name is Konomi, Konomi Yuzuhara from 2Heart. I’m glad you love her face! She was one of my grails!

Oh sorry, not sure why I was thinking you were referring to the character. A bit of a "duh" moment heh. Can't wait to see her all done up! ^^

You’re fine! We all make mistakes from time to time. No worries. Thank you so much! I can’t wait either!

Suki is so cute! I don't see a lot of Konomi girls, so I am looking forward to how she will look in the end. I hope you will find proper eyes and wig for her. I have had some of my girls for a long time, and I still haven't found "the wig" for them.

Thank you x2! Konomi can be one tough gal to find. I remember when I was more active in the past that I couldn't find her for the longest time. Saw another one on Mandarake the other day randomly, which honestly surprised me. But, I have my own Konomi now and helped out a fellow DD user here by purchasing her, which makes me glad.

I really do hope I can find those and I definitely understand! Wigs and eyes seem to be hard to come to a conclusion on sometimes if you don't already like their default look. x3

Oh, that is so nice that you were helping someone out in the process of buying her.

 

I always liked Konomi, but I only could really find pictures from Volks. I saw a few owner pictures, but usually they had kept her very similar to her default look. That is why I am so excited to see what you decide to do with her, since you don't have her original wig and eyes.

 

Do you know what color of wig and eyes you are thinking of?

Mhmm. Always is a nice feeling~

I've seen a custom on Flickr but yeah, I agree. Not many owner pictures of Konomi, which I think is pretty sad. She's really a very soft and sweet kind of sculpt. She fits the MDD look well, in my opinion. ^^ I'm glad you are excited! I hope I can come up with something that fits her~

Nah, as I've told galatia9, I'm still unsure on eye and hair color. Both eyes that I have so far right now are blue and I'm not really feeling it too much for her. I seriously am a sucker for purple or pink eyes but I can't have all my girls have them as I like variety and it would bug me. x3 I just plan on buying a range of color & style of eyes from Volks along with her MDD3 body and testing everything. Hopefully then, I'll at least know a style of eye that fits her and a color that fits her as well. As for a wig, I really would like maybe some pastel kind of color but if a certain eye color works on her that looks best with more of a natural toned wig, then I'll get the natural tone. I'd like to stay away from black, if at all possible, since, for me, black is more for a darker kind of character or a serious/loner style character and I don't want my Suki to be that way as she is just too sweet for that. Lastly, as for the style of wig, I'd love to try twintails on her, and possibly a ponytail/side-pony. But honestly, if something just looks really good on her, I'm happy.

Based on how she looks (unless you were going to get a custom face up) I feel like maybe pink would go really well with her. But if you like purple a lot too, maybe there is an eye out there somewhere that has like a gradient of pink and purple. And I think that a pastel pink wig would look really cute on her too.

 

I like the ponytail idea. I looked at some wigs on Leekeworld, and I thought this one would look cute with her: http://en.leekeworld.com/product/w118e/448/?cate_no=55&display_group=1 for some reason I saw her with curls/waves instead of straight hair.

I've kind of learned, in general, that I do not like getting custom face-ups on limited heads, so I don't plan on doing that (again). A pastel pink wig may look good on her but we will just have to see how the eyes pan out first (I seem to like getting the eyes down first before choosing a wig ^^"; also, others have gone with pink on her and it doesn't seem to be my thing; kind of going for a semi-mature look as I don't want her to look like she is 5 years old or younger x3).

My apologies, but the wig is not for me and I am trying my best to stay away from purple/pink eyes for now. Having two girls, or more, have around the same eye color feels like it would really bug me (but maybe that'll change >///<). In the end though, I just want to decide these things on my own without outside influence.

But, all that aside, I really do thank you for taking the time to think of me and for checking out my new girl. It means a bunch!

Oh no problem at all. It was fun to look at stuff for a doll that isn't my own, I did not really expect you to like it. It would have been a surprise if you did, haha.

 

You have two girls? I don't remember seeing another thread where you got a girl that will be having pink/purple eyes? Or was it a thread where you mentioned upcoming dolls that you wanted... I don't remember seeing that, but if you have a link I'd like to read it. I only remember where your boyfriend had gotten something.

 

I also don't like my dolls to have things that are very similar. If they have the same base color eyes or hair, I try to make it a different shade of that color. So I understand that you would want your dolls to have differences.

I just said two as an example since, in the future, I do want all the DDs on my wishlist. I don’t have another for myself yet. ^^” Sorry for the confusion.

Glad you understand though and that we agree on the dolls having similar colors not being our thing. x3
