AerisAquata Posted September 19, 2012 After waiting and waiting and waiting, my girl finally got here on the 18th! It still feels a bit unreal to have her with me after all this time. I've decided to go with Evelyn for her name. It sounds a lot like 'Avalon' and there's a song I love called DSC00027 by AerisAquata, on Flickr DSC00033 by AerisAquata, on Flickr I got both of her outfits as well, but I haven't taken a picture of her in her swimsuit yet.

Nekopon Posted September 19, 2012 Congrats on Alter being your first girl! I love the name Evelyn for her, it suits her well! Your pictures make her look so pretty. :3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Poofiemus Posted September 19, 2012 Congratulations! She's so gorgeous, and you're right, the wings do suit her, though why I can't put my finger on yet. (Maybe she's got a backstory she hasn't told you yet?) I think you get the award for "Most Patience" and/or "Most Willpower", because I think you're the only one here who managed not to adopt another girl while waiting for your Saber! It's great she's finally home though, and that she accepted a name right away. In this household, sanity is considered a tresspasser. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AerisAquata Posted September 19, 2012 Congrats on Alter being your first girl! I love the name Evelyn for her, it suits her well! Your pictures make her look so pretty. :3 Thanks~ It's the lighting. All of these pictures are lit with nothing but sunlight, and I didn't even run them through photoshop. Congratulations! She's so gorgeous, and you're right, the wings do suit her, though why I can't put my finger on yet. (Maybe she's got a backstory she hasn't told you yet?)

It's great she's finally home though, and that she accepted a name right away. Thanks! I think I just get the award for "Least Amount Of Money." She was a gift for graduating high school.

baldylox Posted September 20, 2012 Wow.... it HAS been forever since you ordered her! I'm really happy for you tho since I know you've been very patient in waiting for her to arrive. Congrats on finally getting her home, she looks really great in these pics, especially that first one. So what's it like having your first DD in hand? Is she like you thought or different? I always enjoy hearing what people think after getting their first DD home. Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop.

Billy Thank you~ Like I said earlier, the lighting in this house is amazing. I took those pictures in front of a door with a bunch of glass panels that let in the sunlight quite nicely. The first picture is definitely my favorite too! It still seems a bit bizarre that she's finally here and I can't get over how big she is! Photos never really give them justice. Her box was gigantic too! I actually had a bit of trouble trying to dress her the first time. Her parts kept getting detached on accident, and her feet still keep popping off when I take off her boots or her socks! I accidentally detached her torso trying to zip up her dress for the first time, and when I put her wig on, I got a bunch of her bangs stuck under the cap.

I took those pictures in front of a door with a bunch of glass panels that let in the sunlight quite nicely.The first picture is definitely my favorite too! I'll say! For no additional light source, that one is excellent. It has such a nice feel and warmth to it. Great job! It still seems a bit bizarre that she's finally here and I can't get over how big she is!Photos never really give them justice. Her box was gigantic too! THAT is actually what I was thinking you were going to say! I was the same way with Manami when she arrived. I knew how tall 2 feet was but it does no good seeing that with a ruler. When she arrived it was like WHOA! I figured you would be the same way. I actually had a bit of trouble trying to dress her the first time. Her parts kept getting detached on accident, and her feet still keep popping off when I take off her boots or her socks!I accidentally detached her torso trying to zip up her dress for the first time, and when I put her wig on, I got a bunch of her bangs stuck under the cap. That happens to us all, regardless of how intricate the clothing is! Dressing and undressing them the first few times is all trial and error but you'll get the hang of it soon. You'll learn her ins and outs and be able to do changes super quick in time. Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop.

Innocentsake Posted September 20, 2012 I had no idea that Alter was going to be and is your first DD girl! Many congratulations to you for your patience in waiting for her Haha and I know how you feel about how big they are! Before Momoko arrived in my life I would keep forgetting how big they were so when I would get things in the mail for her & Saber I would be like "Whoa!" My husband still makes fun of me for that~ You took some really beautiful pictures of her and I can't wait to see more! Looks like we both have to get cracking on taking pictures hehe.
