Keripo Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) Intro: A few years back, I came across an anime called "Shingetsutan Tsukihime". I really liked it and was surprised when I heard bad reviews about it, referring to it doing a poor job in representing the original visual novel. And so I tried out the original "Tsukihime" VN, and that was the start of my TYPE-MOON fandom ^_^ Fast forward to last year, where I started figure collecting and using MyFigureCollection. While surfing around, I happened to come across this picture, a modified DD Tamaki that somewhat looked like Arcueid. Fast forward a year to a month ago, I decided to get started on my own custom Arcueid during my vacation to Japan. And thus, this project was born ^_^ Character: Arcueid Brunestud, White Princess of the True Ancestors, mai waifu ^_^ Original design: New design: TYPE-MOON Wikia info Arcueid Brunestud (アルクェイド・ブリュンスタッド) Birthday: December 25 Height: 167cm Weight: 52kg Three sizes: B88/W55/H85 Hair color: Blond Eye color: Red/Gold (Mystic Eyes activated) My visual description: Blonde short hair with unique folds and two antenna hair Red cat eyes with Takeuchi-style eyelashes Average height but with large bust White turtleneck sweater Long purple skirt (original) / short dark blue skirt (redesign) Dark gray/black pantyhose Black high heels (original) / long dark brown boots (redesign) An air of dignity, yet playfulness Parts: Body: Volks' DD Base Body III (originally from Volk's Aoi Ver 2) Bust: Volks' DDIII-B-04 L Shapely Bust (Normal) Head: Volk's DDH-07 Faceup: Custom commission by jadepixel Wig: Volk's DDS Akira wig Eyes: Twin Snow's CAC02 Cat Collection / 24mm Top: CoolCat's DAN-10-1 Top Outfits W/Hot Fix Rhinestone # White without rhinestones Skirt: Custom commission by jadepixel (original) / Volk's Sailor Uniform (Navy) skirt (redesign) Legs: CoolCat's DDP-02N Pantyhose / Thin Black Shoes: Volk's High Heels / Black (original) / CoolCat's LS-14 Leather Long Boots #Brown (redesign) History: See Flickr for my latest photosets and Keripo's Corner for my latest blog posts. 2013/05/21: Custom DD conceptualization viewtopic.php?f=21&t=7284 2013/06/01: Dollfie Dream Aoi Ver 2 base body and black high heels, bought from Akihabara's Volk's store http://www.flickr.com/photos/keripo/sets/72157634081519055/ 2013/06/18: Arcueid V0 head only, waiting for outfit parts from CoolCat viewtopic.php?f=13&t=7512#p113919 2013/06/29: Arcueid V0 (redesign ver.) complete, need to sew purple skirt for original ver. viewtopic.php?f=13&t=7512&start=10#p115479 2013/06/30: Arcueid V0 (original ver.) complete, on to V1! viewtopic.php?f=13&t=7512&p=115549#p115549 2014/04/06: Arcueid V1 complete~ viewtopic.php?f=13&t=7512&p=144762#p144762 ~Keripo Edited April 14, 2014 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Congrats on such a cute girl! Thanks! It all started as an impulse thought, but I think I've gotten sucked into Dollfie Dreams far more than I expected ^_^ You combined everything nicely, she looks amazing. Good job Hold that comment til after I'm done the actual outfit xD (most of it is actually in mail from CoolCat except the purple skirt, but I will have all the outfit parts for the new design) ~Keripo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keripo Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) Update 2013/06/29 - Arcueid V0 (redesign ver.) complete - Volks - DDH-07 pre-painted head - Volks - DDS Akira wig - Volks - 22mm Animetic Eyes / H Type / Madder Red (AKANE) - CoolCat - 【DAN-10-1】Top Outfits W/Hot Fix Rhinestone # White (without Rhinestones) - Volks - Sailor Uniform Set (Navy) (skirt) - CoolCat - 【DDP-02N】DD／DY Pantyhose # Thin Black - CoolCat - 【LS-14】Leather Long Boots（SD／DD）# Brown See for all photos: CoolCat shipment arrived, so now I've gotten all the parts needed for finishing the new/redesigned Arcueid outfit (can't finish the original since lacking a long purple skirt). I'm also reverting back to using the Volk's animetic eyes since the 24mm Twin Snow ones are just way too big. Takeuichi's redesigned Arcueid for the Tsukihime remake: Redesigned outfit: More colourful background: In her Carnival Phantasm bikini (and carrying the PVC figure version xD) The DDIII body isn't really elegant for bikinis, I must say Going to try to find some purple cloth tomorrow for making a makeshift purple skirt so I can finish Arcueid V0 (original ver) before moving on to Arcueid V1... ~Keripo Edited July 1, 2013 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keripo Posted July 1, 2013 Update 2013/06/30 - Arcueid V0 (original ver.) complete - Volks - DDH-07 pre-painted head - Volks - DDS Akira wig - Volks - 22mm Animetic Eyes / H Type / Madder Red (AKANE) - CoolCat - 【DAN-10-1】Top Outfits W/Hot Fix Rhinestone # White (without Rhinestones) - Custom - long purple skirt - CoolCat - 【DDP-02N】DD／DY Pantyhose # Thin Black - Volks - High-Heeled Shoes Black See for all photos: Went to the fabric store and bought some purple fabric. Used some safety pins to put together a temporary skirt. Will try my hand at hand sewing it properly later when I get the time. Note the colours look a bit odd in these photos since my camera captured the purple cloth as blue, so I had to use Photoshop to correct the skirt's hue. The last photo (natural lighting) shows a more accurate colour. Original outfit complete! Full body: Imitating my favourite Arcueid PVC figure: Ohaidere: (DD pointy nipples too pointy, need to sand them down later ; /) ~Keripo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
