Those Volks photo backgrounds look so fun!  Especially as I'm sitting here surrounded by crafting and woodworking scraps as I build my own set of photo stairs.... I should've just bought an airplane ticket....

Lol, but if you build your own (I mean this more as generic doll diorama things) you'll have fun doing it, and if you build it right you can use it in many different ways.

It's not too late. Hop on over! 😆 - Bonus: Dollpa is on Nov.30th and I-Doll on Dec.14th. 

Apart from that, have fun crafting. Looking forward to what you're going to come up with.

Here she is with her eyes in. She looks a lot more like Nikki, but I think her chest is too big and I’m not a fan of the new DDS 2.0 body 😕

What about the new body don’t you like? also I agree I was surprised by the size of her chest 😅 It feels large to me but I always preferred a smaller bust so maybe i’m just not used to a more full size. for now I’m going to keep her with the M size but I think I will end up getting her a S bust

We kind of got into it at the end of this thread, but basically the DD 2.0 and DDS 2.0 now share body parts, so it looks just like the DD, but shorter. @BeyondTime speculated that this was done to improve compatibility with different outfits between the two, and that's probably true since clothes for DD sometimes looked oversized on DDS, but the DDS used to have a distinct look that I found really charming, and it was their best body imo. Now it has bigger hips and thighs, and the balance just looks off to me, to the point that I'm having a lot of trouble bonding with Chikage/Nikki...

FYI, the DDS base body normally comes with the M bust (and fist hands, although that's not the case here), so it wasn't entirely unexpected, but I still don't like the look of it.

Wait, I thought the shorter legs were the only thing differentiating DDS 2.0 from DD 2.0? But yeah, apart from that, they have the same body line now.

I think from DD f3 to 2.0 its an improvement, but the design for DDS f3 was pretty well done and cute - it looses a lot of its individual charm in 2.0.

Have you tried your Chikage Head on one of your older DDS bodies? (Although they're all Semi-White.)

Oh yeah, you’re right, although I think the thighs are bigger since they have to fit the bigger holes in the torso now.

No, but it’s not just the body that’s the problem. I find her cheeks and jawline too big, and the slimmer neck exacerbates it. I’m also not sure the Nikki look is working for her, so I need to fiddle around with her wig and eyes a bit more. 

Merry Christmas, everyone!

With @OwlishBree asking about DDS Karin, that gave me a good enough reason to get off my ass and edit this photo set that I took last year at Volks Yokohama. - And in the process introduce to y'all properly: Eunie!

When the DDS 2.0 was teased last year and with it Karin's fate hanging in the balance, I decided to finally pick one up. I always thought she was cute, although her stock wig and eyes don't bring out her full potential. I was also playing with the idea of making a doll of Eunie from Xenoblade 3 and thought, the head shape and faceup are a pretty decent match for this. - So here we are:

As for how Eunie ended up outside of Aionios and instead hanging out with my crew, we'll figure that out some other time... 😝

 

Until next time!
