Of course I wasn't really dead at all, unless you count my zombie on Facebook...

Wow. She is absolutely gorgeous. I can't get over the genius of your jointing, either. I know it's also only a matter of time before you devise a way to make those elbow joints just as complicated and beautiful as your knees. *lusts*
I wish I had just a fraction of your skill.

The current elbow design belongs to Donn Kinney, but is used with permission. The knees... I borrowed that design from Araki Gentaro's Unon, but without asking. The hip is all my design though, I am proud of that little effort;)

And you do have skill, it's just a matter of having time and energy to work on your dolls.. and not getting hideously sick from the resin etc. I have started using a respirator now, even when I am sanding, although I still lick my fingers to smooth the clay.. so we'll see how long before my health fails because of Apoxie and Magic Sculpt clog up my system.

I might recommend keeping a moist sponge nearby to keep you from having to lick those resin-y fingers... as for safety gear, I've got a full-body hazard suit and full-face respirator now, but don't have the workshop setup with ventilation or a place to store those things once they start to be used, so I wait. . . I have a very special friend who has offered to set me up with a ventilation system, but mom & dad want me in a (currently nonexistent) shed in the back, not in the garage, so again, I wait ( ... )

Excellent, glad I have piqued your interest XD. That's all the photos I've got for the time being though. Next lot will be grey primer and then hopefully soon a cast of uniform colour.

Oh god, that face of hers is just too gorgeous... as well as those legs, and hands, and body, and..

Just wow ;___;

Just when I thought I was over these dolls, you have to go and make something beautiful!

I think the idea of "being over" them goes in cycles. Day-to-day, week-to-week, my feelings towards my dolls and dolls in general certainly varies.

I'm glad you like her, especially excited that you like the face;) Thank you for your compliments!!

Wow, she's gorgeous! :O Is there any chance of being able to get just the body? She looks perfect for a future Minimee I was pondering, esp. if you do a smaller bust plate.

Thank you!! I don't think I'll be selling just bodies or just heads, but I will make the skintones for the general edition compatible with Minimee, regular NS and some sort of beauty white.

Oh she is gorgeous!(as I knew she would be!) How soon can we look forward to ordering one of these? (or rather, how long do I have to save?)

Also, extra bust parts = love!

She won't be limited so there's no hurry and scramble to save. I can't say exactly when she will be available either, because I don't know, but it should be this year, and hopefully by summer.
