I got kits of this dude posted over on my Ko-Fi, they were designed by AelithArt and served as inspiration for my Runway Rodent: ReAnimated mod.

I included the option to have white "bone" parts or just single color. You can find the listing for them here.

These make great beginner BJD since being a kit it allows you to string the doll and do a little cleanup if you choose to. 🤗

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

This outfit started with the tights, which I'd originally made for the Francie outfit, but they weren't quite right for it. The fabric is very stretchy, so I decided to try them on a DCSHG body--with its relatively large feet and really long legs--and the fit was really good. So! Made the dress to go with the tights. The lace and trim all came from my scrap bag.

I got these rainbow high shoes for the Moniques: Verveine and Verlaine but they're for flat feet. The beach rainbow high? The junior dolls? Thanks to @cosmomoore and venivididolli: they are masquerade Mckeyla's boots

Either way, big feet Cali Lea was on hand and they fit perfectly, she can even stand alone. Maybe that opens possibilities for beach barbies to get shoes?

Please excuse the chihuahua hair everywhere, Talia is shedding her winter coat and I've not been well enough to do the daily heavy brushings.

wig

Decided to make a super long wig for my SmD (mostly inspired by my Bratz x Mowalola dolls except way longer lol)

Mullet wig from Taobao to serve as the base:

Removed almost all of the wefts in the back with my seam ripper and replaced them with matching 31" wefts (Jennifer serving as the mannequin as per usual) 31" was the longest I could find, otherwise I would have gone even longer! I also doubled up most of the wefts to make sure it would be thick enough to make an impact

The wig is so long that I had to attach jennifer's head to a tripod in order to flat iron the new wefts lol

Success!!!

I also flat ironed the remaining wefts to use an extension, because even 31" isn't as long as what I saw in my head when planning this look lol

This Hasbro Marvel Rising Secret Warriors Patriot originally had bright blue glove hands. Now, there's a lot of weirdness with the doll's body design, but the bright blue glove hands were what put it over the edge into unacceptable for me, so he'd been in the To Customize box for a while.

Last night (when I was falling asleep), I realized that the Moana hands @queenofsquids had sent (thanks!) just might be a good size and skin tone match. Not perfect, but good, and better than I thought I'd ever find.

I had to clip off the nubs at the ends of the wrist pegs, and drill out the forearms + heat them in boiled water, to get everything to work together. Even with the skin tone mismatch, I like them! The stylization matches much better than any action figure hands would have.

Also, I just discovered that this pair of Rainbow High guy shoes fit the weird short broad feet on this body really well, too.

cable management? she doesn't care, she's got it under control.

another monster high robot girl custom. this time the recipe is one elle eedee + some transformer wings and gundam bits. she is from 2022, though i did some repainting before taking these photos because i just might have had 16 projects on my desk and 67 on my mind when i first made her & the paint job felt quite unfinished.

[there is never a time when i don't have 16 projects on my desk and 67 on my mind, but i do try to have the patience to see all of them through eventually.]
