derpy tried to photobomb but she tripped before she got in front of the camera

I'm beginning to love ImageReady more and more each day.

Just a picture of Toothless (and his fish!) in another pose.

_{...and of course his tail can grow back! He's clearly somewhat axolotl-y and they're tops at re-growing things! XD}

This is my first tutorial, so if I made any mistakes or you have any questions, just ask! I'll be glad to correct or add anything.
This is my first bjd, and I'm so excited to make stuff for her, and this is my first! I'll be posting more tutorials as I make stuff, and post tons of lovely pictures of my lovely doll! And by the way, can I have ideas for names for her? I don't have a clue what to name her. Thanks for viewing!

Uh, shit. Remember this guy? D:

Man, it's been what, nearly two years? Long story short, college, certain physical/mental issues, figuring out what I want to do with my life post-college, general revelations about how to be a more fully realized human being, life rambles, growing pains, etc, have all been coming at me full force.

I'm in a better place now, for sure. A place where I feel alive enough that I can actually have hobbies again. It's not much of a surprise that my first thought turned to Alfie, the poor bugger. He's nearly four now, which just boggles my mind.

He's the character that acts most as my own surrogate in the narrative in my head, and as such, he's kind of always been in a state of flux, while my other characters have remained rather more static. The older I get, the more I think it's absurd that I initially conceived of him being fifteen or sixteen years old. He's definitely gotten distinctly more cynical-old-fart in my head, and idk, I'd still like to try my hand at sculpting a more mature version of him, but for now, a new faceup will have to do.

Things about doing a faceup for the first time in two years: WHAT ARE EYEBROWS, WHAT IS A PASTEL

I'm not sure how much older he looks. He does look decidedly more sleep-deprived in person because I got a little pastel-happy under his eyes. I'm also sorry for the completely generic SPARKLY DOLL PORTRAIT shot, but I am still getting back into the groove of shooting interesting doll photos.

Alfie is a modified migidoll ryu.

ALSO, HOW HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN? o:

Don't mind me, just posting design sketches.

Because I'm drawing Cadence and Cadenza picture.

Edit: fixed a little.

sadly we have yet to obtain the playarts final fantasy vii Vincent, Yuffie, Sephiroth, RedXIII & Cait Sith figures, the playarts advent children sephiroth, the third set of trading arts minis (which include balthier, fran, tidus, rikku, and aerith), the rest of the FFVIII GF figures (Odin, Bahumat, Diabolos, Gilgamesh, Ultima Weapon) Trading arts yuna, cloud, sephiroth, lulu, Kingdom Hearts II Sora's other colors, and alot of others i'm sure but cannot recall at the moment.

Oh yeah...you can also see my comic books/manga. Sandman, Maus, Vampire Hunter D, Rurouni Kenshin, Get Backers, Sgt. Frog, Cowboy Bebop, Rebirth, Death, Comic Party, Planet Ladder, Scryed, Ragnarok, Juvenile Orion, Wolf's Rain, and Return to Labyrinth. They are copyrighted by thier respected writers/publishers. But I dont feel like looking at who/what that is. There's also a book relating religion to mythology, a book containing vampire short stories, and book on tarot card reading somewhere on those two shelves. But none of that is why i took to picture.

More pendant attempts. For the top row, I tried the dog tags with stick-on acrylic covers, but I'm not sure I like how that comes out. The glue plays weird havoc with my painting, and doesn't quite come out right. I still like them though, and I'm going to test drive these to see if they hold up ok.

Top row:
1. Hound's star
2. "Jazz" in Cybertronian glyphs
3. Hound's star, variation 2

The next set are glass tiles that didn't come out quite right. I chipped away part of the Blaster tile, so it's missing a chunk of the painting off of the side. For the Jazz tile, somehow the glaze smudged my watercolor and inks, as you can see. No idea why it did that. Pendant would have come out ok otherwise. The Hound star tile isn't bad, but I wasn't sure how it would look as a pendant, so I might make it into a magnet.

For the record, I borrowed 's heart design for Blaster, so that would have been for personal use only anyway.
