Hans, a Hujoo Arthur
Posted: Wed Jul 27, 2016 10:34 pmI have a Hujoo Arthur, who has been with me since Monday, and all he needs to be ready for photos is a set of eyes that I'm waiting on. It was a surprise to me that something so small has such huge eyes, but it does suit him. Since I don't have 20mm eyes laying around, he'll just have to wait a bit, I can't even give him temporary eyes. His name is Hans.
I've made his character into a Danish troll, inspired by a lot of Humon's comics and drawings. The moment I saw that toothy little face of the Hujoo Arthur, what came to mind was one of her troll drawings. He's a mischievous and impish little thing, even without eyes to add to his expression. I've given him a tufted tail which is attached to his pants, as well as a dragon tattoo on his chest in dark blue. His faceup is simple but mischievous, and I've given him ear piercings with silver hoops. His wig is one that I made myself, and his little horns which I made out of clay and painted are attached to it. The tuft of his tail and his wig are made of the same fabric.
Pictures of my little freckle-faced troll will be forthcoming just as soon as he has his eyes.
I have heard a lot of complaints about the Hujoo Action bodies, but I actually like it for the most part. His legs give me a bit of trouble, but it's bearable. I think most of the trouble I've been having is that my whole house is at a bit of a slant because of how it was built on a hill, actually, and I'll know for sure when he's fully together and I can take him out and about for photos. His arms are great, he poses them so well and holds poses amazingly, even when I put small and lightweight clay props in his hands that a few of my other BJDs like to use as an excuse to drop their arms out of the pose I had them in. XD
I also love the sculpting of his hands, they are in a generic enough pose to allow him to do a lot of different things while still looking quite nice for photos. The detail on his feet is amazing, and I'm really thrilled about that since he's going to be left barefoot, unless he has homemade boots for the winter.
Overall, I adore the little guy already, and pictures will be coming soon. Hopefully tomorrow, I'm just waiting on his eyes....which is killing me, he's done save for that.
