So my Iplehouse Leona arrived this week and as I had to come home a bit earlier this weekend I decided to open her box. XD There was a good sized hole in it so it was rather tempting. >_>

I took a quick little box opening video but haven't uploaded it yet and as I forgot my camera battery was dead no pictures yet either. But soon!

And yes, I am currently thinking of calling her Naomi. ^_^
Still thinking I should have gotten her in special real skin instead of peach gold skin but I still love her anyway. So pretty! And she can stand! :o

Box Opening
Not the greatest but yeah. XD

Quick clothes

Enjoy. ^_^ I'm not the best camera person so the videos are a bit blurry/shakey...

Quickie photoshoot
Quality isn't that great since it is night here and my camera hates doing closeups, especially in bad lighting. XD Leona likes falling over backwards. Stands great, bending can be a bit wobbly because her knees just like to bend but her back likes to stay straight.

Can't wait to see her! There aren't enough Leonas out there, she's such a lovely sculpt. Congrats!

Thankies! I'm uploading the videos to youtube right now. ^_^ Would be nice if I knew how to edit videos so I could just splice them all together. >_>

Congrats! XD I'd love to see too!
Real skin is a lot darker than I thought it would be. Wish I had gotten my Arvid in peach gold lol. But I can make it work. Maybe you can give the illusion of a slightly darker skin tone as well with blushing? Putting highlights on a doll is a bit harder than shading. Most blushing basically tends to be just brushing in some shadows.

That is a good idea! I would be much too nervous to try myself though. I'm not particularly artistic and have a tendency to overdo things.

It's hard to overdo shading. Because you work layer-by-layer, you can always wipe something if you think you've gone a step too far. Just check it well in natural light before you apply the sealant.
