Nichodemus (IOS Spiritdoll hybrid)

[Bionicandy]

Nicky is a rather desperately deep kind of guy. I'm glad that quality came across. It's funny cause sometimes he seems to be smiling, just a little somber smile, and other times he looks like I just kicked his puppy. I will take the shot from the same angle in close to the same light and he looks so different. I have a moody doll who forgot he was made out of plastic.

With that gradient of moody emotions he can express with just a tilt in lighting, I've forgotten he's made of plastic too x'D

I guess it is easy to get lost with one or two such cases, but I have found that my posts shut down threads. It's rolling along and then bam.... I post a picture of one of my guys with some tidbit of information, then respond to the conversation.... and then DAYS go by with nothing or when someone does say something it is as though I didn't post at all. So I just.... stopped.

Ahhh man, that's a TOTAL pet peeve of mine. I see that happen so many times on clique-y sites; I used to do some forum roleplays, and I'd use that behavior as a measuring stick on whether I should stick with the site. When they'd pull that shit in those LIVE chatroom boxes, that's when you know those people are just gonna waste your time. It IS kind of an 'ouch'; I know I usually become more and more reserved when joining new places and interacting, just to ensure I don't rub people the wrong way and get snubbed like that. But you know, sometimes its better to understand, believe, and have piece with the idea that its not YOU, it really is THEM. After which case, you dust of your hands and move on... because honestly, they wasted your time and that's not okay, really.

Overall.. like you (as you can see), I'm a rambler x'D. So you're not alone! Can't wait to see yer tattoo work, sounds AWESOME!

I never know what to expect. there are some pictures that I love that just seem to have no real value to anyone else, because they are emotionally charged for me. D is the biggest for that. He and Nicky have a long standing interaction and show up together in a few parts of story. It's actually Dallieh that sets Nichodemus free. Dallieh is one of my guys that is heavily tattooed. So is Kaze. Here is a link to Kaze if you want to see the big one:http://dolliehsanctuary.com/sanctuary/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=8309. Doh I gotta go eat .... more later!

Now is later and I have had food, YAY. Vetinari I'm glad that carries through. I mean really it is. I'm glad that you tripped on trying to identify how to appropriately compliment him. This is a little of the story so you can see how he is described. Your reaction was exactly right:

"The man before him shook his head. His hair fell about him like an endless cascade of the night sky, absorbing the light as though it hungered for it. His eyes flicked up, as dark as ebony before lighting momentarily like garnets. Everything about the man who knelt before him was pleasing. Everything was so carefully planned. Each curve of muscle was just exactly the way it should have been so that he would be perfectly beautiful, like a poisoned flower... but one that had teeth. Nichodemus was Azriel’s pet viper."

You made perfect sense!!! thank you. That is a huge compliment

I love spirit doll. I actually.... am going to be making an investment in their company even more shortly as I discovered that they have not one or two.... but five things I need. Talk about a knee jerk reaction to the price point but.... it is so worth it. Nicky is straight of the box.... erm bag. You get the point. To be honest so long as the head is lighter, you can blush it to match. IOS is infinitesimally lighter, but I sorta like that. The resin color is a similar quality so it feels natural. And.... I love his hands... even though he flicks me off ALL THE TIME!

See, I figure in threads that I start, it's free range. I will talk to you about chickens eating cheesecake in here, but don't want to derail some other person's thread and piss them off. Frankly, it's really gratifying to be able to talk about my other guys in this thread too so there is a common point of reference, or my sculpts. I can't really talk about them other places either. Oh by the way, I have that mold halfway done! I mean I have had to leave my husband and certainly fight to get the right materials, but I swear I will cast you a Cain head whenever you are ready for one Venitari! I know you had liked him but I had no idea if you were still interested and didn't really know... how to connect. So ya, there's that.... right in Nicky's thread, LOL.

I will post more of them. I posted Zeke. Maybe I will try to wrangle the Andreus mod into submission here. HE's holding a gun to my head right now. I should be writing, LOL.

If poultry eating pastries crop in my dreams tonight, I'm blaming you!

(And with a hyphen in that sentence it gets very disturbing. See: poultry-eating pastries )

(And I apologise for my share of thread derailings, I have a bad tendency to view threads as conversations which can drift and wander. The online (non-doll) group I've been a member of longest started up when a fair few of us got fed up with people being banned from a forum for veering even slightly off topic. As a result, the splinter group considers itself to be entirely off topic )

[Trethowan]

If a thread doesn't derail and spin off into what I call a NORMAL FREAKING CONVERSATION, then it's no fun. Honestly. Who sits and has a conversation about a topic that never varies? If I post a picture of Ivan it had better darn well end up a discussion about something else entirely. Like socks. Or sporks. Hm, yes, sporks are good. Otherwise it makes me look like some sort of self-absorbed ass. WHAAAA... how dare you derail this conversation about MEEEEEEEEEEEEE... don't you know I am the nexus of reality? The black hole of the Milky Way? Even light bends to my glorious splendor!! ALL SHALL ORBIT MY MAGNANIMOUS MIGHT! BWAHAHAAAHAA... CIRCLE ME OH MINIONS! CIIIIRRRCCCLLLEEEEE!!!!

*we interrupt this post to inform you that Trethowan is now in custody and will receive top psychiatric care.*

Carry on!

We need to make a my little pony minion. that's all I could think of because of your avatar. I should be getting ready for work but alas, I was drawn to quickly message about the symphony of chartreuse hooves clopping through my head like a myriad of spanish castanets all with adorably painted little biohazard symbols. Have I mentioned that I have a very vivd imagination. The poultry eating pastries made me think of the scene in young sherlock holmes where watson has a drug induced hallucination that a gravestone turns into a pastry shelf and they try to make him eat himself to death. Thoroughly amusing when combined with biohazard ponies in a great whirling maelstrom like they were combined with the sorcerer's apprentice right before he actually figured out how to clean things up on his own! Now imagine what my own universe is like when I can so easily wander through those three at once. Pfffeh, tracks. I spit upon you tracks! Oh look, another person in a straightjacket. I would wave at you if I could but my hands are handily bound as well, Trethowan <3

[Trethowan]

We'll just wiggle and that shall be interpreted as a wave. hahaha

Ooh with a full context those photos - gah! I thought the Azriel/Nichodemus shot looked sinister - *sympathetic shudder* just eep wow there's now some guilt for admiring what Azriel made him into, but he's also so fiercely himself that *wurble* um yea he's a brilliant character - and I've only seen glimpses of his edges! *embarassed incoherency*

Cain! Thank you for bringing that sculpt to life! There's so so much personality shining through that sculpt even when totally blank. I will v.happily wait until you feel he's ready to be sold/sent out. Heck for a sculpt that expressive I'd be able to get the funds even when horrifically broke! (Really outdated TV reference - Dust is food right?)

Ah I managed to miss Kaze by dint of DissertationOfDoom eating my life for much of 2013... Those tattoos - the paintwork - so delicate - it's beautiful. And the relationship between Kaname and Kaze is so obvious!

Ahem - right I'll stop with the enthusiastic, and probably slightly scary at this point, incoherent admiration!
