Yeah, the dolls went to Metrocon too...

So, I bundled ALL the boys up because I just couldn't say NO to any of them. They were all so excited.

As usual, my big boys zeroed in on the huge honking weapons.
Ichigo: B-but... it's my ZANGETSU!!!
aernath: I already made you one YOUR size.
Ichigo: But this one...
aernath: I'm not even ASKING how much it is, so NO.
(Apparently someone else asked, because it disappeared later on.)

And this was when I realized that both my big boys' swords are ludicrously large.
Renji: Could I possibly sway your opinion?
aernath: UGH. NO!
Renji: But I don't have a Zanpakuto my size yet.
aernath: That's not your size. And I'll be working on remedying that eventually.

~~~~~

Later on, Ichigo met up with a "friend".
Ichigo: Not the lips! Not the LIPS!!!!

Ichigo did a little more whining...
Ichigo: Not the public restroom!!!
aernath: I could just leave you outside the stall where anyone could just pick you up and take off with you.

But he quieted down for the Katana demonstration. ~_^

Folks, those were REAL swords.

Even Renji found a friend! (handsome fellow!)

The boys all blended in with the others at Comicbookartistboy's table at the artist's alley.

Forgive me, but I found the best looking Miroku!

And Ichigo found another gorgeous friend!

After a blurry Mugen (DARN it!)

And the cutest darned Yahiko ever:

It was finally time to say goodnight to Metrocon.

lol I always love your photostories!

Did you make Ichigo's outfit or did you have it commissioned from someone on DoA?

*chuckle* Thanks!
Actually, that's the Fencing Suit from Iple House (incidentally, where I got Ichigo as well - he's an Ip Soo Ri), all I did was shorten the sleeves and change out the hakama ties to white.

But since Renji is so much bulkier, I'm getting an outfit commissioned for him to wear.

I did, however, make the Zangetsu... oh wait, that's not in this photo.

whooo! Gettin' old.

What are the ingredients?

aernath · Post by **aernath** » Sat Jul 14, 2007 3:29 pm

Leftover aircraft aluminum, paint, and actually, leftover white hakama ties to make the hilt wrap!

I'm not clued up on the dolls, but how come they are always white??

Cool photo storyboard tho...looks like y'all had fun!

I hope you behaved yourself!

With mine, that's a bone of contention.

I ordered Normal Skin, but turns out for both Ichigo and Renji, the companies' Normal Skin is awfully WHITE.

I have another doll that is "TAN", but I think MY skin is darker than his.

They have a few dark brown dolls, but there are many problems with making them that dark. The resin gets blotchy and not many even colored dolls actually come out, so they are correspondingly Much more expensive and rare.

Plus, they look even whiter in photographs than they do in real life.

Ichigo's outfit looks perfect, very awesome!

The doll you chose for him is very fitting as well. What type is Renji? Like I said before, I'd love to get a doll and turn him into Kakashi...but I wouldn't know where to begin!

lol Maybe one day...

I received my doll's clothes in the mail today that I ordered. My DOD girl isn't here yet, but at least I have some clothes for her so she won't be stark naked.

lol Who knew I'd be 25 and playing with dolls again?

Somewhat. I'm glad you like it. Tell your friends. I would if I had any.

Thanks!

He's a UniDoll Jace.

Took me three months to pay him off.

All I know about Kakashi is that he's from Naruto.

but at least I have some clothes for her so she won't be stark naked.

Yup! I've already got some jeans for my next boy, and he's still a couple months away!

38 here.

But I never played with dolls as a kid.
I played with cars, horses (real ones too), and ran with the boys.

So I feel like a real Freak of Nature.

Thanks Toni!!!
