More body dancing

Not so very long ago I posted a blog post telling you all about the body switch dance I had with my doll bodies and my doll heads, and that I finally found a way to make it all fit.

Turns out. I was not done with body dancing and body switching after all. #whoops#

To freshen up you memory, here´s link to the previous blog post about this subject.

A lot has happened

And a lot has happened indeed.
I hardly know what to tell you first, but I figure starting at the very beginning is the best.
And the start  of the story starts with the arrival of my new Luts Winter event head of 2011.
From  the day I bought him off a very nice seller on DOA I figured he would be perfect for my character Micah and that he would match just perfectly with my Luts SDF body.
I could not have been more wrong on both parts!

The moment I ripped open the box came in I saw that the head was way less yellow that my body was, and

I did not even need the body beside it to see the difference. I think my body is just was more yellowed that everybody around me thought. ( not that I really mind though ). But having the head not matching the body one bit meant that I had to dive into my resin bodies and find a match.  He matched perfectly with my resinsoul body, but due to the neck of the resinsoul body being modded to fit a smaller head it looked a little wack. I knew my Asleep Eidolon body was just as pale as my resinsoul body so that was my second option and BAM! body found. But that left me wondering if the new body line up I made a few days earlier was still working for me. (see my last post for line up)
And I soon found I was growing a little unhappy with the set up with the luts head now sitting on another body. But it was an easy fix. A switch is probably a better word. I switches Jules his head for the new head. Jules went back to t he luts body he had always been on and the new head on  the Asleep Eidolon body Jules had been on. Problem solved.

It was already late in the evening when I got the head so I had to wait a day before I could do his face-up.
Keeping in mind he was going to be my Character names Micah I wanted him to look a little bad ass.
I should have know right there and then that this mold just does not lend it self to such a character.
It took me a whole lot longer that normal to finish the face-up on him and in the end this is what I got.

I was absolutely over the moon with this face-up, as it was the very first time I used acrylic paint for both the lashes and the eyebrows. Yes I have never used paint like this before. I never really dared to use it, afraid I would fail miserably. I only once before used paint on the lashes, but nothing more than that.
And by my own surprise it actually turned out just flipping perfect! I think I now understand the technique behind it, Yay!

And it was the very first time I  dared giving one of my guys a little beard!!! Which I adored so much. But the more I looked at it and despite how much I love the result. The head just did not match the face-up. The head was just to cute to be able to handle the face-up correctly. (guess I'll shelve that idea for another doll one day ) It was one of my best friends who came with the solution to all my problems. For which I am so utterly grateful!
Girl I love you to death!!!!!!
She actually suggested a character change. Change the head into a character that was still on my wishlist and was actually a little shy and cute character.
The characters name: Kaiko (member of my resinband).

I removed the face-up I gave the head the same day I put it on him. and because Light had already started to fade I had to wait until the next day to start a new one.
Early the next morning I took out my gear again and started the face-up.... again.
The result.... Is kind of similar in a way, but then again. Absolutely not! Also popped in some other eyes. And BAM! Kaiko was born. And he is just so damn cuuuuuuuuuute!

Meet Kaiko

Do the body switch dance

I am gonna make a confession. Something many people do not know, but something I am not really ashamed of, but never really get to tell people other that the people that are close to me. It just  never comes up on blogs or other social media things.
Almost all my dolls share their body with other dolls.  Which basically means, I have more heads that bodies.
Yesterday I realized I might have gotten myself in some real problems. I have a Luts winter even head '11 on the way, and that boy does need a body too. Ofcourse I know that he will fit perfectly with my Luts SDF body. But that body already was claimed by three other heads. And I knew right there and then. Four heads on one body, is just t much. So I figured, let's see what I can do without needing to buy a new body, for which I currently am saving, but do no have the money yet. So I ended up doing the head and body dance with my dolls.

So.... Here's my dolly line-up by body before I started.

Exclusive dolls:
I have a few dolls that are exclusif to their bodies. Mostly those are my smaller dolls ( MSD/YO-SD)
And my Grail doll, he does not have to share either.
AOD Min - Strider
Resinsoul Mei - Liza
Hujoo yomi boy - Dex
Leekeworld romeo - Patch
Souldoll Jang Hwa/ resinsoul hybrid - Paisley

Sharing dolls:

                         - Aiden (Leekeworld Kyle)
Luts SDF body: -Alex (Leekeworld Luke)

                         - Jules (Dollfamily H anniversary 2012 event head)

Mirodoll SD body: - Cade (Dollfamily H Yehua)
                              - Cat (Modden Resinsoul Feng)

Asleep Eidolon body: -Bentley (Asleep Eidolon Alex)
                                   - Brandon (Dream of Doll D.O.T dream head 11)

So, this is what I started with. That was my doll collection chaos before I started the head and body dance.

My first thoughts was that my upcoming Luts winter event head '11 (who from now on will be called Micah) should go on the Luts SDF body I have. There was no doubt about that. But that meant one head had to be transferred to one of the other bodies I own. My very first thought was to put Aiden back on his old body, which is the Resinsoul body. But then my close friend reminded me I had the neck of my Resinsoul body for it to fit Paisley's head better, and the neck now was smaller that before. So putting Aiden with his wide neck back on that body was a No-Go. Then I remembered something else. I knew Jules could easily go on the asleep eidolon body. He had been on that body before I got the luts SDF body, and it matched perfectly. So there Jules went, and he became the first real switch. I was content with my choice for a long while. But after a few hours I realized. That If I would kept hings the way they were with the switch of Jules I would never ever be able to put the band mates and best friends Brandon and Jules in one picture. Then my friend mentioned that if I wanted tho make pictures, that Jules could borrow the SDF body for only the pictures. That would solve the problems, but somehow it felt only half a solution to me. I thought about it for a moment. And then the biggest light bulb of the day went on.
I squealed and ran right for my doll cabinet, my friend must have thought I had lost it when I sprang to action all happy and squealing like a newly born piglet.
I went to fetch Brandon's head from the cabinet and pulled Paisley as well.
The moment the light went on in the attic of my head I realized that Brandon in fact is a female head who I turned into a boy. And he in fact has a very small neck opening, just like Paisley has.
So I pulled Paisley, one of my exclusive dolls of his body and stuck Brandon on it instead. I knew of forehand the match would not be perfect, but the match was no worse that it had been with the asleep eidolon body he had been on before.
And Damn I wish I could have  thought of this sooner. Cause it was a match made in heaven. Brandon just looks so good on  the resinsoul body, that I knew right there and then, The second head and body switch had been made.
So, with that concluded. I knew I had my new line-up.
And this is it.
