Ulquiorra Resurrection Secunda

[requiemart.livejournal.com]

Me again! Just about all the time since the last custom figures I posted has been spent on this ridiculously difficult boy.




I already made a blog post about him over at my website, so go there if you want to see the making of and all the other fun detaily stuff, as I am just going to post big pretty pictures here. Like this one.






(yeah, work that prehensile tail :P )


('shopped, obviously. I can't craft lance del rampagos...yet.)

My flickr is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/requiemart/
More pictures there obviously, and you can find the fun stuff too, like the entries for the bachelorette contest where Grimmjow entered Ulquiorra without Ulquiorra's knowledge. Yes, that's really there. Go check.

ahhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! <3

Oh my goodness. You know how I feel about your customized dollies and how I feel about Ulquiorra's release...

I'm ... I can't say anything else so I'm just going to stare.

Oh, by the way, I was so in love with your customizations that a dear friend of mine overseas started to work on a couple customized Ishida and Orihime Pullips and hopes to have them ready for my birthday in November--I've seen the work so far and I'm so excited!

*stares more at the beauty that is this batty boy*

YOUR ARTISTRY IS AMAZING! This doll lover adores you!

[requiemart.livejournal.com]

*l* really? You should have said. Ishida is the only doll from the group who hasn't found a home yet. Poor little guy's all alone at the anime store.

...sounds like a wonderful birthday present though! You have good friends.

WHAT? WHAT? I didn't know your babies were for sale!

How dare someone not buy ISHIDA!!!! >.<

Oh man, my friends are gold. You should see the lovely things they indulge me with. I ship lots of poorly rolled rugelach pastries in thanks overseas but omg, I'm spoiled rotten!

Honestly, PM me with price info and I'm certain I could hook you up with a buyer for Ishida.

[requiemart.livejournal.com]

Ah, well I made Ulquiorra for myself, and I brought him to the local doll/pullip store that just opened (owners wanted to see him) and they asked me to do some anime dolls for Anime Boston for them to have as a crowd-drawer for the booth. I said sure, and made Grimmjow, except I wuvs him, so I made the rest of the crew so they could have some dolls that were actually available. They stay at the anime store so I don't end up with half the cast of Bleach living in my office. Ahahahha.

This one wasn't for the anime store, it was a compromise commission for someone who really wanted my Ulqui & Grimmjow, but they aren't going anywhere <3

how much does it cost the Ishida one??? I dunno he was on sale! O_O (i'm a bit retarded x_D ) can you send me a PM with the info to see if I can afford that doll, in case I don't them try to find a buyer of course :3

[gully-moe.livejournal.com]

[requiemart.livejournal.com]

[femmelujah.livejournal.com]

you make me want dolls

AAAAAH I WANT A DOLL NOW

[requiemart.livejournal.com]

Would you feel better if I called them action figures? :D

[femmelujah.livejournal.com]

Oh it's not the doll part, it's that the ones I came across well...they stared right into my soul and broke it. BROKE IT

But these are so.......character like. They feel so vibrant and unique- grah. T_T

[requiemart.livejournal.com]

...it was a Blythe doll, wasn't it?

[femmelujah.livejournal.com]

you got it ;__;

[slipstreme.livejournal.com]

God they are both so friggin adorable!!! I wish I could get one! The work you put in him is utterly amazing. Love how smooth the remnants are and those lovely eyes so much. Totally going to have to link this to a friend of mine.

[requiemart.livejournal.com]

Spread the Ulquiorra love :P

[slipstreme.livejournal.com]

Of course, he is my fav. I have to!

[manonlechat.livejournal.com]

Fantastic work!

[requiemart.livejournal.com]

Thankee :)

[moronqueen.livejournal.com]

So amazing!

[requiemart.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[mezzo-marinaio.livejournal.com]

OMG HIS EYES.



Your attention for detail is amazing. Also mmmmmh, such pretty hair... XD

[requiemart.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I sorta like him better than the unreleased form... he's just so BIG!

[kk2k5.livejournal.com]

OH . MY . GOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is absolutely fantastic! i'm speechless! *O*

the fur is kinda fun though. but i love it XD totally love it

[requiemart.livejournal.com]

It's real fur (tibetan lamb) and it is very soft *pet pet pet*

[nehalenia.livejournal.com]

I'm not a doll person either, but your Ishida made me want one and this... dear god. I know doll-making is an art, but what you're doing here really elevates it to ART. Your artistry and craftsmanship are amazing.

And I can't believe no one bought Ishida either!!! Does the store have a website? Do they take online orders? (Not that I have any money as I'm moving right now and was broke even before that, but damn, I didn't even know he was for sale!)

[requiemart.livejournal.com]

These dolls are fun. I can't explain it. I never liked dolls either ^^;

He's at Animadness in Waltham, Ma. (www.animadness.com) They just opened a year ago, and while they have their inventory online, they never put together an e-store. You can call and order from them, though. The customs don't appear in their store, though, and if you go in the store they aren't exactly advertised as being for sale (I made their store mascot doll, and she's display-only, on the same shelf). So it's not like they're being pimped out much, but at the same time, the other bleach dolls were all spoken for w/in a month :)

[sidonzo.livejournal.com]

His eyes are SO beautiful! <3

[requiemart.livejournal.com]

Aren't they? I was worried because the yellow on green just seemed like it would never work out, but they're lovely and intense <3

[skilly-n-duff.livejournal.com]

Wow. Your hard work has REALLY paid off. This is wonderful!

[requiemart.livejournal.com]

Thanks! These things always drive me crazy while I'm working on them, but then I'm done and it was all worth it :)

[vayshti.livejournal.com]

I said it last time you were generous and shared pics of your wonderful BJDs with us, but I really, really hope Kubo gets to see your creations! They are so incredibly beautiful.

[requiemart.livejournal.com]

Thanks! These guys are just the little 12" ones, too. A full blown 2' BJD custom set would be... vast. and awesome :)

[requiemart.livejournal.com]

heehee, took some more today. I have to play with him while he's still here <3
