Introducing my new arrival. This character has been in the plans for years and I’ve had this head for him since 2018, so 5 years. I’ve been waiting to get him a grey body eventually, so I couldn’t paint the face and borrow a body for him either, as his head would then need to be dyed. Anyway, fast forward to late last year when Dream Valley released this gorgeous thing. My friend mizya, linked it to me and I couldn’t resist. Such long slim limbs :D :D Hooves are always a plus, tho I do like cloven feet more. Aaanyway, put him on a 6 month layaway and he arrived last month. I would’ve loved him in the color in the promo pictures, but unfortunately that was only for the fullset, so I had to make do with just normal grey.
I have the Apocalypse head obviously as well, and I did some mods to it, but I haven’t painted yet because I’m not yet sure what character I’ll make him out to be. I actually had to reserve all character and design plans for after I got him because I didn’t know if the Souldoll head would work (and if I’d manage to dye it) or if I’d have to use his original head etc. I also ordered the skull head and horns (because ofcourse I did, I’ve wanted a Chalco headpiece forever) but Alice forgot to put it in the order and it’s now coming in later as DV was nice enough to let them order one way later.
When I got him I was surprised how tall he was, lol. He’s slightly taller than Cin (who is an Idealian75), but much more in the 70cm doll sizing otherwise, as he is very slim and long. So glad the torso is also very long and it’s not all in the limbs. He’s also extremely good quality, all the seams are sanded and he’s just super smooth. So smooth in fact that when I loosened his strings I had to suede him and also did some coating to give him a bit more tooth. Still playing with the tension but he’s better for me to handle now.
I took some photos of him as a whole: of the paintjob and first outfit he got. The whole design pretty much happened as I was doing it. I couldn’t plan the face up before I dyed the head because I knew it wouldn’t be fully even (my Souldoll dye jobs never dye evenly) and I might have to give him markings of some kind. Which yeah, I had to do. :P They play into his story, no worries. I also got this antique gold paint recently and I’m quite obsessed with it as it applies so evenly with just a brush. In the end this color theme ended up an accident as well. It’s very similar to Llyr’s but can’t be helped. (Actually Llyr isn’t restricted to blacks and golds but I just haven’t made him new clothes in years :’D poor guy.)
Sooo… this is Agreas (Agri for short):
