  • What's a BJD?
    It's short for Ball Jointed Doll.
  • Where can I find out more about BJD's?
    Den of Angels     is the biggest BJD forum in the world.
    If you're from the Philippines like me, check out ManikaManila.
  • Did you make these dolls?
    NO I did NOT make them. :) I bought them online, from their respective doll companies which I have linked to below.
  • How many dolls do you have and who are they?
    I have twelve at the moment. Here they are.

    I won Yra in a raffle during Singapore Doll Carnival 2013.
  • Did your parents buy them for you?
    No, I bought them with my own money. I saved up. You can do it, too!
  • Why do you spend so much on DOLLS?
    Cause I love my characters and they make me happy. Also, it's my money, soooo, yes. :D

  • Is Rose a DOI Luke version 1 or 2?
    It doesn't matter, DOI Luke is the same head, with different faceups. Since Rose's faceup is custom, versions are disregarded. And as of November, his eyes are modded.
  • Who are they, anyway?
    They are original characters of mine.
  • Do they have a background story or something?
    Yes they do, but I don't have it written down anywhere. My online comic, Voiceless Encore is on an indefinite hiatus, that's their 'prequel' of sorts.
    You can view my photostories (DA gallery, Tumblr tag, LJ tag) to learn more about them, though.
  • Do you have art of them?
    Yes. You may check my other account for all artwork. :iconstarrywhitewall:
  • What camera do you use?
    I use a Canon EOS 500D. I alternate between my Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8, Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens and Canon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lenses. :)
  • Who are the other dolls in the photos?
    Check the artist comment for credits. :)
    Though mostly you'll see PropertyoftheUchiha's Cen (Dollshe Husky) and Endo (Volks Ryoya Konoe), who are Bell and Rose's lovers respectively.
  • Are your dolls for sale?
    No they are not. :) And they never will be.
  • Did you buy any of your dolls second hand?
    Nope, all my dolls are brand new. Second hand dolls are not bad at all though, depending on how careful your seller is!
    I have friends who have second hand dolls and they're just as good as new.

Hi Dollstars! I was curious about what eyes you use for your dolls :) I've heard of mako eyes, but I'm looking into more variety c:
