October Doodle Day - The Doll
Added 2017-10-10 19:00:02 +0000 UTCPrompt - Trythisoutchiki: Have you heard of ball jointed dolls? If so why not Hannibal owns an eclectic shop and ends up with a rather large bjd that just keeps being in places it wasn't left at? Hanni-buns questioning his own sanity while trying to stare down a big ass man sized doll just tickles me. * the doll not being human size would probably make more sense but most find bjds spooky regardless*
Prompt - Dread: Or maybe the bjd is Hanni. He is found at a grisly crime scene that has very little physical evidence. Will walks on the scene and does his thing until he notices the doll. It's unnerving af but he can't take his eyes away like he just knows it'll move when he looks away. The doll is put in the fbi evidence lock up but it doesn't stay put for long...
I combined these two ideas :)) Hannibal is a doll maker and restorer who comes into possession of a doll found at a crime scene which seemed to have been posed like it was the killer~ Despite giving everyone around it strange creepy vibes, Hannibal lovingly restores the cracked and blood spotted doll, because something about it seems familiar...
(I lovvvvve BJD actually and for awhile when I was younger I considered the logistics of getting one, but I decided they were too much responsibility for me lol; Will and Hanni both would make really good BJD ahhhh)

2017-10-13 18:07:33 +0000 UTCsorry, hit enter too fast! Anyway, if the Sherlock head you got a while ago is about 9" in circumference, it will probably fit a body from 65-70 cm tall. You could get one inexpensively if you wanted! Granado is the company that made the Mads-like heads linked above (<a href="http://doll-granado.com/v07)," rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://doll-granado.com/v07),</a> that head is called V-07, but they've also released a sculpt that looks pretty like Mads and is named... Mads. Natrume has sculpted Sherlock and John portrait heads (<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/111036918/modoll-13-size-sherlock-holmes-benedict?ref=shop_home_active_1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.etsy.com/listing/111036918/modoll-13-size-sherlock-holmes-benedict?ref=shop_home_active_1</a> and <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/125348564/modoll-13-size-martin-freeman-doctor?ref=shop_home_active_9)," rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.etsy.com/listing/125348564/modoll-13-size-martin-freeman-doctor?ref=shop_home_active_9),</a> the John head is actually pretty nice for uses other than being John. IOS has released an official Doctor Strange doll (<a href="http://dollios.us/shop/step1.php?number=271&b_code=B20170630020658)," rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://dollios.us/shop/step1.php?number=271&b_code=B20170630020658),</a> but I think no one has received him yet so there are no owner pictures. Julia Cross has made a Sherlock doll but she doesn't sell her portrait heads (<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/juliacross/6347352731/)." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.flickr.com/photos/juliacross/6347352731/).</a> There are also a lot of other pretty and handsome dolls out there! And unlike pets they don't get mad when you neglect them! Much. ;)
2017-10-11 19:42:29 +0000 UTCAhhhhhhh this is perfection! I'm also a BJD collector and while it is definitely a sort-of all-consuming hobby, you should totally do it! ;) ;) I love the drawers of eyeballs and the heads in the background, it's a great detail. Kind-of what my house looks like except I have drapes over everything for sun protection ;)
2017-10-11 19:34:07 +0000 UTCOhh, what scale are they and what do you collect, out of curiosity? I bought a Sherlock head back when I was still way into it and it's huge, I didn't end up taking it further than that, I just enjoy the sculpture; otherwise I'd have a doll the size of a child in my house lol~~ A real Hugh BJD would be really beautiful tho, if you ever get one and take pics please send me a link!

2017-10-11 09:28:02 +0000 UTCOooh I think I saw a Hugh faceup awhile ago, I didn't know there were custom heads! I want ittttt but I also don't want the responsibility lol, I'd have to learn how to do face ups and then buy him clothes andddddd that's a hobby I don't need heuwehuweuh

2017-10-11 09:26:50 +0000 UTCI love this theme. Recently I read story by Anna_Jay: The Living Doll on Archive. Pity there isn't more of it.

2017-10-11 02:22:03 +0000 UTCanother bjd hobbyist here! i was considering getting the mads/hannibal doll, but it's too huge for my tastes. if they release hugh/will doll, i might be tempted to get it despite the wrong size, as hugh is just so pretty.

2017-10-10 22:32:08 +0000 UTCinteresting to see Hannibal reconstructing a body, rather than deconstructing one. He looks so loving and involved here, a v good doll dad indeed

2017-10-10 20:31:08 +0000 UTCThis is so 鉂わ笍鉂わ笍 and creepy. Did you know there are actually some Mads/Hannibal BJD portrait heads? 馃槃 There's also a Hugh/Will in progress.
2017-10-10 19:18:30 +0000 UTCAbsolutely wonderfully creepy.
