Sneak Peek
October 1st, 2009
Until very recently, I've been going back and forth over whether I should sell my Sard or not. His previous face-up was just not working for me so I got a new one for him. When he arrived home several months ago from his new face-up, his body was pulled apart in preparation for blushing (which I never ended up doing). Actually, it wasn't until just his past weekend that I restrung him, and only then because I was going to put a feeler thread up on DoA and I needed to get pictures of him. However, once I put him back together, dressed him and found the perfect wig, well…I fell in love!
So, he stays!
I'm so happy to be excited about him again. I thought he was going to be one of those dolls I was meant to admire from afar. It was very frustrating when I couldn't get him to work for me.
Anyway, he's once again pulled apart as I'm working on his blushing (yes, for real this time! haha). I can't wait until I'm done so he can be a complete doll again.
Oh, and I'm renaming him. I don't really like his old name (Merek) any more. So, now he's "Thane", which is short for Thanatos, the Greek god of the dead. With his monochromatic coloring, he seems like a death god to me.
OMAKE:
If you're curious, here is the reference picture I made for the face-up artist (ShallowSleep from DoA) to work from when I sent her Thane. It is a mock-up that I made using the Sims 2.
She did an awesome job bringing my wishes to life (or to resin…haha).

He looks really great. And I love his new name. Reminds me of Hel, the goddess of the Dead in Nordic mythology.
I hope to see more of Thane soon!

Oh my! He's a perfect God of Death! That kind of god you can fell in love with :XO: I'm glad his face-up is working out for you now 😀

Oh, wowzers! He's so hauntingly beautiful to look at! 😯 I especially love how hollow his cheeks seem to be (I've always had a thing for nice cheekbones). He is quite, quite amazing.
I also love the Classical reference with his new name – reminds me a lot of the Iliad. "Thanatos" suits your Sard wonderfully!

She did do a fantastic job! 🙂 He looks so devilishly handsome! And the eye tattoo is TOTALLY cool! Just like all of your things. The style is just sooo… I can't say completely goth but… something… can't really find any words to describe just how… COOL it is! 😛
I can't wait to see his overall body! Especially that outfit you dressed him up here. Looks interest. I wanna see it in full!

Now, you know I don't usually like the "dark" look. But in this case it suits him to a tea.
He is indeed individually stunning.

Damn, if you ever need someone to adopt/ buy him in the future, even years from now 😀 Let me know 😉
