Demon of Dreams
January 13th, 2009
Finally, I get to introduce you to Merek, my Soom Sard. Initially, I wasn't going to introduce him until I finished his body blushing, but the weather up here has been so horrible that I may not get a chance to complete him until summer. 😡 His face-up—by elisa_maza (Angel Toast) who did Tahlvin (my IM Hound) as well—is done though and turned out exactly as I wanted. So, I thought I might as well enjoy him even though his body, hooves and horns are still unpainted.
I think I'll be doing a different wig on him. Although I do like this one, it is very high maintenance. It's not like I don't have a number of black wigs to choose from however. Currently, he's wearing this wig, which gives him a slightly more modern and masculine look. I was also considering different eyes, but, for now anyway, I'll be keeping the Volks metallic eyes as I like how they glow and make him look demon-ish.
If you want to find out a bit more about Merek, I have a profile set up for him on flickr.

Hi Honey,
Merek looks shadowed around the eyes that make him look more daunting, but the softness of the rest of his coloring on his face compliments Katriss with him. How are you going to do his body and hooves. I presume you need to have the weather better so that it is less humid and able to dry quicker. I love his outfit and necklace. 8)

Gah, ill for two weeks and I've missed so many new posts! Oh well, just had a marathon catch-up session and it was great!
Merek's a really good-looking chap (or rather, incubus), I must say. It seems that Sard was one of the most popular Soom sculpts, but he's extremely versatile and none look completely identical. It's great to see your interpretation of this sculpt, he's particularly handsome. He and Beryl look great in those photos! I love their Japanese-y outfits.
I was also pleased to see Tahlvin again! Beautiful chap – although I'm not sure beautiful is really the right word. But he's still fantastic; you'll have to show off his tattoos some time! :XO:

Both of their outfits are simply amazing. I was looking at Katriss's a while back but just do not have a girl yet who can pull it off.
Gorgeous dolls and photography as usual.
Are Marek's fingers jointed?

Sorry, I completely misspelled Merek's name. Whoops

:XO: Oooh I like him! (Random, but I like his lips alot…) The faceup looks great on him too! He smolders lol! Can't wait to see him finished though… what are your plans for his hooves and horns? Do you have a "look" planned for him? He and Katriss are a lovely pair.
Ps. Where did you get his necklace? It's a nice little touch…

Somehow, he reminds me of a bijin-ningyo, with his straight, straight black wig and his awesome flowergirl's silk kimono. ^^
At first, I'd thought that he and Katriss belonged to the same 'type', but when you put them together, they hardly do look similar. Even with Katriss' 'look', she seems more 'alive' than Merek. No offence meant. ._.
The backdrop's pretty cool with the play on corners and lighting, too. (i.e. in the second pic) It's hardly something worth commenting on, but… ^^
Anyway, I'm pretty sold on ginarolo's eyes. Seeing how Gumdrops and Droprops and Enchanted eyes are harder to get… I'll save up my Chinese New Year red packet money and get a pair for Sana. Thank you~

Ohooo~ :XO: Me like what me seeing! Girl, you really have good eyes and taste when it comes to your dolls! Especially those robes of his! I loooooooooove them! They're so… meow~
Hehe. Then again, I've always liked anything that's even the slightest bit related to asian styled (Japan and Korean only though) 😛
He looks marvelous. Really. And the profile about him, though short, I can basically guess his character already. And Julian?! 😕 Ohh boy. I can just imagine the mayhem that's going on now… Anyways, great doll!!

Oooh, ooh! That's good (for us bad, bad girls neways :wink:)
I think he'd make a great appearance if added into "The Stranger". Don't you think?
