Warning/Bonus: naked doll
Well, it's come time to introduce Tahlvin Shadowtalon, the elf mercenary. He is still without his face-up or other customizations, but I just couldn't help taking (many, many) pictures of him. There's something beautiful and haunting about dolls that are bare. And by "bare" I not only mean unclothed but sans paint.
Anyway, I imagine this photo set to represent Tahlvin's soul or perhaps his dream-self. Poor guy…he really is a little messed up.

He's gorgeous without his paint, so he's going to be amazing once he's all finished *drools* And I'll keep all thoughts about Tahlvin and handcuffs to myself …. 😉
Merry Christmas Kara!

Dark without being creepy – which is nice since I don't like gore. Yes, dream like. It would be interesting to play with sheer fabrics while he is in this unpainted state. (not to be confused with playing under the fabrics with him)
I remember having a dream of myself under a sheet with my arm sticking out holding a cup. I don't know why I am reminded of it.
Anyway, I am glad you're having fun with your bjd! It's great to tag along. Talk to you soon!

I find him introspective yet seeking beyond what he finds. His non-completed being leaves more to the imagination; yet, there is a beauty about him. The chains could be what he needs to rid himself of in this life to grow and now develop into–not a patch work–being.
I am so glad John was able to achieve his goal . We miss you but it would have been like these chains if he was constantly worrying. Love you so much. XXXXXX00000 Mom

Found this from DOA and must say your photos are wonderful and (assuming photoshop) masking with textures – brilliant!!! (oh and I see you've linked me, I'll link you back, how's that? ^^) I will visit more often!! ^_^…..christy

wow… i'm really blown away by this. the IM hound actually looks better without faceup IMO.
… as of dreams, as I was reading the past comments I'm reminded of my own dreams myself — I was looking over a landscape full of glass coffins piled up on each other, and there were bandaged people inside -and i happen to know all these people irl-. Now that is my best dream ever^___^ (but really creepy 0_0!)

Hi Kara,
I've not written to you before, but have been a fan for quite a while. I just wanted to say, the second to last image of Tahlvin, where he's lying down, would look pretty awesome if he were lying on a mirror, with his image looking back at him. Awesome job with these! I don't know very much about the dolls, but it's eery how you found one that was so close in image to the character!
