They aren't as creepy as they seem

So cyberspace,today I conclude my series of posts about ABJDS, which will mainly be made up of the reason I chose this topic, fascination I have with them, and my own.

I originally started looking at these dolls as if they were insanely creepy. Probably something like four years ago my mother had shown them to me and like most people looking at them for the first time I found them rather creepy. After seeing them them every once in a while for a little less than a year I truly admit I had started liking them, and at the point I'm at in the hobby right now, after thinking about it for a little bit I discovered that although I did know quite a bit, I didn't know as much as I would have liked to about a hobby that consumes a good amount of my time and my spending.

My fascination stems from two things; I always have been and always will be a big anime dork and I'm an artist. Not only do these dolls originate from Japan, but as I've shown you already, they are heavily customizable. There is so much you can do art wise and they have actually been a little helpful for me working on getting the majority of body proportions right, which is a pretty awesome perk.

Now, meet Bella and Natalie. Natalie, the 44cm, Dollzone Shoyo, blondie I've had for almost a year now, I got her for a Christmas present last year, and at this point she needs some basic care maitenence and a new wig, but she's amazing to me. The little 10 cm, puki puki sugar, brunette sitting in her lap is Bella. Bella is without a doubt my pocketsize baby, yes I acknowledge the fact that it's a little creepy to call her my baby but with the amount of work I've put into her and her clothing, I'd be absolutely devastated if anything bad ever happened to either one of them.

So there. You've seen another little slice of my twisted world and yes photos of them will be coming every once in a while now as well.

So cyberspace, are you creeped out, or is it some other type of fascination that you're cultivating?
