Doll Character Collection - Pt 1

There were times I didn't draw much, i keep on challenging myself to keep drawing.

My newest challenge is to draw an illustration for each doll I have. Starting with my first 4 dolls. I decided to group them as I had a break after the first four. Later on I started to challenge myself with poses, the first ones were me slowly getting back into the vibe.

Vincent

After Samuel my oldest OC (created in 2006) and my first doll. He went through some design changes over the time, but this design is still pretty close to the OG one he had. He's the son of a ringleader but due his health conditions he can't travel with the family and is forced to stay in their winter quarters. He wants to perform in the ring but his father insists that his family members are either working as ringleader or in the background. Vincent disagrees and practises without his father's consent. But as his father finds out Vincent still tries to impress him and gets injured badly, losing his memory as result.

Raphael

Raphael is a character that grew with the doll I got for him. I created him in 2008 and he is a fallen Angel. Little teen goth me at works here. But not the average fallen angel, in this story the Arch Angels indeed are able to die/wear out. They are replaced by clones over time. Raphael is one of these and he is tricked into believing he killed his mentor, what he never did. He falls and on earth he slowly loses his mind.

Fanny

Fanny was actually a character loosely based on a friend's character at first but then became an own character later on. His full name is Frederic, he's Pierre's pet fox and sneaks around, makes fun of members of the side show and loves to munch on cakes and sweets.

Psyche

Listed four Ancient Sea Creature Diorama prints in my Etsy shop!

WiP - Allen's Animate Special Card Design (Spring 26) - Timcampy Slippers

Now for the main item - the reason I overall wanted to make this outfit: THE SLIPPERS!

I really saw the outfit and fell for the slippers, luckily I got a crafting sole in a local store and everything else I already had at home. Is this the first time for me making slippers? Yes.

Well I made doll ones but that was like 2 seams and done :')

First of all after getting the soles I made some pattern. As mentioned I made doll slippers and shoes in before therefore I just trusted myself here that I somehow was able to create something that resembled slippers.

I tested the base of the slippers around the sole (and I should have tested both ... as I needed to correct that later on) and moved forward then.

I decided to do all machine parts first, which means attaching the puzzle the pattern were together and make the little wings.

After that I stuffed the pieces and made the overall base of the slippers. Then it took me quite long to attach them to the soles even if it was a kit for crafting, to stitch through the fabric was hard.

ofc i had to test them, they were crooked though, i decided to ignore that for now

I wasn't sure how to make the crossed I just opted to to the same as for my last Timcampy plushy and it worked, but the glue ate a bit of the fabric's color?? I have no idea but it's okay.

Adjusting as they were too crooked as I wanted to attach the crosses. I also had a weird bulge in one base stripe that I tried to correct as well. I am glad I didn't resew the whole sole but just went to redo a small part and actually removed the top to adjust that because that was easier on my hands than correcting the sole.

Here we are <3

Aaaand slippers done!

Travel Blog - Dokomi 2026 - Saturday or: Where did the time go

Second day of Dokomi started with me going to a local store to aquire a lunchbox replacement to not throw my food into the bag at random.

After that I got to the parking lot again and asked the staff if there was a bag found. And there was INDEED a bag found, the called the staff member who did find it and ... turned out it was just a small bag and already given back to the owner.

So well I did ready for the Con, put make up on and painted the curse the wrong side and was just trying to keep myself somewhat grounded.

I was already on my way as I noticed I didn't put on the boots and had to return to the car another time. So forgetfulness was a theme for me this weekend. But to spoil it: it luckily got better.

As I was in I went to the big lost & found and there wasn't my bag either. I checked several times even shortly before I got back to the car and still nothing. They told me to come back tomorrow as they collect everything from the different info points in the evenings. So little hope left but not much.

I then decided to rebuy at least the D.Gray-man things and asked the artist I had a huge preorder from if anyone got back to them as they shared the post but sadly none so far.

Luckily Faber Castell had a booth there too and I got a new drawing pad that I could draw a bit at least. After I got my DGM stuff I even found some fellow cosplayers!

And decided to finish what I didn't manage to finish of the artist alley that day, I was a bit miffed and wasn't sure if I wanted to invest more money but I told myself I would be sad when i dwell on the lost things and decide against buying new things. As I had been looking forward to just have a fun time in the alley.

As the Hall 3 was done for me I went to Hall 1 and got through the vendors there, more roughly than anything as there were so many booths and a lot of figures and the music in there was really giving me a hard time. As my earphones are in the lost bag there was nothing I could do about it.

Other than getting myself the daily Bubble Tea.

I then went outside into the park for a stroll, I knew some of my friends would be there but I wasn't in the mood for "hunting" down people I would be either come across them or would not meet them.

As said the bag just tainted everything a bit and I wasn't fully through with my last episode either.

A big shout out to the people who recognized me as Allen and gave me very nice feedback and also to my friends who were in for a chat. And I learned I wasn't the only one with a mental breakdown this weekend :')

I decided to go back inside afterwards as I also got told there was another artist with D.Gray-man stuff and went to them (first I confused the halls and was like huh were is the booth?), I actually went by the booth earlier and it was just so crowded I didn't see and missed the Allen Keychain sadly but got some nice stickers and a print. And explored the rest of hall 1 in before.

After that I went backt o Hall 4 that I started exploring it further (sorry if the photos are in weird order it's just me confusing things but better than overall forgetting everything).

And wrote with someone from the anniversary Discord to meet up later on.

As I was done with Hall 4 I went to the giant food court and got myself the first food after breakfast which was a frozen Yogurt.

While I was waiting I got approached by someone who turned out to be a member of our former local bjd board and it was so SO nice to have a face to you now. I hope you had a great weekend :) and tell me your tumblr handle.

Then I headed to the meet up point and actually ran into a friend and we took some photos and had a little chat. The Meetup was mainly me showing them the artists who had DGM Stuff and we parted after that as we both needed some food.

I got myself a rice bowl (oh wow yes I can eat something else than oats and bubble tea OTL) and sat down with my friends who I know from the HanaCon for a bit <3

It was super late already and after checking the Lost & Found for a last time I only got myself a soft serve Macha Ice Cream Cone and went back to the car.

To be honest I walked around the car several times to check if I didn't forget a thing this time and nothing was forgotten x_x

For day 3 I aim to at least try to check the missing halls, but I might skip on the Seijin hall as I felt incredible uncomfortable in it last year. Plus I have to travel back and I feel like time will be running fast again.

Vox meeting a true icon of TV.

Travel Blog - Dokomi 2026 - Friday or: Forgotten & Lost

Maybe you saw my post about my lost bag I will come to that later on, maybe it has been found after i started writing this entry I will see.

The Friday started at home for me, I still had to pack a few things and as I went on the Road i had to take a turn because I forgot my Lero (yes, that's a theme for this day).

The drive was.. tiring and as I finally arrived and put myself into the costume I was already melting because we had 31°C. I was almost at the hall as I noticed... I forgot my staff in the car. So back to the car I went.

As I was finally inside after walking like 10k alone from the car and through the queue I got myself a bubble tea and went right ahead into the artist alley.

After a short time my ears started to act up and I had to sit down to eat something.. it got a bit better then and my ears were fine after like 30 minutes I have no idea I think the whole day was too much (plus I am getting down from some meds and maybe that was an overall issue that day).

And that was were I stayed almost the whole day, buying merch here and there and even finding some D.Gray-man goods.

And a cute Witch Hat Stamp rally that seemed to be doable!

Shopping continued... and I was found by friends and found another DGM Cosplayer

In the end I didn't finish the artist alley and only picked up an order to head out to get some more DGM Stuff. But I got the stamp rally completed.

Before that I found even more friends!

It was already late around that time I got .. another Bubble Tea and headed to the car, checking my wig how it survived and aside from the inside it did good.

Well then I went to the hotel and as I wanted to unload the car I noticed... i didn't put my messenger bag into the car.

I just threw my stuff into the hotel and went back to the parking lot and of course it was not there anymore. Having a mental breakdown in the car about it and yeah .. i mean at least my money and phone were in different bags but almost all my purchases, my drawing supplies (including my dgm fountain pens), my giveaway prints, my Lunchbox, my drinking bottle, my LERO were in the bag.

From everything I got at the artist alley this was all what I had left as I put it into another bag.

I am waiting for a reply from the support and will ask at the lost & found today hoping it's there. I have a cooler bag to take as replacement today and have another bottle for water but no box for my food so I guess today i will have mushed crackers and apple, as I can't see myself to carry the tomatoes loose in that bag.

And most likely will try to buy some things again :( sigh.
