#limho

My legit BJD (ball jointed doll, just in case Tumblr super advanced AI short-circuits with this abbreviation. This is a freaking doll!), Limhwa Limho Mano turned 19-years-old on December 18, of 2025. I thought I would take a few more photos of his and fix the color of this wig. Which I made for him, on August of last year and thought it would be a nice b-day celebration to have him wearing a new wig, made just for him. Sadly, my old-fart-brain had a long-6ss brain-fog, and I completely forgot all about it! DX

In my defense, I never "celebrate," my dolls' birthdays/arrival-dates. I kind of sew stuff for them, then take photos, and sometimes share those. Most of the time, I just forget (yes, even back in the dark ages when I was in my early to mid-twenties, when I originally got most of these dolls. I still forgot things!). Lol!

Long story longer, I took photos of his in the wig, back when I took photos of him with his newest mods (Dec. 12, 2025). So, just a few days short of his 19-anniversary with me! I'm sharing these now, for that reason. I knew I had to do something with him, but I kept forgetting what. I am not happy with the wig, as I made it too bulky and the color is way off. His hair is supposed to be a dark midnight blue, but I've never been able to find that exact color anywhere, so I'll just live with what I can find and try to make it work.

Rare footage of the brothers being nice and on the same side. You know, before Varekai joined Pazuzu and Rajko married his ex-husband's little sister.

Let's see if this doesn't get sent to the dark side as well...

My mano all finished for now! I am super happy with him so far. I kind of feel like his top lip doesn't look as plump now. I am wondering, if I should make it thicker next time... Lol! I know I am nuts! DX

Regardless of all my shenanigans, I am happy with him He doesn't look as angry as I was hoping, after fixing his brow shape, to be more like the 2015 version I gave him. I feel perhaps I need to matte them down a little. I like to use a layer of MSC gloss, to add/enhance the skin texture effect. I gave him a subtle texture, so I like adding the gloss to enhance that, however, his brow bone is a bit too pronounced in some areas. Which makes the glossiness an issue in those areas. It makes it seem like the brows are not dark enough, so it makes him look less angry. At least, that's what I want to believe.

I still need to find better eyes for him, and new elastic so I can take full-body-shots of him, without worrying he's going to fall off my desk at any moment. He's floppy as the dickens, but I always forget to find new elastic for him. (:

I took a million photos of my Mano, so I'll be spamming him a lot more (perhaps!). I suck at photos, and lighting. I don't know why this photo looks so weirdly lit. I tried fixing the yellow cast, but nothing helped. I try to not photoshop my photos because I want to seriously get better at it, but I really wanted this one to be less yellow. I love the way he looks like this; I had to douse his hair in water, because this fiber is so staticky, I had forgotten that. I love synthetic mohair, never knew what the official type of fiber is. However, keeping it sleek looking, without flyaways is a pain in the gut. I don't use gel on my dolls' wigs, because I don't want it on their plastic. I like the hair, and the way the paint apps don't look make-up-like and rather soft and fleshy, as they are IRL, but the freaking yellow cast.

Anyway, I really love this photo, but Insta has image limit, and I just copy paste from here to post on there, because it is a royal pain in the gut hole to post on there (only through the app, and I am computer person). I like spamming my work anywhere, so that's what it is. I wanted to share this photo as well but already had too many I liked better on the other post. (:

More Mano spammage! Lol! I wasn't planning on sharing these, because I did try to fix his upper lashes at least once. I placed the inner corner pieces too far out and they created weird shadows, making his eye appearing crossed eyed. Luckily, I only did it on the left eye. These however, turned out to be so much more color accurate, that even if they are a bit dark and probably not that well lit, they are truer to IRL colors than any of my other photos with either phones. So, I also chose to share them now, to show a comparison of the desaturation of the reds/purple/pinks, in his original paint apps. I was discussing with a friend, that couldn't tell the difference, somehow. DX
