Title: My First BJD
Post by: WaterRaven on June 24, 2015, 08:10:22 PM: Hello everyone!

I've been collecting ponies for a couple years now, but more recently I became interested in Monster High dolls and BJD. I mostly like customizing dolls, but collect a few as is ^_^.

I am an author and when I was at a convention in the spring, bumped into my first BJD. The first thing I thought was that he was the PERFECT height to be a gremlin from my books, he even had pointed ears like most of the fairy in my books! So naturally I inquired about him and where the young woman got him. Before you know it, I purchased the doll and clothes to match the character from my books.

Braun is a gremlin who fancies himself a pilot and a genius with planes and watches. Here he is on the first cover of my first book, opening the door(it's since been republished with a new cover):

And here's Braun as a BJD:

Here he is with another BJD and his pet werewolf, Clawdeen.

He's making friends with a dire wolf ;) (oooor my dog, Faolan, hahaha)

Anyway, I think he's just perfect for my gremlin and I hope you like him!

Squee! :frolic: Thank you so much! I am so happy with how his hair and outfit came together! I might get him some eyes with pupils at some point, but for now I am satisfied! :D

Thank you very much! It's hard not to want to have a BJD for EVERY character from my series now, lol. Esepcially my centaur Eramos! Once I realized they make BJD centaurs I was like :shocked: and knew that I was going to be poor someday, hahaha.

Thanks too for the compliment on Faolan! I couldn't resist the opportunity to make him look like a direwolf ^_^ He's my best bud, I'll pass your compliment along to him ;)
