Gackt Paper Doll update.

[karadin.livejournal.com]

All ten costumes now up - wigs will probably post tonight or tomorrow, but y'all might have to wait a few days for the file to print out everything, (costumes have to be sized down in proportion, tweaked and tabs added) gomen!

Along with the file will come written instructions on making the dolls, including magnet versions! These are never cheap, as I priced out the cost, magnetic sheets, lamination, good color copies, steel paper, just materials alone are over $30 per set, (for the 12" dolls)

*I've found magnet sets online for $35 plus shipping, and those were smaller dolls with five costumes where as this is a larger doll, ten costumes, (17 separate pieces) plus six wigs and four accessories - Belle, Eneru, Mei and the Mercury Guitar. (27 pieces plus the doll)

I will do what I can to get the cost down, I'm never going to make money on the dolls, that wasn't the point, it was to make a present for my kids - and Gackt - and to do some color illustration for a change!

Thanks for all the kudos, that makes it worth while! I look forward to seeing how they turn out for you.

And taking a cue from Gackt-sama, the Kenshin set is next, but feel free to request a costume for the next set, as well as custom dolls.

I have often complained
About how my life seems like hell
On earth.
But just now, I realized that
I should be thankful for that kind of life.
Why?
Because I have... you.
