THE SEARCH FOR ALDEBARAN
After looking through numerous pics of Ball Jointed dolls,and trying to find the right sculpt: I decided to try and take the image of how I envisioned Alde,and see if I couldn't find a sculpt to match her.As Alde is a very important character to me,I want to do right by her ,and find her perfect shell, in which to house her spirit. Being that this is a closest I could get to her appearance wise; her personality is like quicksilver.
She has dark wine red hair,with a ruby shine ,when the light hits it ,and eyes of darkest blue,that remind a person of a star sapphire.She has white skin,and deep rose lips;with a shape that is slender,yet strong.The main problem I 'm finding is that most of the sculpts are too young looking ,and don't really have that look, in the eyes ,that speaks of maturity;a look that says " I have seen all that the world has to offer, I have experienced love, loss, bitterness,and joy "
Even if I could find a sculpt,that has the look of maturity to it ,it's trying to get all the other pieces together to make her come alive.
