Hello from CO

Hello~

My name is Illihanna, I am from Colorado, U.S.A and I'm new . I have been on DOA forums for a long time before joining here. I decided to join up because I have bought my first doll and wanted to join a nice bjd community that would not make me feel tense 88% of the time.

A little bit about myself- I am in my mid-twenties, I am currently in college and I work full-time. I like Gothic lolita fashion and I am also into beauty products.

I hope to chat with all of you soon!

Welcome to the boards! We're a small group, but we're quite friendly.

What doll did you just get?

Thank you for the warm welcome! *.*

I'm getting a bobobie 44cm song; I'm currently scrambling to find clothes and wigs for him

Welcome Illihanna~
I hope you find this forum a lot less... intimidating compared to DOA, I know I do. 83
Songs are quite beautiful molds, I can't wait to see what you do with your's. <3

Welcome! We are small but friendly just like EilonwyG said X3

Sorry for the late welcome, somehow i missed this one but Hello and welcome to the boards! Its a smaller group but we do post (well Rainbow and I mostly ^^" sorry about that in advance) and we are happy to have you here! Song's are pretty *_* cant wait to see~

I used to live in CO around 10-11 years ago~

Songs are a beautiful mold. I've been contemplating one myself. Can't wait to see yours!

@RainbowCheckers - Thank you! I'm liking it here so far! The pictures are beautiful and the dolls are too!

@Poiizu- Thank you! I am learning how to use the forum response so I can post more in other topics.

@JinMay- Oh really? I am planning on moving from CO in about a tear or so..I miss living back east . I am so stoked to finally have a MSD of my own. I've been wanting one for years *.*

@EilonwyG- I will definitely post pics when I get him! I plan to get my mum to make a wig for him ...we'll see how that goes @.@

Oh neat! Well congrats :3 and gotta love the East!

Glad to hear it~
Once your comfortable enough with the forums, I hope to see you posting around and contributing some of your own beautiful work. ;3

@JinMay- yeah , most of my family is out back east. I kinda miss them..and more stuff to do in a closer space

@RainbowCheckers - I sure will...tho I'm not very good at pictures or anything .

@Illihanna
I started off really bad when I got my first doll. It just something that you'll get better at with practice. And if you want advise, the people here would love to help give tips for better pictures.

If you want examples, I can show you some of my first pictures, and some recent ones. xD I'm sure the early photos I took would make what ever you take look amazing.

@RainbowCheckers- Thanks! I would love pictures from then and now! Could you please show me or reference a link?

No worries, I started off pretty bad as well bu now if you look though my dA, like first pave compared to the last its pretty different!

Sure thing~ I just hope that your eyes don't bleed. xD;

These are some of my first pictures of my first doll:
Completely blurry, Can't even see anything, Really grainy, and Still grainy

Now, here are some recent better photos:
Bory girl, Bory again, Breakaway , and Glati before he was painted

So, as you can see, I've improved quite a bit. xD
It's all just practice and learning how to capture things you like with your camera. There are some pictures I've taken a really long time ago that I still like now. (example) So don't be discouraged, since we all started off that way.

Thank You soo much! I feel a lot better about taking pictures . Do you mind if I add you on DA by any chance?

No problem. xD

Sure, but add the Lunar-Rain one, since I'm not on the other one at all. 83

Sorry I'm late to the party! Welcome to the forum!

@RainbowCheckers- will do! I'll most likely be under DividingSpace since my other account I'm kinda icky about ( made a DA account when I was a noob )

@Deleriumsedge- Hey there! Thanks for the warm welcome!

Whatever is fine. xD

I think many of us have gotten better with our photography after being in this hobby for some time. I know I'm the same way. Granted, it does help that I've upgraded cameras over the years, but new and spiffy cameras do diddily if you haven't practiced and learned what works. Give it time, work on it, and you too can have pretty pictures!

I wasn't even into photography before this hobby. But I've taken four classes on photography now at my high school, and I love it.
It's just one more good thing my dolls have brought me.

@EilonwyG- I have a digital camera which shoots pretty clear shots and has motion stability on it, so hopefully that will help in my picture quality . tho, I normally like taking picture in general because of my GL style but they were never DA post worthy or anything, but I get what you guys are saying and I am really looking forward to experimenting a lot with my boy what he arrives.

@RainbowCheckers- How cool! I wish my highschool had photography when I was going, we only had drawing .

We have a whole bunch of art classes at mine.
Like drawing, fiber arts, photography, digital image design, sculpture, and calligraphy to name a few. It's kept me busy over the past four years.

No way!! Man...I would have killed to have those classes you get now . To be honest? I think after I graduated, that's when my highschool opened a crap ton of new classes...I remember being pretty PO'ed when a cousin of a friend told be about the same highschool I left two years ago.
