Introducing Rheven! (updated, more photos bottom p1)

[torythehuman]

I just picked up my new doll from the post office today, Rheven! She's a Fairy head on a 27cm Obitsu SB body - she arrived with a faceup and her eyes already installed (since I ordered the set-up service) and she looks fantastic!

I am kinda unhappy with her outfit, I wish I thought it through a little more and just got the jeans and stuck one of my Isul's tees on her, but she looks cute regardless! The sleeves of the blouse are separate, I'm trying to decide whether to just take them off and have her sleeveless.

I chose her name from a Lord of the Rings name generator a loooooong time ago. A semi-character of mine is an elf named Rhevenil/Rheven, and I've wanted her in doll form for ages. I use the name whenever I RP as an elf, videogames and RPGs alike. Anyway, thank you for reading, this got a little long but I'm so excited! It's a little weird seeing her teeny head next to my Isuls and Dal, but that's okay, I'll get used to it, haha!

She's cute, congrats! I love her name, how do you pronounce it?

I think you should take off the sleeves, I think it's those ribbons that's making the outfit look a bit strange. xD

Yeah, I think the ribbons make her look a bit out of proportion, I took them off and she's much better now!

And her name is pronounced reh-ven, kind of like "raven" but with a short e instead of an a sound.

Yay, the mystery doll is here Congrats -- it must be really cool to have a touchable, poseable "real" incarnation of a character that's been in your head for ages.
I like her skirt.
I don't keep my Pullips and J-Dolls right beside each other, because it does look weird, the head difference
Hope you have fun with her!

She's cute! I'd probably take the sleeves off, too.

She is very pretty! Her face looks like a tiny elf warrior.

Thank you for the kind words everyone!

I changed her shirt to one of Mao's and she looks MUCH better - I feel like her personality is starting to pop out a bit!

also can I just say how fun and amazing it is to have a doll that can stand by herself? It makes photos so much easier, haha!

Ohhh that's such a good outfit for her! And yes, I'm so used to Blythes... when I got my orange-head she stood by herself and I was beside myself with joy lol

She looks great in this outfit. W
and I agree with the standing part, while it was strange getting first proportionate doll (her head seemed so small ), I could not get over the fact that she could stand on her own.

I was playing around with my phone and one of those universal clip-on lens sets and got some really cool shots with the macro! no editing, just used the lighting I had handy. I think they turned out pretty well, if I do say so myself!
