Stolen from the awesome

1. How long have YOU been dolling?
July 2003. Aka far too long. lol

2. You have to like something about it; what is it? What do you enjoy dolling?
It's a hobby. Way to kill time on rainy days. I've always loved pretty things, and dolling gives me an excuse to make some. Hence my soft spot for gowns and dresses. I also love the accomplised feeling you get when you put the finishing touches on a doll you are particularly proud of. lol.

3. What do you HATE dolling, eh? You know, clothes, hair..
Hair. And Black clothes. cos I'm not very good at either. lol

4. Your favorite part of your dolls, usually is:
Folds folds folds! That and the jewellery/flowers/sparkles and other lil touches that finishes off a doll

5. What do you put the most effort into: clothes/hair/stuff..or base editing?
Definitely the clothes. They are usually the main focus of my dolls, so I tend to concentrate mostly on those

6. Bases are a staple of the dolling community. Do you like using them, or do you prefer to go baseless?
I'm such a base user. lol. My knowledge of the the human anatomy is unfortunately limited to the squidgy bloody bits on the inside. Besides, there are so many great bases out there these days, you can't help but want to try them out

7. Not all dollers are basemakers..are you?
Nope.I've tried once or twice, and may do so again in the future (far future, lol) but I'm not a regular basemaker. (see previous comment about my grasp of the human anatomy. lol)

8. Are you part of any dolling forums?
Yes, even though I have a bad habit of lurking. Currently, I'm hanging around GLAM a lot ^_^

9. This community can suck ass sometimes. List for us FOUR pet peeves when it comes to the doll community, that you just wanna strangle people for:
strangle is a strong word, but some stuff I'd like to see improved
- Frankendolling. self explanatory.
- Lack of CC in the community - slightly hypocritic of me seeing as I rarely give out cc myself (usually only if 1- there's something to mention and 2- if I know the doller can handle it). But there's always the fear of accidently offending someone XD
- Tolerance of differing opinions - The dolling world is full of grey areas, live and let live, peoples ^_^
Only three, cos I can't think of a fourth XD

10. But there's awesome people here, too! List three of your favorite dollers.
Just three? You can't be serious?
- This girl can do dresses like nobody's business
- my newest dolling idol. Like I've told her, it's not human to be able to pixel so smoothly. She's also always up for giving people CC, which is something I admire.
- I'm no tooler, but if I am, I'd wanna tool like dollmama.
- blue knows her stuff. Go read her tutorials if you haven't already.
- one word. hair. (Not to mention she's sweet enough to rot your teeth - and I mean that in the nicest possible way, of course )

Speaking of three people...Tag three dollers to do this
Again, just three? Dollers - knock yourselves out

Sunny's Terms of Use

Dolls and Pixels labeled unadoptable are (naturally ) unadoptable. This means you shouldn't display them on your site - they are usually made for a specific someone

Always link back to me if you choose to adopt (display my dolls) anywhere. Text or banner, doesn't matter. As long as the credit's on the same page as the doll, I'm happy

Do not claim that my dolls are yours. My dolls are not open resources - do not change them in anyway, or make your dolls/graphics using parts of mine. - The only exception to this would be my bases:

If you use one of my bases for your dolls, link back to me. Text, button, whatever. It has to be on the SAME page as my base.

Feel free to edit these bases as much as you like, but rule one still applies!

Show me your work if you want! I'd love to see them and would love to showcast them at my site. (with your permission, of course.)

[puts on serious face] *cough*

Due to the recent drama going on in the dolling community with regards to ambiguous terms of use , I thought I'd post a version of my terms up in dA, just to clarify things and prevent misunderstanding.

Pasted from my site:

If you want to make a dollmaker out of my bases... well... email me and I'll think about it XD

If you aren't sure of whether these terms apply to you or not, feel free to contact me.

China's unblocked dA. thank goodness. I was worried it was going to be a permanent ban, like with geocities.

In other news, results are out and I've been accepted into med school.

Two more days till christmas.

Life is good ^_^

Currently holidaying in Shanghai at the moment. This is the first time I've been back for ten years, so I'm awfully excited. There are so many things to see and do, and omg the shopping XD The city is rather dusty during the day, (and cold - yay for wintery christmases XD) but at night, when all the lights are on on the tall buildings, the view is simply wonderful

Going to visit beijing next week. Great wall, here I come!

Funky asian internet connection does mean I have trouble accessing geocities for some reason... could be due to censorship or just bad connection... I seem to be able to access other sites fine though... anyway, if you are wondering why I'm not updating my site, this is why

Yay for summer holidays!!! And time for Dolling!!! ^_^

felt ridiculously happy to upload my first doll in almost nine months. lol. I swear, uni takes over your life

Now there's just the nervewracking wait for results

In the meantime, i shall enjoy my dolling freedom.

I think I shall convert all my dolls into png sometime, just coz I don't really like the whole preview thing... besides, I have time to kill, anyway
