Description
I just got my FairyLand Minifee Active Line ball joint doll [link] yesterday! (This is the specific one I got [link] minus the clothes.... so naked and $200 cheaper! )
I've been wanting one for years to use as lighting reference for my semirealistic styled paintings and now I finally have one 
I couldn't wait to try it out so here's the first colored sketch of my lighting practice drawings. There are others but I'm too lazy to post them now, maybe later XD
Of course a doll can never replace a real human body but this is very handy when you just can't find a good reference. Before this, I almost never use reference when I draw, which is bad because it's harder to improve that way.
I think the Fairyland Minifee Active Line is probably the best BJD out there for this kind of purpose since it has a lot of joints and can hold many poses that other dolls can't. I got a boy doll because he looks like a girl and the girl dolls are just way too girly XD My only dislike is the head, which is really childish and almost alien looking (without the wig) compared to the body [link] (<-- so creepy) I plan on sculpting my own head to put on there XD I'll take pictures when I'm done.
Oh, I'm sure you all know this character from Project WE by now? I tend to draw this person naked all the time which makes no sense because it doesn't happen in the story. And I'm not a pervert so...I don't know! XD
Now back to commissions and Knite!
PS: in case you still haven't heard. WE is put on hold until I finish Knite so no new answer in this post.

I know you are not answering questions at this time...
and this has probably been asked before...
and you likely won't ever see this comment ayway...
but I do not care!
So here is my question, I have a very good feeling about it:
Is Project WE about dreams?
p.s. I do not ask this because of this picture, I was looking through all the others, and reading the old answers, and the idea popped into my head. But yes, this beautiful drawing made me even more suspicious, and made the decision of whether or not to ask very easy!

I like drawing people naked too, because it's easier to get the proportions right and then when they're done it looks too good to put the clothes on, then it's really disappointing with them XD

I'm curiously wondering
Are they... or some of them orphans?

This is amazing, as is everything dealing with WE and your work in general. I just wanted to really thank you becuase your work is a definite inspiration for a webcomic I am attempting to finish as my High School graduation project.
Your pictures are always dynamic with just the right amount of expression and saturation. This is lovely, as always.
I adore your work. <3

Gorgeous colouring on the stomach - I thought for some reason only that part was a photo when I first looked, lol. Your anatomy and lighting is very good, I'm surprised you're not at school for art, but did you say you draw life models anyway? I'm a bit confused why there's no detail at her crotch (it looks blurry/censored?), because the lighting suggests form everywhere else except for that area and it's a bit distracting. But either way beautiful work as always. Love your line work and style of colouring!

This is very well done. The stomach shading in particular is very realistic.
And I think I have a growing fetish for these gorgeous dolls. They're just so... so gorgeous! But I can't afford one, and if I bought one I would have nowhere to put it. My house is just not the place for such gorgeous dolls.
