Any BJD owner?

Journal Entry: Fri Jun 14, 2013, 6:23 AM
Are there any BJD owner in my watchers list? I need to ask a few things about doll maintenance >__<

unlike figures, I think dolls need lots of more care? :iconsweatplz:

I only know a bit about BJD care:

-Use silicone cap to prevent wig staining
-Don't touch the face up
-Use mr. clean (?) to clean it/don't give it a bath :v
-Don't leave it in the sun

I also heard that you can soak the wigs and clothes in water+vinegar mix and rinse it afterwards to prevent the staining? Is it true? Will the fabric color fade? Because I didn't order any bodysuit ^^;

Are there any important things that I missed? Also please tell me if I got anything wrong >_< Thanks for your time~

Comment? + Kiriban

Journal Entry: Tue Jun 4, 2013, 12:50 AM
I finished my exam week yesterday~ I already replied to all comments from everyone that came on the past weeks, thank you so much for the comments! >_<


Moving on~

Would you be so kind and give me your comment on this deviation? :D



It doesn't get much spotlight because I think not many people know the character? :lol: Anyway, I just wanted to know what you think because this is my first time using prop and sets, so please give me your thought on how it turned out :D Does it look unnatural? Or about the lighting? Furniture placement? etc? :P Critique and suggestion are highly appreciated~

And please comment in the deviation, not in this journal :dance:



Kiriban @ 25,555 pageviews!
Winner will get 10 of his/her deviation featured in my journal :D

This is the doll I bought:

He's so pretty, right? I like cute boys, bite me :P 

I also buy him a red wig, boots, stripes shirt, and goggles.

:iconchibimattplz:

Yeah I'm always ended up rotating around Matt or Saiyuki :v
I'm a total beginner so I will need lots of help with my BJD later >_<


Another thing, my exam weeks start tomorrow, so please be patience if I take longer time to replies :D

Thank you for all your faves, comments, and new watchers! Hope you'll keep enjoy my future works!

Ball Jointed Doll!

Journal Entry: Thu Feb 21, 2013, 9:29 PM
A.k.a. BJD :XD:

So I found a trusted local online store in Indonesia that can handle buying BJD from the international site~

Right now I'm saving money like crazy to buy one wwwww

I'm aiming to buy a DOD doll, the DOC one coz it's cheaper.

The price is 300 something USD or around 3,000,000 IDR

But the shipping cost and the clothes probably will be a bit expensive, so my goal is to collect 5,000,000 IDR before ordering one (5,000k IDR could get about 10 nendoroids in Indonesia :XD:)

Wish me luck? :"3

Frequently Asked Questions

Journal Entry: Sat Dec 8, 2012, 3:13 AM
Here is a FAQ journal, because I noticed that lots of people have been asking me same questions :D


Frequently Asked Questions

:bulletblue:What type of camera and lens do you use?
I use a Nikon D90 with 1.4 f 50mm fixed lens

:bulletblue:Where do you buy your figures?
I bought mine in a local online shop in Indonesia, but for international sales I think you can try many sites like amiami and Good Smile online shop.

:bulletblue:Is figure photography though?
Not at all, it is actually pretty easy because you have small models so you can use small and cheap equipments from everyday things :XD:

:bulletblue:I want to start doing figure photography but I don't know how! Help?
Well first of all, go buy a figure :lol: You can start shooting anywhere, including your own room. Here is some of my tutorials to help with some basic stuffs:


:bulletblue:How many figures do you have/what type of figures do you collect?
I've stopped counting but I think about 30 something and the number is still going up :lol: It varies from nendoroid, figma, PVC, revoltech, gunpla, and other stuffs.

:bulletblue:May I share your photo in fb/tumblr/twitter/etc?
Sure, but please don't remove the watermarks and do not claim it as yours :D I trust you guys :''<
