Dominic

There's a new guy in the house. Dominic, by SartoriaJ, arrived last week, a whole eight months after I ordered him last October. I've never had to wait that long for anyone ever before!

Anyways, since I'm determined to work on my House Elves, and I don't have a costume design in mind for him just yet, I quickly made some underwear, socks, and pants, borrowed Lawrence's formal shirt, and found a half decent Monique wig, so he can stand in my work space where I can look at him and hopefully get inspired as to what I want to eventually make for him to wear.

But that Monique wig just screamed 'Musketeer', so I put the JID Musketeer tunic, hat and cloak on him.....and had to take a photo...

As good as he looks as a Musketeer, he won't be staying one.  I ordered him to become a companion to Miho, so he'll need something more suited to the Fantasy Medieval period. I will also need to make him a wig, with long dark brown hair, and maybe some graying at the temples. I'll think about it.

Anyways......back to those tiny House Elves.....

He looks amazing in that outfit. The hat suits him well. He definitely has stage presence.

He does, and that hat covers the top of that wig. But it's actually too big.

Oh wauw! Dominic is fantastic as a Musketeer but I can see him become a great Witcher!

Thanks. He's going to be a sorcerer, and I need to come up with some kind of costume design that's black and incorporates some jewel tones and feather designs. In the meantime he's just standing around as a Musketeer.

Wow, he looks amazing. Even though it's just a temporary look, he is a dashing Musketeer 😍.

Thanks. I didn't want him lingering in his box until I'm able to make his costume and wig, so temporary Musketeer he is. Who knows, maybe he and Miho can travel to the 17th century at some point, and she'd need an appropriate Musketeer era costume too?

VERY handsome - and makes a wonderful musketeer. I look forward to seeing him as a sorcerer, which sounds like a very cool concept.

Thanks. He struck me not so much as a Musketeer exactly, but from that period. When he only had Lawrence's black shirt and that Monique wig, he seemed the period, but more like one of the bad guys. Or just a nobleman.

He is incredibly handsome! I suspect he'd look good even wearing a flour sack.

Miho is in for a treat when he enters her life.

I totally understand how you couldn't just leave him in his box until you had time to work on his costume. Whenever a doll who is supposed to be a birthday or Christmas gift arrives early, the whimpering coming from inside the box demands early release :o)
