New Addition to the Collection

in #blog2 days ago

Just bought this model by Romankey and it is gorgeous. While classified under toys, these models serve more like art support items to help artists learn how to render without paying for a live model. Here's some souvenirs from the unboxing.

I could stare at the screen and get my eyes exhausted fast or I can just

I also have the hand model by Tsukuru Shirahig / Supervision by Takahiro Kagami

Other items on the collection are human anatomy models and anything that displays a more detailed look for anatomy reference. I prefer "investing" on ball joint dolls / figures because the ease of manipulating the model for a specific reference when I want to draw.

I think I spent around 250$ to 300$ for my current collection as some of these items are original and others are just knock offs.

Collecting anime figures for hot waifus is tempting but it's easier to rationalize that I'm spending for educational materials with my art hobby.

Next target on the list is the Female Model

And after, maybe some investment on doll clothing and consider using the dolls for portrait photography practice.

My train of thought when it comes to hobbies is finding something I could scale the hobby with.

Thanks for your time.

Thats an expensive toy 🧸 they look like a Warhammer figures 🤺

I'm a fan of Warhammer but only entertained buying their figures for mecha drawing reference once. It's on the to buy list but not high priority. Thanks for stopping by~

That looks awesome. I remember your other post about a similar doll probably some years ago, it's nice to see you're still collecting them. The waifus can be your inspiration or a reminder to draw though (great excuse) :D

looks like he's collecting husbandos as well. mwuahahahaha.

Taguro husbandos 😂

I don't recall posting about collecting dolls but I think I mentioned @demotry giving me UMP45

For the collection of gun girls. Still cheaper than hiring an actual live model to post~

It was more like a doll for drawing similar to this one, but girl version

True, that's why I draw myself XDD
