Description

Another of my original characters from my novel : “Tarak” Kader [The Mercenary]

I still haven't found a good BJD to embody him  


Meaning of Tarak's tattoos :

"ُتألمتُ، فتعلمتُ، فتغيرت" = I Suffered, I Learned, I Changed.

إيمانك يجب أن يكون أكبر من خوفك = Your faith has to be greater than your fear.

Thank you so much for your kind words ^^
I was thinking of an Iplehouse Roger for him but I'm not convinced. I thought of Falcon also (modded to get a broken nose).... I'm a bit lost at the moment xD But I don't have the money right now for a doll so I will just wait ^^

Oh yeah, money struggles to get dolls are very common xD ahahaha I think an Iplehouse sculpt would indeed suit him very well! I don't own an Iplehouse myself and I really wish I had, cause they're GORGEOUS.... But also so expensive ._.

Yeah indeed xS But, at the same time, I think it's great that I have to wait and so can't make an "impulse purchase". it would probably be the last BJD I will buy so I prefer to wait and make the perfect right choice xD

Oh btw, your dolls are very lovely !!

Awn I wish I had such control over my dolls T_T I'm kinda addicted to the hobby, I never stop buying customizing, selling, changing byuing again... *Sigh*... It's good and bad at the same time xD It's nice to keep moving, but I lack a lot of consistency! I really admire those who can push away the impulse and think well about their dolls! I'm actually trying my best to do that at the moment!!

And thank yoy so much for the compliment! I'm glad you like my dolls!

Well I won't blame you, before I used to buy a lot of dolls with my friend xS But now I think I have nearly all the dolls I really like so I naturally buy less and less. actually, now i'm only sending dolls I bought to face-ups for example. I have a lot of unfinished dolls and i really want to finish them properly ^^
So don't worry, I did buy dolls without thinking enough but I was just lucky the dolls concerned always worked for my OCs xD so I never had to sell one of my dolls (better work to pay the rent than selling a doll ; my boyfriend was many times mad at me XD).

Aaah, yes T_T Finishing the dolls... I'm actully working on that too... i'm selling the floating heads I have to buy bodies for dolls I wanna keep xD
I'm glad my girlfriend is into dolls too, so she understands me when I don't wanna go out to spare money for a limited edition I wanna buy ahahahaha

It's so great you can share a passion, a hobby with your girlfriend ! you're lucky ^^ my boyfriend is definitely not interested in dolls ; he just stands them but he frequently says he doesn't understand me at all (i'm guessing it's not enough "macho" in his opinion to buy dolls but well fuck it - he's still a great guy despite this xD ahaha)

Bodies are generally the big pb for me too. They are so expensive and they take so much place in the flat -_- for the moment, i try to use each body I have for different OCs that share the same type of skin, musculature etc, but when I will start customizing these bodies, I will have to buy new bodies too T_T I have the horrible feeling I will never be able to finish my dolls XD

He works for the United Nations ? I think I recognize the badge. Also he looks like a bit like your Dante (a reason for it ? I'm curious )
I love the contrast between the refinement of the framework and the brutality of the skull and the painting for blood.

Indeed. He also gives most benefits of the other aspects of his work as a "mercenary" to foundations that help children.
The contrast you like is here to show that he's a brilliant good man, but also a soldier and so a man who has and is able to kill (even if it's to defend people only, it shows it's a man capable of some brutality).

Concerning Dante, he has no link with him, but the thing is Axel has a little thing for Tarak, though he's with Dante (yeah it's canon now !!! super official XD), so I wanted Tarak and Dante (who on the paper share similarities anyway - strong, tall, black hair, tanned skin etc) in the same style.
