My daughter is in town with my youngest grandson. She brought a merman suit so we could get some photos at the beach... I was a bit worried; didn't know how to Man it up. Love, love, love this kid!
JHDFashion: 2022 Moment Of Fantasy: Empires of the Sea "Poseidon" Adonis Doll
My very first Adonis doll from JHDFashion! And of course he just had to be a muscular "Herculean" merman. I knew he was a must-have the moment I saw his promo pics about a month ago. He's even more impressive in person. I'm swooning <3

POSEIDON, KING OF THE MERMAID EMPIRE, MAJESTICALLY HOLDS THE TRIDENT, WEARING A SKINTIGHT TOP THAT FEATURES WILD PRINTS AND GEM-EMBELLISHMENTS, HIS UNIQUE TAIL MYSTERIOUSLY GLITTERS IN THE LIGHT, EXUDING A STATELY POWERFUL ATMOSPHERE. AS THE SUPREME MASTER OF THE SEAS, HE IS INVINCIBLE AND WIDELY WORSHIPPED.
One of the first printed records about this gate stated in 1859 "Of all old monuments in the Rhine valley, none as mysterious as the portal (...) near the church in Remagen".
The Pfarrhoftor (= Gateway to the parish close) still is enigmatic. It may have been erected for a nearby monastery, that centered around an St. Apollinaris shrine, it may have been in deed a gate to a parish close. Actually it known since the 17th century, when parts of it were found, walled in between the rectory and the encircling wall. The parts were recovered and like pieces of a puzzle joined together.
Though the cope stone was lost, the large arch was easy to reconstruct. Wether the smaller side portal originally was left or right is unclear.
The 22 carved reliefs here have triggered more than a dozend different theories. I will quote some. The carving style was not appreciated by the art-historians. Already Wilhelm Bode ("Geschichte der Deutschen Plastik") wrote in 1887 that the carver was "without any artistic ambition".
For me this portal has parallels in Linden and Goegging. All three portals are roughly carved - and enigmatic, blending christian, pagan and ancient icons. The only point, that is undisputed is, that the portal was erected in the second half of the 12th century.
It may be, that the reliefs, seen here, are just single icons, that are not interconnected to a certain "iconographic program". This is claimed by Paul Clement (1938), Georg Dehio (1933) and Josef Minn (1942). In 1947 Albert M. Koeniger published the results of his research, interpreting the reliefs as icons of eight (!) deadly sins as described by Bishop Burchard of Worms (965-1025), author of a canon law collection (aka "Decretum Burchardi").
A fish-tailed bird with bearded human face.
Is this a male bird-siren? But then it should have a bird´s tail. Or a merman with wings? Some claim it is a harpy. For Koeninger this icon stands for vanity and/or foolishness. The artistic style of this carving is clearly different. It is way more ambitious. The beard of the chimaera is curly, the hair is nicely combed. Note the tip of the wing! The artist even used a stone driller here.

Strobist details: A Godox TT600 with a CTO gel to the left, in high-speed-sync mode so I could keep the aperture at f/2.8, triggered by the XProO in my hotshoe.
Here’s my hand sculpted ball jointed mermaid Allan doll sculpted from polymer clay called living doll. What started out as an experiment in making clay molds of vintage dolls ended up in a very lengthy sculpting project in seeing if I can make a 1/6th scale merman with a jointed tail.
Lol my grasp on human anatomy is a bit awful, but I like to think for my first fully jointed BJD I did a pretty decent job. Doing this definitely helped me work out a lot of questions I had with sculpting a bjd from scratch including how to make a decent jointing system.
I won’t make this body available to purchase since if I did I would need to refine the heck out of this body before committing to have him cast and potentially deal with a lot of money which isnt something I can commit to yet.
I debated whether or not I should add extra paint detail to this tail but after my Galaxy Centaur custom, I realised too much paint detail would just make me handle this doll less lol.
I’m also really happy I got to do a sleeping face up since I’ve been wanting to do more but haven’t found the right doll to do so. I’ve also body blushed him but I guess it’s super subtle cuz photos don’t really showcase it.
Anyway, I know he’s not perfect but for my first bjd sculpt I’m pretty happy with him lol.

This mer-detail of the 1539 tomb of Siro Anghinolfi, Provost of the Duomo of Parma caught my eye when I was there earlier this month.
Taken in Riverside Park South. Part of a show of sculpture created my members of the Art Students' League.
Ploutev vyrobená z latexu. Velice dobře se s ní plave. Báječný pocit. /Monoflosse gemacht aus Latex. Sehr gut mit ihr schwimmen. Ein wunderbares Gefühl. / Monofin made of latex. Very well with her swimming. A wonderful feeling.
OK, I couldn't wait: here's Jason with his cool new body, I'm planning on crafting him a mermaid-tail though.
His eyes look very Disney somehow. I like the color but not the shape... well, he's up to a face-up, soon!
