Soom is a relatively new Korean doll company that has been creating lots of excitement with its amazing Montly Dolls (MDs, for short, limiteds that are available for sale for a month only), with a fantasy-zodiac theme. One of the more popular offerings was the May Montly Doll: Sard, A Night's Odyssey, a incubus with the beautiful 65cm Supergem body, alternate hooved legs, horns, and a head based on Soom's Dia sculpt. And he has white skin and pointy ears, which clinched the deal in my case (all my CP dolls are white skinned elves).

I love demons... not the nasty, evil kind found in religion, but amazing fantasy fallen angels or beings. The name Araqiel is from a list of fallen angels listed in the Book of Enoch and means "Earth of God."

NAME: Araqiel Iolath Chalcedony, Lord Sardonyx; Demon Lord, Elder God--God of Creation, Demon of Destruction. (Araqiel, fallen angel name; Iolath after a demon in my writings; Chalcedony, a type of stone; Sardonyx, semi-precious stone--Soom Supergems are named after stones, hence the model name, Sard).

COMPANY: Soom, DollSoom (Korean based co.)

SIZE: SuperGem (~65cm size, larger than Volks SD-13)

HEAD SCULPT: Soom MD Sard, A Night's Odyssey (very similar to the Soom Dia head).

BODY SCULPT: SuperGem Male

SKIN TONE: White Skin

MAKEUP (Faceup): Default Soom Sard; body blushing: Soom Sard

With Sokaris (Soom Euclase), also wearing Tous Les Garcons.

Only about two years after I got him, I finally switched Araqiel's human feet to his hoofed feet. I'd made sure to put extra layers of MSD and acrylic matte finish over the blushing, and moleskin-sueded the joints.

I didn't buy the Sard default outfit, but I picked up the Soom Chrom default outfit in a split on DoA. It looked great with his red eyes... I never thought Araqiel would be a red-head, but the Jpop wig looked fantastic with the outfit...

Just love the daylight coming in from the windows...
