Welcome to the Echelon!

ech·e·lon [esh-uh-lon]
–noun
1. a level of command, authority, or rank: the top echelon of city officials.


:star:Our Mission:star:
:bulletpink: To promote active participation and a warm welcoming environment, for BJD lovers of all types.

:star:Joining:star:
:bulletpink: We have open joining. All you need to do is click the join button located at the top.


:star:General Group Rules:star:
:bulletpink: You do not need to own a BJD to be a member. Please feel free to join our group even if you're only a fan of BJD photography. Here at the Echelon, we welcome artists and watchers alike.
:bulletpink: Be courteous to others.
:bulletpink: Please no drama, spamming, or fighting.
:bulletpink: Have fun and enjoy your stay here at the Echelon!


:star:Submitting Rules:star:
:bulletpink: You must be a member to submit to our club.
:bulletpink: (Currently) 3 deviations are allowed per folder, per day. The amount may change after we grow in members.
:bulletpink: Please submit to the correct folders, or you risk your deviation being declined.
:bulletpink: We do allow mature content. Please be sure your deviation is placed into the gallery folder labeled "Mature". Only artistically nude or suggestive BJD photography will go here, nothing crass.
:bulletpink: Submit YOUR OWN work! Plagiarism is not permitted.
:bulletpink: Please only submit your BEST work to the group. You do not need to be a professional photographer, but it would be nice if the picture is at least an attempt to be artistic.
:bulletpink: Please submit only 1 photo from a particular shoot! If all of your submissions look too much alike, we will choose the best and deny the others. This includes; many photos with the same poses but different angles, many photos with the same background and not much diversity, etc.
:bulletpink: Spontaneous snapshots and poor quality photos will be declined. Photos that are too blurry, grainy, light/dark, may also be declined (if is is intentional that is fine, but it must be easily recognized as intentional).
:bulletpink: Photos that have added textures or small manipulations are allowed as long as a BJD is still seen well enough in the picture. Heavy photo manipulations however, are not allowed.
:bulletpink: If you do not follow the submission rules, we have the right to deny/move/remove your deviation/s from the club.
:bulletpink: If you do not follow the rules, or if you cause trouble, we have the right to remove you and your deviations from the club.

:star: Other Important Infomation :star:
:bulletpink: Failure to follow the rules can result in the removal of you or your deviations from the group!
:bulletpink: We update many times a week and sometimes many times a day. If the constant updates are a bother, then you can just turn off journals/deviations/etc for the club in your friends/watch options.
:bulletpink: If at any time you put a deviation in storage that's submitted to our group, please know it will be removed. When you decide to remove it from storage though, you are always welcome to resubmit it.
:bulletpink: If you decide to leave the group please know that non-members aren't allowed deviations within our group, so your pictures will be removed.

Does anyone know where I can find (print or buy) a Kimono pattern? I bought an authentic kimono on the promises it would fit me. It didn't. So to get the money back that I paid for it, I'd like to make it into BJD (or Barbie) sized Kimonos.

If you're on DoA, there's this thread. - [link]

It's basically a lot of links and piecing together instead of one exact pattern. I think she/he may have even altered it for her dolls from a normal kimono pattern, but hers turned out really nice. Worth a look anyway right? Hope it helps a bit! It's all I could find!

Thanks for the help ^_^ I am on the site though I don't post (can't post pictures of Seria, she's a Pullip :cry:) And at least it's a start :aww: I can resize it as I need it for 1/4th and 1/6th (SD is 1/3rd, right?)

:iconlucidrequiem:
Sd = 1/3 so yeah it would be quite a bit smaller ^^; I didn't even check to see what size you might need, but could always play with the measurements!

Sorry about that! I forgot to fix the folder options when I made the folder and I had just moved over the existing photostories. The options have been changed and you should be able to submit to the folder now =) Let me know if there's any more problems submitting to it!
