When I got my first bjd, and got into this whole dolly thing, I got really curious about sculpting one my self so of course I had to try it. This is my first try, and she is still very unfinished. I'm putting the pictures up since she has all the parts there, allthough there's still a lot of work to do. Now that she's together all that's left is prettyfying and making her work smootly ^^ I'm hoping to get to casting one day when she's finished. There are still mistakes etc. so if you notice something, I've probably noticed it too but haven't just got to it yet. I'm still going to downsize and lower the bust, the arms, thin the legs, give her more facial features and little things like that. But here are some photos what she can do even unfinished. (Ignore the crappy photographing.) Thanks for watching and please leave a comment ^^
She seems to be posing really well, and that seems to be the hard part! I bet she'll be a great doll once she's finished!
I think the legs look fine.....Looks like you've done a great job!...and she poses so well!! I was working on one this evening using paper clay just to get the feel for the shapes....I need lots of practice LOL!!
Thank you for comments everyone ^^ I really can't wait to finish her, I'll post more pics when I've made some progress. I'm glad that people like her posing, I think it is one of the most important parts in a doll I just hope I manage to make her look pretty too.
Oh, WOW!! You're really good at this!! I'd definitely suggest shortening the arms a little bit, but other than that, she's beautifully proportioned and she poses WONDERFULLY -- I can't wait to see what she's like when she's finished! -- Andi :>
you did an awesome job! my first try was lumpy, couldn't stand and had wonky parts, I luv your scuplt's posing the most, you have talent.
That's awesome! I'm in the process of making my own, though it'll probably end up... not good. You did wonderfully! I can't wait to see her finished.
What a great job you did on her! She is very well proportioned overall. I do agree with Andi that the arms might need to be shortened a wee bit. Great posing. Very nice indeed
What a lovely little darling! I'm putting finishing touches on one about that size right now (his name is Toph). Im also working on a larger darling which I hope to re cast in resin... Its hard work!! Congratulations!
Thank you for all the nice comments, it really was great to read through them again! I just wanted to bring this thread back to life and let you know that the project ain't six feet under, but it's getting along slowly but surely. I've started gessoing some of the parts, her joints are beginning to work together and I've almost got her to look the way I want ^^ There's still a bit of work to do, I'll try to take more pictures from now on. Here is a little shot of my work table in the meanwhile.
she looks really good but i can see the comparison to a AR/BF doll. I do like the fact you putted her bust part higher. i have seen a vage picture of the new ar blossemed body they are gonna release and i think they did the same on it. (it was a concept sculp on the artists page... but i cant find it anymore.. i looked on the net for weeks for this sculpters site..and when i find it i forget to save it.....) It indeed looks way more elagant! Her head does look a little bit small but i have a fat head ren so..i guess i cant say to much about that Somehow the hip-body joint looks kinda strange.. it looks liker her hip joint is to small or her behind to puffy ;D but i guess your still working on that, sitting it does look great. If you ever get to casting her, and cast her more then ones..i would love to buy a body from you.
The face is starting to be finished, I just need to fix the lips, add a bit chin, fit the eyeholes and add ears ^^ I'll be taking full body pics when I get the two last parts redone. But here you go for now:
Yup, I've tried to fix the 'puffy' behind, and I hope I managed it somewhat ;D Her head is also bigger now since she needs to hold a 6/6,5 wig. (I though it was really small too, I also have LF ren X3 ) I'll try to take fullbodypics soon ^^ She looks quite different now. Unfortunately getting just the body might be in vain... she's only 35-38cm(I have to measure exactly), and I don't think any other heads would fit it. I'm planning on a mature msd doll next though.
she really is coming to life now, what a beautiful face she has. can't wait for the next lot of pics!
She is coming along so nicely! I love her profile and those hands are so delicate looking. I'm frequently astounded by the artists on this board and you are no exception.
Thank you everyone ^^ No, I skulpted them myself, though that might be a very handy way to make the joints.
Ah that would be lovely...if you make it for the AR head XDDDD I'm actually thinking of sculpting a head myself... i by accident sculpted a good head last week !! i was going for a monster concept thing.. when i ended up with a pretty good face.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/Naiarasaira/DSCF1397.jpg i only have this silly picture.
Maria43 Thanks ^^ I used Fimo Puppen, I think it's a sort of polymerclay, if I've understood right what polymer is... NaiaraYeah I'm planning to skulpt it so that you can use another companys/companies heads too :3 Maybe AR That looks quite nice btw, I hope you can finishe the head ^^
Here are a few body pics. It's still very unfinished funktionally and I'm still working on how I want it to look. But at least you can see where I'm going ^^ I made the big hooters for my own amusement, she's really going to get a more modest chest X) Oh, and I also named her Aino :3 It's old and traditional finnish girls name meaning 'my only one'. ^^
^_^ She can stand so well! I really like how you've made her. ^_^ Can't wait for the costume for her.
Oh but her perky little breasts are so utterly wonderful for the rest of her!! Dooon't sand them off! I can't believe the wonderful work you've done here. She is going to be fabulosity itself.
