    2. Here's a picture of her ears(undetailed)... Exiting isn't it. This is one elfversion, I'm thinking of making another one with smaller elfears. And of course there will be human version too, but I felt like doing these now ^^ I've started to look for resin, so if you have any suggestions don't hesitate to tell.

      Oh, I also made her a headcap that snaps on place so you don't need an s-hook for that. she won't have an s-hook anyways, but a different mechanism.

    3. You'll have to put vents/sprues on the ends of her ears so you don't get bubbles in them if they're going to be that long, it also might be kind of hard to get her out of the mold. That's why most companies with long eared dolls have the ears cast seperately. :3

      smoothon.com sells a super sampler kit for $25 that includes a pint of resin and a pint or silicone, which should be enough for you to cast her head at least and get some practice and used to the casting. she looks adorable~~ I love the way her face turned out. :D

    7. Thanks for the comments! If there is interest I will gladly make Ainos for sale too ^^

      Yes, I thought I might have to, but I was planning on a two-part mold anyway so getting the head out shoudn't be a broblem ^^ Thanks for the advice though. I also checked that smooth-on kit(thanks!), but I decided to order resin from France, it's in EU and seems nice and easy. I'm going to order a test gallon sometime at the end of the month. I already found some moldrubber from here, and I will test how it works.

      And thank you, I've started to like her face myself too ^^

    9. I finished the 'mechanism' for the head. She can look down and up and tilti her head ^^ The headcap snaps on place, and the string attaches to the end of the neck, so there's no need for an s-hook.

    11. AMAZING
      seems like she can pose in any crasy pose you want to try! xD
      Just one litle detail... seems to have the arms a little longer than she has to had.... maybe just for the photo.... I'm not sure, because it's seems to me in the first photos but not in the page 2 and 3 photos!!

      The head is amazing, and, how can she move her head too!! (and i luv her ears xDD)

      GREAT JOB!!

      The last sanding round is starting ^^ I also need to modify the lips a bit, I'm not exactly happy them( but I'd really like to hear your opinion :3 ). Then I need to adjust the eyesockets, but otherwise I should be able to start making the mold during this weekend ^^

    22. this is so cool! After seeing so many ppl's attempts i really wanna make one myself. but i might make one after i get my second doll and get into Uni. I don't wanna freak my parents out too much just yet. I wish i found out homw to make one like back in September then my art-project would have been to make a doll.

      My deadline is in a month and there is no way i can learn how to sculpt and make a finished doll in 4 weeks.

    26. Nice that someone is interested ^^ There are no updates right now because I've been waiting so I could order the resin and molrubber. I can finally order them this week! Some parts still need a tad finishing and sanding, but I have time for that while the resin travels. I'll put her back together soon and take some fullbody pics next ^^

      Eiko82, yes I'm planning on making a small series of Ainos for sale :) But I will get to that after I have the first casts, made sure that the molds work properly, and I have the first Aino face upped and standing ^^

      Thank everyone for your nice comments!

    32. Mich, I painted it with gesso, it goes to the small dents and then I can sand it smooth.

      The resin and moldrubber I ordered are here \o/ I'm hoping to start on the first molds this weekend ^__^

      Logodae, Aino does have a body :3 I just need to take a picture of it put together now that I've fixed it quite a bit.

      Thank you for all the others too for such nice comments <3

      A Leekesize wig that I bought came in a grouporder and I'm getting it next tuesday, so I won't start to make the molds untill I can test how it fits her head ^^

    39. Number four has a nice 'realness' to it, but I do indeed like number 6 as you chose! (for a flesh tone).

      And, Did I mention I absolutly ADORE her little ears / nose?! :D
