Discussion August 23: Weird, weeeeeeird LEs!

Aug 23, 2011

    1. There are a lot of beautiful and detailed LE dolls out there! Every month, there seem to be a bunch of new ones, all with special wigs, special outfits, special shoes, special eyes! And they’re fairies, pirates, werewolves, circus performers!

      Don’t you feel that eventually these will have to be the craziest, most out-there dolls you can buy? Don’t you think you should design one ahead of time and be a prophet of the future?

      Your mission: Design the most over-the-top limited edition doll you can think of. Ghost pirate with glowing urethane-meets-LED eyes and jointed tentacles, roller-derby fairy with jointed wings and working, motorized roller skates-- make it original, make it wild!

      Post your idea into the thread as though you were pitching it to a doll company. They want weird! Weird sells! Feel free to include sketches and inspirational pictures and links (please remember not to hotlink images, though!).

      Go for it! Weird, over- the- top LE’s are the future!
       
    2. Ooooh! How fun! Maybe I can put some of this
      drawing obsession of mine to good use! You
      guys come out with the best ideas I swear. XD
       
    3. Ahem.
      Doll designs are becoming increasingly diverse - humanoid animals, monsters, robots etc etc. But one demographic hasnt been dollified yet - that's right, old people!
      Perhaps elderly dolls wont be so popular you say, well maybe not but we can certainly corner the market if we start producing wrinkly resin now!
      Of course, an old doll might not appear so dynamic and appealing to the BJD market so I've combined my granny doll with a fantasy element and created... The Demon Geriatric!

      Because horns and wings make everything cool, right!?
      ...Right?
      ...

      [​IMG]
       
    4. This sounds like fun! I'll try it out and come back with something later. :)

      @disco biscuit: LOL! :lol: Demon Geriatric! I'd like to see the doll companies try to design that!
       
    5. What about the typical Gray little black eyed alien:fangirl:. I`ve never heard of an alien bjd before. And to be honest I would have loved to have a little gray big eyed alien.

      [​IMG]

      Just found this on photobucket. And this is exactly how I would have wanted my little alien to look:) I might just get someone to make me a bjd like that one day. I`m not into aliens, space or sience etc. but come on aliens are cute;)

      You could have this alien in gray, white or green. And choose different color you want on the eyes<3
       
    6. I want a naga sooo baaaaaaad.
      We have centaurs, gargoyles, fairies and fawns. Time for something new!
      He is the pet snake you have always wanted and he doubles as a merman! :D

      [​IMG]
       
    7. yeah a naga would be pretty awesome!
       
    8. Manabusama! Your alien got me thinking but I like my aliens more... Star War-ish!

      How about this guy? He comes with his mount: another alien creature, four arms, and a body in luminescent green resin!

      [​IMG]
       
    9. Haha that looks cool:) Well even though I am not thaaat into space and sience. I do enjoy some sience fiction movies now and then. Gonna get all the star wars movies sooner or later some time:) My bro have them but I want them my self to.
       
    10. Oooo...now I have to include an old concept of mine for an art doll here, my Anthrotroid ...and he's a fellow who's been with me since '97...when my only knowledge of BJDs were art dolls and traditional ball jointed dolls and puppets. Be back shortly.
       
    11. To be fair to the hopes and aspirations of my younger self who actually dreamed many times of turning this fellow into a ball-jointed reality I couldn't not introduce A.R.T.H.R.O.T.R.O.I.D. - the Synthetically Designed Bipedal Anthropod. I used to doodle him a lot in various forms in my late teens and in my early 20s actually tried turning him into an art doll but didn't have the skills to achieve what I wanted....so who knows, one day given the time you may actually see this guy in resin form out of respect for my younger self:-
      [​IMG]

      I'd intended for him to be completely jointed, fingers included and had wanted to cast him in various forms - from opaque resin with something of a texture between crocodile and sea urchin to an electric blue semi translucent resin version embedded with optic fibre "veins" + a central red resin "heart" from which the main light source would originate that would run though the optic cable.

      [​IMG]
       
    12. Ok, and just for fun, as one big fan of felines in all forms... here's a few weird fantasy-style anthro heads. These pics have been around since about 2001, much like the ones above ...so very much pre-avatar if you were wondering about the influences.
      =^-^=
      [​IMG][​IMG]
       
    13. I have enough problems finding MSD-sized muscle-powered 2x2 roller skates for my Rat City Roller Girls chick!

      I love looking at the designs that have appeared here so far, but I am looking forward to a design that is very, very weird and very, very beautiful (in human terms) at the same time!

    14. how about a slenderman bjd OwO
       
    15. My dream-doll will be a mermaid. But not with a tail in fabric or jointed, but with a golden (silicone) tail that really moves as a real mermaid do. She will have mermaid-ears and webbed hands. Her eyes will be a silvery blue and her hair will be very long, silvery blond and as soft as silk. She comes with a shell-top and jewels also made from shells.
       
    16. While I was writing my post, JenKat's came in. That's what I am talking about! Any ideas for the rest of the body, JenKat?

      Also, I think the little kirin's wet nurse from the The Twelve Kingdoms, who was a combination of woman, tiger, and snake would be a wonderful!
       
    17. I'll see what I can come up with but its off to work for me now unfortunately :...(

    21. Mine is a human horse centaur with wings. Her horse body is a magnificant glossy black with a white wings and tail and white feathered hooves. Her human part is a muscular female cat like creature with pale white flesh and ravenblack hair. She has small bare breasts. There is a spiny crest up her spine like that of a seahorse that can fold against her back when she is at peace. Her eyes are black without a pupil and long silver lashes. Her human arms have a crest that runs the length of them and she has three fingers on each hand.

    38. My husband isn't big into dolls, but he was talking about doing some kind of damaged android or undead. one with removable covers on different parts of the body to reveal the insides. Maybe with changes heads to show half electronics or half skull.. or maybe even all.
       
    39. I think a retro-future doll would be awesome. Something like barbarella with a sexy space uniform and maybe a bubble helmet. She could have her own little jet pack and a pair of detachable rocket legs.
