BBB blue tiny to a Na'vi - FINISHED 8/30

Jun 21, 2010

    1. Yep here I go again. I learned a lot from my Lan to Neytiri, that I've decided to give it a second go! This time with a blue skinned BBB tiny owned by the lovely ShizukaYuki whom has so graciously allowed me to mod her a Na'vi of her own!

      So we begin!

      Before shots:

      And one more for giggles.

      Sorry it's so dark, but the one with the flash was even more gross!

      Currently the plan is modding/moving the face/ears with apoxie, mod the hands and feet appropriately, and add a tail. Dyeing wont be necessary this time as she is already blue, but I may blush her slightly darker to get a less noticeable tiger stripe effect when I do add her stripes.

    2. I can't wait to see how she turns out! You're first mod to a Na'vi was so well done that I'm sure this one will be just as good, if not better since now you know what you are doing!

    10. Tiny Feetsies!

      [​IMG]

      Itty bitty hands!

      [​IMG]

      Both were strangely easier to remove digits from then I'd imagined.

      [​IMG]
      Rough blocking of the face, it'll be more fleshed out with sanding after the apoxie cures.

      [​IMG]

      And a first run tail, still not sure how I want to attach it, either permanently with apoxie or with a magnet. Very torn because her butt is so tiny!

    12. It's so cute! My vote for the tail would be with a magnet, that way you can decide if the tail helps with balancing or if it tips him/her over and then you can adjust it.

    13. Nice work, it looks like it will end being spectacular. The tail is going to be difficult, isn't it? Won't it make the little one topple over?

    19. And here I go again!

      I touched up the ears while they were still attached with my handy-dandy dremel. Then with a small hacksaw I took off the ears.
      [​IMG]

      [​IMG]
      Ta-DA!

      [​IMG]
      Sanded the tail smooth and made one area flatter to be flush with the body. Now to wait on the mail order magnets. I thought I could get away with a pair I have from another doll, but sadly they are to high, the right size just too tall. I'd have to drill to far into the doll and the tail.

      [​IMG]

      [​IMG]
      Still not quite finished sanding down the facial mods, but were almost there. I like that the removed ears give the doll more angular/chubby looking cheeks!

      [​IMG]
      And to attach the ears, but this is just a rough idea of where they'll be.

      Thanks!!

    20. What a lot of very intricate detailed work you have happening. Those ears look too tiny to be able to work with but you have made them look great. Progress is amazing. Congrats.

    31. That's my biggest problem, too. I'd love to make some cool mod--I want to do a bastet. But I'm too afraid I'll complete mess up the doll--and especially if you hack into such a tiny one. Very interested in the results!

    32. And another update!!!

      [​IMG] Tail magnets came in! Woo. They are soooooooo tiny! But I still had to dremel out a small indent for them to sit flush.

      [​IMG]
      This tail sits more flush then my Lan Na'vi's tail does.

      [​IMG] See!

      [​IMG]
      Ears have ben re-attached, and made to stick out a bit more. I figured since this one is so small that its ears would always be more forward as if they were listening to their mother.

      [​IMG]

      [​IMG]

      ON to the great paint mixing!

      [​IMG]

      I decided not to break out the airbrush as the surface area is so small, the ears, bridge of the nose and tail that need to be painted.

      [​IMG]

      [​IMG]
      So shiny, wet paint.

      [​IMG]

      And for kicks, one quick coat of blue blushing. WOW what a difference!
      [​IMG]

      That's all for now!

    43. Almost there!

      [​IMG]
      One blushing wasn't dark enough, so I went with two.

      [​IMG]
      Blushing the face mods (ears and brow) proved more difficult. Sadly I couldn't get the mods to completely match the resin.

      As you can see, with the macro setting on my camera, you can make out the apoxie mods.
      [​IMG]
      But In person it's less noticeable.

      [​IMG]
      Stripes and lower eyelashes. I didn't do lower lashes on my last Na'vi but I really like them on this one.

      [​IMG]

      [​IMG]

      I had to redo the lower torso blushing and stripes, after the wind took over my drying rack and it fell into my plant.

      But all is well!
      [​IMG]

      And glowing dots!
      [​IMG]

      [​IMG]
      ShizukaYuki had requested the unique stripes creating an abstract heart over her tail.

      Wig and clothes to come next, along with putting her back together! Almost there.

    48. I will do some backlight photos, which mimics what you actually see in the dark. Sadly I cant capture with a camera (with out the aid of a blacklight) what you see in real life.

    56. Actually is pinkish as Na'vi actually have red blood and therefore pink lips and insides of ears. Unless you would prefer different just let me know. I'm waiting on eyes now.

    58. Amazingly cute. The apoxie difference did look a little obvious at first glance but when you finished with the blushing, stripes and dots it looks just fine, like a difference in tone that would go with that stripey coloration naturally. Great work!

      And the tail is to die for. The cute is almost painful! :)
