i got a soom chrom head and while i loved the face the image i had for the character had a very particular body type which as it turned out did not exist in the 65 cm scale :dead they wore all too muscular or oddly proportioned (i don't want a brick with stick legs thanks!) i decided to put my years of doll attempts to use and make my own body so this is what i have so far! i ran out of paperclay sadly so he has no arms until further notice lol i took some pictures but didn't notice he was doing the sassy hip thing in the first one so there is no photo of him being upright properly hahaha OTL (this one was intentional) my camera likes to do the fish eye so it is difficult to get the bodes actual proportions on camera due to his size and how close i am to it @u@;;; through perhaps it's not just the camera *sigh* the odd line on his belly is where i cut him open (eep that sounds scary out of context) and took out the core/stuffing so i could string him and make sure the legs muscles would end up in the right places, his knees keep on turning outward i need to figure out how to fix this >< here is how the head intended for this body sits on him; it is a modded chrom head, besides changing the lips a little i shaved off a few mm of the back of his neck so the neck hole would be shallower and he would be able to tip his head backwards better (this could have probably been demonstrated better form the side instead of odd fish eye effect HINDSIGHT) the neck doesn't seem to be quite centred but not sure if it's the shoulders or it's actual placement legs i hope to have him some nice definition which does not exist at the moment ^^;; upper body i may end up expanding his chest more but he needs arms to say for sure and the booty >u> his lower back actually chipped off and i had to refill it twice hopefully 3'rd time is the charm bonus: so that's it so far! it's pretty rough for now but critique is more then welcome! i'd rather have proportion issues and odd details caught before i get too far with it
(Cough why would you say it's boring its definitely not) I'm really looking forward to see more of it! It must be the camera distortion or the lack of more ladoll for the moment, but his shoulders seem too narrow for the head in some pictures You could totally try to pull a neck joint. Just a suggestion hmmm What kind of joints are you thinking for his elbows/knees?
Sleep of Reason haha thanks u.u;;; they are a bit narrow but i was going to give him pretty strong arms so i wanted to see how big the ball would end up before deciding on their final width, his legs are currently more slender then i hope to make them at the end as well i was thinking of double joint but wish sort is still up in the air xD elbows will most likely be the much hated beans lol
I don't have any problems with the beans? haha My Nobility doll has that kind of joint you need to tug out for the arm to fold. That could work, or at least its an idea. I see what you mean! If the ball does seem to thick for the rest, you can add one of those complementary half circles. (Sorry the exact name slips my mind)
Sleep of Reason well not everyone xD but i do hear a lot of complaints about the swivelling around (that happens if your doll is a) strung too lose b) poorly designed or c) you have been doings lot of complex posses and that required them to be twisted around from "resting" position ) you mean like the delf shoulders? that could work through EID have HUGE shoulder joints and they look great so it may be unnecessary xD
