Ca 58 cm girl - Frozen's Elsa?

Feb 4, 2014

    1. Hi everyone!

      I recently started working on a little project, on the side of Ask. After watching Disney's "Frozen" for the first time, I was really inspired by their character Elsa, she's really pretty and I love, love, LOVE Idina Menzel (who's the voice actor)!
      Naturally, I started looking around for dolls of Elsa, and found only one I really liked; the Limited Edition Elsa from the Disney Store. Sadly, she was already sold out, and second hand she cost a small fortune (a fortune I'd rather put towards buying an Iplehouse Eric, mwhahahaha....), so I figured why not try to sculpt her myself? And so I started working on this girl.

      So far I think I've done okay, but I think she might end up being so much more than simply "Elsa from Frozen", I think she'll turn into my own version of Elsa, instead of copying her straight off as I thought of doing originally, and I'm hoping to use the body for future dolls, as well, but perhaps with some minor changes. :)
       
    2. I really like what you've got done so far. I love dolls in this stage. ^^ And you seem to have a good way of tackling it. Are you using two different clays? I've always wondered how that works.
       
    3. Thank you, I'm glad you like it. :) I, too, love dolls in this stage! Normally, I sculpt dolls in pieces, but I thought I'd try sculpting this girl in one piece, as I think it's easier to get her proportions right then.
      Yes, I did use two clays; I've sculpted most of my dolls with a clay called DAS, and I'm pretty satisfied with it, but I've always wanted to try using LaDoll Premix, so I bought a package just for fun, then decided to use it for this project. But since I only got one single package, I used DAS for the core. ^^; Using these two together was no problem at all.
       
    4. Interesting the way you are sculpting her upright. Seems like a great way to judge proportions. Thank you for sharing!
       
    5. She looks really good so far, I'm looking forward to seeing how she turns out! Her shape is really nice. I agree w/ ghostdollie, sculpting the body upright is an interesting idea, it'd be helpful to make sure the posture is correct, which is something I'm always having to fix. I might try it this way at some point.
       
    6. ghostdollie: Yes, I think it's great, because I've had SO many problems with the way I've sculpted my other dolls, there was always something I had to go back and change, but with this girl, it won't be needed (as much, at least). :) And no problem, thanks for looking!

      crowtree: Thank you! Like I said to ghostdollie, I really like sculpting her upright. I did, however, mess up her core a bit, which you can see if you look at her shoulders and arms (the arms should've been a bit more straight out from the body), but otherwise it's great to sculpt this way, I really like it!
       
    7. I like the look of her so far
       
    8. Thanks glimmer! :)
