Ciao from italy!

Jan 21, 2023

    1. Hi! i'm Oscar from italy,
      i always liked bjds,but due to not having the money i never got one bun now i got a job so i can start ny collection!... i have sliiiight a kars obsession, yes the guy from jojo, and since it started i always dreamt of making my kars bjd so that will eventaully happen...but since shelling my favourite character has proven to be difficult and expensive, i decided to start with a smaller and seemingly more beginner friently doll, and i cant wait to get him!!!!

      But don't worry, kars is the next one on my doll list - i can't resist! Even tough, even after shelling him, i plan to continue my bjd plans in other directions.

      I am particularly fascinated by very small dolls, idk why, probably because they look like candy and they are so small i could eat them in one bite!

    2. Hi! welcome to the hobby!! I love the fact that you have a very dear Jojo character that you want to have immortalized in a BJD; Honestly, I would feel intimidated, Kars is the perfect being, and as the most perfect being you start thinking about which body and facial characteristics would suit him best :XD: it's very funny because even when I tried to draw him once in my style I draw him with the stone mask lol.
      Do you have any candidates in mind for him? I really like the body of the pillar men so it's sure to be something you'll take into account, maybe you'll end up making a hybrid but I'm sure you're going to have a lot of fun looking for a beautiful head sculpt for him! :D
       
    3. Heya Taro, glad you made it here. (I'm Vega from BJD Discord btw. :3nodding:) Congrats on getting job, and on buying DV Achelous! Really happy we can join you in the BJD journey... there are a lot of resources here on DoA that will help you shell Kars - you can ask and search on Photo References and Visual Concepts sub-forums. See you around!
       
    4. I will not hide that deciding face and body is a bit of a jurney. Kars' official art is very inconsistent with facial characteristic so i can go with what i like the most pretty much, but the body is always elegant and muscolr and hourglass...since finding a body with those proportion is near impossible im happy with capturing the vibe of strenght and elegance tough :-)
      Since i found out mature tinies exist ill probably try to shell him with granado lucent on the evol 32 body - i like that body a lot and lucent face has a v shape and sharp elongated nose reminiscent of the manga-style face.
      For the tall version i think i will try and go with eudes' head from doll chateu and a RGM5 ringdoll body. I can't explain why but when i saw eudes without faceup i was just like YES!!! HIM!!!!! but dc bodies are too twinky, after looking at all the 70cm/uncle option i think the RGM5 body is best because it has sculpted knees and elbows (important when you are not dressing your boy up a lot). It has good proportions (a nice way to say very big pectoral muscles) and is shredded af, also has muscle details on the legs. unfortunatley, Eudes has a really tiny neckhole so i will have to perform doll surgery if i go with this option, that's why i decided to start off with something else hahah!!!!

      I draw kars a lot, so i studied his character for a bit and i feel confident that i have enough dedication for the character to manage to shell him, It's a bit wierd but i'm sortof "grateful" to him because somehow due to Kars i always start new things that bring me in many different directions, so i am even more motivated to make him as perfect as possible :-)
