completely finished my OOAK balljointed doll ! She's got a complete new look! 10/6

you're off to a good start, good luck with finishing

 

What's the book you reference? Thanks!

 

Awww! What an adorable face!​

 

Holy awesome head. The rest of the body looks pretty good too. The arms in the planning part looks a bit short but maybe that's just me.

 

That head looks so sweet! Keep it up!

 

Beautiful face!

 

This is coming along very nicely!!!

 

I've got that "Yoshida" book, too! It really makes you want to get sculpting, doesn't it You seem to be doing everything according to the book so far...Good Luck (pile 'o hamsters for luck)

 

Is the Yoshida book "Atral Doll"? If so, Amazon has one for $73. I love books. Wish I could afford one.

I REALLY like the shin on the right leg, looks amazing. Actually the entire leg looks amazing. *__*

Sorry to be so critical but the upper torso doesn't look very symmetrical, it feels as the right breast is a little fuller on top (above the nipple) than the other one. Then here's the obviously lopsided other leg... =D

I can't tell you how much I love that right leg. I wanna see what you can do with the arms--- omg..............

 

Wow! She looks fantastic. I love her face. It is so expressive even with no face up.

 

Claudine I think you are doing great, I am still working on my first one and I love the Yoshida book its is great thanks to those that translated it, I am trying to paint mine with the flesh colored modeling paste now and sand them without sanding it all off, they are addictive for sure and yours looks great

Whoa! she looks GREAT!! keep up the good work luv :0

 

You're doing a great job with her! But the thigh joint in the right side looks a bit too large...She has such a sweet expression.

 

So um, the super picky woman is back... >.>

Did you change the length of the arms? They still look short even without the rest of the body being there, the hands are proportionally undersized as well. Some people do like smaller hands but I don't think you were quite going for that. I think the narrowest part of the arms should be at least where the top torso ends if not slightly past. The head looks great on the other hand, good cheekbones and brow bones. I also like the gentle arches of the fingers.

 

Since you like, just gave me permission to go overboard (or what I feel like overboard)...

Her collarbones and that neck thing are not symmetrical, the right side is deeper set than the left. The mouth, upper lip especially is not evenly matched. There's a more defined dip on the right above the upper lip, under the nose, where the cheek squish (or whatever it is on a person) usually ends.

lol

Put up some pictures with different lighting and a different coloured background please! Did you sexy up the left leg yet?! =D

 

Your work looks wonderful so far, I love her leg(s) ^^ !!!
I saw your tutorial pic of how to sculpt lips in another thread and you mentioned you had a similar tutorial pic for ears? I'd love to see that one!!

 

Oh, that's so cool, thank you I've always had trouble with the ears ^^;

 

she is looking really nice so far, cant wait to see her finished

 

I'm actually kinda sad to see you cut up that leg... -_-;

 

she is looking great

What intense looking eyes!

 

Wow! Great job!

 

The shading is beautiful! I will have to have someone else do my face-ups. I have someone lined up already. I hope mine will look as nice as yours!

 

Wonderful, I love what You are doing! Where is the translation for the book?

 

Are you planning to cast in resin? If so, will you be doing it yourself or will someone else be doing it?

 

Congratulations! She looks great!

 

Her torso reminds me of the older porcelain French fashion dolls. Different from most of the BJDs seen here on DoA, but still very nice! Well done!

 

She looks pretty good!

Are you going to leave her as is since you can't cast her in resin?

 

She looks like a wonderful success! Her faceup is so great, especially the eyes. I'm soooo glad you shared your process!

 

I agree that she looks like an old french type doll...very nice job with the sculpting and painting!

 

I think she looks AMAZING!!!! Well done all your hard work was definatley worth it!

 

Very cool, very cool! I like her authenticity. No doll like that for sure.

 

love it! she look so fragile, yet so strong at the same time

 

this is so beautiful!!! almost hauntingly so. it puts me in mind of many things, such as the brothers quay film, "the street of crocodiles" & antique toy catalogs. yet it is current & moden, mysterious & anacronistic & above all classic all at once.

i LOVE IT! the syle is perfect, i really really loe the 3 piece torso! the design & sculpting of the body are so wonderful, so graceful & so unique. it is WONDERFUL!!! i hope you keep up yr work.

a sublime effort with sublime results.

 

Wow, i simply adore the result! You really are talented. Congrats to you! ^^

 

Simply beautiful!! I'm so impressed with your talent!!

Lori

 

shes amazing. I hope you aren't casting it, its so unique, which makes it even more special.

 

oh wow. she's beautiful!! I can't sculpt to save my life, but I would like to try my hand at faces (one would assume I'd improve with practice) I love her face

 

What a unique beauty! I adore the look of this doll. At first, I didn't think I would like how the torso would look with the body in tact, but now, I can see that I was very wrong! I actually like this doll more than a lot of the dolls made by companies! I'm very happy for you.
