66cm+ Dolls Dapper Doll Workshop (Various sculpts/experiments/Full Body Printed 11/24)

Hello all! I am a video game artist by day, so zbrush is my main medium, and a few years ago I got a 3d printer and started trying to print my own bjd sculpt. Then I had a baby, and when I was preggo, I didn't want to be near all the toxic materials. Well now she's a bit older and I am starting the quest again to 3D print some sculpts.

Just to start things off, here's where it landed last time:






Main points I want to improve on this round (as well as playing around with printing a few heads) Is the knee and hip joints. They never worked quite right, but since zbrush added the live boolean function I think I can really clean these up since the last attempt!

Some renders!

Headcap Mechanism:


Head:


Hand Detail:

 

Also working on this new head sculpt last night! It has some potential I think...but still need to do a lot of refining before she goes to print:







(bah images might be buggin out)

 

YOU ARE TOO NICE! Thank you so much! Yes the lil neck thing was an experiment to hold up the string, it's pretty handy for taking the head off actually. I might switch to a faceplate system...still not sure XD

You are all giving me super motivation to get back into this project, thank you so much for the kind words
I did some more work this weekend, trying to get her lines cleaner, adding more details and eventually making her joints really work smoothly. Here's a render!

 

Thank you so so much DeadlyNyappyRomance! Still very much in progress, but again it's nice to hear the efforts are worth it for the esthetics!

I took a lil break from working on this doll, to do a bit of a fan project...A spock head...for me...cause I wanted a spock haha.
I made him to fit my 5th motif body!

 

That new head...is getting a new body. I've been posting mostly on my instagram, but basically I've decided that since the proportions are never gonna be perfect with a hybrid...I need to make a whole doll haha! Talk about jumping off the deep end!

 

First prints are ready! Got the torso/arms/elbows and hands.

 

Thank you so much Katrynar! Slowly but surely it's coming together!
Just got the torso printed, and now working on the lower legs and feet, and then it's all adjusting and sanding from there haha

 

Main portion of the printing is done! Now time for real world tweaks and adjustments!!!

 

He does have one, I just didn't want to get instagram shadow banned XD

Thank you!!! It's been a real journey raising a whole human these past two years, and it's fun to get back into this hobby after so long as well.
