Might as well share my work in progress here! I got Resinsoul to create me a custom Wei with a custom green resin, elf ears and tusks, which they did beautifully on! However, I knew I wanted to adjust the face even more to suit my needs for the character I'm shelling. I also got my Doll Zone body in that'll be dyed soon to match, so here's how she was before the modding started! With all the pieces essentially in place, I revisited the plans I made for her mods (and eventual face-up): I knew it was gonna involve removing her existing nose, which made me pretty nervous, but I was determined to give it a shot! (cont'd in thread)
So, here's the unaltered head: And after sanding off the nose, my first pass with epoxy sculpt: After letting it harden, I started sanding and smoothing, focused on reducing the nose a fair bit: With the slightly longer jaw, I tested to see if it changed the appearance of the very long neck: Kind better! I still might reduce the neck, we'll see. Anyway, here's where I more or less am now: What do you guys think? I know the nose is still larger than my mock-up but I'm sort of warming to its size considering it's more in line with my actual character design. At the moment I keep struggling with making each side as symmetrical as possible!! Gah!!
I think the larger nose looks great! I'm always excited to see an interesting nose on a doll. Looking forward to see the progress
I love her nose at this proportion. The way it's very wide but still short overall gives it a nice style. It's definitely not dainty anymore and very orcish but also still cute. I think the way big wide eyes and the wide nose play together is perfect. Also, that's a really cool color they made for you! Looks like such a fun project
Petition for that nose to stay, it's ADORABLE! at that size And totally subscribing for updates, she's already shaping up to be the cutest Orc!
I like the big nose, but from the illustration I thought you were going to bring the bridge in a bit more! Anyways, I think she's so cute!! I'm almost tempted to bug resinsoul so I can get my own little green cutie!
UPDATE: BODY DYED AND FACE UP COMPLETED I commissioned the wonderful Trilliumbox to dye match the Doll Zone body, and commissioned Shrike Aesthetics to do her face up, and here she is put together (with a temporary wig!) Next to blush the body to marry the body and head better, and wait on her custom wig. Thanks for reading!!!
