I always feel really pitiful when I do anthros and tinies. Theres a part of me saying; "what are you doing with your life?! Make something amazing." but the joy I get out of making something so easy and comical balances out all that. Currently got a thing for small fat shameful animals with flat faces (lops, tarsians, Persian cats) might do a series of SHAAAME. 2 days work.
Geez I wonder what it's like to live with you!!!! ...Is there anywhere to sit down??? :p Or is that why she's a flat face? ..Cos she got sat on! Just kidding! I don't think you should be ashamed! I'm ashamed that something like this is possible within two days. She's adorable
Did you make molds for the ball joints or did you just shape them by hand? P.S she's "shamefully" adorable, love the tummy
I am in LOVE. I am personally not a fan of flat faced animals (I think its because of having to baby sit one with breathing problems) but this one IS JUST TOO ADORABLE! The cute lil nose!! THE TUMMY! The toes!! I agree with Enaibi, Sign me up for being ashamed!!
This is the cutest anthro I've ever seen! It's body is so precious and such a cute smile >< NO SHAME.
Very cute already, I love that chubby little body! I don't see any shame in making something that's this cute xD
I don't see any shame at all in that! SO CUTE! Seriously just adorable, and I love that the eyes aren't massively oversized - sometimes when cute dolls start looking too much like Precious Moments figurines it creeps me out a bit.
Thanks for the comments! Geez, I didn't know so many people were about the Joint anymore! Haha, the place is a dolly graveyard. I need to make a post on General about how seriously dolly making can swamp your life. XD Maybe if you finish Omnia the same time as I'm done with Flat-Face, could we meet up to make molds n' such! Thanks! Making moulds for balljoints is for smartypants. I'm not too fussy about it being perfectly round. As far as I'm concerned you can make a balljoint by just rolling clay and testing it as you go along as part of your general refining. Haha, thanks. I'm glad you like him as you're a lover of anthro dolls too! I'm seriously thinking of casting him. I've had so much fun drawing him that I'd love there to be more. BAHAHA! Breathing problems! The more messed up and deformed flat faces are, the better (jk D. My boyfriend wants a cat when we're older and I tell him that only a really ugly cat will suffice. I won't buy the super deformed ones but as close as I can get without it getting cruel. Is it just me or does everyone here want a flat face doll? MASSIVE nostalgia! I liked Suppy way more than Kiro. I want to draw butterfly-panthers all day now. :XD I want this cat to be FAT. Totally. Kankles n' all. The total oposite to those push-over-pipos. :XD BWAHA! I Google'd Precious Moments and nearly threw up. They're so creepy! I've seen them before on sow-on patches or greetings cards and the like. The head proportions are prettymuch the same as those and just have to be that way if you're doing cute small things. I've only just gone and chopped it up though >.> He's going to be jointed at the hip so that his ribs are in tact and you get more belly fat exposure. It's on the list Here's some concept stuff while Flat-Face is in drying- mode. I became quite obsessed one night. Kept looking at pictures online of the nastiest kitties and the smallest bug-eye'd baby flat faces. Just out of no where. I guess that's how spinsters start. But I'll channel it!
Man, I suuuuuuper impressed how much you got done in just 2 days! Will definitely be keeping an eye on this, I can't wait to see how it turns out! )
Here we go, the best I can do at night time on short notice. Not much to report; legs on, belly on waist, arms cut up. When the arms are on I'll give my last update before the slow and tedious grind to perfection. His legs are so fat that he's got troubles sitting but it can be fixed with patience :XD Also, you have not seen his fat poofy tail yet
Hah, thank you! So much kitty madness on one night. I don't usually draw like that bit I was trying something new. When I get a portfolio online I'll show you what I really do.
omg I just love the cute chubby thighs and arms and tummy and EVERYTHING. You should cast this, because I know many people would love to own one! Or more hehe
Omg I think my brain exploded from the cuteness!!! OH THAT TUMMY!!! *squees* I agree, casting MUST be in order!
This cat is very adorable! IIt is wonderful how you make this unusual (for bjd) bodyshape work! And there I was, writing on some forum discussion that some bodyshapes don't work in bjds... just to see you prove me wrong
will he/she have a doll counterpart like the majokko genre of anime???? I imagine it walking and eating a can of tuna
Link me to the discussion, I'm interested. Can you show me an example of "Majokko"? I've googled it and not been sucessful. Thanks for comments everyone :XD More work soon
No problem, here is the link to the discussion (chubby bodyshape in bjds): http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?39297-A-fat-dollfie. (You might already know this thread, since it is on DoA ).
She is amazingly cute! I love everything about her! I haven't popped in in a long while and it was wonderful to stop in and see this little treat!
Haha, it'll be Lord Tubbington, sidekick to my vulgar well-endowed SD. I never planned for them to be even vaguely in the same universe but now I'm inspired to make them a pair. :XD Thanks for the idea! As soon as I saw "A Fat Dollfie" I laughed. I never knew this was a thing. I'll do my best to give the world a sturdy fattie doll. I'm also thing of making different faces now. A Cheshire would be great ( I think I could make fab new take on it), and so would a cyborg cat and perhaps different species. If anyone remembers Tsarmina from the Redwall books, she'd be great fun to make; a spiteful slinky tabby cat with long grabby claws.
REEAAAALLY ROUGHED OUT (But you may look at him, if you must.) This will never be allowed on DoA, will it? It's definitely more of a cheshire than that damn *spit* PIPOS doll. >.>
Wah! Scary kitty!!! If you cast him in resin, and put him on a resin body, I'm pretty sure they can't tell you no.
Love this grinning monster kitty! About DoA, not sure... They do allow anthro dolls if they have human characteristic (like being bipedal); such a Cheshire has even more human characteristics than a usual anthro cat. So the only reason I would see why it could be forbidden there could be the atypical aesthetic (meaning "not typical for asian ball-jointed dolls"). But one never knows in advance ^^
HOLY S*** He's terrifying D: It's perfect. Awesome work so far! idk.. this particular face I'd be uncertain about whether or not it'd be considered on topic because of the strong expression. He still has a very asian aesthetic imo, but DOA has turned down other dolls I feel to have the same quality/style. Wait.. you don't like the pipo's cheshire? I don't care for the first one, but I totally fell in love with the toothy open eye version and have been kicking myself for not buying a fullset ever since ;; *sigh*
He/She still looks good despite that face transformation XD....what happened to the curious kitty one?
If that styrofoam ball was painted like the Earth, I think that would be just about the most awesome picture ever.
Hah it would! This face is amazing though, I love that expression...it's more "expressive" than that pipo cheshire I think.
Love this face! Im so tired of seeing expressionless bjds!! But it does kinda remind me of an old chinese kung fu villain or sumthing hahaha, maybe thats why i love it so much?? And i wanted to ask you, what did you sculpt the paws out of??
she is sweet! I am working on a small chubby antro to...but always fail in getting the cute factor in it....yours is really cute.
:XD Thanks for the comments!! Not the end of the world to not get on DoA. As long as the whole doll can be on there, just not that head version. Also I think it's a little backwards that they would shun a doll for trying expand on the set abjd aesthetics. We'll see. Nothing against Pipos really, haha. I think they're great, just that the Cheshire in my head was always a stranger you're not really sure whether to completely trust or not. Nuuu! Friendly cat is still about. He's just taking a break, not dead! The headback fits both faces. Might even try out a few more! Ibrevner: The hands are fimo puppen. I'm making a set of harpies soon - Non-bjd, thankfully :XD Arms are getting done slowly. I was a div and decided to just round off the edges off the top of the forearm and put a slot in it. Goes to show that doing things properly first time around SAVES TIME. >.>
Any updates on this ball of cuddly cuteness? I may be weird, but I think the scary cheshire face is adorable, too. All it needs is a really big pink bow... And maybe a butcher knife to hold behind it's back. I looked through the thread, but I didn't see his size mentioned anywhere. How big is little Mr. Fluffy Awesome?
HAHAHA! A butchers knife! Oh yes, we must. In fact I've been preparing him for casting. He'll be done tonight. I turned 20 on Monday and felt a sudden rush of mustworkharder syndrome and I spent all yesterday and the day before on a pack of noodles, 6tsp of coffee a day, working like a crazy fool. A new face has also been made. :3 I'm sure if you like Cheshire and original flat face, you'll love his grumpy face. I'll try to make him a butchers knife and a knife wielding paw. This will open up oportunities for nastier weapons or maybe just a fish lollipop. I'll give details of his height and other specifications later tonight.
