Materials head2 - resin color pics page 3 8/27/08

you are really a talented , the mods are a little scary to me but nicely done.
If i would do a mod to a head i would prolly try cyborg with machinery showing where you leave out the skin, but thats something totally different than what you are going for right now.
Goodluck ^^

 

Wow such unique details I don't see that sort of style very often but it's certainly has it's appeal :3 Awesome job XD

 

... Oooh, I think they are SUPER awesome! I love the stitched up one!

 

These are really nice, I love the lips in each. I like the idea of the piercing one. I think they'll all turn out great

 

oooh, I kinda think you should go for the Corset peircing, if only for the fact that the other variations have been done many times before in doll mods and such, and I've yet to see a corset-peircing on a doll that looked as nice as yours!

 

I'd have to agree with mandiiv ~ play with the corset piercing. It is possible to mold that to make it castable, there's just a trick to it...

 

Why not simply make the 'ribbon' in clay? I think you suggested that earlier? It would look superior to random pieces of ribbon on the doll. I personally like the scar-faced doll, but I must admit there is an appeal to the corset doll. The closed eye/mouth one scares me :S

 

With the corset piercings, you can cast the piece, then drill the tiny holes all the way through the head so that half of the ribbon is inside the head cavity when strung. What you might consider is molding the backside of the ribbon, so that there's something visibly there, so you have what looks to be a full ribbon, but with the exterior being all nice and soft and real.

 

These heads are PURE awesome. VERY cool, I know a lot of people who'd love goth-cyber-pierced dolls like this!

Using real ribbon would be neat! X33

But really it would be easiest to just sculpt it all as the cast and make the ribbon look as real as possible.

Maybe a third option? (LOL I drew a quickie diagram...)




I got this crazy idea to leave raised skin parts (what the skin would look like streched up a but with a D-ring inside it) to drill little holes where you can insert "D-rings" in (pieces of wire bent like a D-ring) that you superglue in place (or if the wire was stiff enough and you made sure to imbed it far enough when bending it you wouldn't even have to do that, then they could ride freely!), then thread with ribbon! Might be better applied to a doll's back tho, like I've seen on people, cause it'd be hard to do this idea TOO small, but there do make dremel drill bits that small, I've used them! X33

 

I know you said the basic head didn't interest you the way it is, but ohhh, it just blows me away. So good....

 

i love it all - particularly lithe's idea >_< do it lol.

 

Very wonderful ideas, I'd love to see the finished product!

 

wow! You are very talented!!

 

I liked the head with the stitches in it here: http://shadows.4oni.com/doa/head2_dk1c.jpg
I really like the darker themes you exploited though. I'm used to seeing darker face-ups, but those sculpts were really unique! In a good way! ^_^ I hope that you will keep playing with that theme though! Enough tries and you will find something you love.

 

You know, she's beautiful without the piercings - Will you be offering her 'normal' too?

 

Love the piercings! Really like what you've come up with so far. You are very gifted.

 

Wow, that's a really beautiful girl *w* I think the piercings and mods are cool, but I prefer her without them ^^

 

Its interesting to see your doll take on an asian look. The epicampus folds er the eyes take on a very asian look. I really like it.

 

best of luck patl! she's looking really nice. The only thing I could think of is more definition for the eyelids, but I really like the way it's coming along as is! I can't wait to see more.

 

Beautiful job! Her face has so much character!

 

There is something lyrical about your work. I am just in awe of your talent. Your sculpts look so...... human. No matter how out there you take them, they still have at their essential core this bit of honesty. I just find your work very gracious, and terrifyingly gentle. It is poetry in clay.

 

Pat, she's gorgeous ~ I want one!! I especially like her in the shaggy wig with the thin braids. Maybe she did turn out a little young, but the clay holds endless potential and you can always make another head later; personally I think she could be any age depending on the setting, wig and faceup.

Sorry to hear about your family's health problems.. low-key holidays sound good to me though ~ looking forward to seeing what Darkmoth has done with your Minimee heads

 

She looks lovely! You've done a really good job on her!
And she looks very sweet with the white/blue wig.

I'm looking forward to seeing more..

 

hahahaha! my friend has a devon rex cat that looks just like that!
OMG ur soooo awsome! (but then, everyone already said that!!!)

 

Oh wow, I'm really loving how the head is coming along... honestly, if you were to cast and sell copies of this head, it'd be the first artist doll I'd want to buy... gorgeous.

 

What ever happened to your idea to make heads for the orientdoll bodies? I remember you did a couple and threw it out there as a challenge for the rest of us to see what we could come up with. That was about when my life got turned upside down and I didn't come back to DoA for almost a year. So what ever happened to that? I have to admit that I have yet to pick up that gauntlet. Did anyone else?
Sorry about your family's health problems- I know how overwhelming that can be, and my heart goes out to you and them. Glad you kept being creative It is the best thing for what ails you

 

Oh! That cat looks fantastic. Will you be showing more of it? Or could I possibly nag you for some more pictures?

 

I agree that she looks gorgeous without the piercings but I like the piercings as well!!
Excellent job!!!

 

i love what you've done so far! good luck! ;D

 

I love the Cat!!! Would sooo make an awesome goth cheshire cat. Still love the idea of the piercings. Maybe could be done on a less innocent (since you have redone the head) sculpt. Hope all is well with your Family.

 

Patl, you never cease to amaze me. I think she's gorgeous and depending on the wig you put on her she can be a young teen or a young adult. Your cat somehow reminds me of the naughty gremlin... LOL!

I'll be stalking this thread for more pictures. I don't know how I missed it before.

 

OH, most intriguing with the lacing over the eyes... I like the contrast between the piercings and the rather classic look of the head, particularly.
Do run with it!

She's beautiful Pat!! Send her over whenever you're ready.. I should have new bodies etc by the end of the month.

 

Patl, she's got perfect nostrils... that's one part of the face I'm a stickler for. Can't wait to see the final unveiling.

 

Patl....I love her....especially her nostrils..I love how they flare...it gives her face so much character...and her lips are perfect....well done....

She's beautiful. I like her face shape very much - it's a bit childish, whereas the expression of her eyes and other features are more mature => creates an interesting character

 

Man, she is gorgeous.

 

Oh WOW @ #54
She would look so awesome in tan/dark resin

 

That cat is amazing. And I love your ideas for the piercings. The initial images with the corners of the mouth and the eyes sewn up looked really neat. I'm so eager to see what you do next!

 

Oh man.... that head is so gorgeous. I've said it once and I'll say it again -- I'd love to own one if you sold them, even a flawed junk cast (preferrably NS since I don't like white-skin dolls... but I'd even love a white one, it's that lovely.)

She's just awesome, and I love the lacing idea -- i just wish it didn't go over her eyes. That kinda bugs me and makes me blinky XD

 

This is a really cool, interesting look. Very versatile head you've sculpted, patl -- after looking at the photos of her in various wigs on page 2, I think she'd even make a charming boy.
