Hi Folks

Sep 1, 2025

    1. Hi folks!

      I’m a Costume Designer, living and working in Scotland. I’ve been a BJD enthusiast for a good while now but I only own self made dolls and some blind box BJD from Penny’s Box (I couldn’t resist the centaurs!).


      I don’t really have a grail doll anymore since most of the companies I used to follow have retired but I would like to own a pair of ResinSoul Mei twins one day. She has quite a sweet face and a boy/girl twinset would be quite fun.


      My main goal currently is to create one of my ancient OCs from when I was a kid in doll form. This may or may not be a whopping 1/3 centaur.. I have no space for him but I can’t resist bringing him to life haha! I hope I’m not biting off more than I can chew but I’ve begun sculpting already.


      I’m looking forward to chatting with everyone x

    2. Hi welcome! Future twin dolls sound adorable. I love Resinsoul's dolls!

      Sculpting your own doll is a huge project. There is a page for projects it would be awesome to follow your progress. I don't think I would ever be good at doing something like that!
       
    3. Hi I'm in England and have a few Resinsoul bjds including a centaur they did which is msd size and also own the 1/3 Soom Epidos centaur.
      I hope the sculpting goes well for you making your own dolls.
       
    4. Thanks for the lovely welcome <3 I’m looking forward to starting to post in the projects section soon! I’m going to start after I get his face finished. Going to go slow and steady on him and eventually cast him.

    5. Hello fellow UK resident :daisy

      Jelly on the Soom Epidos! I’ve always thought he had some of the best horse anatomy out of most centaur dolls! There’s some funky doll horse anatomy out there haha! Hopefully mine doesn’t get too funky xD

    7. Hello! I'd love to see some of your sculpting stuff !
      I also have a few Penny's box centaurs too. They're very vibrant lol. I've been eyeing the centaur sculpt from Dollzone. The Antu fullset has a lot of the same charm and is super cute in my eyes. I think it's more of a Yosd type of scale and it's pretty small, so I don't know if it's good for an adult type of character, but it is cool to look at!

      I also go to the UK for university, so it's nice to know that there are people with the hobby no matter where you go :XD:
       
    8. Where in the uk are you going to Uni?
      I have 3 centaurs the Soom, Resinsoul and a delf one I do like cantaurs and fantasy dolls :)
       
    9. I'm going to Wales!
      I feel like I would like to shell a centaur sculpt to make a My little pony character one day. I think that would be a very fun project lol. Fantasy dolls in general are so cool. All BJDs are works of art to me but I am always blown away by fanatasy sculpts or sculpt that deviate from human anatomy.
       
    10. Pretty much all my family are in South Wales and that sounds like a cool project to do.

    12. Hi hi! I'd be interested to follow along with your sculpting process. As a costume designer, do you get a lot of creative free time as well?
