A while ago, I sketched this little lady and kinda fell in love: I've been thinking about making a BJD so, although it's probably way harder than just a regular human, I've been doodling and trying to get the idea onto 'paper' for all of today. I'm still going to tweak the legs a lot more because I imagine she would be hard to pose, with the chitin probably locking the parts together.
Hopefully, she'll at least be able to stand. So I'm thinking that the lower legs would have less range, and a lot of the leg positioning would come from the hips.
Really interesting project! The concept sketch looks awesome ^^ The silhouette is promising, I really like the proportions and the overall shape!
