50–65cm Dolls Melàn/Choly (SD heads project: unconventional features hurray!)

Sep 24, 2014

    1. Yet another project I've had my hands slip to while focusing mainly on Zeev
      Melàn and Choly are the idea I had to make two complimentary heads, a sister head to a monster inspired by the sentiment. Choly will come later, possibly out of the base of his sister.
      She started looking like a teather mask @w@ mostly because I had no sense of planning anything

      Now to fix all the glaring assymetries Argh

      More eventually
       
    2. she has such unusual features for a female head can't wait to see her more finished and refined :)
       
    3. I love the proportions that her face has. I can't wait to see where you go with her. I love her nose the most, it's very refreshing in relation to many (but not all!) bjd's having teeny little barely-there noses.
       
    4. @Molly, YEs, we need diverse noses. Big bumpy noses or potato noses haha

      Still working on some major symmetry issues, but she's starting to look less bumpy
      I don't dare try to pinpoint what ethnicy she looks like (she reminds me of too many?)

    5. i love the nose! the mouth, just everything! she is wonderful!
       
    6. hlbmlp, you make me flustered u///u thank you

      After I took this pictures I filled in her brows a tad further, and it became easier to tackle assymetries
      Her cheeks are still uneven, and tried evening out her nostrils 36465389 times ah well
      I'll get there

    7. Remember: When looking up the doll's nose, all of the planes of the face should be spherical. The brow, the eyes, the cheeks, and the jaw/chin. Remembering that the jaw is round can help prevent unintentional duck-facing.
       
    8. That's a good tip, thanks Stosphia! I try to keep that in mind, but sometimes the obvious slips Dx

      I did some more smoothening. She is finally looking cleaner, and the inside of her head is practically clean. Now it's just tweaking the details!

      Probably keeping this eyeshape til the end. Her brows however are another story
       
    10. Wow gorgeous! I love her! Do you have pictures of finished heads you've sculpted? I would like to see how they look painted.
       
    11. @Cleave, truth be told, Zeev and Nach are my only finished heads so far, and they're both out for casting uAu; haha

      So far so good? I've got mixed feelings about the corners of her lips. Not sure how to shape them... Well I'll figure something
      More fixing is in order (left cheek is kinda bumpy and less volumous than the other)
       
    13. I do like the expression of her mouth as it is, it fits perfectly with her (and her brother's combined) name after all. I hope you can maintain that mood when you fix the corners to your liking!
       
    14. This lady didn't quite change that much. She just got her lips filled out and some eye/nose fixed

    16. Like my other projects, she had a lot of going around in circles

      [​IMG] [​IMG]
      But now I dare say I am found

    17. Great job!
       
    18. I saw your new update for this head on Flickr! But since my computer is older than my grandma -and thus my browser too- the Flickr site hates me and I couldn't comment. So I'm just going to do it here :'D

      She's looking nice and smooth! And I seriously love love love how the eyelids came out. She's looking ready for casting, are you going to send her out?
