Modification modding eyes smaller

Here's an older thread that might help be of some help to you. I shared a few of my older mods for making eyes smaller on there as well, in the post here.

I use Aves Apoxie Sculpt, in the super white version, which is an actual white epoxy clay, unlike their regular white version, which is actually grey.


Here are some mods I did on my 28cm MYou mature tiny male, he has a tiny head, but not as tiny as a Barbie fashion doll. The phots on the left are all the original default sculpted eyes, the photos to the right have the eyes modded. The photos with blank faces are before I was done with the sanding. I like to color the clay before mixing the two parts, with acrylic paints, to match the resin as close as possible.

The photo in the middle was a mod I did with Vallejo's putty, which is not meant for mods, but as filler for scaled models. You can wipe it right off with alcohol, which is why I decided to then do the permanent mods with Aves Apoxie, because I want my mods to be as "permanent" as possible. At the very least, I don't want them to dissolve in alcohol, every time I wipe his face up.


Here are a few older mods, as well. On a 67cm doll. All done with Aves Apoxie, and colored the same exact way as I described above:

I've done a lot of others as well, but I don't want to bombard this thread with my crappy photos. Hope that helps, and good luck! (:

 

i have reshaped the eyes of so, so many of my dolls. i am actually in the process of modding the eyes on my Bobobie Charisma right now, specifically to be smaller and more realistically proportioned. i've also done the same thing to my Angel of Dream Yuki. both of those are more drastic mods since they both had eyes that started out taking a size 18mm eye and in both cases i've brought them down to an eyeshape that i can put a 16mm small iris eye in.

i've also modded two dolls that originally had half-closed eyes that were very long and would have been huge, unrealistic eyes if open. in both of those cases i decided to both use Milliput to bring the outer corners in and make the eyes a more realistic size, AND carve the eyelids out so the eyes were open. (Dikadoll Aqua and Granado Nightmare Boyd.)

i also have dolls i've made very minor eye adjustments to-- my Islanddoll Noah had just the tiniest bit added to her upper lids with Milliput to make her eyes very subtly smaller. they were ALMOST perfect but just too-wide enough to give her a very staring look, so that was another example of me modding a doll's eye shape smaller for a more realistic look. Dikadoll Floyer got his upper lids opened just a tiny hair, also a very subtle adjustment. a lot of these dolls do have profiles on here if you want to see my results.

honestly i am so super picky about exact eye size and shape and if there's one thing i am prone to fiddling with on a doll's face it is that!
