    1. Donn, I've it once.. i'll say it again, your work is WONDERFUL! =D Yes I know I am fangirling ^^;;; But it is true..everyone can see the time and work you put in your mold. I can't wait to see the first casting of the fifth head :) I'm sure he's going to look great.

    13. Forgive such a daft question, but, could the catalyst have something to do with the blueshift? So far while researching I've only come across tin and platinum. Both are cool, even blue, in color.

      So now I'm wondering, if it is the catalyst, then could a resin be made using a different metal as a catalyst?(catalyst might be wrong word, kinda sleepy, went right through staying up late, and now am up early).

      I'm sorry for rambling, just thinking about a zillion things and experimenting with Sculpey Bend and Flex + Super Sculpey(nice and strong when mixed together, and what I can work with now). Working on rooting hair into pate, it's very nice and styleable, but wondering if it would be sellable(counting chickens). Hey, could that be done on a bishonenhouse doll? Of course would require charging extra, but is there a way to encase just the pate in a silicone skin with hair rooted?

      Okay, haven't read all the posts(there's so many!), maybe someone's done it before. I know some baby doll artists encase entire babies in silicone skin. Just thinking it would allow for some really natural looking parts and hairlines.

      Okay, rambled enough, sorry again, not meaning to threadjack, hope I didn't go too far off-topic.

    14. Hey Everyone,

      Sorry for my prolonged absence but ive been completely engrossed finishing custom orders and making new stuff. I displayed at a local anime con a week ago as well and right now ive already begun to get ready for Anime North at the end of May so the crazy summer of displaying at cons begins! :)

      Hi Emerald_Night, i still dont have the final mold pulled off the shorter leg sculpts but soon as i do you will be first to know.

      Cool, Id love to make him for you :-)

      Im sooo glad he arrived safe and sound in Germany! thank you for posting the incredible pics!

      Thank you!

      thanks for the bump!!! acexkeikai,.... im doing ace resin tests as i type, ill have something to show hopefully by the end of the week :-)


      Thanks :-)

      Hi Nolita

      I have no idea why resin likes to make warm colors come out all cold looking, Its something that can be worked around with careful use of pigments though.

      As far as encasing resin parts in a silicone skin, its something ive never tried, it may be possible though.


      BTW... Thanks for posting the pic links Brian!! :-)


      Head 5 is finally completed!!! I decided to post my finished pics of him in the Gallery since i havent posted anything there in ages

      http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58234

      I will have pics of the finished dark skintone doll posted hopefully soon, hes done i just need to get really good pics of him .

      take care all!

    16. Wow! I have to say that I am amazed that you have spent all this time and effort into this, but what a payoff? You have created something that is so amazing LOADS of other people want it. That must be a big ego-boost!

      If you were the first out there to create cark skinned dolls, you'd sureley become a name overnight. That would be an awesome thing to do, I'd love a female Grace Jones type doll :D

      So well done :D

      It's my best friend's birthday soon, and I'm planning on making her a wig and a little wigstand for her soon to be Bishonen House BJD. n_n;

      Thanks in advance folks!

    25. Hi Elysion gear

      Ok here he is,..not great pics (excuse my messy bedroom in the background), but once he goes for sale on my site (sometimes within the next couple of weeks) I'll have better pics.

      [​IMG]

      [​IMG]

      He is limited to 15 casts and thats it, the mold will be destroyed. Making him a rare doll indeed. He will be available in any skintone standard and custom. I will actually have a dark skintone elf on display at Otakon.

      Since the head is a limited he will be $100, as opposed to the normal $75 i charge for a standard head mold.

      at the moment only 12 are left :)

      Just a thought `.`

    34. Hi Donn, I admire you dolls and thank you for the core mold tutorial you did. I find it very insightful. Just one question about the tutorial: Do you manually drill the holes in the shoulders and the neck after it has been casted? Because I was looking at the core for the hollow in the torso and it doesn't connect with the shoulders and neck. which makes sense because otherwise it would have been impossible to take out the cores. Anyway, keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing your next updates.

    38. First off thanks everyone for the kind words and compliments, Im sorry its taken me so long to respond but the past 2 months have been kinda crazy, I moved myself and my entire studio 200 miles south of Pittsburgh to the country in WV. I plan on expanding my workshop this spring and the cost of land in the city is too expensive to make that feasable. Also since the article in FDQ ive been verry busy, im now booked up on orders untill mid Jan (i now have a waiting list!!)

      Anyway, the move went well and im finally getting things back to "normal" :)

      thats headsculpt 3, hes my most popular sculpt at the moment. :)

      My resin is a custom bend of different brands, the dyes i use are Smoothons though, i mix different amounts of brown, yellow and red to get my skintones...

      Unlike actual "male anatomy" resin is not flexable, so to create a doll that is more than miniscule in the "male anatomy" department (not to be overly graphic, but im a man, i know what that area looks like and i feel extremely sorry for all the "male" dolls ive seen nude) so i decided to make the hips changable rather than make him shrimpy. :lol:

      Im glad you enjoyed my core tutorial,..I do drill all the other parts, arms, legs, upper part of the body ect.. making long thin cores is impossibe so i use a special (huge) drill press to drill out all the long bodyparts, most drill presses will only drill to a 3" or 4" inch depth mine has a 6" pull/depth,.. you'd be surprised how few drill presses can do that.

      yes i know, i promised myself id never do this but, ive been making dolls for over 2 years now and im starting to get tired of some of my headsculpts and even of my base doll sculpt, so ive decided to begin to phase out certain sculpts over time and make some of them limited. im working on a completely new body that will eventually replace the current sculpt.... the molds also eventually wear out and are rather time consuming and expensive to remake, so instead of repeating things over and over forever i plan on making some changes. :)

      I hope that got all the questions,..sorry for my bad grammar and mispellings,... ill try to sign in more often, you can also feel free to send e-mails througn my website,.. www.bishonenhouse.com

      take care everyone and thanks again :)

    43. Hi Donn, I just adopted my first Bishonen House boy from another DoA member and he's pretty impressive! I am having trouble figuring out which head sculpt he is though.

      Since you've already identified sculpt 3, and sculpt 5 has a pic on your website, could you say which of your finished dolls are heads 2 and 4? (The ones you will discontinue?). Thanks!!

      And congrats on the article. I bought a copy of FDQ just to see it...what was really funny was the magazine was shelved so high at B Dalton I had to make some 6 foot guy reach me down a copy. LOL! They must not sell many to us average size lady doll collectors!
