Actually abbychan I've been making my own dolls since I was little But this is my first bjd XD I had contact with bobobie again and I know more about the prices and they also suggested doing the order of 50 dolls in stages, so not 50 at once, and I really like that idea, we probaly need to set up a contract then and I dont know how that works if your in two different continents XD but I'm sure we'll find a way! Now I also know more so I can try to set up a finance plan I might ask my little brother to make an internet page for her ^.^ so people that want to be added to the list can email me or something, I'm getting really exited and I loooooove to hear that people want to buy my creation And she's not going to be that expensive, I need to calculate trough how many hours I've spend on her and how many money I want for those hours and then calculate how much that would be per mermaid I would also like to make a few fullsets and sell those in an auction and then sell the rest as kits, since she's just made for customisation I think at least she is I would love to see what colors and hair and face/body-ups people would come up for her wow XD just typed that in a few seconds, I'm so exited!
Back from rubbish works! lol ooo the Prospect of having her in different colours excites me!! would bobobie cast her in different resin colours? Im not sure what I would do with her TBH, I just think shes so beautiful!
Wow. Wow!! Ooo now here's a doll that is just dying to be their lovely blue, or lilac, or green... I mean visualize the mermaid, under water... shimmering... I LOVE this little beastie! I sure would be interested...
for everone that's interested, you can email me at [email protected] I'm still poking my little brother to make an internet page for her XD
Do you know roughly how much she'd be going for once cast for just a plain kit? Thanks P.s I can make you an internet page for her!
I think about 200 dollar... I'm not 100% sure yet becous I dont know how much shipping from bobobie to me will be and how much customs I will have to pay. It's just a rough estimation for now. And thanks for offering XD that's very sweet but you dont have to, I'll just poke my little brother again XD I already have my own website it only needs to get a new page
Her own website is online, it's nothing special but done by my little brother and has all the information you need! XD http://www.annevanstormbroek.nl/mermaid/
no XD they are very simular but a tad different, the proportions are better ( in my opinion) and the ears are nicer
She is so amazingly beautiful, and that tail is simply genious. I really love the fact that she has some fat on her body, most bjds I've seen are very slim, and though that is a part of their aestethic and I think they too are beautiful, it's nice to see a doll that if she was real wouldn't be either prepubescent or dying form malnutrition. Well, even though her body is one of the most wonderful things I've seen I really think it's her face that makes her so beautiful, she has a soul.
Hey! That is such a neat idea! Im curious how you made the tail-- very nice. It would be cool if the casted this one. ;D
Ah man, I really want to see her casted! Was Bobobie easy to work with? (I'm sorry if this has been asked already. I'm just too afraid of making my own doll because I know I'll want to cast it, but I'm not sure if I'd be able to do it on my own.) And... if you have any advice for me, perhaps you could send me a pm? ^^; Hope I'm not bothering ~
Thanks for all the reactions Yes Dennis is a very nice man. He's very coöperative and explains a lot. Only downer is it doenst looks like I'm going to save up enough money for casting soon. Becous I would have to order a minimum of 50 Mermaids and I'm not sure if I'll be able to sell that much. I've been reworking one of the faces again ( the first face actually) and I really like how it came out. I have casting materials myself now and I'm going to try to cast her myself with this face. photoshop mock-up.
Thanks Littlepinkfaery, Ayas-Shadow and Christie Kuraiangels, I cant just take money from people if I'm not sure the doll is going to be casted.
Casting experimants XD moldmaking is pretty hard... I have slow curing rubber so it took 2 days XD resin cures very fast... 2-3 minutes then it starts curing already, it heats up and after it cooled down ( +- 20 minutes ) I can get it out the molds...
Wow. Just the awesome amount of work that went into this. Definitely one of the more ambitious projects I've seen. Best of luck!
Thanks Amethystangel Abbychan, I need to buy more rubber to make all the molds... I need a lot and it's pretty expensiv D: But I will be finishing her! I will at least make 1 for myself and I might make 1 to auction off and maybe if it brings up enough money I'll make a few more XD it's a lot of work casting... and very nervewracking D:
What a wonderful concept. For those who like mermaids, I am sure they will sell, have you thought about putting a poll on your first post for those that might be interested? If it has been mentioned, sorry for the double post. I didn't read every post, to see. Good luck.
Blackie, not I didnt think of that, but you can email me if your interested and I'll keep those updated when she will become for sale. Stephanie, I'm happy you say that! XD I love them to... But I'm a real pervert... I really love how her nipples came out XD
i love the idea of a mermaid! i have to agree with call me stephanie that her breast are anantomically GORGEOUS!
