My tiny(nude doll) New face!

I started making a ball jointed doll! So far I have been making my prototype from sculpey, but I'll be making a mold very soon from what I have so far (mostly so I can refine it more, as the sculpey is starting to get weak)

The doll is very small, the torso is just under three inchs from shoulder to crotch, and the head is just over 1 1/4". It takes rather large eyes, I may change that later; Ive already decided to shorten the neck and re-shape the pecs a bit.

I started this doll because I wanted to give the process a try before I moved on to making some thing larger, and I also love the tiny dolls! Any way, enough blab. As I said, I'll be sanding and changing it more once Ive made a cast.

 

I'll be making a mold with brush on latex mold builder. The first cast will more than likely be the clear casting resin since I have that in my studio already ops: but I will be doing later ones with better resin.

As for the skull cap, I forgot to mention on here, its not attatched in the pictures, and it shifted so it is deeper than it looks, but I may make it deeper yet. I'll try and take a better picture of it later so you can let me know what you think! :grin:

 

Yey! Thanks so much! ops: For this one, it shouldnt be a big deal, but in the future that will come in very handy!

 

Wow! Thats heavier than I expected! Good to know though, thanks!

 

Thanks! I hope to put in some work on them next week, since I'll be less busy then. Iam thinking about making a sleepy head from this one to start with, ops: since then I dont have to stress over sizing the eye holes inside!

 

Wooo! Updated version of the head, now with ears! I also did a tiny bit of smoothing, but Iam takign a mold today, so I can make a copy to work on!

I also made the head a bit deeper, and added some shape around the neck socket.

 

Photo of the mold (in progress) I think Iam sensitive to the latex! I'll have to switch to some thing else ASAP.

 

:grin: Also made a pair of eyes, Iam adding more glaze to them now. The iris is a bit un-even in shape on one of them, and tehy are not a perfect match, but I think they came out very nice for a first try (and being 8mm)

 

From what I understand the silicone picks up fine details better, and makes a longer lasting mold any way! I should see if Tammies carries it, and if not order some online. ops:

On the plus, the mold did come out pretty nicely.

 

Yey! I changed the head. A lot. I reshaped the eyes, slimmed the nose, trimmed the lower lip, and Iam yet to reshape the upper lip (it was rather uneven, I noticed when I turned a photo upside down)

Any way, I need to finidh re-shaping, then I'll sand it up again. I think it looks much better now The pink on the lip is from where I did a test paint, a bit of it stained ops: but thats okay.


That reminds me, speaking of stains, if you look at the first post, there is a big grey streak on the side of the head, its from the print on a paper towel. I hadnt noticed when i did it until it was already set, and I caught myself almost doing that again today. So dont use printed paper towels for this sort of thing ops:

 

Another set of cahnges to the head. I fixed the upper lip, evened out the jaw line and made fuller cheeks. The upper lip is the same shape as before, it washed out in the picture, but its still very full, I evened the shape by adding a dab more clap to the small side.

 

ops: I got the funniest comment on this from a friend today: "That thing is creepy. Why are you making it? To sell to Tim Burton?" hahaha! Priceless. I love my friends!

 

:grin: Thanks you guys! Iam thinking about doing some more heads in this size (and stop poking at this one, since its in a nice place)

Ive changed the body a lot as well, but I need to build some areas up before I post ops:

 

Joy! I'll be taking a resin casting class from Septmber to December! *GLEE*
