Nakana Workshop Discussion

New

Gourgeous lady! Absolutely lovely how her skin has been paintedI'd love to see more actually mature dolls.

Also what hybrids would you guys recommend for Nakana heads? I've seen the post with Fanff, but I'd like a body that's a bit broader but still more on the realistic side. It would be perfect, if it's suitable for various styles from more modern to medieval. So an overly muscular or toned physique isn't that suitable.

 

New I only recenty became aware of Nakana and, even though I haven't invested in a large doll for years, I couldn't resist the Panya sculpt. Had to try the grey skin too. I can't answer any hybrid questions since I ordered the Nakana body, really liked the smaller breast options.

I've been trying every wig I have on her and she looks wonderful in all of them. A few examples,

From the measurements I see, I imagine Sartorial J would be good option. But they are too pricey just for "try outs" so I don't know for sure. I personally like Maskcat doll body. They fit perfect together, in my opinion.

 

New @phanuel It is so nice to see more gray skin examples! I am tempted to acquire one more Panya head in Gray so I can make young version of her, too. Also light tan doll just so I have all major skin colors. lol

 

New @Lady Maeve , I was intrigued by the description of "grey" being a "realistic color". But I've always considered a lot of the tan colors to contain too much of a yellow tone, especially when I first got into the hobby, so I gave it a go. Love it.
I have a Moppiedoll that also has a rather grayish tan.
It is difficult to choose a resin color sometimes. One of each works.

Sartoria J is beautiful and nicely mature! Price wise a bit on the higher end, though I can't seem to find the option for just a body. May I ask which Maskcat one you used? 57cm or 62cm?

 

New Supia ballerina body, 100%. I love to try heads on mine all the time and I can say that my Yvonne looked fantastic. Also worked on the older, discontinued Impldoll Star Woman body. And, for a different take, works seriously well on the Resinsoul Cen body. I plan to put my Yvonne on that body permanently. Just the tiiiiniest bit bobble headed, but with a wig, is negligible.

I would venture to say that the newest Impldoll bodies would work really well. Definitely the 68cm range, for sure. Also the 61cm bodies like the plump body I feel pretty confident would work well. At some point I will have both, just not at this time, lol!

Also, pretty certain they will work on the Resinsoul 68cm body as well. I had a Migidoll Mu head on mine, which was originally intended as a male head, and looked really well. Lots of options out there, just gotta decide what particular esthetic you're looking for is~ ^_~

Ooh Supia I can definitely imagine! They have a similar sorts of feel. Yvonne is the one I like to most, so to hear she fits great is very niceAlso interesting combo with Resinsoul

 

New

If I get a chance, I'll try to take and upload some photos to share of the Yvonne head on at least those three bodies~ Might be some time, but I usually make it back around, lol

Supia's ballerina body is like a miracle body. There is almost no head I've put on it that didn't work or wasn't instantly transformed. I just finally placed an order for another to give to a verrrry old head of mine that's super precious to me! A Dollmore Lilis Liv. I had to open the neck for a perfect fit and I only wish I'd done it sooner so I would have already had the body here!

 

New

I just looked it up. It is stunning!! Do you have photo of Nakana x Supia body combo?

 

New

If I can find my previous photos, I'll up them and share! Otherwise, it will have to wait for an off-work day so I can get everyone together... and be-headed, muwahaha ~ ^_~

 

New i'm also looking for a different body for my Sisca. she's on a dfh 58cm body, which was a good deal and i'll steal it for a different floating head but the Nakana head looks really oversized with the scale of the torso imo. I'd love to see pics of *any* Nakana x 62 to 68cm body hybrid! Especially Fanff, Supia or 2d Doll, tbh

 

New Oh I'd love to see a photo, @Lirin if you're able to! Of your Sisca on the DFH 58cm body, that is. I've been considering this pairing, or DFH's body that's the next size up (62-63cm, I'll double check).

 

New I don't have a photo at the moment because in the photoshoot i did a while back I did as much as possible to disguise the short torso and narrow shoulders. It fits together and though the head sits on it a little oddly, the neck doesn't gap or anything, but it's not to my taste. That's why I'm going to get a bigger body if I can find a better match. I'd size up, given the choice tbh.

Edit: I forgot to ask my question, I'm looking at Rosa and wondering if her head/face is actually smaller than some of the other Nakana sculpts? or is it just an illusion because of the more 'mature' face style? Does anyone have her yet?

 

New Took me a lot longer than expected to get this done, lol, but big set of photos incoming! I'll break down into segments. I only regret that when I finally had a chance to take photos, I couldn't do anything about the lighting. Soooo, super yellow colored lights. ^_^; Also, for reference, Resinsoul bodies are in "Normal", Supia is in the "New Normal" but is several years old now, the Impldoll head is in 'Mia Pink", and my Yvonne is is also about 5 years old and was a very yellow color when it arrived. It was in their original Volks normal color? But I was always shocked at just how yellow it was!

First up is a set of three bodies all together. In each set, I have rotated the heads so that the Yvonne heads goes on all three.

Next, are some singles. First, without a wig, then with a wig to help show how just adding a wig affects the appearance.

Had to leave two images as links because I went over the image cap, lol! My personal choice is obviously the Supia ballerina body with one caveat: the Supia 65cm would be an actual perfect match! I do not have it, so cannot show it, but it is just slightly larger than the ballerina and would completely eliminate the last of the "bobble headed-ness" that you can see here. Also, it was waaaay more work than I had in me to take the outfit off the Supia body, but thankfully it literally shows off all her curves!

And as always, I really hope this helps someone!!!

 

New @TasiaChiba Wow I love Supia Ballerina body!! Propotion is perfect with Yvonne heat too!!

Isn't it? I really do consider this body a magic body, lol! Everything is just so perfect on it!
