Robot Girl Machina Alpha [completed]

Aug 22, 2007

Watch Thread
Page 1 of 6
    1. You can purchase a machina from http://enchantmentdoll.com/ now! :D



      New pictures of the professionally casted machina parts on pg 18
      Finished pictures on pg 9!
      Most recent full body shots on pg 4





      To whichever mod approves this, can someone please let me know if she would still fall under the criteria of the forum?

      [​IMG]

      I decided to make a robot girl. I love robots and the transformers movie inspired me a lot. I made a bot in 3d studio max and then I wanted to make a girl bot, so I started work on her. I don't know if I want to call her Roxy Rocketgirl or Machina. X3 The lines are where I will be putting cut lines for her torso.


      [​IMG]

      Here she is with a mock up of what her head will look like. I did try the wig on over her ear buds and wigs will still fit fine over them. I may make a totally human head as well, but I'm not sure yet. And yes that's a key hole in her back. <3

      She'll have double jointed arms, knees and possibly a mobility hip joint if I can figure it out. I want her to be able to draw her knees up to her chest. She'll probably have heeled feet as well as regular feet. But I may end up making a second set of lower legs to accommodate bot-heels.

      Is she made of paper clay? *Out of curiosity. .x. *

    7. Logodae: I got her ear buds in this morning and about to prime her face and head so I can start putting on her pieces! I'm excited!

      ImpmonsTrueTamer101: Thanks! Yes she is paperclay. :3 I prefer paperclay because it's so easy to sand and shape.

      emiey: thanks! I kind of want to have her come with a key, but I don't know where I could get keys like that on a regular basis! I know the scrapbooking stores have them, but I'm always afraid that they're going to run out.

      Alita82: Thank you!

      Sola: thanks!

    12. She's gorgeous! I absolutely cannot wait to see more of your work on her! I love robots as well and your sculpt looks SO very promising!

      As for the keyhole, what if you cast your own? That would do away with the fear of stores running out, hehe. It'd be on the same lines as casting jewelry unless you chose to cast it out of resin as well and coat it with a silver of some sort. All thoughts and maybe it'll help you come up with an option that works for you! ^_^

    19. Yay new Batchix doll! At first I was like "ooh she's pretty" then I saw she was destined to be a robot and thought "hot damn that will be a cool doll!"

      I so can't wait to see this one finished, are you going to cast her with say a metallic powder filler or pearl pigment to give her a cyber tone in the resin?

    26. Nice to see you back, Batchix!

      The girl doll is a clever idea, to be sure. It will be fun to see her cast.

      Do you think you'll be making the big guy dolls any more, or are you just doing new models now?

    27. Love seeing pics of your robot girl! Are those lines going to be sort of like plate lines (like she's made of pieces of metal)? This is so cool, I'll have to watch her progress!!

    28. Thanks everyone!

      We had a terrible scare yesterday. The fan fell out of the window on her poor face. It crushed her chin, but I was able to rebuild it. Her face is a little chubbier now. I'll hopefully be able to put up some pictures of her primed head soon, but priming over the foam stuff I used for her hat part is taking a while. :3

      I do plan on making her for sale after she's finished... and yes, lolipop, I have even already bought the silver stuff for making her silver! XD Actually she'll just look irredescent silver, not true silver. I might get the true silver coating sometime too. It's sort of expensive is all. I'm trying to cast and not have so many bubbles and rough seam lines. We'll see how that goes.

      TasiaChiba~ I thought about making a key... but I don't know yet. we'll see. X3 I like delicate filigree keys.

      Bunnydots~ Actually I have a new head coming out here shortly and I just sculpted the big guy new feet. :3 So yeah, I'll totally be making the big guys as well.

      Dollist~ Yup, the lines will be plate lines. I already cut into her face before i primed it to make the lines... so whenever I can get some photos up you'll see. :D

    30. I'm totally with you there on delicate filigrees, Batchix! :love homg, totally! =dweeb= Well, you could always work a little on one to see if it comes out how you like. If not, back to the drawing board then, I suppose! :sweat

      And... smashed chins are no good... O___O Of course, I've delt with plenty of smashed noses... ehhhehhhh....

      Can't wait to see those updated pictures! She's grand so far!

    36. TasiaChiba: If her nose or upper lip was smashed i'd have been heart broken. i worked for a whole day just on her nose and lips! @D@


      paperbot: awesome~~ I love robots. :3 I grew up on transformers, star wars and voltron. XD

      ImpmonsTrueTamer101: If I could have a giant ball-jointed optimus prime I'd be so happy. XD Alas, just as i cannot easily draw transformers I cannot easily hand sculpt them either since they have so many flat planes! Maybe I can weasel a kit basher into one someday. Till then, I'll just have to 3d model them. I did Starscream's head from Hearts of Steel: http://batchix.deviantart.com/art/StarScream-hearts-of-steel-1-61727488 and I also made my own character, brialnine, who I'd LOVE to have a doll of. ;~; MANG~~ I may make one yet. who knows. XD

      bunnydots: Just let me know! :3


      Thanks for all the awesome comments and encouragement. It makes me want to work on her all the more. I was able to do some experiments with some new casting techniques and it worked out awesome. I am so pleased. Her head is taking longer to prime than I thought it would too! And I'm not so sure how to do the mobility joint anymore. XD I had a great idea and then realized it wouldn't work. So back to the drawing board. I plan on putting in cut lines into her secondary knee and elbow joints as well and possibly casting them in a different color.

    44. Ugh! It's a good thing, then! The face I worked on my dad caused the nose to smash. I'd already repaired it twice from other people smooshing it... ^^;; Even now, after safely being baked, it has altered from the original cute cute nose... =sigh= Ah well! Can't win them all, heh.

      Anyway, waiting ohhhhh so patiently for more update pictures! :aheartbea

    45. More pictures!

      She can stand now! I just finished her mobility joint on her hips as well, but until they're totally dry I can't post pictures. :3 Her upper torso is also finished and ready for priming. I also finished her other hand, so hopefully in a day or so we'll have hands done for her. I usually bake my paperclay at 250 in 15 minute intervals to make it dry faster(it shortens drying time by a day to two days!), but the way I make hands I use hot glue to put the fingers on and obviously that won't do for the oven. XD

      Bunnii: thank you sweetie! My host is having issues, so I put stuff on flickr for now. :/

      Starlight_Mask: Awww, I know the feeling. I'm pretty tight right now. :/

      Distractus: thanks!

      o01101011: Thank you! I do plan on selling casts when I've finished. :3


      Ann in CT: thank you! I'm very pleased with her face. It's hard for me to make cute or pretty faces because I like strong features. I think that's why most of my boy dolls don't appeal to a lot of people... but I think I managed to keep her soft. :3 Even though she's a robot she can still wear wigs. My husband thinks she looks like someone out of Tron!

      lady_chance: Thank you!

      TasiaChiba: Oh that's awful! I've had that happen before... it's so heart breaking when no matter how many times you try to fix it, it's never quite the same. I was so worried that would happen with the robot girl's face, but it seems to be fine.

    47. Your girl looks fantastic so far. That serene expression really puts to mind Metropolis, which is the Lady Robot to end all Lady Robots in my opinion. I'm curious to see what you do with the feet, that's always such an issue with androids, you can be creative or simple and either can make or break the entire concept, you know? Also I'm loving this whole idea because I'm working on a robotic steam punk penguin for a gallery show and while doing it I was imagining how much fun a doll in that style would be (like I have the time though...).

      Can't wait to see more!

      Such a nice figure and the silver paint is great. I can't wait until you cast her.

      I was actually going to sculpt my own StarScream, but once I got into it I decided I'd buy Husky for him and make the doll I was sculpting an OC. I have no idea what Prime would be. O.O Sabik maybe...? XD
      Ohhh, that's pretty good. You can do 3D, I'm jelous. I know what you mean though, drawing most mechs is HARD. >_<
