Robot Girl Machina Alpha [completed]

Aug 22, 2007

    1. Ahhh beautiful Love the new pices of the blue. I want one soooo much. Don't know If I'll be able to get one..maybe I'll put myself on the wait list to see if I can get the money up anyways.
       
    2. *sigh* no more pink ones. but i like the blue one too :) though not as much -__-
      edit: guess'll get a white one a dye it
       
    3. Oh man! I want one!!!!!!!!!!! Batchix, you're AMAZING! :D
       
    4. Your girls are LOVE!!! I'm so glad I decided to hop onto that wait list!
       
    5. These robot girls are awesome (blue is always a winner), but who is that doll in the background of the picture? I know's it's all blurry, but it looks an awful lot like Donn's (of Bishonen House) new guy sculpt!
       
    6. Wow, that Decepticon one with the black lining is really awesome. I love the contrast. =3
       
    7. Rabbitdance: It is Donn's new sculpt, and a wee bit of Donn too. 8D
       
    8. I dont realy like robots, but I LOVE yours!!!!! >.< they are both so cute!!! ^.^ GREAT JOB!!! ^.^ *grabs blue one and runs off* ^.~

      -Kira
       
    9. Really amazing O___o
      I love specially the blue one with tribals
       
    10. Can't decide....which one..... *___*

      And omg, the Decepticon version just made my day XD
       
    11. Wow, just this morning I thought, "How can some people have so many dolls? When my girl gets here-she'll be the only one I need!", then I came here and saw your amazing work. And now it looks like I'll have to start saving up money again, because I think I'll need to have a Robo-Girl of my own in the future...
       
    12. I thought so! I don't know what Batchix looks like, though, so I wasn't sure if it was Donn or not.
       

    13. XD yeah, that's Donn. There are more pictures of the Ohio BJD artists gathering in the gallery thread for it. :3 I took some pics of Donn's new boy as well! Anyway, this is a blurry picture of me: http://g36.net/ocdesigns/photos/make-up/june07_70.jpg granted I just dyed my hair blonde in anticipation of dying it blue, so I look a little bit different now. X3

      according to people who know me I have the same lips as machina(when not grinning anyway). XD

      Glad you guys like the blue Machina so much! <3 She is indeed a decepticon, she's Thundercracker. http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Thundercracker She was too smiley to be Soundwave. XD

      Lady Vincira: Yes, she is wearing cleaves! Twigling made me those as a birthday present. Aren't they awesome? :3

      Thanks for all your kind comments! I am floored by how much people enjoy the Machina. The first batch of them should be headed home next week sometime. I'm pretty slow casting because I just broke out all over my arm again. I have to wait for it to go down before I can do anything. e.e;;
       
    14. Oh jeeze, that sucks majorly. Take your time and get well.

      Oh, there will be so much spammage from me when she gets here. XD
       
    15. Oh goodness:ablink:. Do you know why? Are you allergic to the casts or something?

      I hope it clears up and you feel better soon!:)
       
    16. Ohhh, the new pics are delicious! o.o
      I wish I could have saw one in person, but alas...>_>;;;

      I adore the Thundercracker! I can't believe you were able to paint the decepticon logo on her. I have trouble just drawing the thing. XP

      An d a bit OC...SoundWave is a grumpy butt....anyway...

      Rash? Freaky. O_o;;;; Hope it gets better for you.
       
    17. Awww they are so pretty!!!
      They make me wanna paint one of these beauties. :D
       
    18. :thumbup Really great job you have done on them,beautifully sculpted
       
    19. *dead*

      huuuu, I love her so much in bluuue T.T
      can we see more pics pleaase *.* nyoooo
       
    20. Jeanemon: I can't wait to get these girls out to their families! I've got one more to cast and then they'll all be ready for cleaning!

      Mitsko: I have an allergy to the uncured resin. I got some on my skin, so that gave me a pretty significant break out. It usually goes away within a day or so, but because of the heat here, the other allergens in the air from the fire, and stress it took me a while to get rid of the rash!

      ImpmonsTrueTamer101: It's actually one of the first times I've drawn the decepticon logo, and it was from memory! I had sketched it on her before I left, but when I painted it I didn't have any reference. The final one was painted on instead of watercolor pencil. She's really quickly become one of my favorite dolls!

      Smiling Doll: Thank you! I'mglad you like them!

      Shiza: thank you! :D

      Nyo: I will try to find some more time to take photos, but at the moment I'm sort of swamped with sewing and casting. ;3; Mercy took some photos of the pink girl, Elita, and those are in the gallery if you want to see more photos of the dolls. :3
       
    21. Wow. ;3;

      She IS pure awesome. XD

      Oh, and I have a question. You know how the lines and such are colored, like, the white one has blue touches? Well, I was woundering if you could request other colors, maybe grey, or something other than the blue?
       
    22. :ablink: WOW she looks so cool.
       
    23. I'm trying so hard to talk myslef out of this. How long is the waiting list...months? There might be hope if its months....:(
       
    24. Last I heard, the waiting list ran until next spring, so you'd have some time. ^_^
       
    25. Next Spring...? Whoa. O.O
       
    26. I absolutely love the body... it is so detailed, and fantastic.. OMG@!
       
    27. To give you an idea of what the line is like, I was put on the list about a week ago and I'm number 60. XD I requested an estimate about when my robot girl would be made and she said next spring, depending on if people drop out of the list or not.
       
    28. I could likely swing that! :)
       
    29. I cant believe that the list is so long. But hey! The doll rocks! Its quite unique, and very beautiful! I'm more amazed at how long it will take for the dolls to get out. Batchix needs to get a crew! Make herself a company!
       
    30. I second soshi!
       
    31. oh my! I want one now :)
       
    32. Lovely work. But Batchix, please be careful! Resin sensitivity gets worse with repeated exposure... and it's potentially life-threatening. Okay, only if you're stupid or stubborn enough to keep exposing yourself to the stuff after it's already given you asthma... but I'm sure you don't want to get anywhere near that point. And the less direct contact you have, the more likely you'll be able to keep working with resin safely.

      Sigh. I apologize for the preachiness, and for bringing up unpleasant stuff you probably already know.
       
    33. I agree with Logodae, and have worried about you and your resin-reactions since you made one of your Dark Castle boys and had a bad breakout. you need a Level 2 Containment Suit. or something. gloves and gauntlets up to the armpit? vacuum cleaner (with micro filters) to suck dust out of the air as you work and afterwards so stray bits don't get on you - or in you. *sneezes* :|


       
    34. Huh...I didn't know it could be life threatening. O_o;;;
       
    35. Did you finish the gun metal girl? :)
       
    36. I-AM-IN-LOVE :love :love :love :D

      They remind me of Ghost in the Shell especially without the eyes and the Jenova statue in FFVII I'm really wanting one of these dolls now. Arg I'm going to have to break the promise to my mother of only getting two :sweat I have no character for her though even so I'd just have her anyway to be my lil robot girl *hugs one* Definately going to have to invest in one I hope they're still around.
       
    37. Yes, do be careful. These robot girls are awesome, but we'd all rather have you be safe than risking your health to make them.

      Haha, I already thought of a name for mine. I think I'll name her Ai for love/artificial intelligence. =3 Not terribly clever, but cute.
       

    38. He he that is actually quite clever I actually wouldn't have thought of that myself. I've thought of a name almost. It's going to be in leet speak then she can be reffered to as a number but also have a name (I'm thinking of this and I haven't even got one yet:sweat I dnt even know if theyre still being made )

      I was also wondering if anyone knew is it possible to repaint them with the colour you want? Just curious

      Her names gna be 134 (AKA Lea)
       
    39. It's such a looooong wait I haven't considered her name, I do all my name hunting on baby name search sites once I get a meaning I want in mind. I do however have a pretty good idea how I want to paint her though (in my sig)

      I don't see any reason that she couldn't be painted any less than other dolls, with lots of sealant it should be fine, I am going to suede her joints to help keep the paint from scratching off.


      Hope you are feeling better Batchix! :cheer
       
    40. ah right k but I bet theres special paint isnt ther. Sorry to sound like noob >_< I'd be unsure about stuff like that anyway even if I wasn't a newbie I'm scared of doing stuff wrong I probs wont mod my doll for aaaaaaaaages

      GET WELL SOON BATCHIX!!!
       
    41. Oh I want one sooooo bad! But I'll have to ask my mom first...then I'll get back to you miss batchix!
       
    42. How unique! I really like her feet! haha!
       
    43. Hey guys! Thanks for all the support! I'll try to answer a few questions here real quick:

      The wait list is looking like probably till next april, although there may be a large batch sooner. That's sort of up in the air right now while we arrange things. :3 If you want a doll tho, I'd really suggest you get on the list even if you're going to pass till next year.


      I am being real careful with the resin and not over exposing myself. I cast one doll every other day with long sleeves, gloves and such on. If I have a break out I don't cast until it's all gone away. This is making the wait a little longer, so I apologize to people waiting for their dolls.

      You can paint her like you could any other doll. The blue machina, Thundercracker, that I've shown has black painted details. I sealed with with MSC and a liquitex gloss sealer and they seem pretty resilient, but they'll wear off with play.

      Please feel free to PM me with any questions you might have! If for some reason I don't answer my email is also available through this site. :3

      Now for pictures of the gunmetal girl, Nova!

      [​IMG]
      with her batch sisters, all ready to go! Unfortunately I'm behind on shipping for various reasons. I just finished the first batch this weekend which is like two weeks behind schedual. x_x then my EYEBALLS didn't show up so I had to run out to volks and buy some there.

      [​IMG]

      she's up on ebay for grabs. :D

      [​IMG]

      thanks again for all the support! here's a sneak peak at the boy I'm working on. The boy machina won't look like him, he's just a junk cast I'm playing with.

      [​IMG]

      No fair peeking at his url to find out his name! Here's a hint: he's a grumpy blue decepticon with lots of little friends.
       
    44. oh goodies! cant wait to see him!
       
    45. I only just stumbled in on the thread now at her completion, and all I can say: she's so absolutely gorgeous in every way. <3
       
    46. Good to hear you're being careful and not exposing yourself to the resin too much. ^_^

      And yaaaaay for the boy modle! ^_^ When do you think he'll be up for sell? Er, not to rush you though, just curious. Oh, and, can I be put on a waiting list for a boy modle when they're done? Or, are you planning on making a StarScream...? O.O

      Ah...is it Soundwave...? I'm going on the facts that he's grumpy and a decepticon. Oh, and Frenzy and Rumble. XD Yay for tiny little Cassesstes!
       
    47. That is sooo cooll:D A boy body!!! I was wanting to see the male version!
       
    48. Bats, your gunmetal girl is a work of art. I used to curate a University art gallery and would have been thrilled to show her in any of our exhibits.

      good luck to some lucky person for this girl. bad timing for me, but I can mess around with my blue version and make her more my own. art you can play with, that's our BJD world. :sumomo:
       
    49. Shes okay as from an art view, but i dont see dolls in that kinda way, must have been hard to make though. Ill give u alot of congrats for that and good luck selling her.
       
    50. Oh that is very cool!
      You did an amazing job!
      I just wonder what you would put on her since she looks already so perfect without wig or costume.
       
    51. I just saw this post now and i think your work is really great work ! and so unique ! bravo !
       
    52. Take your time Batchix - these girls are definitely worth the wait :)

      The gunmetal girl is just beautiful. It's a good thing I can't afford bidding on her, because I would probably just sit and stare at her all day, day dreaming of faraway sci-fi worlds... ;)
       
    53. Eeeeeee, look at all those little robot girls together~ For some reason, the white ones always seem to be in a more sad looking pose. But it's neat to see the rage of emotions they can show. Confused, playful, sad, and that Pink one glared like no other.

      Just take care of yourself, Bats! It's worth the wait for them. :3
       
    54. Just a pervy observation on the male body: Since he's mechanical, you should make *it* look like a real faucet....
      :)
       
    55. Batchix, I would be happy to buy that "junk" male torso off you! XD (if you were willing to sell it of course) Because I have had minimal success in creating a body for my poor L-bi Dozing and he's supposed to be an android any way! :3
       
    56. OMG ...Bluegirlie bots !
      Im getting all exited ...:)
       
    57. :lol: i was wondering about that too!
       
    58. I like the male body. 8D I don't know if it should have noticeable genitalia though, since it's a robot. It's up to you, but it doesn't seem that the female has anything down below, so the male shouldn't have anything either, or at least not anything overly detailed.
       
    59. Batchix! I know of you from KiSS! You were a huge inspiration to me when I started KiSSing. (My artist name is Jessi, but I doubt you know of me.)

      I had no idea you were so talented in other areas! This is simply amazing.
       
    60. If you name him Soundwave I will love you forever. He's one of my favorite Decepticons!!!
