Seed Arts heads - Wol and Peabody

and now i'm thinking of Carrie Fisher and the glitter story hahaha.

I kinda like the blue wig on her, it contrasts nicely with the lips and eyes and complements the silver.

 

Sorry for the delay on more hybrid pics! Been a busy few weeks for me.

Have a new pic of Tarazed, since I slapped some action figure wings on her.

 

I'm honestly in love with this sculpt, she gets sold out so fast though ;-; hopefully I'll get her someday!

 

Here's my artist cast wol, birdy, since i finally go her wig and eyes (her name is actually elizabeth, but i just couldn't resist the nickname)

 

@Rosslyn I just saw this and am so torn! I've been wanting to wait for an artist cast but these are so reasonably priced!

 

gosh i'm so tempted. I'm supposed to be saving for something though. Nhghhhhh.

 

@Rosslyn congrats on Peabody! I was so tempted by him but ahhh, gonna be good. (EDIT: nvm I caved )

In Wol-News, my girl is nearly finished faceup wise and i shall have her next week, ahhh! And then to get her wings and claws painted and an outfit figured out and and and...

 

Peabody's head fascinates me. That jutting forehead, that weird nose... I really do like how unusual and characterful these heads are.

 

Ok, ok, I am officially out of lurking in this thread. Since the first time I saw a Wol, I was intrigued but thought, naw, I'll pass. But I kept looking here and was getting more interested...

Well I blame it on Rosslyn for sharing the Wol pre order! I caved and ordered one!

I went with Peach skin just to make finding a body easier. I'm thinking RS as I like the style, plus the price is great. He even told me his name before I decided to buy! Not that I need another doll to care for, but I would have regretted not having a Wol.

 

Awesome regarding the title change, I was just about to ask that!

 

That is the coolest idea! Take lots of pictures!

 

Here is my Artist Cast Wol head. She's on a Dream of Doll (older) msd body - and it works well I think. (not the best picture and it's only after posting that I noticed the eyes are not quite right.) *sigh*

@Rosslyn I went back to re read the thread and saw your Aspen again, I never commented on how amazing she is! You did a fantastic job making her look like an Aspen in humaish form.

@elf-ears I like your girl, and the body does work. Her eyes are very pretty!

I'm glad to see finding a body won't be difficult. I've already decided on a RS boy body in no to match the head. I'm thinking it will match close enough. The neck sizes match up perfectly. Can't get the body until I pay off another doll, so looks like winter. Still, no hurry, lol.

 

I just spent a couple days sewing a shirt for my Wol, who won't be here till this fall, and who doesn't even have a body yet...

I'm hoping, fingers crossed and all, that I can get a used body next month at our local bjd con.

 

@Rosslyn I'm thinking resinsoul for the body as I like the thinness of it. But for the right price, I'll consider any male msd body that works with resin matching, or looks good. Basically, a cheap used body is first choice, lol. I also like the DZ body with the heart carved into it. Only issue is the wait times for DZ.

 

I actually plan on slapping my Peabody on a Summerbird Viola body - got it with both busts cause he is something of a genderless entity who chooses what he is daily

 

I really want to jump on this chance for a Wol head... but I have no idea what body I would want to put it on, and that makes it hard to choose a resin colour...

Partly it's because I still can't decide if I would want to take advance of the unusual facial features to make her into a fantasy creature, or have her more as a stylised real person.

I'm kind of tempted by the idea of shelling her as a vulture girl, though.

 

Can I vote YES on the vulture girl?

I admit, I only got mine a KDF body as I love the claws they released with the Bory Zeus version and I am way too damn lazy to mod them to fit any other body

 

vulture vulture vulture yesss!

weird thing I noticed, I seem to be building a small collection of "bird people" lol.
My DC Carol, Cree my four armed critter with his bird feet, my want for a Wol... clearly I need to just embrace the bird people hhahaha.

 

Oh my gosh, I just googled your blog- your four-armed guy is AMAZING!

I never thought about mixing and matching RS fantasy parts... I wonder if I could get Sui hands and feet on a female body. How are you finding Sui's knees, now you've had a chance to pose your guy a bit more?

 

Heh thank yoU!

his knees don't actually seem to pose, it's bizarre. Like, you CAN get them to move if you pull them out of the socket but they have no mechanism so I don't think they're supposed to bend. Wiiiierd.

I'm really pleased with him though. Just wish his wig would get here arghh. it's been nearly 2 months and i'm getting annoyed about it.

I can check the hands if you like. the rs girl bodies have quite large hands anyway but their arms are a lot thinner so the balls likely won't actually fit. The width of the arms is like half the boy arm width.
That said, i'm pretty sure there IS a female clawed hand somewhere.

I wish they'd do female birdy dragon feet, they'd look amazing with the Wol head right?
The small Pi/Pixiu feet fit the girl legs, but they look a bit disproportionately small. I'm a big fan of GIANT feet personally haha.

 

random aside, cannot stop laughing at Babi Sinsir

 

Well, I got the shirt finished, now to think about pants.

My idea is to loosely base my Wol's character off of the movie Kubo of the Two Strings. Not an exact copy, but just the name and similar dress style. I've learned I can't do exact characters, just my own version. Took years of frustration to figure that out.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's character concepts. A vulture girl is so unique I think you must do one @phragmosis!

 

I checked out the Wol Etsy sales page again, just to re read the info about skin tones. I picked peach, looks like Volks normal matches. Resin matching doesn't have to be perfect for me, so that makes it a little easier.

There will only be 15 Wol heads made total, and if there aren't two of any color, that color won't get made. I sure hope the minimum is met! The order period ends August 10th. Now I'm thinking of not getting a body until I know for sure if the head will get made and in what color. The white is my second choice, also easier to resin match. I would really love to have a Wol head, so I'm hoping there are more ordered!

 

According to the etsy listing, it's at least three of any colour... I'm so torn!

 

Oh, three. That makes it tougher. I checked, it looks like three have sold. I wonder what colors? One is peach. I think I'm going to stop working on this character until after August 10. No use getting too prepared then finding out it won't work.

 

I'd like a tan one, but finding a matching body could be tricky gah. Just... broooown... <_<

 

Oh I can't wait to see that!

My Peabody shipped as did my Wol from the artist so I just casually stalk the postman

 

Congratulations on shipping notices! Please share when you have the time!

 

@Rosslyn congratulations on getting a body too! Yes, very exciting. A secondhand body, or new? I understand about having an idea, but having to wait on the parts before you can begin. It does get frustrating.

I know what type of body I want, but have three weeks to wait before the doll con. There I'll look around, and if I don't find what I want, I'll wait to order one later this year. I already have the outfit, just one pair of red leggings to get. Red is such a hard color to find! There are some on Etsy, but I have to order from Eastern Europe. Nothing wrong with that, except shipping costs for something very inexpensive. I could sew my own, and will try if I get a body at the con. How did it get so hard just to get leggings?

 

one of the few cases where a dramatic difference in eye size between sculpts of the same scale actually looks good! (and intentional, and stylistically interesting)

 

Awww, a thread for Peabody and Wol! I've had a Peabody for a while now and love her:

I've hybrided her on a Bluefairy body and given her Dollfamily hands. She's my little adventurer. ^_^

 

@Rosslyn Gosh I love your hybrid idea! Also those two together look fantastic!

@Blablette Omg she is gorgeous! So nice to Peabody as a girl!

Still no news on my end on any of my two, post has eaten them

 

Yeah! I also love her crown. She looks like she's having a good day

 

@Roterwolkenvogel , @Rosslyn and @phragmosis Thank you all for Fiona! ^_^

 

Aspen looks so much like a Birch tree come to life. The trim used for the wig is absolutely perfect, it does look like Birch leaves. Every time is see Aspen, I'm amazed all over again.

 

Right, I did it... I pre-ordered two Wol heads in tan. Now to see if the tan preorder goes through... if it does, I'm planning on putting them on a Doll Chateau K-18 body.

 

@Rosslyn I adore your girl, she looks so extremly perfect with that body



Also Kendra is homeee

 

oh WOW! she's amazing

 

that dress!

THAT FACEUP

 

Yes, wow! Amazing!

I hope the pre order is successful. I see 5 have sold, and two are tan, one is peach, the other two? I really want a Wol the more I see the beautiful ones here.

 

@Roterwolkenvogel I have to agree with everyone before me--that dress/wig/face up design looks absolutely stunning!

 

Thank you all for your kind words

@Rosslyn god no, me and paint is a no no I am lucky enough that I have Ara as a bestie who is always willing to airbrush my stuff xD

 

Airbrush is awesome! I am so glad she got one years ago or I'd have a lot less dolls xD (like my centaurs, no way I'd have gotten them blushed without an airbrush... or my weapon arsenal)

 

This is me passing by with some Fiona spam! ^_^
Today is our National Holiday and we went out for a pic nic. She was the perfect doll to take with.
