And I'm doing the head now. Do you think the proportions look right? I'm going for a more realistic-looking human head. This will be a 55-60 cm tall doll.
I like the mouth expression You may want to close the eyelids from the top and shorten its length if you want more realism, because although that is a beautiful sculp, she/he barely differs from the deformed (in the cutest and most beautiful sense!!!) of other BJDs out there. And give her/him some eyelids.. puff it up! doesn't matter if it's not meant to be asian, everyone has eyelids!! sorry if that was too much critique... -_-" I really hope this doll becomes one of those rare beauties! realistic yet gorgeous!
She (???) is very cute so far. If you want he to be semi-realistic, I would suggest giving her a little more chin. That is a very common BJD aethetic, to shorten the distance between the bottom of the lips and the end of the chin. Good luck with your new sculpt!
Do you mean shorten or lengthen the lower lip-chin distance? Anyway what I have planned for this is a Malkavian look, from the White Wolf Vampire series. She's supposed to eventually look a bit insane, and I'm thinking of having half the face showing a grin and the other half looking unhappy. Nothing radical, this look will be very subtle.
Ooh I like her so far ^^ The overall shape of the head and proportions look really nice, I think it already looks more realistic than a lot of BJDs out there.
looking good (i only wish i had that talent) the lips look hard to sculpt. Ha! but thats just me nice job though.
