The gnome warlock [Update 16-Nov]

Dec 21, 2007

    1. I loved to make my world of warcraft character as a balljointed doll. Well, the problem is she is a gnome warlock and no tiny mold fits her. So I decided to make my own BJD. Gnomes in WOW are seen a bit more animestylish looking compared to the other characters. I think she will fit in the "asian" part of BJD ;)

      She will be between 25-30 cm long. I'm not sure if I should define her as a tiny. She looks more like a sqashed SD XD
      I made her scaled perfect against a SD as I'm planning making a Succubus for her. What is a warlock without a demon?

      So long everything goes well, although I spend months on her head. :sweat

      Clay I use is the grey Super Sculpey Firm. I love/hate this clay as it shows a lot of detail and imperfection. Hence I spend to much time on the head:|
      Here is my progress:

      30-10-2007: finaly I am happy with the face. Still needed work on the details

      21-12-2007: I wasn't sure about the head. Grey looks so different. So I did a quick Mock-up face-up in photoshop. lol, nevermind the eyelashes :razz:

      [​IMG] [​IMG]

      I let the head rest now and work on the body and feet/hands.
      Soon more updates. ^^

      I hope I can bake her before Chistmas. Hmm baked gnome...:lol:

    2. :). she's looks great so far. She gonna look very pretty when you have her finished. ^^ i can't wait to see .
       
    3. Ooooh she's going to be so cute!

      I love her little nose.
       
    4. gnomes!!! I LOVE Gnomes. Keep up the good work.
       
    5. So funny. ^^ Here I am, playing Warcraft (as my Warlock, no less) and I see the title of this thread. And it actually is Warcraft! :)

      Fantastic so far - I'm amazed with how close you've got the mold. Great job! :aheartbea
       
    6. Amazing detail! It's gorgeous and looks perfect for a WoW gnome. Well done! It may have taken months for just the face, but those are months well-spent.
       
    7. This is such a cool project.
      She's looking very cute and I love the torso so far.
       
    8. I like the *sqashed" part :)
       
    9. after the gnome you should do a tauren :P horde ftw lol
       
    10. Wow. That is really, really good. I love that nose. :aheartbea: Can't wait to see more!
       
    11. OMG a tauren would be amazing. I laughed when I saw this little gal, she's fantastic... and it was a laugh of pure joy! You're doing a great job!
       
    12. Shweet :D I've been playing WoW for years and this is the first time I've seen someone try to make a bjd out of the characters. It's looking great so far :D even with the mock-up it looks like you'll have it to near perfection.
       
    13. She looks like a perfect part of the wow arena, nice job !

      I like the green hair on her with that eye shadow it's a nice match
       
    14. That is so cute! I've also wanted to make my night elf/troll characters into dolls ^_^
       
    15. She is looking really good, im cheating when it comes to my wow Char shes a nightelf and looks a lot like dolkot leaf! Keep up the good work i cant wait to see her finished.
       
    16. XD Sweet idea. Unforuantely I rolled nightelf too, so I can kinda cheat also.

      Once again, nice job so far. You have a defination 'gnome face' start. :D

      Goodluck on completetion!
       
    17. Thank you all for the sweet comments ^^
      Oh may an tauren sounds interesting. :D Maybe for my next project ;)

      Well, the progress is getting very slow. Not surprised with the holydays.
      Body and head are cooked (lol), but they still need some work on it. I made some small changes on the head and the body has more details.

      Here are the pics.

      Compared with a Juri 2006 head, which will be the gnome's Succubus.
      The eyes looks very sunken, that because the eyesockets aren't deep enough.

      With wig, her ears are totaly in the way. :lol:

      Inside of her head and a shot with her cute nose :aheartbea

      [​IMG]

      Lower body and one leg.
      [​IMG]

      The feet with yes, four toes. No kidding but Blizzard gave the gnomes four toes and fingers. I found it very funny, so I keep them that way.
      [​IMG]

      I'm learning a lot each step and I'm glad it is finaly going the right way ^^
       
    18. she's looking magnificent... what medium are you using..?
       
    19. Thank you ^^
      I'm using Super Sculpey Firm. It's a polymer clay, which needs to be baked (or cooked)
       
    20. now, that is just fantastic. I cannot wait to see her finished! It's good to see unique things like this. Keep up the great work! :D
       
    21. *raises eyebrow* our toes, intresting (like really, really cool actually.) Please, please make a guy gnome that'd be sooooooo awsome :}
       
    22. I love the side on pic of her head she has a really nice profile.
       
    23. ooh im so glad youre keeping the same number of toes! good job! and really, think about a tauren! it would have to be huge, like 70 or 80 cm but it would rock (and id pay huge money for one, personally)
       
    24. Thank you^^

      Thank you. First I wasn't sure about the toes and fingers, but I liked the four toes much more^^
      Hehe, I was thinking about a male gnome. ^^ Maybe in the far future ;)

      Thanks ^^

      Thanks^^
      A tauren would be a very very big project. :lol: But I will keep it in mind ;)



      I think tomorrow I will have some more updates.
       
    25. wow!
      firstly, i love the idea!
      and you're doing great with the scupting! ^^
      i especially love the foot, such detailed toes! (i've tried making some feet... but failed completely ^^; )
      her nose is also soooo pretty!
      can't wait to see more of the progress ^^
       
    26. Oh wow!! I am drooling over her!! Fantastic work!
      BTW for smoothing SF you can use Sculpey Diluent. :)
       
    27. Ah, I really love her face! It's very nice and subtle... and is almost dead-on based on the photo! I'm also eager to see a differently-proportioned doll. I can already see that her neck jointing is going to be different.. really anxious to see her all put together!

      And it helps that her ears are just adorable...<3 *loves big ears*
       
    28. I love your gnome! For a year at least I've wanted to make dolls of my WoW characters, but I haven't found a sculpting media I am fond of yet.
      You've given me new hope! ^_^
       
    29. :O to think id find world of warcraft players on a bjd forum!
      Ive been playing WoW for about 2 years and its great to see someone make a bjd out of them, especially such a beatuifully made one it really does look like a girl gnome!

      Im sooo looking foreward to seeing more of her :)
       
    30. I am for a guy gnome too! Very eager to see one!
       
    31. Nice job on your little gnome :) (how about a orc warrior next? :D) Have you seen WoW's new 3d model services?
       
    32. Oh! I really like how she looks! 8D Amazing detail, you should send pictures to Blizzard.
       
    33. I love it, I wish I could make my own BJDs, I'd make my troll rogue. :P Cute.
       
    34. Awhhhh she's coming along beautifully!! I cant wait to see her completed!!!
       
    35. This is too awesome... you really did make a perfect looking gnome. That said, I'm gonna have to throw in a "FOR THE HORDE!" and run away giggling.

      But seriously. You rock. And so does your girl. :)
       
    36. Ahahaha. I'm so into Wow. You did a great job sculpting your character and bringing her to life. I can't wait to see this casted.

      (*cough Horde ftw cough*)
       
    37. Oh how awesome! I'm looking forward to seeing her complete! I should get my bf one ^^
       
    38. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!! *faints with need* I HAVE to have one!!!!! please tell me you are going to cast her!? (I'll swap you one of my sculpts!! Do you like tinies...? *VERY HOPEFUL*)
       
    39. Wow this is really good, it's so much like the gnomes from the game. I totally hate gnomes in the game since they are group gankers but for once I love a gnome in this form XD! You made it so good that I actually don't dislike gnomes for a moment! I hope to see the end product and this inspires me to make a BloodElf Lock of my own ^_^
       
    40. i hope i get to see other world of warcraft races too, be cool to see a troll or a blood elf. it looks awesome too. you are very gifted
       
    41. Aww, this really made me smile. <3 Love that nose~
       
    42. sooo cute...
       
    43. Oh my gosh what a brilliant idea! I was planning on making my own Gnome Warlock as a small polymer figure to sit on my monitor. This is just amazing! She looks great so far, I really want to see this one finished!
       
    44. 0_0...Viva attempts at making WoW characters! You rock!
       
    45. Okay, first of all you get props for being a WOWnerd :P Cause WOW just rocks like that! ^_^
      Secondly, you get props for such amazing sculpting! Great, great work! Can't wait to see more of it!
       
    46. that is really cool (even though I'm a horde only kindof girl)
      it's so awesome to know that there are other wowers on the forum, the sculpting is comming along perfectly:)

      <~~p.s 70 bloodelf pally....
       
    47. Wait, it's been a few months since the last update. :o What happened with this?
       
    48. First....thank you all for the comments ^^

      I'm still working on it, don't worry ;) The project got postponed for a while, because of my other bjd projects and real-life stuff. But I got inspired again and the project is back on track. ^^

      Here a preview of the foot.

      More updates will follow soon.
       
    49. For the Horde! *cough* :)

      That is such an awesome job!!! The feet are perfect, she looks just like gnome! I can't wait to see her finished....

      I have debated making dolls into my WoW characters, but then I have female orcs and a female blood elf so it wouldn't be that hard, except orcs are so buff.
       
    50. She's so awesome!

      I had a gnome assassin when I played D&D back in the day. Good job on her! People used to tell me that gnomes couldn't be pretty! Well FIE on them, I say!

      :D
       
    51. Like I said before hand! You should totally send these pictures to Blizzard! 8D
       
    52. I've been watching this since the beginning, and I have to admit, I totally want to buy one of these! lol

      I'm a HUGE WOW nerd (been playing since WoW was in Beta, am also in WotLK beta lol) and I have several level 70s. XD

      I'd kill to own my own gnome BJD. hehehehehehe
       
    53. Zomg. She's gonna be chubby when all finished.

      I am watching with much anticipation.
       
    54. i would love to know what you are using for your form and/or armature with the super sculpey... I am brand new, no idea where to start and reading to try to find out... and i am used to super sculpey for sculpting. But everything I have read says use la doll. Thanks for any info you can give me!! Cathy
       
    55. She's super cute! I'd love too see other races as well ( A troll especially) I love her feet and I thought it was weird Blizzard only gave them 4 toes and fingers too..

      <---lvl 50 Orc Hunter
       
    56. I am so in love with her so far! Gnomes are just adorable, and yours looks perfectly scaled to go with the larger dolls as the 'taller'...ummm...species? like the sucubus, or even the humans, undead, knight/blood elves and such!
       
    57. She's so adorable!! The design is lovely, and she's coming together so nicely!! I love her little...pudgy...curvy...gah! I just love her. XD
       
    58. oh she is just so sweet :) I can't wait to see her finished she is adorable x
       
    59. I hate gnomes and kill them on sight (Horde FTW!) but this is one I'd make an exception for. :P You've done really nice work here, and the feet are just masterful.
       
    60. i hate gnomes too but this one is such a sweetie. hope to see more soon. :)

      <-- 70 nightelf rogue and many many twinks ;)
