Hello \^o^/ I wanted to share pics of a head that i started a week ago ^____^ I´m using Ladoll paperclay. Tliyel is a character of my wishlist that I changed her headmold a thousand times (in my signature she appears as a Anais UxD) but there wasn´t a doll who suits her perfectly. Finally i thought that it was the chance to start to sculpt a head with my own hands, that is a thing that i wanted to do since I know BJDs ^.^ She would look like this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v446/gali_miau/cabecita_project/Imagen024.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v446/gali_miau/cabecita_project/Imagen023.jpg And here are pics of her now. Im going to open her head soon,and carve the eyes ^.^ More pics here.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v446/gali_miau/cabecita_project/Imagen006.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v446/gali_miau/cabecita_project/Imagen003.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v446/gali_miau/cabecita_project/Imagen022.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v446/gali_miau/cabecita_project/Imagen021.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v446/gali_miau/cabecita_project/Imagen020.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v446/gali_miau/cabecita_project/Imagen028.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v446/gali_miau/cabecita_project/Imagen027.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v446/gali_miau/cabecita_project/Imagen026.jpg I painted her an eye to see how it looks. I´m not very happy with her profile, i think her nose look weird in the sides, and needs so much work in cheeks and mouth bones. Her lips needs to be retouched too... but well, its better to work slowly on her ^^ --------------------------------- I have a question. Someone knows if "Mr White Surfacer" its a Spray Putty or only a coating spray paint? Here sais that its a spray putty http://noxiv.cool.ne.jp/dreamscreator/BJD/Otino01record/eng.html But in hobby link japan they says that is a spray paint o.o http://www.hlj.com/product/GNZB-511 --------------------------------------- Edit : Here it is the link of my photobucket album, where I put all the pics http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v446/gali_miau/cabecita_project/
How cute! She makes me think slightly of unoas. X3 Personally, I can't find anything wrong with her profile, I love her lips, and so far, I think you're doing a great job. ^_^
Excellent job so far! I'll be watching her progress with interest. And your draftsmanship is very fine, by the way. *edit* Regarding the Mr. Surfacer question you have in your signature: Mr. Surfacer is a brush on or spray on coating with a grit in it. It comes in 500, 1000 or 1200 grit. It's used to coat over pinholes and inconsistencies for a smooth, even surface. The surfacer is sanded with waterproof sand paper, and the finer grit allows a more perfect surface, from what I understand. I've never used it myself.
Thanks to all Thanks for the info,St. James¡ I think i will buy a can,it would be very useful with Ladoll clay, its very difficoult to smooth it perfectly,even sanding it with waterproof sandpaper. Today I took some pics of the head to show the changes ^^ Now i´m more happy with the shape of her nose,and i sanded her chin a lot. Here it is with Absinthe,my Aya head.You can see that her head is small. (But Aya head is very huge,too...) Here with Vassili, my Yukinojo *^^* They´re supposed to will be couple so I have to sculpt her very well UUUUUx"DD
Oh, she looks great! I think she looks very good with Vassili so far, too. (Size- & shape-wise.) Keep up the good work!
She's looking lovely, I really like her lips, and the nose is so cute it's to die for! She looks very good with Yukinojo too which is so nice!
she's drop dead gorgious, and with that white wig its just...*drool* i just can't wait to see her with a faceup and on a body!!
Thanks for all the kind comments *^_^* Yesterday I opened her head,and carve inside the eyeholes and all. I have some kind of trouble retouching her mouth T_T now its not very nice,i hope to re-sculpt it soon v.vU Well,here are pics of her with real eyes: These are Souldoll 14mm (dont know the exact type of color) With Tallina´s 16mm brown.I dont like these on her. I think that 16mm are too much big for her. What do you think? All type of criticism will be well received,i would like her to turn as perfect as posible >.< (i think my english is turning more bad every second UXD)
The 14 mm do look much better (and I am quite partial to the color..) That head is gorgeous! How long have you been working on this? I want to sculpt a head myself...any advice on materials to use and how to begin? (as you can tell, I'm fairly new to this..) I can't wait to see more pics! :3
*edits* Sorry my PC screwed up and I made a double post. Those 14mm eyes I think are the best, I love that colour!
Thanks¡ ^.^ I´m using Ladoll paperclay,you can buy some at www.pupapa.com But I´m a newbie at this too,and so much things I learned was reading this forum ^__^ You can find very useful tutorials and tricks¡ ----------------------- Well,today I retouched her eyeshape a little and i gave another try to 16mm eyes,now with a pair of HG light Violet. I think that finally 16mm its her true eyesize. I retouched her lips too,but i´m not satisfied yet ¬_¬U I made her a "display" torso¡ UxD¡¡ It was so sad to see her bodyless and alone in the working table >,< Hair pics¡ I think that her face is so flat,mask looking, and i have to do something with it. The eyes dont fill the eyehole,you can see it at the sides of the eye,and thats becouse they arent as "round" as they need to be..... I dont know if i explain it fine,my english is very bad >_<U I´m thinking too to "open" a little her mouth =3 (And i´m thinking that I update so much UXD)
I find that all blank dollfie heads look flat and mask-like though when unpainted. I think painting it up a little, even in Photoshop is you don't want to paint the actual thing with make you think differently on her head. I still think it's lovely~
I totally agree. Once you get her painted up, she'll look much better (and thanks for answering my questions btw..) Still not a bad sculpt for a first try! I only hope I'll do half as well.
oh she is so lovely.... I think she looks soft and gentle. I'm really looking forward to seeing where you take her. awesome!
Well,finally I retouched her lips *^^* The mouth is still unfinished (the left side needs work) but i´m in love with how she looks now. I added more clay to her cheeks and now she´s a round face,very childlike XD I hope to buy soon mr white surfacer to start polishing her,when i finish the work in lips and cheeks ^___^ I´m very impatient becouse i´m near to finish her,she looks cute now,at least for me¡ I think that she´s like a mix between Sist and Lusis. I´m a great fan of Araki´s works,and it influences me a lot. And my drawing style is very round faces,with cute round noses and full lips (you can see at my deviant art gallery,i have drawings of Tliyel character¡) Here are the pics¡ The album---> http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v446/gali_miau/cabecita_project/ I can´t wait to see her casted in resin >.<
A display torso, eh? Hmm, now that's an idea... I'm waiting for my book to come in, before I continue sculpting on my current doll...I should probably stop putzing around and put pictures up, eh...?
She looks absolutley stunning! I know what you mean about being impatient with finishing up a head; I'm getting impatient with mine! teehee.
OMG! what a gorgeous sculpt. I can see you influences in her, but she is diffenatly one of a kind. YOu will keep me waiting for more updates to see her progress.
I was working on her but I haven´t a camera for showing her progress.... but my parents give me one for Christmas yesterday and now I can¡¡ I started her body ^^ Sorry about the dark pics, I took them at night. I will take better pics with natural daylight. She will be 53cm of height aprox. I need to round her more...I want her curvy but athletic.Her breast will be smaller too. Her round belly X") This is how she looks on her body. Comparison pics: She will be slighty smaller than CP girl body¡¡¡ I need to fix it >_< The head on a CP girl mature body: And bonus pic of her lips ^^3 So well, I need to fix some things I do not like much, like her hips. They will be round and big,but I dont like so much them now. Her waist will be very small like now, but her breasts and tórax need to be more smaller
I LOVE how this girl is coming out. If you're considering offering them for sale, please put me on your wait list right now!
Her lips are just so.....Pretty. :3 I'm sure I could nave said something a lot more constructive, but It's monday night. I need SLEEEEEEEEP. ****Pretty dolls make me happy.
oh man this is incredible! *geeks out* you're so friggin talented ^^ She's turning out beautifully *continues geeking out* she's one of my favs
Her face is so angelic. I absolutely love her and I just can't believe your talent. I'm sure she is going to be drop-dead gorgeous when you complete her. Estupendo!
Ohh,thank you all....well,I will try to reply,sorry for my poor english.... cheshiretiffy: Thank you very much¡¡ *^^* I hope to finish her soon >o<U Kiyakotari: Woah,thank you¡ I don´t know yet if I will sell some Tliyels.....it depends of how she looks at the end,in resin, I´d never casted anything >.<U Ri-Ri: Her lips are one of the things I like the most Thanks¡ lolipop: Thank you¡ I hope so. illyrimur: THANKYOU *^^* maggot: I worked very hard on the lips¡ I´m glad you like it,thanks¡ smile_again: ^0^ Thank you very much¡ SweetClaudia: Gracias¡¡¡ x""DDD I hope you´ll be right,and I hope to see her finished soon too.....@_@ More pics on next reply post ^^
More detailed photos of her head. Ladoll clay has a "interesting" surface....UXD I sanded it but as you can see, it leaves some fibers. Her nose is a little bit huge now¡ Oo I need to slim it a bit¡¡ She has teeth¡¡ *^^* Ears are so difficoult to sculpt >_< In some angles she reminds me Anais¡¡ Now I have the things I need to finish and polish,finish it to let it ready to cast her head. But I need to correct some details I dont like yet. -------------------------------------------------- She looks good on a CP Body. I would like to try her in other bodies but I can´t by now¡ ^^U She can move so well her head on the neck¡¡ *^^*
Really great jo on your first doll head Gali_miau! Way better than my first, or even my 10th~>< She is gonna be beautiful.
what a cute face. did you sanded it with very fine sandpaper? for my dolls head I used 5 different kinds of sandpaper and had no fibers.
you can use Mr. White Surfacer 1000 Spray or Bottle or both and use several types of sandpaper going from tough grade to fine grade for smoothness
That's amazing!! What a wonderful face she has... and on the body with the wig? fabulous. I wonder... in the picture you have where you're showing her teeth, it looks as though one side of her upper lip is bigger than the other. Is that really the case, or am I seeing a lighting artifact? At any rate, she's wonderful.
gah that's gorgious! and it stands up to the tension so well ^^ don't shrink her nose...i like it like that i think Dude has a crush XD
I must agree, her nose is one of my favorite aspects of her. (And her lips of course ) She would be beautiful in either case I'm sure. You did a spectacular job, I can't wait to see her with a faceup.
what a cutie!! I especially love the shot of her on the bed, she looks incredibly sweet, almost Soony-ish! n_n I'd really like to see her cast and with a faceup, I think she looks wonderful so far!!
Jean: Thanks¡¡ I´m working a lot on her,very slowly, to do the best i can smile_again: It was hard to find very fine sandpaper on my city¡¡ But now i´m polishing her and it goes well ¡¡ Baakay: She has some imperfections, and her lips aren´t symmetric >_<U I´m trying to correct that. I´m not satisfied with the shape of her right eye,too,its different than right eye =_=U I don´t know if I would correct it at all or correct a little and hope that makeup would solve this. There are so much headmolds at the market that aren´t symmetric at all :/ illyrimur: Thanks¡¡ *^^* I keep the nose XD SweetClaudia: I hope to finish her soon¡¡ I can´t wait to see her with makeup too xD Yumedust: Thanks¡ *^^* Azazel1981: LOL angelina jolie x"DDDDDD Here people say that she looks like Shakira, but I think that this is becouse she will have light long and curly hair and dark eyes x) Lynsey: Wow,I didn´t realize that she looks a little like Soony...well,the nose and lips Sorry about my bad english UXD Now I´m polishing the head I think she will be finished in about a month or two? I hope so,but this is more hard than I expected XD Here she has putty on her nose ^^U Now that is sanded Mr White Surface is wonderful ;_;
Yay, she's now officially amazing!!! i wish i had half your talent... Tliyel looks so good on that body!
So you used putty first, then sanded. Then you used Mr. White Surface and sanded? My own little project is impossible to smooth. :'<
