Willow - Imp in progress

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to share with you all my newest little one in progress (not as little as usual though lol). Finally I am working on the larger dolls I have been hoping to create for many years. I haven't had a lot of time to work on her so she has been slow progress, but she is nearing completion and almost ready for a test cast so I very happy to finally introduce you to Willow.

She was inspired by some sketchs I drew quite some time ago Hope you like her.

I will try to post some more work in progress pics here as things move forward as well as in my artist thread.

Oh, and I am still working on the tiny ones I was posting about before but they are on hold until Willow is complete



Shown here with Scratch the Cat for size comparison.





Here's one of her concept sketches (rough, but hopefully gives you an idea of my vision):


Update 2-25-12:
I finished casting a test cast of her and although there are some fine tuning issues I want to fix, I couldn't resist giving her a faceup to see her personality better
I almost have her ready to send to the factory for a quote on casting costs. Since she is a larger size and more parts than my previous dolls, I am not sure of what they are going to charge me :/ I will post more pics when I have worked out the little adjustments and have some clothes for her lol I may make other face plates as well.

Just measured Willow and she is approx. 30cm tall

 

I updated the main post with pics of the test cast with a faceup. Here's one of the pics (more in the main post):
