Posing

The chibi is polished and about 90% done. I'm really getting there! In the meantime I tried some posing:

And he can touch his toes! But needs magnets to hold the face-plate ^^'

Update on Sculpting progress

I'm so sorry for not updating for ages >< I've been sculpting a lot, working on older and new projects, and I have too many of them going on.

Here's a little update, the Cleric and Hunter faceplates are doing well, they still need more sanding though. The Berserk faceplate of which I don't have any recent pictures gets its coating. 

And I've been mostly concentrated on a 30cm doll, Kirai Solan which is fairly new. The 30cm Kirai body is that of a robot with cartoonish shapes, very stylized anatomy and cute proportions. Solan faceplate should not be the only one for this doll, but I won't be working on any other ones for the moment. Not until I have all of it done ^^"

I'll try to get more pictures next week :)

Bloom...

 My "last" doll that happens to be a floating face of a Dollchateau Stacy, work in progress:

I've cut the face out of the head, so it's not for use on a body anymore, but I do plan no body for that doll.

And that's what the hole on the front is meant for:

And another one

Another BJD sculpt in progress, the third one that I call "The Cleric".
It's a sharp narrow and rather unhappy face.

I always start sculpting my faceplates with a something that looks very much like a mast from "Borderlands" or an alien face. I think I'll be sculpting an alien head sometime later one too :)

And one week later here's what I've got:

 Sorry for bad quelity pictures, but here's some more shots:

More sculpting in progress

New BJD faceplate sculpt! 

The Berserk sculpting process: face

I have been doing some BJD sculpting lately, determined at last to get this project going and  done.

And man that's one hella time-consuming activity. There is much to do and I don't think I'll be able to finish the prototype this summer.

The faceplate though is almost ready to be cast in resin:

The head is 7-7.5 inches. Eyes should be 12mm with a smaller iris, or oval 10mm.

The doll should be around ~55cm tall. 

Something raw

Well I've started working on this project after all. I'm having a go at the face first, I hope I'll start the body soon as well - I'm not yet sure what technique I could use in order to make hollow curvy and thin body parts. The face is still very raw, and I have no ided how much time is it going to take in order to have it done.

The face is rather special as you can see, it's male, angular, and a bit cartoon. In fact I really tried to stick to this very particular character of mine:

I have to say that it really looks tiny to me, I wish I would have worked on a bigger format - but I wanted to keep the doll MSD-sized and humanly-proportionate with a small head. But I definetly want to have a SD mold sculpted sometime. But for the moment, I want to keep this going...
