Kirai Sol - in resin

This is the first doll I made in early 2014, and now, thanks to the wonderful Dust of Dolls and their help, it's finally cast in resin! I'm pretty pleased by how it turned out, especially for such an old work of mine. I am going to make some changes to the head and maybe have a small series of those cast for sale.

More pictures and poses under the cut:

2016 it is!

Well it has been a while. I have had one busy year with a lot of drawing, modeling and sculpting but very little concern about dolls. I am slowly getting back into this hobby and I hope to get productive again very soon! I've been working on customization and face-ups again, updating the prototypes of my own dolls and also working on a new doll sculpt...

See you soon for more updates~

Hello, 2015!

Well, let's have with some doll pictures, shall we?  A part of my collection, to start this year with:

6 dolls out of my whole 10

And what I did last year, to summ-up 2014:

As well as the BJD of my own making:

Little resin monster - Done~

Well it's been a while! But I'm not back empty-handed, for I have finally finished the chi!Berserker doll. Here are some shots of a test cast:

I hope you like it, the chi!Berserker is going to be for sale sometime in 2015 ^^

cheers~

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 ^^'

chi!Berserker

Hello blogger~
I haven't been posting for a while for two reasons: I'm not much into BJD's for the moment, so not many pictures to post, and at the same time I've been very busy with sculpting dolls. I've finished the Kirai Solan master-model, it needs new hands and I could consider casting a couple of those in resin. At first I wasn't too satisfied with the final result of this doll but all things considered, I gotta give it a chance. But right now I'm working on my next bjd: a 20cm chibi based on an original character of mine, the Berserker. It's very bubble-headed since I wanted its proportions to be half way between nendoroid and yo-SD. It's 80% done and unpolished, here's a little preview:

Stay tuned for further updates!

These must be my favorite pictures so far.

Still in progress ~ 90%

You know when you work very hard on something for like two months and then you can't even get one decent picture of it?

 

Broken robot, flowerhead

I didn' post the pictures of what this head has become either ^^"

Solan, the broken robot whom Réi has found on the Edge of Koross. He's split onto pieces and scattered aroud the place, but he still works. He actually is quite a nice, friendly fellow and likes to have long talks with visitors about anything at all. Réi would very much like to find spare parts and fix him, maybe someday he can be whole again?

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 :)

Ldoll anyone?

Ldoll, comment ça c'est bientôt?
Et là, tout d'un coup, je réalise que le Ldoll c'est bien dans 2 semaines... J'ai hâte, mais carrément hâte, et en même temps je ne l'ai pas vu venir!
J'y serais bien sur, cette année encore, pour baver sur vos dolls, dévaliser vos stands et venir discuter de tout et de rien. La question fatidique - qui est-ce que j'amène cette fois? Je n'ai pas vraiment "renouvelé" ma "collection", il n'y aura pas de surprise. J'avais amené Vice et Ezekiel l'année dernière, ce serait logique que Réi y ait droit cette fois-ci, mais en même temps ce n'est peut être pas très intéressant non plus. J'amène Snej pour le concours bien sur, mais elle sera posée dans un coin, je ne l'aurais pas sur moi...

En tout cas je me réjouis!

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:

Snejinka

Snejinka, Snej for short stands for Snowflake in russian. It's a Dust of Dolls Lünn - she's tiny, delicate, cute and very curvy^^ And I should be taking more pictures of her sometime.

 

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!
