Ball Jointed Doll - Blog Posts

went to a shop today and

IS THAT A MIKOTO REFERENCE?!?!?!

(no joke I would've loved to buy this but I'm too broke. my posing references and anatomy problems in my art would be solved; my dreams of making a custom ball jointed doll💔)

BUT LOOK

easily the best doll ever created hands down

Baby, the stars shine bright x Dollfie collab 🍓

First semi-finished doll. Hooray. Was a learning curve.

Now i just gotta make her a wig and some clothes...

I’m so sorry for the lack of updates 😣 my son recently gave up nap time and then he came down with a cold so he hasn’t been sleeping well at night either. Progress is going at a crawling pace but slow and steady wins the race 😊

I've just been covering the armature slowly while working on her head, when time allows.

Some quick work on the mouth :)

Worked on her lips tonight. The bottom lip needs more work but I have to let it dry for a bit before continuing.

Worked on her cheeks, chin and lower lip. Only had a little time tonight but I’m glad I made some progress. Slowly working toward symmetry :) Picture is a before (left) and after (right) of my progress.

Just a few more of her from different angles.

I shaved down the upper lip completely and plan to build it up again. Just fine tuning the facial symmetry. The eyes are off but only by 1 mm in certain parts. I will fix that!

Just trying to even things out. Make sure the eyes are at the same depth, checking nostrils and the way the philtrum and septum meet up. Her skull/forehead will obviously be larger, I'm just focusing on her face at the moment.

I really began to like her features here but so much was off center, I had no choice but to shave parts down. By the way, I don't have sandpaper, so all sanding and shaving is done with a blade, haha. I do plan to get some eventually.

After many hours of fiddling around, she began to look more human and less alien.

My old camera was really messed up so I apologize for the quality of some of these photos. They improve with time as I eventually replaced my phone.

waiting for my yarn to arrive so i can make hair

Head: YMY blank head (normal white)

Body: 1/12 UFdoll (vanilla)

I don’t know what it is about these type of dolls that just gives me joy...

If someone gifts me one of these I’d pass out from happiness...
