#bjd cat anthro

[izasfaceups]

Today's faceup is on a Pipos R.PI Charlotte in grey akin, along with a manicure and tail blush. She was a fun commission to work on, as I've always wanted to work on a Pipos doll!

I have a before and after of her, the previous faceup was done by the owner, but they wanted a more experienced hand for her fresh faceup. I was happy to oblige!

Ok, I realized that I absolutely need a doll of a certain anthro cat named Mordecai Heller (from Lackadaisy, a webcomic/animated short). However, the anthro cat photo thread on DoA is full of broken images and old sculpts that are impossible to find anymore. Does anyone have sculpt recommendations that are more accessible, or know of a more recent or even just comprehensive list of cat anthros? I know pip0s pang might work for a chibi version but I really want a tall elegant doll in 1/3 or 1/4 scale. I'd likely be dyeing, so hybrids are not a problem. Please, I love this character and need to bring him home.

Hol-y SHIT. I know I just asked about anthro cat dolls but I should have Googled "anthro cat bjd" *before* making a post because pip0s raven is near PERFECT. Shame he's probably impossible to get now. I'll keep an eye out but if anyone still has anthro cat sculpt recommendations I'd still be happy to see them! I suppose I can use Raven as a reference for what I'm looking for if I can't find that particular sculpt. But DAMN, that is a good looking sculpt and near exactly what I was looking for. And I said no more new dolls...

Heya! You seem like the main authority on bjd I know of, so I figured you might be the person to ask...

Does anyone in the community have any good resources for making/sculpting your own doll? I've had a specific dragon in my mind for years now, but (dragons not being popular for some reason and the main makers having all but vanished), there aren't many places to look. None of the offered models were quite what I wanted, either—mine wasn't a feral dragon, quite, but not as on the humanoid side as most dragon anthros are. So I figured I'd try making one, though I have little idea where to start on that. I know a bit of 3d modeling, but not actual sculpting with my hands, so is casting off a good printed model a thing? Are there any resources for what kind of joints would be needed, especially when working with a non-human doll like a dragon tail or wings? She's been a beloved oc for years now, so I wanted her doll to BE her and not a repaint of anything else, but usually my work sticks to digital media so I'm a little lost porting her to a physical object, lol

Anyway, hope you have an awesome day! Your collection of dolls is gorgeous and I love the work you've done on the customs you've shared here

Hey there! these are a lot of questions, lets see where to start... First off - don't (ever) let the hobby intimidate you into not doing what you want to do. Making your own doll is a huge task with a steep learning curve, especially when it comes to joints. As for resources in general, I unfortunately don't have any links at hand. There's the BJD Sculptors group on facebook, and I know that there are a few videos on youtube from doll people on how to make joints in blender and similar programs.

Casting from a 3D print is a thing, yes! You'll have to print, sand and prime the doll beforehand though, or go through a caster who does that for you (like FantasyDoll!). If you plan to make the doll only for yourself though, I wouldn't bother with casting; 3D printed dolls are a thing, as Frapzilla proved (or Eve the cat studio, or Elleodolls..).

There is no 'you need this joint' guide on 4-(or more) legged dolls. Most, if not all joints are basically a sphere in a concave space; it really depends on the design and the kind of movement you want that determines the final shape. Maybe take a look at Dreamvalleys Dragons?

I absolutely recommend sketching out the full doll first to get a feel for proportions before diving into sculpting/jointing. Otherwise you'll have to adjust things later on, and while that's not that annoying in 3D, it's an absolute pain with real sculpting... speaking from experience here x.x I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any more questions :)

Here we have a Luts Kid Delf Corni in real skin white. I was given a lot of freedom with this girl, and had a lot of fun painting her. She is lightly modded, the gap above her lower lip was filled in by me by the request of the client.

She'd come with her default faceup, which I wiped for the client.

She's one of the rare dolls I got sent an owner picture of!

hate all the non-dollkin stuff in the dollkin tag... its like they dont listen to us when we say "hey this isnt dollkin dont tag your stuff as such." i swear, do they even look into what theyre tagging? i just dont understand.. also with dollkin stuff that Is there... i dont know, none of it fits me. i feel like i have to fit into this certain label or look that is dollkin (porcelain dolls, lolita fashion, pastel clothing, overall a soft look to it). like yeah, im a bjd, but im just that! a bjd! i dont wear frilly dresses i wear pants. i dont wear makeup. i dont look 'soft' i look like ive been at a rave for 3 days straight. my body just so happens to be a bjd. i also dont feel like i need to be taken care of, played with, etc etc... im just . a doll. needing to be held by a doll stand. nothing else, thats it. i think also why i dont 'fit in' with dollkin is because im an anthro cat bjd, with felt (theres a specific material but i forgot the name of), fake fur, no hair style, resin eyes, etc. its very specific, so when i see other dollkin i feel alienated. you dont think of me when you hear dollkin,.. so i try to get into their 'look' but it just doesnt work. because its not me. absolutely no hate to any dollkin who are like what i just described, i love you all!!! /gen. i too love trad. bjd's and lolita fashion! but its just not me, you know? what im wishing for is just for more variety, more representation of myself.
