My process of creating a BJD for the first time
I sculpted my own BJD-inspired little doll for the first time! Including sewing his outfit, I worked on the project over the course of December til March.
He's based on my artistic fan-rendition of dr. Nitrus Brio from the Crash Bandicoot video game series, and I'm planning to make a few of his colleagues as well! 😊 Here's some reference pics for context, for those who don't know the character.
Read on if you want to see the process of his creation!
(Heads-up; Contains censored doll nudity and loose body parts and all that~)
He's only 19cm tall (which is uncommon for adult-type BJDs (they'd usually be 40-70 cm, that's 1/4 or 1/3 scale)) and his technical design is a little crude/simplified compared to the beautiful mechanics of the BJDs I used to own, but I'm really happy with how he came out. It was quite the magical experience, because I haven't sculpted much before, nor have I sewn on this level of detail.
I figured the smaller scale would make him more easy to handle and less intimidating for a first project, but it made it a little difficult to work with at times as well!
My very first attempt was fun but had a lot of issues, I decided to start over before painting. The (extremely cheap) clay had shrunk massively, he was nowhere near hollow enough, he was a disproportional mess xD
And since he needs to be to scale with his friends later on, I decided it would be a valuable prototype. UvU
So all that happened during my Christmas break! From then on, I continued working on him little bits at a time. Quite surprisingly I managed to stay engaged and dedicated XD
This time I got actual doll-grade paperclay, which made so much difference. Amazing stuff. It was again very satisfying to see his shape forming. And this time he made it to the paint stage!
After drying out properly, I coated him first to set the clay, then used acrylic paint to give him his base skintone all over. The first layer, applied with a brush, was a blotchy mess. :x
Then I thought of sponge-dabbing it on instead, which worked wonderfully! I only realized while doing it, that it reminded me of how I applied my own bodypaint with a sponge for a blue-skinned cosplay 😊 Must've subconsciously gotten the inspiration from there lol
After his base coat, I could no longer resist and strung him😂💖
I realized it might get messy later on if I'd refuse to unstring and restring him for further painting/blushing and coating. But I figured it'd be good enough and I was having too much fun having him in his strung form XDD <33
It turned out okay, even after spray coating him strung. ^^
Painted his face, cleaned the paint off his bolts, glued eyelashes on 💕
And finally, gave him bodyblush for a little more life to him, love it!
Then I spent many nights sewing his lab coat, undies, pants, gloves and boots! 😊😊😊
I now consider him finished, and ready for cool shoots! All of this really made me relive my love for BJDs and all the crafting around it. Looking forward to make him some friends, but for now it's kinda nice to have time for other projects again as well 😂

Okay sat down and actually thought about how I want the pigeon BJD to move and drew out a rough sketch. It'll need some fine tuning but I just want them to be able to sit with their little legs out so as much as ORB BODY was cute, I don't think it will work well with the legs.
(For those curious, I posted this originally over on IG and forgot to put it up here too)

What if I just carved myself out a little niche of making object heads for BJDs?
Haven't printed this one yet, probably won't until after Resin Rose, it depends on how quickly I can get my printer to stop throwing a fit...

HE'S HERE *screaming forever*
More Unboxing stuff and my plans under the cut
PS If anyone would like to be on a tag list for my mans, please let me know! Also, Ask me Anything! (About dolls and other stuff)
Dream Valley Cayes from Alice's Collections (an amazing BJD agent!)
I can't do anything yet with him since I am leaving for an extended trip later this week BUT HE SO BEAUTIFUL! I got two heads, a skin-colored head and a white head so I can do Moustache/Sideburns Popia head.
He has longer limbs than normal MSD so the initial clothes I got for him don't fit super well. Guess I have to make some more thorough patterns for him!
I am going to be using my other body as a model for the clothes since I will be doing a full body blush on this guy. Tattoos, hair, scars, everything--- I really enjoy the challenge of making a doll as realistic as possible. (In many ways)
I am getting his wig made by a wig maker because tbh I really dislike making wigs and short hair wigs are really difficult to make. So this guy got the special treatment.
Dream Valley takes a super long time to get to you but I am really impressed by their wrapping and extras.
Unboxing Pics Below!

The body needs clothes it's s a fact. So here's the fist stage - the mummy. The plan is to make raglan turtleneck. I'm not that skillful in patterns, so it will be quite challenging. Especially next step - sleeves. 😖 Plus I don't have sewing machine and it brings this challenge to absolutely another level. So wish me luck! 🤞
A question ⁉️
Would you be interested in pattern if it turns out OK?

Bubblegum's face has been printed !! I test fit some eyes but they're too thick AND too wide so I'm gonna have to find some different cabochons to use, oh well
But for now, I'm happy that he can look at me ;w;

Did some more work on DeeJay and Static. Not sure I'll have time to get any prints done in time for Resin Rose. It depends on how A. How much of the colors I have for them I want and B. How well the test prints come out.
