I didn't expect to like these in her. The downside of modeling eyes in your own dolls. Wanting to keep them.

and now for something completely different.

this one is two old projects mashed together. i originally made the ruby pool bust stand a few years ago for a different head, and this head was supposed to be a part of a 1/3 doll of my oc. neither project ended up happening, but that is actually good; these pieces work much better together. this project predates me learning to sculpt digitally, so for now, it's a complete one of a kind, made of worbla, air-dry clay and some sticks. i would love to digitize the head & do something more with it, though.

HAPPY OZ DAY!!!

I managed to finish, somehow

I don't know how many goddamn hours I spent on this BJD, but it was all worth it because OZ.

So here is a mini breakdown of how I created the BJD eye cups.

First off, you’re going to need some sort of backing to round out the eyeball. I split wooden beads apart and glued them to the backs. This is going to help the eyeball rotate.

Now you are going to need some half spheres. They need to be larger than your eyeball so the can move freely once padding is added. I made these with hot glue and two metal measuring spoons, one inside the other. This created the mold for the sphere. Have ice water handy because a quick cool down makes it easier to peel the glue out. They don’t have to be perfect, you can always trim if need be.

Fluff time. I gently tugged apart a cotton makeup wipe to create the pillow we need. How much you’re going to need will vary and you will need to experiment with how much is going to work for the eyeball. Lots of trial and error here. You want to set it in the half-spheres lightly, do not pack it in.

Position your eyeball. This is also trial and error. You want it center with enough room to move. You will have to put the cup on and experiment. Have a toothpick like object and a little bit of tac to do a trial run on the eyeballs movement. Add/remove fluff as needed. You want a semi-firm cushion but not so much to hinder movement. You may need to adjust position of the cup to either side as well for optimal movement.

I very much recommend Faber-Castell blue tac it. It doesn’t leave marks on the pupils as you move the eye around.

Mnnn

Did you find a prime position? Glue the cap in. I know magnets are usually used, but I’m being cheap here. A couple spots of hot glue holds the cup in and is easily pulled out for change and repositioning. Just trim off the excess glue and start again.

Some heads may be more difficult to place the cups side by side. You will have to use your best judgement to trim and move as necessary. For a couple I had to trim some of the side of the cup off because of the angle.

Got them both in? Great! Replace the head and admire your work.

Side note: I did notice some eyewells were deeper than others (looking at you Dante) I did have to do a little bit of pre padding carefully around the eyeball before placing the cap, just to help keep the eye in position. Be sure to check often to make sure there is no stray fluff peeking around the eye.

This was a quick and dirty explanation of how I did this. It isn’t pretty, but it works. Now the dolls have more expression than ever from sultry, to suspicious, to downright deviant.

Feel free to use or make improvements upon this concept. It’s meant to be a cheap and easy project.

Just had to go on an adventure to find my package (thanks usps for not even attempting to deliver it and sending me to the wrong post office to get it 😑) but it had my Jill Jelly! She's sooooo cute, I'm shocked that there aren't more owner photos of her initial release! It was kind of a pain in the butt to get her headcap off since it's glued, but once I got it off, it was super easy to change her eyes and put the headcap back on (no extra tape/adhesive required!)

I got her from Kinoko Juice's etsy so I could get these eyes as well, and they were super nice and helpful with answering my questions. They even sent an extra pair of eyes as a freebie! I hope Shizuku gets a non-resin Azone version as well at some point, it's great to see the sculpts becoming more accessible and mainstream AND seeing their cute little Azone outfit themes.

My hands are big dumb so I haven't taken photos or listed these for sale yet, but I like looking at the forbidden candy.

Yes thats right Mizu's head is all done! All it took was a few layers of watercolor pencil and chalk pastel (+ MSC) but she's so stunning n I can't believe I managed to capture her likeness in real life!

Hello please do not skip

We in Gaza live what no one else on earth lives. We live death, we live hunger, we live systematic killing against us and the whole world is watching. We have become absolutely certain that if we do not find someone to help us escape this ongoing killing against us, then we will be among those killed at any moment. Please help us. We are still fleeing from death to death. Please help us.
