Dye, doll, dye

I did a dyeing thing - a white Resinsoul centaur (Dawn) and different vinyl shell parts of an Obitsu 50 cm body (whitey and super whitey).

What I used:

A big shiny pot. Life pro tip - if you have an induction cooktop, check your crappy pot that you ordered from Amazon right away. Amazon sellers are liars.

Lots of towels (water everywhere). Dye (RIT DyeMore is what I used, because it's specifically for synthetics), isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and a melamine sponge (Magic Eraser) for oopsies, and weed whacker trimmer string for the parts. Plus coffee.

Strung doll parts. NOTE: before I dye resin or vinyl, I soak it in cold water for 10-15 minutes. Resin is porous. Water will help open the pores for a slightly more even dye distribution.

So one thing I see over and over that drives me CRAZY is people dumping the whole bottle of dye directly into the water.

RIT has recipes. Here's the recipe for Fallen Star using "small" items:

It doesn't matter which small item you pick - the recipe is the same. For a more intense color, increase the amount of dye (Fallen Star is 2 teaspoons of Royal Purple, 1/2 teaspoon Frost Grey, 1/2 teaspoon Sapphire Blue per 4 cups of water). If you dump in the whole bottle, 1) you're wasting dye, and 2) you're not going to get the color that the dye is supposed to produce.

Dye measured - and then I measure one more batch in a separate cup. As stuff goes in the water, dye is absorbed and removed from the water - so you gotta add a little back. Like, an eyedropper at a time, a little.

I set the water to be just under a boil - no bubbling, but still painful when you accidentally stick a finger in there. It's soapy because RIT recommends adding a tiny bit of dish soap and a little salt to the dye bath to help disperse the color evenly.

Dunk:

The resin parts got 3 minutes each. The vinyl parts got 6 minutes.

Horse butt magnet came unglued, and there's something on the butt that prevented it from absorbing dye. I don't know what it is. I'll have to color correct with pastels. Also: the horse body was cast in two parts that were glued together, and the seams sanded. This became immediately apparent post-dye.

The floating blobs top left are vinyl thigh parts after 3 minutes in the dye bath. The darker blue human parts of vinyl parts after a six minute bath.

A few more things: whatever that butt glue was, it liquified in the pot and stuck to stuff. I am not happy about this.

Because parts are thinner in some places and thicker in others, when I pulled a part out of the bath, I would run it under cool water. Then I grabbed my melamine sponge and scrubbed areas where the dye was darker or absorbed funny. Isopropyl alcohol can also help remove some of the dye.

The dye continued to process, even after I rinsed all the parts. When I woke up the next morning, everything was an even more intense blue - especially the vinyl.

My self-imposed max time for resin in a hot water dye bath is 3 minutes. 2-part epoxy resin reacts quickly and hardens to equilibrium - NOT completion. When resin parts are put into almost-boiling hot water, the reaction is reactivated. The resin parts will shrink. I read on a resin manufacturer's website that after 20 minutes, the resin will become extremely brittle and fragile. From past experience, I know that 3 minutes in hot water is enough to make a resin part shrink.

Since the resin parts were dyed for 3 minutes each, this means I will NOT be attempting a gradation with dye. I'll use pastels instead.

But vinyl, however - vinyl can take some heat. Heh heh heh.

Next up: purple!

Resinsoul customized shorter lower torso arrived!!! Their mod is flawless. The top edge is exactly like the standard one and I cannot see any mod or cut line. Whatever method they used to make the change, they finished it professionally.

Ok so the proportions! Are fantastic! They cut so exactly right, the bellybutton area is unmarred. They must have done a lot of work reshaping the waist curves too.

The smaller SD girl arms also make a huge difference. I totally forgot they are single jointed, which is a bummer, but Ratleigh has such a long face she can still touch it so 😅

I'm very very happy with this custom work from Resinsoul, and with the hybrid now for Ratleigh. The changes are even quite noticeable when she's wearing clothes over everything. She fits in much much better with my other anthros on Zaoll bodies, which is important to me.

The stark white of brand new Resinsoul resin is always a shock 😅 Like I knew it wouldn't match but it's even starker than I thought even though I've literally done this before and knew it would be drastic lol

It will mellow pretty quickly and match better, within the year I'm guessing.

[izasfaceups]

Guys and gals, and nonbinary pals, I did it! I reached 600 completed faceups since I started this insane journey back in 2011.

To commemorate this huge milestone, I of course repainted my Resinsoul Ai in normal skin (though back when I bought her in 2011 this resin color was called "fleshtone") as I repaint her every 99 faceups to always be the 100th since the last time.

Here's every faceup I've given her in the last 12 years (I did this current faceup in October 2023):

I really like how she turned out this time. I'm still practicing working with acrylic paints, hence why her eyebrows and lashes aren't quite as fine as last time, but overall I am happy with her. I always struggled with my white watercolor paint, so I think it'll be good for me to expand into acrylics for detailing!

One last comparison of my 1st faceup vs my 600th. I'm pretty proud of my growth as an artist in that time!

So I'm planning a Frank'n doll. She's going to have fairyland bunny legs, upper torso and arms on a resinsoul, and a Logan dolls head.

Currently I only have the bunny legs, and have the torso on order(in white) and the head I'm waiting to come up on preorder.

I decided to take my RS Yao apart to compare her torso connection to the bunny legs and get an idea of the mods I'll be doing eventually.

I think I'm going to get away with sculpting a whole separate piece to connect these two joints. It's going to make the torso a little long and therefore her arms a little short but I think I can live with it. Now just to wait to get the torso in, in jan/Feb.

[jaudolls]

Resinsoul is kind of infamous for unflattering doll official doll pictures, and I love seeing those "owner vs company" things on Instagram, so I figured it'd be fun to show my little resinsoul collection like that.

1. Yang in normal skin (honestly his 'official' pictures aren't so bad, but he really needs smaller iris than what they give him)

2. Cen in light tan (also pretty good official pictures for resinsoul, but like Yang he's a recent sculpt)

3. Daytime in dark tan (their most recent sculpt I think, and you can see they put effort in the photos. Theirs is better than mine honestly)

4. Mai in white resin, blushed by me to match a yellowed body (this is rensinsoul's only picture for the sculpt. I'm glad I went for it, but it took imagination)

5. Song in light tan (again this is the only pic on the official site, but Song is fairly popular so I had seen a bunch of owner pictures)

Airbrushed Minifee Soony on Dream Valley body WIP shots! (March/April 2022) My airbrush was exceptionally well-behaved for this one.

This DV body B4-11 was the darker event color (Coffee) from August 2021. Different people got very different colors out of that event. Mine is pretty dark, more similar to Iplehouse’s light brown than the tan shades I saw some other people receive. That’s why I took the comparison photo.

Resin comparison: Rosenlied WS, Dream Valley white, Resinsoul NS, Fairyland NS (2020), Dream Valley Yellow (2021), Fairyland Tan (~2016 and greened), Serenade Doll Tan (older, environmental resin... bought some parts from them in 2022 and they were the same color but opaque?), Dream Valley Coffee (2022), Iplehouse Light Brown

[ephemeral-darkness]

can i hear more about ur doll making??! i think it sounds very cool and would like to see it

Of course!!!! Hieronymus (the name I settled on) will be my first but I am happy to tell you about what I plan to do with him!!!

Read more for CW: doll nudity

So this is the body I have chosen for him! He is a Resinsoul Gang (61 cm or 1/3 scale) in the normal skin tone. The proof photos are in white skin tone, which is pure white by the way. (Sorry the photos are a little blurry, they're the only ones Resinsoul have.)

He has the generic face makeup on but I might change that up with some soft pastels and watercolour pencils! It was fairly cheap but it doesn't quite capture my OC. I also plan to give him a slight nose bump to make it look more aqualine! I loved his sculpt because of the larger nose (a lot of ball jointed dolls follow the anime small-featured aesthetic after all) but I plan to change the shape anyway.

For clothes, I have a set on order but I also plan to make some simple pieces with my sewing machine. I've brought him a pair of combat boots, leather trousers, boxers (unfortunately black clothing can stain paler resins), and a choker! I am thinking about getting him a hoodie or a crop top from Etsy. But yeah, I plan to make him a small patch jacket when I get better at sewing!!!

That's what he looks like by the way! That is quite old art but I will be adding more soon. (My sketchbook is at home right now) He is one of my older OCs and is the brother of Amber and Atticus. All three are kind of in seperate universes now but ignore that lmao.

But yeah! Please let me know if you have any questions about the actual doll making process, the hobby in general, or ways to get dolls legitimately! I'm happy to talk about this at any time as it has been a long term dream of mine (and hyperfixation) to make one. I've been planning this for years XD

[bjdinfo]

Can you please do a resin comparison of Myou white skin tone with Doll Family-h and other bjd companies that have jointed hands?

Companies that have yellow-toned white skins are good matches:

Angel of Dream, Chicabonita, Doll Leaves, Doll Love, Dollzone/Doll Chateau (sister companies), Mystic Kids, Souldoll, Sugarble, Xagadoll/Asleep Eidolon; Magic Time and Fairyland too, but their MSD dolls are smaller so parts may not be compatible.

Jointed hand candidates (handidates?):

Asleep Eidolon/Xaga Doll white 2021 looks fairly close to 2019 Myou white, and they offer 1/3-sized jointed hands.

Doll Leaves white is described as a good match in a comment from 2022, but the included photo link was broken unfortunately. I’ll see if I can ask the commenter to repost it!

Doll Legend jointed hands might have worked but the company seems to be defunct. ;-;

Doll Chateau’s 1/4 jointed hands fit nicely on Myou Doll’s 1/4 ver. 3 girl body. (A bit small on ver. 1 but still functional.)

—

Companies that have pink or peach toned whites that won't match so well are:

IOS, Luts, Angell Studio, Loong Soul, Doll Legend, Akagi Doll, Migidoll, Dikadoll, Angel Fantasy, Doll Family-H, Doll Family-A

*Doll Family-H white matched in 2016/2017 but is now lighter and has a pinker undertone.

and companies that have paper white skin:

Dikadoll pure white (not sure on regular white), Resinsoul, Dream Valley

Will update if I can find information on other possibilities for jointed hands. Thank you for your ask and please let me know if you have other questions.

Myou White Resin Comparisons by epicari on Den of Angels [2017]

1. Dikadoll white 2017 (not a match- is a little pinker)- Dika pure white is a pure white so also not a match when fresh, however both Dika's whites yellow so older pieces may match)

2. Mystic Kids white 2017 (very close match)

3. Myou white 2017

4. Doll Family H white 2016 (very close match, is a tiny bit lighter) *no longer a match as of 2021

Top left: Resinsoul WS 2018- not at match as much whiter, but could be blushed to match.

Bottom left: Fairyland WS 2016- a passable match

Top right: Angel of Dream WS 2018- a good match

Bottom right: Souldoll WS possibly 2016?- a close match, the Souldoll looks a touch more yellow

Above: Doll Legend 1/3 male hands in white resin are a good match and fit for 1/3 Myou male body in white resin [2017] (jointed hand on left, original Myou hand on right) /sadly I think Doll Legend company is defunct ;-;

Above: 1/4 Doll Chateau hands on Myou ver. 3 body. They fit very well and the size looks natural on this body. The hands and V3 body are white and the colour is a good match.

2020 Comparison by balljointedheart

Withdoll cream white is a potential match, may be slightly lighter.

Dollzone WS (left) and Myou WS (right) by cap’n on Den of Angels [2021]

Myou WS matches (modern) Dollzone WS perfectly. The lighting isn't great (sorry) but here's Dollzone WS (left) and Myou WS (right). They're both a sort of creamy tone.

It is NOT a match to Dream Valley white. I still have Dream Valley white and it is very stark paper white.

[quilleth]

I was going to say now that a cat isn't using my arm as a pillow i can post an unboxing for the dream valley vanora head, but freya decided to nap on me again xD (it's ok she's older--14 this month!-- and her health's not very good so she can use my arm as a pillow if she wants). i just need to type one handed i guess lol

so the reason the box felt so hefty when it arrived? is because this is what the box for the head looks like! cushioned and padded inside and that black outer is fabric! like damn this is a NICE box y'all (featuring uninterested inspector #2)

She came with a postcard print of Adria and one of Vanora, and the COA (also really nice. like wow dream valley lure me in with nice boxes and holo coa printing! unfortunately they're not releasing the body as a human body so i probably won't actually be getting more from them, but never say never!)

She also came with a nice pair of eyes that sadly, won't work for anyone I need eyes for and couldn't get a nice picture of, but they're a pretty purpley grey

My lack of spatial reasoning strikes again because i thought these ears were a LOT smaller xD I almost feel bad that i'll just be using them to test dye formulas

The Dream Valley White is a warm toned white more like a cream color as opposed to the paper white from Loongsoul (and Ringdoll and Charm Doll I hear, though I don't have any white dolls from them). I'll have to keep that in mind when I look at dye formulas.

These ears are SO cute! I don't think the 1/4 bunny girls have the same detailing on their elf ears, but the new jellyfish girl does i think. I think this could be really fun to paint for my Vanora, since she is a genasi and I usually draw her with some pink/ coral on her ears (like fishy fins without actually giving her more fin like ears)

I apparently have a thing for sculpts with slightly open smiles like this xD Idk i just think it's cute! and it matches the first dollmaker thing I made of my Vanora.

She also has a cute profile!

now I just need to figure out a body for her. Interestingly, she's listed as having an 8.6 cm neck, but when i was looking at her it seemed larger, so I thought I'd see if she could fit the 62cm Loongsoul boy body which has a 9.4 cm neck. Her head fits fine and moves ok on it, but the aesthetics don't look good to me (the neck looks too thick, and obvs it's a boy body), which is good to know and keep in mind when looking at bodies for her! Some of the 60-65 cm girls have like 9.5+ cm necks, so I'll know to avoid those ones. Also it was just generally funny xD Her head is 21.5 cm and Bai Jue (dollhua) is like 19, so it's definitely a shift in aesthetics in my bunch I'd say xD

The only thing making me waffle about it (other than there not being muscle bodies in the 60cm ish range) is that i could (should?) get a body for her and figure all that out now, or I could get a head for Faolan now and try placing a custom order for their bodies through Resinsoul at the same time (cen for him and asking if they could do a custom muscular girl body like i've seen them do with their 1/4 dolls before). The latter would potentially save me needing to dye as much (easier to request a custom body color to match the dyed head than try to dye a head to match i think) and potentially be a bit cheaper, but if i get her sorted now, then i can customize her and potentially have better luck getting a switch head in milktea rose for him if i find one i like second hand or get really lucky and they rerelease Ryuzo again. Most of the dolls i've got bookmarked for him second hand are normal resin, so I'd have to dye them a light tan. Which i don't mind per se, but also milktea rose and ryuzo are really pretty xD But if I don't get something for him now...then the heads i do have marked might sell by then...and then i have to find another option! There is one head that's tan that I have bookmarked, but it has a pretty faceup already and I'd feel bad wiping it :/

Decisions are hard ><

Boat hat boat hat! The mermaid has a boat hat!

Bonus terrible snap of Exx all dressed.

[maleficentmrsofallevil]

I took pictures of jointed hands

Some gonna be repeats, but I like comparing/contrasting companies, so it's easier to put them all together in one post.

First company: Telesthesia and Dragon. Model: 85 cm T&D Super Rider Lacy, normal resin. Also, my favorite for both posing and aesthetics:

Second company, second favorite, HELLA pricey: Dollmore Trinity jointed hands, normal resin, blushed by Dollmore. A little loosey-goosey for the size, and they tend to swivel a LOT.

not even a little sorry

Last company that I own: Resinsoul jointed hands in MSD and SD. Comparison with four models from left to right: Withdoll JWD Olivia (normal), Yummysweetsdoll Lotus in (???) on Doll Leaves MSD female body (normal), Xagadoll Mizzle (normal? yellow. She yellow) on Little Monica Little Harmony female body (normal), and Iplehouse CREAA-J Fantasy Elysia head (white) on Huajing 1/4 Special female body (normal).

Pre-swap sitting:

Pre-swap standing:

Post swap sitting - unpainted hands are Resinsoul normal, black painted hands are Resinsoul white:

Post swap standing:

Thoughts: the only body I liked the MSD hands on was the Little Monica body - the wrist ball joint was too big for all other bodies, even if I liked the proportions. However, there's a nice, sizeable chunk of resin on each side of Resinsoul's ball joints, so I could conceivably sand down the sides to make them fit, and I might?

Resinsoul jointed hands are still not cheap (like $40 for MSD IIRC), but they are the cheapest of this bunch. And sure, they look a little spidery, but all in all, not too bad. I really like them on the LM body, actually. The person who painted them black did a phenomenal job.

Dog help me when I have to restring them, tho...

[queenofsquids]

Before and after a couple days in 40vol in the sun (and some initial mild sanding too, but that was a waste of time, should have gone straight to 40vol).

It even got the yellowing on the rubbery parts. I'm shook.

(Ignore the hands, those are Resinsoul white)

(Edit: To clarify again this is ABS not the usual resin bjd)

[phoenixinthegarden]

She is the new girl so naturally she gets her first go at the @bjdchallenge :)

[webpixies]

A couple of doll plans I have brewing.

1: LT Craft head on a resinsoul shan body, with taobao hands I picked up second hand(huhuhu). Dyed over all light pink, but black hooves/horns and arm gradients.

2: Logan dolls head, fairyland tan legs, and a resinsoul Li upper torso modded the fuck out to fit the legs(expecting copious amount of superfine white milliput). Head and torso in white, probably color match the ears to the legs.

Line Up 03-27-18 by Iza's Face Up Shop Via Flickr: It was about time I did a new line up of all the dolls between my wife and I. 

There's 30 total ranging from 101cm to 5cm. I put the 101cm doll at the end of the SDs rather than the beginning as she's got the torso proportions of a slim MSD, but the head of an SD (I hybrided her).

 I did not take of shoes or wigs as it would have taken even longer then to set up the dolls and photograph them than it already did. I spent at least an hour on just taking the pictures! Finally I had to merge 3 images that had to be heavily edited to get rid of the camera lens curve and distortion. 

Sculpts and heights are all listed on the picture itself.
