Reblogging from my doll tumblr!

I finally got around to making background layouts in my doll cubbies for my Stranger Things custom Licca dolls. The nice thing is that I have an extra uncropped forest background for future photoshoots!

Working on something…

Say hi to Manfred! I made him as a birthday present to my dear friend @tiiracotta, who's a big Dragon Age fan.

I had a blast working all the little details on the 40cm tall skeleton base I got in a Halloween clearance sale. All the other materials came from my stash, including the eyes, which were originally part of my prop sword sheath for my cosplay of Kusuriuri from Mononoke. The ornaments have been falling off through the years, so I recently replaced a few, and it was by noticing how similar the green crystals are to Manfred's eyes that I had the idea to make the whole doll.

I've always loved puppets, dolls and miniatures, so I hope I can make more projects like this in the future!

The Art Proposal | 1/3

November 11, 2022

Grade 12 art project where I really just wanted to make a bacteriophage CAD model because I'm obsessed.

I fully printed and assembled this doll, but it broke. I need to figure out a way to 3D print the part body without the supports being mega annoying (or alter the CAD model/split it into multiple pieces). I'll do that someday and then 3D print this guy again.

We got a heavy smoker here!

His name is Eddie, he's my latest OC-turned-doll and I love him a lot!

I realised midway through making him that he kinda looked like a fusion between Billy Hargrove and Eddie Munson from Stranger Things (not why I gave him that name tho, Eddie is just my favorite name).

details below:

I modelled his face+painted it, and put it on a Severus snape doll body (that body was way too buff for Snape what the hell), and added monster high hands because the og ones were so VEINY it was really weird looking.

Clothes and accessories were all handmade exepted for the shoes, tattoos on forearms are halloween nails stickers (they make awesome tattoos for doll!).

crab time! maybe a crustacean can also qualify as mermay content?

i love sculpting weird heads, and this one started with the head shape, inspired by some ffxiv gear i was using on my character. i've also been wanting to make a doll with four arms for a while now. the most fun thing about this one is that because of the articulated crab claws, they can hold things.

[i'm still figuring out how to shoot on manual -> photos came out a little grainy this time. but i'll be a photographer yet.]

After some debating with myself I decided to open this fashion and put it on Cami! Also I used some of the box for Anna.

So Anastasia Tremaine is one of my favourite side characters from Disney, and with her whole story arc in Cinderella 3 I really wanted her love interest, The Baker, from the second movie.

I've been putting off doing this custom for so long because he has SUCH  drastically different body type from any male dolls out there that I knew it was going to take a while to attempt it.

But I decided to finally do it and went ahead and started modifying a Mego Aquaman since I had a spare of him around. I added to his chest and stomach, as well as added more bulk to his face so he would look less like Kristoff and vaguely different enough to be his own person.

Also, since the Baker has an upturned nose I modified that as well.

I hemmed and hawed about shortening his legs until I realised the shoes I had didn't fit the Mego feet so I cut off his original feet and ankles and added some Monster High feet instead. I also trimmed out a portion out of his thigh and strung the pieces back with wire, foil and a lot of superglue and cornstarch to fill the gaps.

I then covered his thighs to bulk them out but also to fill in the mess it left, as well as filled in the upper arms as they were too detailed for my taste.

I them sanded him over two days, and then painted him up in acrylics. I'm still kind of insecure about my colour matching abilities but since he's gonna be covered up I don't mind it.

He is such a uniquely shaped doll but I'm really proud of how he turned out.

Ghoulia had been one of my favorite G1 dolls, so I was pretty disappointed how bland she looked G3 (even though she had green skin!). This is inspired, tho. Might reconsider getting her now.

I'm going to put this as succinctly as possible, and this is just my opinion so please take it with a grain of salt if you disagree, but stock G3 Ghoulia is pretty awful.

I wanted to attempt to do her justice because I definitely saw potential because her doll isn't bad, but Mattel putting her in rags and making the same poor choices they always make made her really unappealing to me.

So I made her some pants, swapped out her ill-fitting shirt, made her a better functioning/more art accurate beanie, gave her a better looking skateboard, and repainted her lips.

Anyways, I like her significantly better now. Pants patterns will be available soon.

Have been putting things away and these two still make me smile.

Small happy plastic things :)

mistakes and all, here she is 🎉 I'm still working on drafting and sewing her outfit, but I am THRILLED to move on from the face. one thing I really struggled with was the eyes, and in the end I'm still considering making her new ones with what I learned trying to make these. They're obviously a rough fit. As for her hair, I can't stop fussing with it and I'm not sure how to get it just right. Ah well.

I really enjoy the amount of personality in this custom. And making a descendants doll body look good.

My new (end of) summer creation!

It’s been a while since I created an original doll like that, and I also wanted to make one with a prothesis limb. And here she is! 

She’s one of my OCs, I named her Ruth.

My mom saw her and said “Ho, this one is cute :)” so I went “Thanks! She got POCKETS :D!!!”

I also made a quick sketch of the original idea I had of her, I think its close enough!

She was originaly a Descendants Doll but I had to modify multiple parts of her body so she could be more articulated (like in the legs and torso, she can even slouch now) and added teeth (yeah, that part was fun) and eyelids. I can also “unscrew” her prosthesic leg. I’m thinking of making a post explaining her transformation step by step.

Anyway, really glad I was able to finish her for the end of summer, she look really cool!

P.S.: don’t smoke kids! 

I made a fish man.

Well, partially. I had a Monster High body that was missing limbs and frankinsteined him some replacements. Plus a few extra fins and a tail. He can't really stand on his fin leg (though I did make the fin articulated), so I made him a simple crutch. I've been watching art doll videos recently (of the stuffed and wire-articulated variety) and got inspired.

I still need to paint some details to make everything more cohesive and repaint the head. All the translucent additions glow in the dark, so I really want that to come through in his eyes. To cover his head to neck transition, I'll probably use some painted fabric.

The fin for his left leg is somewhere, I just forgot to attach it before I took the pictures.

Got Kay's padding done! The belly is just a bit of a legging and stuffing. Her chest is thin foam padding up top (to "shorten" her neck) and the rest is the same materials as her belly. It's all removable, so if I ever want to take some pictures of Amaya again, I can easily swap everything out.

Unfortunately, the only thing I have that fits her right now is the high-waisted pink dress that's a smidge too small for her chest. I'll take more pictures once I get her different clothes.

Here's my newly finished Cleo that I thrifted missing an arm, so I made her a prosthetic clipped off a discount Frankie. I always liked the sculpting on those limbs despite the lack of joints. I attached the arm by carving a slot in her arm and attaching it with an eye screw and pin.

I didn't touch her face, just added some details with paint pens. I'm not yet confident enough to use them to detail the shoes.

That being said, I'm happy how she came out, especially her arm and hair (which swooped nicely on it's own).

I hope to start posting more of my dolls here in the future!
