I have updated the Doll QnA with the requested information:- Created a section on stain treatment and prevention- Added 3kaku4kakuu to the Faceup Artist Directory- Added a section with links on basic doll care for vinyl and resin- Added a cock.li contact in case something catches fire and I need to be reached.Thank you for your continued suggestions and support.
>>46713196Thank you anonIs that your doll post more
>>46714201Oh, I do. That was Eris when I first took her out of the box, but you have seen her with her brunette bob since then.
>>46712840>Photo Challenge: Keeping CoolIt's particularly hot today
>>46714584She's come so far from her hostage days. Still wild that the seller just sent her out like a sausage roll.
>>46714633It really is. I wish I could crawl into my freezer and hibernate until fall. Good work beating the heat!>>46714643>a sausage rollUnboxing her was such a trip, she was shipped in two USPS long boxes taped together and was stored inside of a recycled Wreck-It Ralph box... this was my first doll experience and frankly I wouldn't change a thing. Mind the blanket, I was doing laundry that fateful autumn evening...
thanks you for baking!
>>46714715Thank you for posting!
>>46712840>>46713196Thanks anons>>46714584God I love them so much.>>46714682That picture looks like a youre unboxing a nativity set
>>46714633I can never find any more Asahi and it's wearing me down, I need some.
well Cherrie failed the 24h stain test lolprobably because rushed the wash on the outfitnot like I wasn't intending on getting her other clothesanyways now to see how first gen TF bodies respond to zit cream (testing in small area first of course)
>>46715818
>>46715823>>46715818What a gremlin
>>46715818Did it stain a lot? I remember someone on dolldreaming saying that they damaged the coating of their tinyfox by using remover, I don't remember if they used dream rescue or something else but be careful
I took this resolution that by the time I'd get the doll I'd quit to smoke and I tapered off. Now I've been without ciggies for 1 week, all for the sake of doll. I'm not enduring too well and to say I'm on a short fuse is an understatement. I think nicotine was the only effective barrier I had against stress and depression. I'm pretty impressed that I am managing this in the first place. Thanks dolly... please get here ASAP before I cave in and destroy the whole city Godzilla style
>>46717833>I think nicotine was the only effective barrier I had against stress and depression.It's only been a week (which is a tremendous feat on your part), but in terms of your body that isn't enough time to reach a new equilibrium. What I'm saying is that you shouldn't draw conclusions just yet, especially one like that. I imagine it could easily convince you that quitting isn't worth it when it is, so stay strong and keep it up. It'll get easier. Are you employing any strategies to help yourself in the endeavor?
>>46717990Note that I had already quit in the past, and it was way easier (I decided I'd quit, threw my current pack in the trash, stopped for 10 years). I don't know what the hell they do with cigarettes today but they're insanely more addictive. I had never felt this insane compulsion to smoke before even though I always was a heavy smoker. I have done some research and apparently tobacco companies are bound by legal standards on the amount of nicotine, but over the years they maximized how much of that nicotine you inhale with every drag so it's like crack cocaine now. Do NOT start to smoke in this godforsaken era, it's like fighting magical mind control I swear to God.>Are you employing any strategies to help yourself in the endeavor?Honestly it's just thinking about the resolution. I am not supposed to have quit already, and it's good enough that I had tapered to 1 pack every 3-4 days, but by the time I get the doll I want to be completely tobacco-free.
>>46716468not really and yeah that's what I've heard, so I'm doing a small test first>>46718261>maximized how much of that nicotine you inhaleand yet it's still less than smoking a pipe
>>46716468>>46718354alright that was quickthe answer is no don't use it on TF bodies, at least the first gen that are coated hard plasticstain is removed but causes blistering of the coatingtesting a less chemically-intensive method now
>>46718354In my experience pipe smoking is not addictive at all. You don't inhale the smoke either so it doesn't give you the same nicotine hit from getting in your lungs.Either way smoking stinks and it's expensive. When I think about all the doll socks I could buy with ciggy money, my resolve is renewed.I don't smoke indoors and always wash my hands before I touch things I care about, but you do get cigarette taint on your fingers and I don't want any of that to rub off on dolly. It's just another excuse to quit though.
>>46718592>You don't inhale the smoke eitherthat's cigars you're thinking ofor you've just been doing pipes wrong
>>46718603uh anon... no... you are absolutely not supposed to inhale pipe smoke, they are exactly like cigars
>>46718698>>46718603no, they are very very differentboth are generally aspirated with the mouth, instead of lungs like cigarettes arebut the burn characteristics are completely differentpipe smoke can be inhaled as part of smoking, but very few cigars can be due to how irritating the combustion products are on the more sensitive bits of the respiratory system(source: have had extensive experience with both over the last ~20 years)
>>46717990My mother quit smoking 25 years ago and still gets the urge to have a cig. Took her a few tries even with the patch.
Since we've been talking a lot about stain removal, I'll continue the train. Does anyone have any experience removing staining from a face? I don't want to risk damaging the faceup so I'm willing to live with some minor discoloration, but is it possible to do risk free?
>>46719022Almost everything involving the head is inherently risky in my opinion
my poor neglected hobby, neglected dolls.
>>46718788This is genuinely the first time I heard that pipe smoke is inhaled.
>>46717833The first week is the hardest. Every subsequent week it'll get just a bit easier to bear. The urge might never fully leave you, but you will be able to get a handle on it. And your body will thank you for it just as much as your doll will. Maybe if you have the opportunity, you can seek alternative measures to deal with the struggles you face, too. You're being very brave to give up something that soothes you in pursuit of the life you want to lead, anon. I'm just a literal-who on a siamese fighting fish forum, but I'm proud of you.
>>46719146She’s waiting for him to return from the war.
>>46717833>>46718592>all the doll socks I could buy with ciggy money, my resolve is renewedKudos to you for having the determination to quit before even owning a doll. Make sure to post pictures once you get itanyone else notice the captchas are getting harder to solve?
>>46715818I was going to ask for a picture of Elle holding your new doll but it's already here. Dolls with smaller dolls are such a pleasant sight.>>46719146How are the others ones doing?
>>46720095fair. just sitting on the bookcase judging me, waiting for me to get a job and buy them better outfits.
>>46720390Girl with the dyed hair is a cutie! Did you dye that yourself? I've been thinking about trying something similar with one of my dolls.
>>46720413i assume i bought it from leeke world. dying wigs way out of my ability.
http://m.en.leekeworld.com/product/bloomflower/1675/category/54/display/1/found it, it was this model
I got a TinyFox Body off some body secondhand. I like her a lot, although her range of motion is kind of limited. Kind of just waiting on my Calamusi, and Black cat from Dollzone, it's been like 11 months since I ordered those two. Only been into this BJD thing for a year and already have 5 in such a short period, but I'm lacking on clothes and wigs.
>>46719356>Maybe if you have the opportunity, you can seek alternative measures to deal with the struggles you faceYeah... shopping for doll clothes I'm afraid...
>>46719146>>46720390long time no see>>46720095>Elle holding your new dollmakes me grin every time I look at itthe photo that is, had to disassemble Cherrie for stain treatment immediately afterspeaking of, my alternate stain removal method hasn't worked (yet), but I may have found a way to (partially) reverse the blisteringso experiments continue
What do dolls get up to when you're away?
>>46723164Girls' favorite pastime: mean-spirited gossip
>>46724436Not about us though, right anon?
Is it me or are 1/3 resin dolls getting bigger and bigger?
>>46726414One day I'm getting a MDD, they're too cute
>>46712840Is there an updated place to get patterns? Link in OP is mostly empty folders.
>>46726414I need more of her
>>46724929They're trashing you for not getting them more clothes and props.
beat it, just beat it
>>46729212
>>46729387Amazing
>>46729387She's so excited
Here's a hopefully better photo, thanks again op. Trying more outdoor stuff in prep for my planned shoot this weekend. Not my first flower choices but I liked them for the color matching. Definitely want to do a lot more flower shoots going forward. Time was 3pm so a little early, kinda harsh not under cover but was curious how it would come out. As always I didn't notice her neck until now, its always something.
>>46729340Cute and wonderful hair
>>46728934try dolldreaming
I've slowly given up life the past year, and since I'm going to die as a pathetic retarded loser virgin, I might as well get a BJD. What are good doll makers that are maximum cute?
>>46729387hallo :D hallo :D hallo :D
>>46734427Cuteness is subjective. Can you post an example of something you find cute, and then we can guide you?0kmp
>>46734427In my opinion, solutions like that are merely temporary and will only leave you eventually feeling worse although I do it anyway.I'm not saying don't get a doll, just that you shouldn't put all the weight of your emotions onto it.
Just realized a ~50ml kyusu would be doll sized wouldn't it
*I* got a doll because I'm a based übermensch, patron of the arts. I tower above the crowds of dumb normalplebbitors.
>>46734427i feel that desu i been feeling like a fuck up and anytime i win, its been because of luck, i understand luck is always part of the equation but it was pure luck that i landed my first non minimum wage jobonly way is forward and we gotta keep getting good at whatever we do for the sake of our dollstl;dr do it for her (or him)
>>46735150a what?
>>46734427maybe a blythe doll. i wish I had a blythe.
>>46734427backing up what>>46735043 says the only limit is your own creativity
>>46735274A (yokode) kyusu is a Japanese teapot, picrel is an example of a 100ml one
>>46735350oh thats a cute idea actually!are you gonna make it yourself or what?
>>46714715What's the new twitter account of that doll owner? Last time I checked they deleted it
>>46735943https://twitter.com/ibitu3Nvm found it again
>>46729387>tfw one step closer to real 2D waifusNippon-okamisama, I kneel...
>>46735350This is off-topic but there's this video of a Japanese potter that I love so muchhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybb-HhSrtxAI love Japanese artisans. The teapots aren't even that expensive, I think they were like 250 or 300 for something insanely pleasant to look at. Seriously this Japanese pottery looks mesmerizing
Somewhere I have a video about literal Japanese basket weaving. Artisan lives next to a bamboo grove and explains the entire process from cutting the bamboo stalk to drying it, working it into strips and finally making absurdly nice traditional basket weaving, I was in love with traditional Japanese basket weaving by the end of it
Not the same video but it was similar. This artisan makes briefcases, the one I had watched made these insanely beautiful artistic baskets. Worth watching though.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoYRoo_c5V0
>>46735283I have a Blythe, at first I was put off by the images but I've fallen in love with how they look in person. They have a really comfortable weight, the eye system is fun, and they look rather adorable on the shelf. The soft hair and large head, heavy head also makes them rather nice to hug.I however bought one from Aliexpress for like 20 bucks. I refuse to pay Takara that much especially with how limited the original body is. The knockoff one came with a ton of articulation, alternate hands and a whole extra set of head plates to customize or to serve as spare parts.
>>46737743I hate my autocorrect.
>>46737743just an fyi if you by on mercari japan or yahoo auctions you could get secondhand blythes for like $50-100 before shipping instead of a fake one. you could also get a secondhand Azone doll, which most people like switching out Blythe bodies for, for even cheaper
>>46739163Is there a noticeable quality difference? I often prefer bootlegs for having roughly the same quality without paying for the brand, when it comes to large companies like these I don't feel bad about it at all.Even 50 bucks second hand, I'd have to pay a reseller to buy it for me and send it with a low declared cost, I'd rather buy a Pullip if I'm spending that much.
>>46735613No I couldn't, I'd fail miserably on that small of a scale...I know someone here said they wanted to make teacups or something of the sort for their doll though, patiently waiting to hopefully see those!>>46737259It's interesting to see the cross section like that at the end, that was cool to see! For what they are they seem to fairly price them over there, I just ordered one earlier that's fully handmade by one of those officially recognized master craftsman and it was 68 USD before shipping. I feel as though that's really cheap for the time and skill involved>>46737282>>46737375Very lovely, that was really impressive. Especially the part after he folded up from the bottom, every strand was everywhere, how do you keep track of it all?
need this in my life
>>46740293If you search for Genji Shimizu teapots there's a gallery of his pottery somewhere, they're works of art. Sadly all these craftmen will probably take their legacy to their graves because of industrialization and loss of tradition. I have a lot of these videos from woodcarving to dolls (the traditional kind dressed in Heian style clothes) they're all amazing.That briefcase from the bamboo craftsman is like 3k dollars lol. But it's beautiful work.
>>46742510At least in Japan they have the living national treasure program to keep some of that stuff alive.
Can anyone ID what these dolls are? I'm unsure of the scale but it looks like they're probably 1/6 from the background. Their hair sculpts are really pretty and the faces are adorable, I want one...
These eyes really are just way too big, lol.
>>46744500Cute... Is she MSD or SD? I think I may have asked before
Do vinyl bodies just collect stains over time? I was spot treating a stain and when it was done the treated spot is significantly brighter than the rest of the doll. Do I really have to treat the whole doll on occasion?
>>46744272Aren't these just figma styles?
The virgin vinyl girl>floppy rubbery body needs a plastic frame to function>vapid anime expression shows no higher intellect>stains from 3 seconds in contact with fabric>sold second-hand to lonely Japanese salarymenThe Chad resin boy>sculpted rock-hard muscles held by powerful bungee cords>smug and condescending smile foretells his cunning and wickedness>rocks those black stockings all day without fear>custom made by witchcraft-practicing fujoshiHow can vinyl hope to compete?
>>46745447The virgin resin chud> Always looks like a faggy femboy mixed with a sickly victorian child> Needs restrung daily> Shatters if falls from your selfThe Chad vinyl dame> Always cute and lovely> Plastic frame stays strong with basically no maintenance even after years> Can fall from a second story window onto concrete with little more than a scuff that buffs outResin bots stay coping and seething
why do people get angry at chad vs. virgin banter nowadays
>>46745765I laughed at both since I have no standards. >>46745239I've also experienced this and have learned to just accept the stains. It works in my favor since I prefer my dolls clothed and well covered anyways. If it gets really bad, I also have to option to outright replace that body part for like a months coffee money.
>>46745765Neither seem very mad to me, did one of them upset you?>>46745239What did you treat and what did you use? Leaving treatment on too long can lighten the vinyl. I've noticed large vinyl dolls stain a lot easier than 1/6 scale
>>46745447i love my chad resin boyfriends and also my virgin resin boyfriend
>>46744806MSD. The shift she's wearing is for an SD body, I just have it on her while I wait for her clothes to arrive.
>>46747384Sorry, I meant MSD size. She's from Charm Doll.
>>46744272Someone on Doll Dreaming should know. I went looking... from what I've seen, Azone do make some dolls with sculpted hair according to this HobbySearch blogpost, but I cannot track down these specific dolls.https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/blog/190926>>46745765I think the anons above are just playing around. All dolls are good dolls at the end of the day.
>>46744272Seems like some kind of AzoneThey have several line of dolls, these remind of the fairy ones
>>46734427dolls are not a loser hobbyit's expensive + dollfags make meetings so you have to socialize and exchange doll business cards
>>46747341Kek the Chad resin incel
>>46735043>>46735296I like how dollfies look. Some of their collaboration they have really nice looking clothes. How customizable are dollfies in general anyway?
https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1259507963There's a tan DDdy girl on Mandarake right now.
>>46749273Read the guide
is MSC toxic for skin? I know it causes breathing problesm and lung cancer and I got a 3M mask and filter as well as gloves, but is it take a shower and immediately wash clothes after spraying? or should i wear a trash bag or something and wash as well
>>46752120I never noticed it on my skin when the wind picked up right as I sprayed sending the cloud of MSC towards my face. Spraying it directly on your skin is not something im familiar with. I would just wash with soap and water afterwards if it does contact and you feel it. Nitrile gloves, glasses (any kind), respirator is sufficient in my experience.
>>46744272Are these perhaps something like Assault Lily heads on Azone bodies?
>>46745339I checked these, I don't see any hair or face sculpts that match but it was a good lead>>46747438>>46747596>>46753664After looking at MFC I can't find dolls with these hair sculpts either, but their face shapes look somewhat similar to the Assault lillies. The more I look at Assault Lillies and Mimy Garden the more I'm convinced these are 1/6 dolls because the level of detail on the hair doesn't seem to exist at a scale as small as 1/12. My first thought was that these were actually pardolls from the Parfom line because of their face shapes but I can't find any evidence of dolls that actually look like this being made by them either... Either way, thanks for replying!
>>46744272I thought they might be Sio2 or arcdoll, but can't find a match with a quick search. Still, might be something to look into if you like the style.
>>46744272>>46753720Those dolls are called "BikiniStyle" or "BikiniStyle Cara".https://twitter.com/ryuntaro/media

>>46754973
>>46754973>>46754978That's probly a customized Angel Philia girl. >>46754943Thank you anon, NTA who asked but I have never heard of these before. Do you know anything more about them? Are they plastic or resin garage kits? Are they strung or assembled like a more traditional figure? They're very cool, thank you for sharing.
Akira got a new kimono! It's not a traditional print but I think it looks nice.

I received this outfit recently.

>>46754973From their twitter, she started out as an Iris Petit. That bust is Obitsu and the waist/thighs are Imomo.

Waaaaait a minute....

>>46754943Thank you so much! I really love their aesthetic!
speaking of which... this suigintou... I kneel...
>>46760932https://www.instagram.com/yuqsun_dollandart/p/CthoS6cxfT8/So beautiful... The sculpt is of course an unfindable limited Volks. Better than the official
>>46759847I've been wondering where to post things like this. I collect loosely-termed "artdolls" (articulated stuffed animals, basically, picrel) in addition to my doll hobby, and I never know where I would post them. I suppose one could make a /toy/ thread, but it's a bit of an odd fit. I do enjoy the occasional amigurumi posting from you, anon. They're very cute.
>>46760932>>46760954Damn, imagine mogging a Volks doll with another Volks sculpt
>>46760979How do they work? Is there wire inside?
I haven't kept up with Smartdoll in a long time. Is Danny Choo still working on putting animatronics in smart dolls or did he give up?
>>46760979A doll general has been discussed for a while now, there's a lot of things that can be called a doll while not really qualifying for any existing generals, hell even now the doll generals we do have are across at least 2 boards and 3 threads.I guess any of us could try. Can someone just start a thread and wing it from there? I always got the impression these are harder to make than they look.
>>46762752He hasn't talked about in a while so it's probably back burner to dolls that promote unhealthy lifestyles but I don't think he's canned it entirely.
>>46763269OP here, let's see how this goes. >>>/toy/10979380
>>46761870Generally, if they are articulated, they have a wire armature inside. Some also use lockline (teddy bear) spines instead. Others use a mix of these and other things depending on the result they want to achieve!
>>46760979That looks really good and...complicated>I do enjoy the occasional amigurumi posting from you, anonactually I just discovered this thing like a week or two ago, they're really cute, here's a Kiwi turtle.Ok, I'm gonna stop bothering w them for now.
>>46764455I'll leave this to compensate
>>46763658Looks good anon, hope it takes off, though I fear I don't have anything to post there. Is it a good idea to create another niche general? I don't know, I assume making one without a focus tends to end poorly here.
>>46759282In my opinion the quality is good and the details are nicely done. Despite the number of parts, the outfit is relatively easy to put on as there are velcro. Almost all large golden areas are white lined but the small borders aren't. I don't like very much the panties but that's more subjective. The veil has a hair clip on only one side so it doesn't hold well if you move around your doll. I still think Orione is a bit pricey, though their outfits are definitely more complex and detailed than my other purchases.Which outfits caught your eye?I never decided my doll's name.
>>46764455I love this kiwi turtle. Perhaps you can crosspost him over in >>46763658 this general? I don't know if it will take off, but I thought it would be nice to make a space for it.>>46764528No idea, I don't tend to use /toy/ very often, but I'm willing to give it a go.
>>46764553I'm going to be honest anon I don't want to post anywhere else, much less in a board I don't useDon't worry though, if I keep posting these will not b often
>>46765044/toy/ is absolute garbage, not posting there is a good move
>>46765044I think that's very fair anon. I look forward to your future Amigurumi posts.>>46768335I have never really visited /toy/ regularly, but the thread felt off-topic to make /here/... well, for lack of a better home in that case, I think it's alright if we occasionally see other things posted from time-to-time. It's a rare interlude in vinyl-and-resin-posting, but like a free sample, it's a pleasant surprise in the daily routine. But that's only my opinion, and others may choose to engage with the posts as they see fit.
>>46764538Black Dahlia, Stardust Witch, Marshmallow, Crimson Vampire Princess, in order from most wanted to it looks ok but I'm not sure how often I'd dress her up like that. Though part of me also thinks that any of those would require a different doll than the one I have right now from an eye and hair standpoint. Most of these require a light colored hair like a pastel color or silver. Also the Blossom or Gardenia lingerie but I don't want to admit to myself that I'm considering those yet

I can't come up with a BJD spin on Mergers and Acquisitions.
Funny thing is people have made business cards with/for their dolls.

Ball joints are cute!!!!!!
>>46792879This anon is cute!
i wish i had ball joints
I hope someday I'll have enough money, time, and sowing skills to buy and outfit BJDs of all my MMO OCs.
>>46793314My ultimate doll dream is to make my own resin doll
>>46788664>doll alan’s cardok i laughed too much at this, and now I have the urge to buy doll suits…
>>46793314I hate how much I love this idea....What body/face would you start with to do a lalafell from ffxiv?
>>46793709Not them but I think the 1/6 Imomodolls are pretty perfect for it, a lot of the heads have elf ears and the 27-28cm (ish) height is about 1/3 scale for lalafell, with big enough heads they look appropriately scaled next to 1/3 dolls. They're also chubby like lalafell are! If you don't care about scaling the 1/4 chubby imomo body is the same shape with similar heads available. If you don't like the imomo bodies, you could use a 1/6 Tinyfox body since it's a similar chubby shape!
>>46793709Looked around a bit and fdound this Lala BJD on the xiv forums.Apparently it's a Volks Dollfie Dream MDD
>>46793793This is a great starting point, thank you!>>46793831Cute! These might be good too!
>>46714584im dumb so i cant describe with the right words but i really like her casually being there with all the others esoteric dolls
>>46793831hmm that's definitely not an MDD thoughunless they were just referring to the head?
>>46793923I wouldn't know... I'm not that well versed in all the different types of dolls.
>>46793831>>46793923>>46793954That's a Dollce head, type A, with custom ears. I can't see much of the body but the hands do look like MDD hands. The arms and legs look fatter than MDD limbs though so it could either be a Puyoodoll body or a bodysuit adding bulk. I think this picture is older than Mochi-Ashi, so it's probably just a modded MDD or Puyoodoll

Do any of you have experience making doll wigs with curled saran? I need some help, if possible. I bought some thinking it'd be simple enough, due to the material's good reputation, but this is hell. The curls refuse to be pressed down no matter what I do, making sewing the damn thing nigh impossible, not to mention I can barely straighten them out even with boiling water. Nothing I do works, and what seems to work, damages the hair too much like straightening it out with raw strength or consistent pressure.What did seem to work was using 2 pieces of paper at once to make sure no hair comes in contact with any part of the sewing machine, but even that wasn't guaranteed, it still got the machine stuck several times and it's not a weak one at all. Even when I got a good run, it was too flimsy after removing a layer of paper. It doesn't seem impossible, but it's been such a massive headache I don't know if it's worth it to keep trying, I already lost a considerable amount with all the jams.I am out of ideas, for now, I am never working with saran or curled hair again. Wonderful waste of time and money this was, guess even artificial curly hair is terrible for styling, as if mine wasn't bad enough.
This is coming up.
Ok I need some opinions. Im going with all black eyes for her, that was a great suggestion by anon. The 2nd set of eyes came out more diamond shaped than oval which doesnt fit the molds i have, making them has been a huge pain in the ass. The extra eyes for sure will have black lining to them to mask my tool marks and shape them some. The smallest eyes protrude slightly. Should the diamond eyes also protrude slightly or sit that kinda flush/slightly recessed with a bump in the center. I dont think theyre super critical as they’ll be mostly hidden by her hair but I wanna get the eyes right before the final faceup design.
>>46803022I honestly think you're doing a great job so far, anon. It's ok whether they're flush or they protrude slightly as long as there aren't noticeable gaps between the head and where the eye sits on the inside. She's really cool so far!
>>46803022Im going to remake the diamond eye. I ran out of black uv resin. I tried layering the little black i had over clear and it did not work color wise.
What do you do if your doll starts getting an attitude?
>>46803405You already answered for me
>>46802021Saran should straighten if you boil wash it, no idea why it wouldn't. Honestly if you're having trouble sewing it, I would suggest looking into making glue-based wefts instead of thread based ones. It's messy but easier!

>Once in a lifetime opportunity to take photos of my dolls under the northern lights.>Was so tired after work I went to bed early and missed it.How do I become a NEET and still have the money for dolls?
>>46805387There will be another opportunity. The sun is projected to have increased solar activity this year from what I've heard, so take heart. As for that question... I wish I knew. I could get into it, but suffice to say it is a real challenge. Try to find remote work if your living situation will support such a thing. I hope that somehow, we will all find a path forward.
played around with Yuzu's spare head a bit last weekendmostly just getting used to working in 3D, and testing out blushing colorsthis'll all get erased and I'll continue playing around some more, still need to practice acrylics
>>46807955for reference here's roughly what I'm going forthe draft I did was just in graphite pencil
>>46807955>>46807968Excited to see your work anon, please keep posting tests and progress updates if you don't mind!
4/4 fun day
>>46809060Akira is always very tastefully dressed and classy looking
>>46807955>>46807968This will look great in paint. Really looking forward to seeing Yuzu's finished faceup
>>46809060>>46809119>>46809207>>46809239Such a classy girl. I love her. I must meet her.
>>46803022She looks awesome so far anon, you rounded the sockets quite well, I look forward to seeing her whole.>>46803543I should have been more suspicious of the low price I guess, thanks Anon, I'll shelve the hair for now and try with glue later. The caps I made up to now wouldn't take well to glue.
Do pastels blend differently on doll faces vs paper?? I'm waiting for my MSC so currently testing paints pencils and pastels on paper. Pencils and paints work great but my pastels are so splotchy
>>46809060>>46809119>>46809207>>46809239These are great shot anon! Wonderful, you really capture a day out with her here.
>>46809207CUTE! i love this one
>>46810305Ok so this is just an idea I had. It could be you dont have the pastels fine enough. I did some test spots with slightly different grains sizes. Tried to wipe off excess between blends.
>>46810607Granted this is shavings on paper directly into blends, where when I do my faceups I’ll put it in a palette/on paper, mix like pictured a little and then apply it to the face. I have no idea if this helps.
doll butt!
>>46810889Doll boobs
>>46811200Does anyone here have experience with the silicon bodies? How are they?
>>46811208They look good, are more posable, and are surprisingly toned but are very high maintenance. Some cons: heavy, fragile skin, stains easily, victim of metal skeleton fatigue, and damage accumulates over time. Any friction causes surface tears, so you have to constantly reapply baby power.Not for me as a vinyl enjoyer as silicon bodies feel closer to scale figures where you are forced to set and forget and ignore their playability aspect.
>>46811517Forgot to add the biggest con, dressing them is a nightmare since they are so sticky even powdered.

agnethe pauline.seeing a pic of the narupajin miku doll sparked my obsession with getting one, and ended up with 4. i wish i could get a mdd and a blythe maybe.
Kicking myself because I opted to not bid on a dollfie head I really liked and bid on some 1/6 doll I sort of wanted instead because I thought the dollfie would go out of my budget, woke up to see instead it was the other way around and I get neither.

>>46815599Pain... Tragedy... Suffering, even...
>>46815976Impressive kill count
Do we like ob11 nendolls here? Want to post mine...
>>46816392Even if they aren't 100% on-topic, in at least my opinion, they're close enough. A little variety once in a while won't kill the general. I would like to see your dolls, anon.
I put dream rescue on a headcap and I guess i left it on too long because there's a tiny spot where the vinyl has sort of peeled off? It's barely noticeable but you can feel it with your finger. is this something I can buff out with sandpaper?
>>46809060>>46809119>>46809207>>46809239I dislike how this doll always looks like she has her life put together 10x more than I do
>>46783763This dolls is very hot anon. Mind if I fap?
>>46815976Post your tea zone
>>46817533I've been wanting to do a whole tea session + doll photoshoot. I will post it here one of these months
>>46816817Bought a melamine sponge and extra fine sandpaper, we will see when they arrive. It's the headcap so if I fuck it up ah well
>>46816817Take a picture with good lighting and focus to show what happened, if you could. Hard to know what you're talking about
Hi friends! I sincerely hope you're all having a good day today>>46818159Another friend requesting this, I need it ASAP!!! I got a very lovely new teapot recently and I'm feeling very content with it
Visited my old university over the weekend and figured I'd take my dolls with me since it would be mostly empty and has some nice locations.
>>46818719Honestly it's about time these girls got an education.
>>46818729
>>46816817>>46818184is it actual vinyl, or tinyfox? either way DO NOT SAND it or use any kind of abrasivesif actual vinyl, let it sit a few days and it should settle backunless maybe it's an MSC layer that's peeling?by headcap I assume you mean top part of the head, not a silicone cap you'd put under a wigif it's coated tinyfox, solution will be completely different
>>46818807>>46818537It's the blank headcap for DDH-28, I bought it to do my first faceup but I somehow got pen on her head and used dream rescue. Sorry this picture is the best I can get. It's very small, but it's a tiny dot where it feels slightly different from the rest of the head. It feels more rubbery/sticky I guess? It got lint stuck to it easily. I think it's lighter too.
>>46819291yes that's normal, don't touch it and it'll go awaydream rescue and similar stain removers include a penetrating chemical that provides a pathway for the stain out of the vinylif you try to wipe it or sand it off, it'll leave a pit in the surface once the chemical evaporates
>>46819381Ok I'll wait then, I'd need sandpaper eventually for mouth mods later on so not a waste. Do you know how long it takes to go away?
>>46818719wow I was out there too. we must have just missed each other
>>46809060>>46818736>>46819473>>46815976Great photos anons, very cute.

>>46818736>>46818729>>46818719Very nice photos anon they look like they've become fast friends
>>46816982its only fair our daughters have a better life than ours, remember that their happiness is our happiness and thats why its completely fair for her to have twice the ammount of clothes you have
any translation for doll oji yet?
Be honest, anons. When was the last time you cleaned your doll? Washed her hair?
>>46825113Washed?
>>46825281Yes. Wigs collect and hold dust and dirt better than anything and should be washed with an appropriate shampoo periodically. It can also make the wig shine better and smell nice, depending on the shampoo.Plus your doll deserves a spa day. Treat her well.
>>46823974tiny hands wrote this very suspicious post
>>46825113Never I don't want to undo these braids, I know they'll never come back if I do
>>46825508No they didn’t, promise.
>>46826054Is she okay?
>>46826188NoAlso, I wonder if her azone 1/6 doll was cancelled. It got announced ages ago
>>46826188Shes still getting used to selfies with her new friends, please be patient with her.
>>46826321this hitted me deeper than it should've
>>46815136I don't know. She hasn't told me her name. What should I call her?
>>46826534tangy
>>46826534Citron. She looks a little sour.
>>46821111see you next week!!
>>46826724I know you mean the convention meet but that was the most concerning thing you could have said without that context. Thanks and see you then.
Where do you guys usually find out about meetups? I wanted to see if anything was happening at ACEN this year.
>>46826534She has a dark and grungy aesthetic, so you can either lean into that or go against type. Kind of like naming a chihuahua Killer or naming a mastiff Princess. Rin [凜] (りん) and Ume [梅](うめ) come to mind, to me, personally. (For people with some japanese under their belt, nameinthebox.com is a really good resource for things like this.)
>>46827261namehintbox.comI meant namehintbox, I just woke up and I don't have a brain yet. Apologies.
>>46827011I plan them. Speaking of which, reminder if anyone I f the PA/NJ/NY area is free next weekend, I am hosting a meetup at ThyGeekdomCon. The meet will be on Saturday. I'm still working out a time.
>>46815136Her name is Silvia. She is a wolf maid that I hired her to watch over my bratty smaller dolls.>>46817498Sure anon. She only wishes that you make sure to clean up thoroughly afterwards.>>46826054I love pictures like this. This is truly what the average doll thread poster looks like.>>46826534Maybe Vex? Do tell us what you decide to name her in the end or if you have some name options you are considering.

Do you name your dolls?
>>46836992I have the names for dolls I don’t even own yet.
The weather has been nice and lot of flowers are in bloom here, so I spent the last few days taking pictures with my doll.
>>46838287I took a metric ton of pictures this time around, so I'll space things out so I don't clog the thread. Even though the thread is already on the way out.
>>46838338Not a flower, but I thought it was cute.I tried out reducing noise along with the saturation tweaking in this pic. It's neat, but I feel it's a bit much.Last pic for now. I've got, like, 8 more to show. So I'll drop those later.
>>46836992yes, but most of my dolls are based on either anime or video game characters, so their names aren’t usually original>>46838422cute!
>>46838338I've already got the next thread in the oven for later, so feel free to hold the rest of your adorable photos until then anon!>>46836992Eventually! Some come with their names when I adopt them (Luna and Dorothy,) some I think of a name for on the spot (Eris,) and some take a while to settle on a good name for them. And some still don't have names yet because I haven't thought of the right one yet... all things in time.
