More things I’ve had going for a while… I actually got a second Minifee Soony head that I wanted to use to make a darker skinned Soony. I had still been meaning to repaint my original Minifee Soony as well, since she was airbrushed (poorly) to match her old body. Since I’m waiting for the dark tanned body, I decided to repaint the new head as the original one’s character so that I could use the old faceup as an immediate reference, or keep it if I didn’t like the redo as much. I’m pretty happy with her though!

Here’s a newer-to-me girl, Black Cherry Dolls Cookie Brownie. She’s very fun! She’s wearing a Barbie shirt and Gene Marshall pants. She came with a very nice faceup by onion.bulb on IG, but it was damaged (lashes pulled off and took some paint with them, and rubs in the blush and lips), so I added some more blushing to fill it in.

Also in that last post, but I received the Dream Valley body in yellow for Tennant, so naturally I went right about cutting it up, haha. He was way too tall compared to Daniel and Conchita. He’s still a bit too tall but any further height would be harder to remove. I removed a chunk from the ankles and shortened the neck.

It wasn’t too hard, just a lot of sanding to smooth it out. I did it once before on a Resinsoul body and used Milliput to connect the pieces which I think was less visible, but I got lazy here and used superglue since I could always Milliput later.

What I did was stick the calves onto the feet, then draw two level lines around them by holding a pencil parallel to the table and rotating the calves. I drew perpendicular lines across (like a train track) and also marked the back center to keep things lined up. I cut the pieces out with a Dremel (saw might’ve been better but I don’t have a good one) and used a coarse sandpaper flat on the counter to get the edges flat and even. I glued them together by lining up the back center lines and the internal channel, then sanded it smooth.

I am behind on Tumblr again, RIP

After a long time searching, a kind soul contacted me who was willing to sell their Littlefee Soony! This faceplate has some unfinished mods I needed to tidy up but I’m very excited about this little one. Her ears were cut down further than I would have done but I think the shape is really cute. The faceup is a WIP – I wanted her to have big dark brows. She’s stuck unfinished at the moment because I can’t get to the airbrush right now and I can’t seal the layer.

A handful of quick photos from after I rearranged my shelves and redressed some dolls. I’ve been working WAS to much overtime for over a month now so sorry I don’t have much to say.

Tags on Tumblr are so annoying I’m just going to list the dolls in the post body and hope that lets searches pick them up.

This is a bit different, but I’m making a tweaked Tennant
doll head sculpt to print at a larger scale and I wanted to hear if
anyone has some thoughts/critique/suggestions on the face sculpt/anatomy
before I commit! I’ll add some asymmetry near the end. The shoulders,
hair and polypaint are just to help visualize.

Update on Nabiya! I finally did a last layer on her faceup. I think I change her wig more often than any of my other dolls… I don’t know if I can’t find one that suits her, or if it just suits her to change it up a lot. She really needs new eyes, these are blatantly too small for her eye wells, but nothing else has irises of the same size and darkness and I find those parts to be perfect.

More recent photos of Daniel, mostly to show off his new rings. Also there you can see that Tennant on the Dream Valley body is way too tall, haha. When his body in the right color arrives I’m going to shorten the legs.

I took these boudoir-y photos of Daniel a while back for a Men’s Monday BJD thing that IG was doing a while back. I get the distinct feeling the Tumblr crowd will be more interested than IG though. Thanks for all the nice comments on him!

Someone on DoA was asking about MSD hybrids so I snapped some pictures of my MSD Schulze (which has eyes modded smaller, and is from 2005 according to the headplate) on a bunch of bodies. I threw the DV girl body in there just because I had it around and undressed, haha.

Dream Valley B4-02 girl body in yellow with Doll Chateau hands (the foot is somewhere else): Super bobbleheaded but would probably look cute with the more anime-looking heads honestly. The body is in the right color family but lighter. A newer head might be closer.

Dream Valley B4-04 51cm boy body in white skin / WS (mine is using a Dollshe hand as well): Very obviously not a resin match to Volks NS/pureskin. Actually looks good proportionally if you want a very tall doll.

On Fairyland Minifee / MNF old A-line boy body in NS (from 2007-2008): Good resin match, but the head looks pretty big. The neck is thin for my taste. Newer FL NS will not match like this… the color is different after 2012 or so.

On Souldoll Soulkid NL boy body in NS (mine has modded hips/thighs): Souldoll NS is very light and pink and doesn’t match Volks at all. Also this particular body poses horribly (hence the mods). The proportions are quite nice though since it’s a bigger body.

On Akagidoll 47cm boy body in NS (mine has Resinsoul hands right now): This one is my first choice. The color is a little darker than my head actually, but it looks good with the faceup. Great proportions, like a taller version of the original measurements. Also it’s just a really solid inexpensive body that poses really well.

Here’s the last of my kinda-finished dolls to recap (phew). She’s a Unoa 2nd Cream with the Dollybird face. She has a really weirdly designed body with astonishing bad and weird engineering, but I really wanted her because she can squeeze into Gene fashions and I have a whole lot of them that I got from an estate sale.

I tried to keep her faceup fairly simple but a bit glam. I didn’t sand her eyebrows or anything so those were a bit weird to paint.

This one had been my project for a month or so! She is Large. Very Large. But also not as heavy as a resin SD. She poses well and is super fun. I did pretty extensive mods on her face trying to make her look more stylized and less childlike.

She’s a Parabox 80cm Otohime Yu-Chan and she wears:
26mm eyes (could probably do 28mm since I enlarged them)
16-17 inch wig (Monique human hair and one from Parabox)
Newborn and 0-3 month baby clothes
Size 2 baby shoes

I also followed ao_ame0321 on Twitter’s tips to joint her hands so they’re very fun now. She’s also super fun to dress since I can pick up $2 baby clothes when I go by the thrift store.

I was fortunate to be able to snag both parts of this modded Minifee Tika at once from different sellers! I thought this head had a really appealing look but I didn’t want to get a floating head that was old FL tan and have to find a matching body. Luckily, a matching old tan body popped up. This doll has intense knife cat energy and similar vibes to older CP sculpts like Breakaway which I love. For the faceup I went with a similar vibe to the concepts I abandoned on Soony and I think it suits them better.

Oops I almost missed this girl! So, I had the old F60 body with Delf limbs (Soony’s leftovers hybrid) and wanted a head to pair up with my Soony. I thought over a lot of options and actually picked up an old Elfdoll Soah head originally, but I found that I didn’t like how she looked with big ol’ 9-inch-head, 20mm-eye-wearing Soony. In my heart I knew the sculpt I had in mind was a Volks 4 Sisters. I ended up picking up a whole Megu from Dollyteria because she cost pretty close to what I’ve seen the heads go for on DoA. She’s a lovely mold I always liked, but she’s also a particularly good scale/style match for Soony. I’m going for a sweet frail goth/scary angel handmaiden kinda vibe with the two of them but I’m still trying to pin them both down.

I haven’t done too much with her since she arrived, besides sueding and styling… she has a Volks faceup, so she hasn’t been at the top of the queue, although I don’t like the faceup.

I’m almost through all the dolls! This girl is a Serenade Doll Charlotte SP. She has fun proportions, 1/3 height with a 5-6 inch head. She looks like roughly the proportions of my mature ¼ scale dolls, but taaaaaaall. She’s quite beautifully sculpted, but the details are kind of hard to make out with her translucent resin. I’d like to go in and give her some detailed blushing sometime. Her company faceup is beautiful but I’ve just added a little shading around the nose without sealing so far.

Oldest one I have is 7/6/2007 (only the doll on the right was mine):

I picked up this nice Fairyline Minifee boy body hoping that Tennant or Wes could use it, but it was way too small for both of them. However, what I did have was the extra sleeping head that Dollshe sent with my Saint. I was interested in modding the eyes open to look a bit more like the faceplate Saint with the smaller eyes, and I thought the proportions on the MNF body were really good. I made the wig from a wigcap I’d rejected for my first Saint’s wig because it was too thick, so the wig is kinda bulky but he has a lot of drama.
