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!

Once I was actually nearly finished with my OC dolls, but not off my OC dolls kick, naturally I started thinking about shelling more OCs. King had been in the back of my head for a while, but I never come across any Project Doll Parts that seemed like they would work for her. When I realized the scale that Daniel and Tennant had turned out, though, I realized… hmm, that’s about FID size. And Iplehouse is a great aesthetic match for a Barbie like King. And when I went looking, I found a perfect combination of sculpt and color for her on the DoA marketplace, so that was that.

I made her wig pretty quickly, but I put off redoing her faceup because the Iplehouse one was perfectly nice. My first redo attempt, in December 2020, was just bad! Sometimes it’s just not working with you. I gave it another try slowly over this spring/summer and I’m much happier with the result. She’s gorgeous and she poses… enough, but I hate the Iplehouse hips, haha.

Also from late 2019 to Summer 2020, here’s Tennant 2.0, which I worked on alongside Daniel. His head sculpt is a lot more refined compared to the first version, and more appropriately scaled. Like Daniel, he’s printed on my Anycubic Photon, primed, and airbrushed. I think it’s cool to see how much I’ve improved at faceups as well! I did go back and darken his brows a bit when I replaced his eyes. I’m very pleased that these two look good together now.

Daniel 2.0! I worked on him (the head + wig, the body is unchanged) from late 2019 through mid 2020. I refined the sculpt slightly and printed it out on an Anycubic Photon resin 3D printer this time. I didn’t do much sanding, just primed and airbrushed the head. The faceup went a lot better this time as well. I made him a wig from some mohair I had custom dyed on Etsy, but I think I’ll make a separate post about wigs later. I’m quite proud of how he turned out.

After I made the Tennant BJD, I had to make Daniel, but he was a much bigger project because I knew that I couldn’t get a body with the right body type (ESPECIALLY not in ¼ size). He was a work in progress through a lot of 2019.

I created the torso sculpt starting with an open source character creation addon for Blender (Manuel Bastioni or something like that? It wasn’t available anymore last I checked.) but I modified/resculpted it quite a bit. The head, like Tennant’s, was done in Sculptris then Blender. I finished the pieces the same way as Tennant’s head… it was just more pieces and a lot more work. I also put some heavy gloss around the joints to protect the paint under the final matte sealant coat, and all the pieces are sueded with real suede very generously. None of the joints have chipped yet.

I used the limbs from the Resinsoul Tang body Tennant was on before and I got some ¼ Dollshe 28M hands. He’s kind of similar in measurements to a DearSD or “Big Baby” doll. I’ve since created an updated head (I didn’t even finish the wig for this one, haha) but the body is still the same.

3D printed Tennant BJD, mk 1, from 2018! He was originally made for a Resinsound Tang body with Dollshe hands, then I got him an Akagidoll body later. He was sculpted by me in Sculptris and finished in Blender. I printed him on my Monosprice Maker Select Plus and finished the head with putty, spray can primer, lots of sanding, and a terrible thick coat of Krylon spray paint. His hard cap wig is saran and very much glued in place, haha.

I’m still pretty proud of him honestly, but I made a version with a refined sculpt, smaller head, and resin print later.

My fashion Saint, Dennis (aka, uh, Saint, I’m very creative). I ordered him in October 2016 and recieved him in September 2017. He’s one of the few dolls I didn’t mod around that time. I like him a lot! I always wanted a Saint but 70cm is too big for me.
