i'm happy to introduce my very first ball jointed doll to nashikouen, miss sheryl nome dollfie dream (´人｀) i have been wanting a volks bjd for many years now, and my lovely boyfrien got her for me this month! i personally prefer vintage super dollfies, but i found her for a good deal on ebay and i think her face mold is gorgeous for an anime style doll. i took her out of the box just to make sure she was ok and that she came with all of her clothes, but since then i have packaged her back up until i can clean my room a bit to give her the proper display she deserves ヽ(´ー｀)ノ stay tuned, i will post lots of pics of her once she is settled into her new home and hopefully will get her a new outfit and wig soon...!
>>272 she looks like this with no cloths. putting her clothes on and off are easy, but to put on the jacket you need to take off her lower arm parts, put her arm nubs into the sleeve, and then try and re-connect the lower arm part through the sleeve (´～`) maybe there's a better way to do it, but that's what i thought of. >>273 just stalk ebay 24/7 and then haggle with the seller (・∀・) try to look for dolls that have slight defects or imperfections, because it greatly reduces their value even if it can simply be hidden by clothing. because the sheryl i have has a couple of dye stains on her torso and thigh, i got her for $300 instead of $800 !!!
>>274 is the bjd made of a special plastic and is there an openning in the head to remove the eyes? i want to know everything ヽ(´ー｀)ノ perhaps that will give me a base on what i want for my first bjd!! ＼（＾Ｏ＾）／
>>275 dollfies are made of something called "soft vinyl". they feel lightweight and a bit soft to the touch, but they can still withstand pressure from pulling when you want to remove/replace body parts. and yes, you can remove the eyez! you take off the top half of their head (as u can see in picrel, there is a line running around the entire head, the top half comes off) and you can then see inside teh skull... (´￢`) the eyes would be secured by special putty, safe for soft vinyl. you can remove the putty, take out eyeballz, put in other eyeballz and secure them with new putty ヽ(´ー｀)ノ
>there is a line running around the entire head, the top half comes off) and you can then see inside teh skull... (´￢`) kowai..
Hi all... does she count as doll? I hope so, I like her very much. Please share anecdotes and pictures of your own dolls of this style... there seem to be alot of similar dolls made to look like Touhou Project chara, which are all very cute and would be appreciated here too. Thank you.
all dolls figures and cute physical anime count as a doll
dolls can count if you are willing to teach them. all of my plushies can count to ten, but only because i have been patient with teaching them (´人｀)
finally , my time to shine ....... : O ) figures ? BJDs? blythes? sylvanian families ? other random niche doll models and brands ? doesnt matter..... ^____^ (etokochan nurse costume produced by marmit)
>>79 the sheep r courtesy of alex :o3
>>81 omg RLY that's crazy
the nurse dolls are really cute, do u know of adjacent dolls/brands of them? i collect calico critters, but only the rabbits hehe
I don't have any atm.. but i always adored how Ricca-chan dolls look like... the dolls are so cute and stylish.. Currently the only dolls i have are gen 1 & gen 3 monster high dolls, A project mc2 doll, some disney dolls, and some vintage barbie dolls ^__^
Anyone here into Gunpla? Here are mine. ヽ(´ー｀)ノ I had more, but I lost one, and one fell. Both of these have some random other parts I had lying around on them -- the one on the right is 99% just an original Gundam, but the one on the left had this super flimsy and hard to pose wing unit that I replaced with the wings from Fellini's Gundam in Gundam Build Fighters. Sadly, that one is snapped in half and I don't know where it is, I put it aside to glue together ages ago, and now I don't know what happened since..... aaaaaaa. Both are unpainted since I don't have any real place that I can paint. Living in a condo sucks. ( ´ω`;) I really should buy more. ( ´ω`)
my gloss came on teh mail and it had pictures of gunpla it seems
aaaaaaaaaaaa it's so good
every time I see a super-pretty gunpla I really wish I had a proper work area so I could paint and the lot (;´Д`) this is stunning work (´人｀)
ｷﾀ━━━(・∀・)━━━!!
i might fallow the sculpting book and make the character there before making nau or heyuri tan or aroe or alva or any other things you guys want me to try and make. one issue i had was the armature, its take a bit of skill or know how to bend the aluminum wire to how you want, and then connectinng them i used super glue and masking tape... witch i prob should have sanded it some and used my soldering iron to really stick em togrther. for anon wanting to know the clay i am using la doll. but really most air dry clay would be perfect, so long as u see jp ppl use it? check back later and i will tell u how the clay is when i use it. it says stone powered clay. most japs u see on YouTube use airdry clay like i mentioned. here is a comment i read "I use a wide variety, i use mr.clay, i also use padico they are both air dry clay, i also use epoxy clay like apoxie." padico band one is the LA doll one i going to use one thing i think is good about the air dry clay is no kiln and you can make the body first and wait for it to dry and then make cloth and wait for it to dry. one thing i don't understand is how to section off parts... but in the book they literally just use a saw and cut off the arms and legs.. but it should help sanding and cutting out cracks to refill with clay. also painting, and sectioning off is good to make molds and creating a marketable figure. in the book they have a thick grey primer. (iirc mr surfacs 1000) and it will help show imperfections to sand and since its thick i believe also fill in sometoo
i attempted to retry armature and make body again with left over clay here >>146 i made the distance between legs and arms to long.. not only that but old clay dried super quick so there was quite a bit of cracks forming, the way i did the armature also sucked and the connected pieces kept sliding around and not staying put. so the shoulder is not centered. i bought special solder to test soldering armature instead of glue and tape. i will do garage kit soon.
>>147 this is the new shape of it. i shave a lot of it down and resized some things
this was from yesterday. i did no work on it tonight.. besides shaving the back to make it more curved
bending wires by hand is a hassle so i like using pliers that twist the wires so it looks clean and professional like something like this
i didn't exactly get and figures or plushies but i got a lot of books and other collectable things. i was expecting the shipping to be worse as it originally said 100$ after consolidating the packages to put it all into one box. i am so happy for the things i got.
>>97 You want to use a smaller service for that. The big boys aren't exactly concerned with you saving money.
I got a strike on my Mandarake account for some manga sets because I forgot to only use SAHRA warehouse and they slapped me with £200 shipping on £60 worth of goods! Not to mention this stupid island will charge me an additional "import fee", which is where you pay a guy at the Royal Mail sorting office to open your package, move everything around, and re-seal it...
>>185 weh? I've ordered a buncha stuff over here without trouble from Royal Mail, except one time a few years back... i never had to pay import fees even for huuuuge stuff
>>193 You want it declared as 40 GBP or under. If it's under 140 GBP, you'll be paying a little, but it still won't be bad.
has any one ever made there own plushies? i have had many ideas on ones i wanted to make but never knew how and worried they would come out bad it seems like ADVANCE craft work that takes a background of being a female who has been making bracelets since they where 7 or took a sewing class. i wanna make a aroe plushie!
I kind of want to give plushmaking a try myself. I guess you'd look up a youtube tutorial and follow along to not just stumble blindly, but I have no recommendations or suggestions. could do something with felt too for easiness's sake ヽ(´∇`)ノ
i maybe cant say anything , cuz i am kind of this demographic >who has been making bracelets since they where 7 or took a sewing class. (both) but sewing + plushies + everything else 'crafty' is a lot easier than it looks ^_^ depends on if u prefer machine sewing or hand sewing. by hand is easier (usually) but machine is a lot stronger but more expensive. if people actually cared i wuld luv 2 talk more about sewing here ! maybe post sum patterns. ^_^ i have been wanting 2 sew lately , maybe i can chronicle
salva art in any form sounds fun!! i would love to see patterns!
Hotaru did it and she was 10, you've no ixcuse
gonna try doing this grage kit. i didnt know this was from a really gay anime.. i just got it bc it was super cheap. i took all the pieces out and dumped them into a ziplock back filled with degreaser. as these are resin casted, it will still have the grease used to have it break away from the mold it was in. naut doing that will result in primer not sticking or sticking but months later flake off. some people say when shaving down/sanding out seam lines that it will put resin dust in teh air and that is bad bad bad to breath in..i dont have a resporator nor gonna do it outside as i dont think its that bad, maybe i will wet sand it so it less bad. i do all of teh work in my room so it might be bad. i do have a hose conected to the outside and can suck with it pretty good so i might use that and show it off too (＾Д^)
naut a good idea. i couldnt sleep last night. maybe its bc of toxic resin.. idk prob also should naut do it next to bed
you're braver than me there's a lot of stuff I don't do because I don't have any kind of mask or vent system...
I wonder if OP finished it?
have not. i got to spraying it with primer and fucked it up as it fell and was to thick...
she came.. naut tama chan but its from same set
That hand
squishy and soft looking
do you have any fav artist or figure sculpture? i like pop's artwrok so much. i like blocky feet and long dresses that are lolita fashion. big comfy clothing.anything that is old school scene style. i miss old anime look.
blocky feet like moetan tho i guess that fits into scene style or maybe gothic platform shoes
I dunno if I have a favorite artist. That being said, I've loved Murata ever since seeing his work in Groove On Fight for Saturn. He draws a ton of rugged guys and cute girls and has great backgrounds. Some of his work is a little much for nashi (like POP) but it's generally stylish and tasteful.
well my clay came before my garage kits... so i guess i will make ugly figures first. i bought mostly Japanese stuff like the clay, primer, gloss, finisher, masking tape, putty. i just wish my figures will turn out like one on left... it was a little difficult finding what type of clay and other stuff to get from literally knowing noting and failing art in highschool. recently my friend graduated from art school so i am going to pay them for concept art of nau to better model stuff
maybe... its naut worth it if you are not wanting to get the Japanese suff, my Europe friend who graduated art school even said "pretty fucking hard, I made this little guy once(file). it was pretty easy because he is tiny and doesn't really have limbs XD but I tried to do a russia chan, now that was difficult. you gotta have legit tools for figurines" they also said they wish they had metal rods they use for support and "use those that the jp use. many of the clays are straight ass" but yeah to get my hands on the airdry clay teh japs use was like 20$ for about a pound. and pack of sculpting spatula use in the video was about 20$ too, (could have honestly spent like 7$ but wanted the same tools) then the brushes... masking tape.. primers.. metal wire.. acrylic. primer. varnish, gloss, pastels, masking tape. and prob a set of other 6 tools i bought but forgot to mention. it cost really money (;´Д`) putty, clips, glue, more putty, potrolum jelly, pin vice, sand paper.., acrylic paint thinner. but its all bought! so i will soon be making a figure. start simple nau and then do heyuritan and salva. and if it still sucks then its okay as its OC ヽ(´∇`)ノ
running into a issue with the wire i bought. i got galvanised steel wire for teh grage kits but it is to strong for making sculping. i need aluminum witch is softer and more light weight. i can still bend the galvanized wire but wow. its a pain
i did order better wire and a cutting/sculpting mat. (it was jut a regular craft mat that JP said works as good. after studying mats. just having glass like surface is absolute best for clay. but craft cut mats works as good,. tho i dont have a rolling pin （ ´,_ゝ`）) >>132 please wait until i try. its hard to resist. but as a person who cant even draw. -> https://oekaki.nashikouen.net/potiboard.php?res=3 https://oekaki.nashikouen.net/potiboard.php?res=17 https://oekaki.nashikouen.net/potiboard.php?res=28 https://oekaki.nashikouen.net/potiboard.php?res=175 you should wait untill i make at least 2-3 figures.... if i do not deliver 3. then take ur best judgement. as links above is what i do compared to time and quality.... as i never done art seriously until nashi...
>>135 fair enough what brand of clay did you get (say it after you've started working with it though)
i bought about 5 different garage kits. 3 of witch are ones i absolutely CAN NOT fuck up, one being OP pic. is there any important things i should worry about? i spent about 160$ or 170$ on just materials alone. one thing i belive i am gonna need is masking_ putty and that weird eraser thing people use on the eyes. i kinda have a advantage in some ways as i have a microscope. (that i yet to have posted on /unix/ due to waiting for a lens) teh long game is to be able to sculpt and create my own garage kits. having a heyuri-tan&aroe&nau figure
>>113 i mean i got one figure that was 15$ in the set of 4. i really belive i can do good my first time. except for the eyes. i studyed even harder nao! 3 hours of watching youtube and not just 2!(・∀・) i think i can maek it really nice. and if i dont. it will stilll be better then some stuff i seen online.
its nao being shipped! using ecms instead of sea mail, bc i also got a little glass cup i think you guys would love!
>>117 nice! how bad was the shipping cost vs sea mail?
it was like 10ish dolkaes more so i got the better one bc it has glass ib it
share cute figures dolls and plushies from teh gr8 2ch and stuff
