PROGRESS!
some new dolls just got done with their painting! Here's some bits from the process The head shapes are more oblong this time, with a cute little cheek ridge Hot new strat: for perfectly sized and placed eyes, I cut out my shape in a thin sheet of craft foam and stamped them into the head. Did ...
Beginning of clowns
Today I worked on clowns. Yay!
Sculpture progress!
Hope y'all enjoy her. This is a bit of a test, I'm enjoying this a lot though! I think more sculptures are in my future
New sculpture WIP
Not super sure where this is all going yet, but check it out!
FIRST LOOK: NEW DOLLS
Got their heads mostly finished!
Multimedia PNGtuber part 1 done!
All sculpted! Just gotta actually do the whole, you know, -tuber part!
HAIR! for Mettaton!
I start by cutting a big handful of lengths of thick acrylic yarn. I knot them around a dowel, flat iron them, then start brushing them out with a slicker pet brush. You'll lose a lot of fibers, but keep it around for stuffing. Above is before and after brushing. I cut the straightened yarn o...
METTATON EX progress!
Not much to say about this one, other than I'm obsessed with the hands. These are gonna be HUGE Y'ALL!!! I'm so excited to see him come alive, I might start painting when I get back to town Sunday! I can hear Death By Glamour every time I look at this sculpt!
About to start some bodies!
Guys. The sheep and goat turned out so freaking good I might explode. I hope the bodies will turn out good too!!
Done painting sheep and goat
These things are freaking cute. Just gotta do some drilling into their heads, which I'm nervous to start haha
Beginning of little goat and sheep
These are a little bit of an experiment! I've been wanting to make something like these guys for a while, and here's my start!Still recovering, but back at my desk!
Some plans!
Two things about me you probably know: I don't typically plan ahead when I make dolls, and I got a hysterectomy on Thursday. These two things together is making it really hard to have anything to show you guys! But I wanted to get my next art doll plans out of my head: some frilly little porcela...
MORE BAT CLOTHES
combined these into one cuz it wasn't too exciting Back at it again with a basic tight fitting shirt and a rolled fabric collar. For this one, I glued strips of lace hem tape in place for underwear This one is getting overalls. I make the front panel by hemming the edges to a nice block, and a...
Bat wings and one done!
Starting with the pink one, I give her some socks, simple cuffed tubes To make them tube socks, instead of painting, I take a thick needle and embroidery thread, knotting it in the back and wrapping it around twice for each stripe. Short was simple- two tubes for the arms, and the torso portion s...
Bat bodies + new torso method
Skeletons. You know the drill Wrapped the midsection in yarn waste And now for my new method of making torsos. I start with a regular block of fleece, then pinch it around the waist, and cut slots to that pinch point, then sew it to the body I stuff yarn waste in to the top to give mass to the c...
Bats all together so far!
These things turned out so freakin cute. I'm gonna be keeping the white one to use as a reference to make more, I love how these little ladies are turning out!
Bat ears and hair
I take those foam forms from last time and glue them down to some fleece, I cut them close but leave a tiny bit of room, where I hand stitch the pieces together for a smooth edge I drive sequin pins like nails through the ears and into the head piece- after it was fixed in place, I realized I di...
Bat dolls (mostly) painted!
First off: ears!Trial and error is the name of the game. I sketched the shape I thought I wanted on paper, cut it out, held to the head and adjusted from there. Moved on to foam when I felt I had something good! Ended up with 3 tabs as attachment points- two on each corner, and one to pull it b...
LETS GO BATTY! Sculpts done!
You know the drill. Made some foil balls, covered with a few layers of clay, and sculpted on a chin Look at their darling faces! Noses were attached with oven bake clay adhesive. Heads are finished off with a neck hole stabbing For hands we're going with some big grabby claws, like my zom...
PIP (poodles in progress)
Lots of experimenting with these! I've made hand and shoe molds and so far things are going well!
First look: Raccoon
I FINALLY finished this raccoon doll! He's been sitting around in parts along with a skunk. First finished doll of the new studio!
FINALLY sculpting again
This one's getting made into a video for TikTok, so watch out for that!Edit: that's a lie! TikTok is a terrible app and after trying to redo the video twice it fucked up in different ways so I'm probably giving up on making the video!
2nd clown girl FINISHED!
Started off with giving the thighs white covers to act as bare skin, plus underwear since she'll be wearing a short dress Tubes to act as thigh high socks For the dress, I glued the front and back pieces into place then sewed the sides together. You can't see the stitches with this fabric,...
One clown girl FINISHED!
I got my bodies whipped up- they're kinda different styles, but hey, it's all jazz baby I needed her to have some skin showing, so I cover what's needed with stretchy white fabric I cut out a pants pattern piece I assemble the pants, and add a star shape to the white leg. I put them ...
Clown girls hair!
I'm giving this one yellow hair pulled into pigtails, so I painted her scalp yellow I glued pink wefts around the hairline for streaks Then place yellow wefts around the hairline. Just one layer is all that's needed for the hairstyle I wrap wefts around a bit of wire to make ponytails I glu...
