Dolls are at the post office 👀 if they go out for delivery today I will scream

It’s still early so there’s a chance! Otherwise, I’ll probably get them on Monday. Still no idea when the wigs will get here, but I’ll be able to start on their faceups this week if weather permits

my imomodolls have finally shipped and should be here in around 10 days! To celebrate, I did another pass at their faceup mockups and am way happier with these. I might still make some tweaks or do another pass before I settle on them, but we're looking much better now =w= I've also ordered some wigs but they might take a month or so to ship, so I have plenty of time to ruminate.

For the tan hack-A head, I'm not set on how I'm going to approach painting the mouth until I've seen it in person.

I did my first pass at faceup ideas for the imomo boyz last night, starting with the HACK-B head before working on the chocolate HACK-A head.

I'm not 100% sure what to do with his mouth yet, nor am I certain this is the art style I want to go with for them, but it's a good place to start! I couldn't help but laugh while working on this and looking at their big bald heads...

On that note, I spent a while looking at wig options for them, but wasn't able to find anything i totally loved that wasn't out of stock, so I started researching how to make a wig instead. I have some experience with modifying cosplay wigs, so making something from wefts isn't the most intimidating prospect, and this way I get to be a control freak about how their hair is styled ^_^

I'm also planning on making their eyes myself with either glass cabochons or polymer clay and UV resin. I have some 12mm glass lying around from a previous art doll project, but imomodoll recommends 14 mm eyes for their 1/6 heads, so we'll just have to wait and see when they arrive. I want to see what painting the eyes with watercolor will look like, I hope to achieve a soft, subtle look with them.

Shoes will be the hardest thing to source, I think, but I'm comfortable making the rest of their clothes, which will consist of conical hats, simple tunics, and stockings for now (think stereotypical gnome clothes.) I'd like to find them some little boots when I can. Eventually I'd like to have more clothing options for them, but I'm trying my very best not to put the cart before the horse, so to speak.

Welcome To My Web Page

I'm new to the vinyl doll hobby!

Right now, Re, who arrived recently in a UFdoll blind box, is my only doll. She practices skateboarding while she waits for some more friends to get here.

I have an Alphinaud DDSB on preorder, as well as two imomodoll 1/6 blank dolls on the way. I started this blog as a place to keep a log of my projects as I embark on the journey into doll land.
