The dorklets in…Little Allison’s Sleepover II!

Silencitx has an idea for the sleepover. She calls Little Allison and then goes to buy candy at the Body Shop.

Silencitx is a Mattel Nutcracker and Four Realms Clara head, repainted and rehaired by me, on an Obitsu 24 body. Store clerk is played by Hot Toys Princess Leia from Star Wars A New Hope or whatever it’s called these days.

The Body Shop is played by two roomboxes made by Bitty House. Most of the furniture is from Mattel Monster High Coffin Bean sets, either G1 or G3. Most of the drinks and snacks are either from Mattel Monster High G3 dolls or G3 Coffin Bean.

After several attempts, I finally have an acceptable Tang Dynasty round collar robe. In blue, which 5000 Years of Chinese Costumes says denotes officials of the eight or ninth rank.

Especially helpful was this article:

The photo of the tan robe from the Nara Shosoin Reposity was the only extant Tang garment that showed garment construction information, like how the arms are attached, that I have been able to find. (And trust me, I've spent months looking at Tang Dynasty costumes online.)

All hand sewn. I still need to work on getting my stitches smaller and more even. And the collar is a bit too large. Hopefully, when he is upgraded to a seveth rank official and gets a new green robe, I will be a better seamstress.

His futou is felt, dampened with water and white craft glue and molded over household items. When dry, it holds its shape.

a gift custom gal and her room!!

all her clothes (except one top and one skirt and one pair of shoes aaaandone small purse that the doll originally came with) are bespoke!

her furniture as well was hand crafted (or dismantled from her box and repurposed)!!

ARCANE | 1/6 Dolls, customization

Took me a while to finish this because the coat was a nightmare, and it's not my best work but ahhh, it's finally (mostly finished). One day I might 3d print the hammer and color it to finish the look.

Seriously it sucks that there very little merch for Arcane that isn't about Jinx. There are so many cool characters.

This cheap, hideous, bad-textured Ken tuxedo doesn’t close up over Bobbie’s butt, and the pants…broke. (It makes her look kind of James Bond, though, especially with the gloves.)

However, there’s hope, because people are always making patterns for doll clothes and I need to sew a jacket or two anyway. Just gotta find it.

It’s taken years but I’m finally good at button up shirts

[capsensislagamoprh]

Every two weeks I am going to (hopefully) get a bag room with custom doll made, then put it up for sale. Why? Because 1: I like to make these things. 2: I only have so much room. 3: money. I gots bills to pay! The first project? Well, you’ll see when it comes together. Lets get started! This is a Disney Store Snow White doll. (Thanks @maleficentmrsofallevil​ !) Thing is, look at those hands! It’s gonna take me a bit to find hands to replace those.

I mean I can stand the lack of torso articulation, but the hands... So I’ll save this body and use it later when I get hands that work for it.

I’m going to use this body. Pale enough to match Snow White’s skin. Not that she’ll *be* Snow White when I’m done. Whole point of OoaK is to make something new, right?

I mean, look at this color match in the first place. To yellow. This is better for another head. A last look at the hair and face before I acetone it off.

The dorklets in…Little Allison’s Sleepover III!

Little Allison calls Ethancitx, who has some trouble finding the phone. He goes to get some cosmetics from his older sister Little Meghna’s room, but is caught by Little Meghna. Oh no, where is Little Meghna taking Ethancitx?!

Ethancitx is a custom 3D sculpted, painted, and haired sculpt by me on an extremely hybridized body. Little Meghna is a Mattel Barbie Fashionista partially repainted by me and rehaired with a wig, on a Spin Master Liv body.

Little Meghna likes team sports and particularly likes to run. She is, however, very sarcastic, and she doesn’t think much of motivational quotes and inspirational sayings. I made her posters with free Canva templates.

Tang Dynasty swordsman for hire/personal bodyguard. The underskirt was easy, I'd bought 6" pleated black chiffon edging and just gathered it a little more and added a waist band and hook & eye closure. The swordsman outfit is made from ai pressed paper fabric bag and hot glued together. I made the Tang era futo (hat) out of thin felt molded into shape using various household items as forms. The sword is from Ancient Blacksmith Shop on Aliexpress and the under garments are Ken karate set made by OnlyDollThings on Etsy. The doll is Mattel BTS RM Idoll, with a bit of face tweaking to make him more individual.

Affordable plastic BJD!

I wanted to share this because I think it seems really cool- I have to say right off the bat I don't own this product so I can't vouch for the quality, but I know the seller KikaGoods is reliable and I did order one, so I'll post a review when it arrives!

In the meantime-- this is a blank PVC/ABS 1/6-scale bjd from the brand LuckyDoll, and it's currently on sale for $30 USD!! The real game changer here in my opinion though- she has a headcap, so you can give her real wigs instead of sculpted hair like most of these affordable blind-box bjds have! That's so exciting to me! I'm so excited to get my hands on her and customize her!

I believe her price is going to increase in the future and this is currently a preorder deal, but I suspect it'll only go up by 10-20 dollars MAX because the blind-box fullset is 63usd. Also there are probably other places to order this doll because KikaGoods isn't the only place to sell LuckyDoll products, Kika is just the one I'm familiar with.

more realistic adult proportions

I'm including these even though they're action figures because if someone wanted to swap the heads, I think the bodies would be a fun and unique choice for a custom doll

there are actually lots of interesting articulated action figures that have customization potential!

[tokillamockingbird427]

I'm looking at like every single 1:6 scale military action figure I can find a link to because I want a Logan doll. Give me him... I can customize it, I just need a base.

God it would be so fun to dress him up oml... have I ever mentioned I fucking love dolls? They're just nice. Anyone know who Dollightful is? Yeah I fucking adore her. MyFroggyStuff also but I haven't wanted a lot of their stuff in a minute.

My MYou Bettina male, mature tiny BJD, with his new eye mods! I had to redo those sooner than I had hoped, because I learned that the plastic putty is not a permanent solution for modding tiny heads, sadly for me. I got a new batch of Aves Apoxie Sculpt, so I want to use as much of it as I can, before it gets too old to work with. Hopefully, I will remember to put it in the freezer this time, before it does go beyond saving. DX

I am supper happy with how these mods turned out. I still could have smoothed out a lot of the shape as a whole, particularly at the corners of either side of both eyes. However, working on tiny heads, even with opened eyes, that are much larger than true 1:6 scale action figures. Is still a huge pain in the lower back! I love this tiny dude regardless; I love him so much more each time I work on him some more! I look forward to completing something else, based on Ken Kaneki for him, since he is my fan-art doll based on him. I just want to keep on taking photos of him, even in crappy clothes, or no clothes! Lol! I find him incredibly beautiful, even with my crap-fest of a repaint job and mods! (:

I took a whole bunch of equally crappy photos, because I am super in-love with this tiny doll! I already loved him enough to purchase him, but now I am over the moon! I know I love narrower eye shapes the best, but I kind of thought Bettina already had narrower eyes. I am still wondering if I should have gone with Alan, despite me loving Bettina's mouth shape better.... >___<;;; Not regretting going with Bettina, just wondering. n_n;;

He's wearing the same top I can't recall who I made it for, but I feel it was for my MH Invisi Billy custom. It's a great fit on him, and I quite like it. He's also wearing the five wigs I've made for him so far, and I'll probably need to try to make yet another one, that's more anime-accurate. Try, is the keyword.

Big 1970s-ass helmet for Bobbie is done. Kind of. Gotta find a big cable to plug into the back.

And then I need to get a cooling vest, work on her cooling suit, and finally build the Goliath suit so this isn’t just MechWarrior Bobbie (which has been a fun side project on this and has helped me figure a few things out, but maybe should’ve come later?)
