<h4>
A slight change of plan...</h4>
Ok I'll admit it - when it comes to ideas, I'm a bit of a magpie! This means that sometimes (often) when I'm in the middle of making something I change my whole angle...<br />
<br />
What happened? Well, instead of Ghoulia becoming an interpretation of the goddess of war Adrestia, she's turned into something a bit different...<br />
<br />
From this...<br />

<b>So what happened? </b><br />
<br />
If any of you have ever heard of Warhammer, you might know what I'm talking about when I say that Ghoulia turned into a Daemonette of Slaanesh.<br />
<br />
And if you don't know Warhammer, you might think 'A who of whatnow?'<br />
<br />
So, Chris and I have dabbled a bit in painting and occasionally playing with Warhammer miniature figure (I know, nerd-alert!). But they do some really cool fantasy creature designs and I suddenly thought, 'Wow, wouldn't one of these miniatures be cool as a bigger doll, in my own interpretation of their designs?' So that's what happened.<br />
<br />
But what is a Daemonette of Slaanesh? Well, you've heard of the four horsemen of the apocalypse: War, Death, Famine and Pestilence, right? The Warhammer story has its own version of these made into the 4 gods of Chaos: Khorne, Tzeentch, Slaanesh and Nurgle.<br />
<br />
Slaanesh in this universe is a god of hunger, not for food but for pleasure and hedonism, and the daemonettes are the sort of lusty creatures that could convince a person to give in to absolute pleasures. A bit like a siren I suppose, but way uglier - so I wanted to make mine more beautiful.<br />
<br />
And lore aside, I just think the concept is really cool - a mix of sexy, fierce and dark, with black, rich purples and silver. Plus lots of swirling symbols, which is what I tried to achieve with the carvings into her armour. This part wasn't easy and took me ages - all the black symbols and shapes you see on the armour aren't just painted on, but carved in.<br />
<br />
Apoxie can handle being carved and sanded, but nevertheless it was a fiddly task. I'm really happy with how it turned out though, so I think it was worth it.<br />

<br />
I also added some thin leather straps because I didn't want to just glue the armour onto the body. So the armour pieces are partially removable, if you were to unslot the hand and knee joints. But I'd rather just leave her limbs where they are now!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>What did I learn on this project?</b><br />
<br />
The main thing I learnt is that heavy, cumbersome heads can be pretty tricky to deal with! Despite the spiral being sculpted around a polystyrene base, it's still pretty heavy and this poor girl can't stand up without some extra support. I probably should have introduced a wire running through the neck joint to help her head pose more reliably, but hey, always trying new things means always learning new things! ☺<br />

<h4>
Dolls In Armour - something we want to see more of?</h4>
Well, my answer has to be YES! I would like to see more dolls in armour, simply because it’s just so cool. Like these dolls Mattel have released for the upcoming release of the Wonder Woman movie in June 2017.<br />

<br />
Don’t get me wrong, I like pretty dolls, kawaii dolls, fashion and couture dolls, but it’s nice to see something that’s usually confined to the realms of action figures. I love women being represented as warriors, quite simply because it feels empowering. I think the armour can be functional and realistic or fantastical and sexy (or a mix of both, even) because ultimately, I think dolls represent aspects of our imaginations that we wish we could explore in real life. They don't have to always be 100% realistic. (And if you're me then the stranger, the better!)<br />
<br />
Aaaand I think I’m getting a little too deep here...<br />
<br />
Anyway, this is sort of the background motivation for wanting to make Ghoulia into a warrior goddess. So here’s how I’m getting on!<br />
<br />

When I'd finished shaping the head spiral, I had a bit of modelling putty left over, so I thought,"Why don't I use this for the ears, instead of letting it go to waste?"<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Let me share some wisdom with you - don't use up putty for the sake of it on a delicate area. I've already managed to break the ears off while sanding and sculpting other parts, so I really should have left them until last. Now I'll have to do them again. Ah well, you learn by doing don't you? ☺<br />
<br />
I've moulded a more substantial forehead to make her look a little more otherworldly, and I'm really looking forward to getting started on her faceup.<br />
<br />
But before I can even think about that there's plenty more sculpting and so much sanding to do. When you're still learning like I am, it just takes you that bit longer to get the shapes how you want them. Do you know what I'm talking about? If you do - high five! We're in the same boat!<br />
<br />
After tons of sanding, the spiral is looking pretty cool and I've also made a start on molding the armour pieces:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So here's how the chest armour pieces are progressing:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KRBqWdp_mLk" width="560"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
They're a little rough and need smoothing and sanding, but so far so good. In the recessed parts I'm going to add some fine detail swirls and shapes, but I'm planning to use another modelling compound called green stuff for this (which you can buy <a href="https://amzn.to/2WAN0Dm">here</a>).<br />
<br />
If you haven't used it before, it's often used for modelling miniatures like Warhammer, so it's really good for tiny fine detail. What's really cool about it is that it's more rubbery in texture than Apoxie, but because of this it doesn't hold its shape in large surfaces very well. So I'd only use it for smaller pieces.<br />

I've added upper and lower arm pieces and thigh coverings as well. Now I just need to do some shin guards, add details to them all and then I can get started on the shoes, painting the armour pieces and then sewing the fabric and leather. So, not much left to do... only the time-consuming stuff haha! ☺<br />

<br />
Have you ever worked with someone else on a creative project? What about on a doll custom? For me it's been a long time since I collaborated with anyone (about 10 years ago at Art School, come to think of it). And collaborating on a doll custom? Never.<br />
But my hubby Chris and I have set ourselves a new creative challenge - working together on a doll project!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/15/Peinture_Palais_de_Justice_de_Toulouse.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img alt="" class="alignright" height="226" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/15/Peinture_Palais_de_Justice_de_Toulouse.jpg" width="268" /></a><br />
<br />
So what's the project? Well, he's been doing a lot of drawing recently. In some of his drawings, he was exploring how to represent female power and strength. In particular, he was interested in warrior women, and he came across Adrestia, the daughter of Ares - the god of war.<br />
<br />
Adrestia (also known as Nemesis in the Roman pantheon) is 'she who cannot be escaped' - a goddess of just retribution and sublime balance between good and evil. And to restore balance she would go to war, accompanying her father <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ares" title="Ares">Ares</a>.<br />
<br />
I liked the sound of this righteous warrior goddess.<br />
<br />
So when Chris was telling me about her while he was showing me his doodles of his various angelic or demonic, fierce women, I suddenly thought, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool to do a goddess of war as a doll!"<br />
<br />
So I got to work. I'd been wanting to do a Monster High custom - a Ghoulia Yelps that I'd already removed the factory face-up from and started to blush, and this was perfect for it.<br />

We wanted to incorporate the symbol of the ram, because of its aggressive power. We had it in our heads that Ares and Aries were connected in mythology, but as it turns out, <a href="http://www.gods-and-monsters.com/mythology-of-aries.html">that's not the case</a>. Aries is the Ram whose fleece Jason and the Argonauts had to obtain to prove himself to be the rightful king of Thessaly and has nothing to do with Ares the god of war.<br />
<br />
No matter. For our interpretation with a massive spiral head-sculpt, it'll look awesome :D<br />

<br />
<br />
Here's what I did to get started:<br />
<br />
I cut the back of the head off with a scalpel blade and pulled out any remaining hair from the inside of the head with tweezers.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBml31tW2hvmjl86OiAuM3NJmk98hhC_DmY2LX4yOVviuQ88N02B2tGmZ9qawAcjU663Bc-Y2cqiRHndI-n1k76LT2n_RxLPUs8FwGJDUiJLp6lAg_fO6rZfQ_lq_eaXwWAuTnpruMLpI/s1600/IMG_1980.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="899" data-original-width="1600" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBml31tW2hvmjl86OiAuM3NJmk98hhC_DmY2LX4yOVviuQ88N02B2tGmZ9qawAcjU663Bc-Y2cqiRHndI-n1k76LT2n_RxLPUs8FwGJDUiJLp6lAg_fO6rZfQ_lq_eaXwWAuTnpruMLpI/s320/IMG_1980.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I then wrapped and secured some wire that I'd curled into a spiral shape around the... I don't know what you call that plastic thing on the inside.. but you can see what I mean!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-do8YpcIpJc-cXmguZtaeGVgsk0-21DzuZNFApfD32CqVSjR_8NZIua9FNDcPpQs6L0VVZ8Puy6glZqDM1kCzjWohy32EjG9aa00YwpA_WiPWN4yYSvjJuHA0TSDjPnNJcLREP5tHgx8/s1600/IMG_1981.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="899" data-original-width="1600" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-do8YpcIpJc-cXmguZtaeGVgsk0-21DzuZNFApfD32CqVSjR_8NZIua9FNDcPpQs6L0VVZ8Puy6glZqDM1kCzjWohy32EjG9aa00YwpA_WiPWN4yYSvjJuHA0TSDjPnNJcLREP5tHgx8/s320/IMG_1981.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
What I did next is an important bit if you ever want to sculpt something structural off a doll's head: I added a layer of the modelling compound I use (about 3mm thick) around the whole inside of the head. This is to make the head solid. As you can imagine, trying to build onto the squishy head of a doll would make anything you mould on fall right off!<br />
<br />
Next I started moulding around the outside of the head with the epoxy modelling compound. What I use is Aves Apoxie Sculpt* which you can buy in the <a href="http://amzn.to/2qNIEIl">UK here</a> or in the <a href="http://amzn.to/2pRbIj6">US here</a>. It's a two-part, ari-drying epoxy putty that I really like using, because it's much less brittle than stuff like Milliput, doesn't shrink too much and you can sand it once dry.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>*However - </i><i>some people get an allergic reaction from Aves Apoxie, resulting in cracked skin and swollen eyelids, so </i><i>you </i><i style="text-decoration-line: underline;">must</i> <i>use nitrile gloves (not latex).</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
I wasn't sure how to make it hollow at first, but decided to glue some bits of polysterene I cut into curved shapes around the wire so that I wouldn't be using a ton of Apoxie and so the spiral wouldn't get too heavy.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi26n5azd9NwBo4ho7SfbQ7UhOCsGhIy42Fo0TSSvga9SIYAW_TRDvjHCldd9utlzhGoqKLT6pnBUL6AUtvqToQU1FcznjiNPFboEJo-VtoCiBMbIEFpSbiiW86FDK7mfJUoYqlKefyFRU/s1600/IMG_1983.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="899" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi26n5azd9NwBo4ho7SfbQ7UhOCsGhIy42Fo0TSSvga9SIYAW_TRDvjHCldd9utlzhGoqKLT6pnBUL6AUtvqToQU1FcznjiNPFboEJo-VtoCiBMbIEFpSbiiW86FDK7mfJUoYqlKefyFRU/s320/IMG_1983.jpg" width="179" /></a></div>
<br />
This is as far as I've got for now. The shape of the spiral needs a bit more work now that it's dry, and after that I have a bunch of sanding to do to make it nice and smooth.<br />
In any case, so far so good!<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Adorable right? He appears to be a little less tall than 2B, just like in the game which is great.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A release date hasn't been announced yet, and nor has the price point, but knowing Dollfie I wouldn't expect anything less than £1000. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Which is a minus point for me personally, but understandable for a limited edition production. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">However I'm really, really looking forward to all the photos popping up over the internet of 2B and 9S together once they've both been released - I'm hoping there will be lots of adorable photostories. <i>People of the internet: please make it happen!</i> ☺</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Another thing - this music video collaboration between Square Enix and Japanese rock band Amazarashi is where we caught our first glimpse of 2B as a Dollfie doll.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But this does come with a warning - if you think you'll be freaked out by watching dolls being crushed by heavy machinery (it does pull at the heartstrings for me), then please jump to 6:12 if you only want to see 2B.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit;"><i>Spoiler alert: she also gets crushed </i>:( </span><br />

<h3>
Dear Square Enix - we want more Nier: Automata Dolls and Figures to collect. We NEED them! Please and thank you.</h3>
My current gaming obsession, together with countless other millions of dedicated fans, is Nier: Automata. So who's with me on wishing they could afford to add the Black Box Edition's collector's figure of main character 2B to their roster of dolls and figures Just look how awesomely cool she is!<br />

So while we're pining over 2B looking gorgeous, why don't we take a look at all the other official and fan-made Nier: Automata-inspired dolls and figures that are scooting around the web at the moment.<br />
<em>Plus, on my hunt for these I even found a juicy little teaser from Square Enix about a possible <strong>new 2B figure coming out</strong>, which I'll reveal at the bottom of this post - so keep scrolling and enjoy the view!</em><br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
Dollfie Dream</h4>
Ball-jointed Doll company Dollfie Dream created a special edition 2B for the Square Enix cafe in Tokyo for the release of the game in March. She's sadly not for sale, but hopefully some talented BJD clothing creators out there will feel inspired to create her outfit for us to buy.<br />
If you want to try to create your own, Dollfies do come up on eBay, <a href="https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?ff3=4&toolid=11800&pub=5575288967&campid=5338070906&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fitm%2FVolks-Dollfie-Dream-Lucy-Maria-Misora-BJD-Vinyl-Super-SD-Anime-Obitsu-Smart-Doll-%2F371921874605%3Fhash%3Ditem5698456ead%3Ag%3A9XwAAOSwtZJY81ut">here's one currently available</a>. Alternatively, you can buy similar BJDs from <a href="http://www.junkyspot.com/obindex.html">Junkyspot </a>in the US and <a href="http://www.angelesque.co.uk/">Angelesque </a>in the UK. Both ship internationally and I have safely bought dolls from both.<br />

Smart Doll by @Alphond</h3>
If you like Asian BJDs you need to follow Malaysian-Chinese doll customiser and photographer @Alphond on Instagram. With his own gorgeous interpretation of 2B's outfit, he's photographed her in lots of different settings including backdrops of rusty girders and grey stone walls that really capture the feel of the game.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Again, if you want to try to create your own, you can buy Smart Dolls directly from the <a href="https://shop.smartdoll.jp/">Smart Doll Japan store</a>. They do also come up on eBay from time to time. Alternatively, you can buy similar BJDs from <a href="http://www.junkyspot.com/obindex.html">Junkyspot </a>in the US and <a href="http://www.angelesque.co.uk/">Angelesque </a>in the UK. Both ship internationally and I have safely bought dolls from both.</div>

iDoll by @Puppy52 on Twitter</h3>
This custom iDoll by <a href="https://twitter.com/puppy52/media">@Puppy52</a> is such a good representation of 2B's costume. She posted it as unfinished back in March, so hopefully she'll be posting more progress pictures soon! You can <a href="https://twitter.com/puppy52">follow her</a> on Twitter.<br />

Ready-made 2B Outfit for BJDs</h3>
If you have a BJD that you want to turn into 2B, but don't want to make your own clothing, I found these ready-made clothes on <a href="https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/706-53473-19255-0/1?ff3=4&toolid=11800&pub=5575288967&campid=5338070906&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.ca%2Fitm%2FHandwork-NieR-Automata-YoRHa-2B-No-2-Boots-Costume-for-Doll-BJD-Cosplay-Sa-%2F252846544225%3Fvar%3D%26hash%3Ditem3aded41561%3Am%3AmzkX7utXirDAIc3T-SKU5pg">eBay</a>. They come in a variety of sizes and you can choose to include the boots in your order as well, but you'll need to buy the wig separately. The shop is in Hong Kong, so remember they'll take a while to arrive, especially if they have to clear through customs. But the set does look really pretty and stays true to the design.<br />

They're actually modded wind-up Google Android toys, which you can get <a href="https://shop.googlemerchandisestore.com/Google+Redesign/Lifestyle/Fun/Windup+Android.axd">here</a>.</div>

Distributor: Square-Enix. Manufacturer: Flare. Release Date: To Be Determined. Price: Probably 14k+ yen (approx. $130+ / £100+ / €120+)[/caption]<br />
<br />
This might not look like much to go by, but we do know that they've chosen Flare as the manufacturer, which tells us that the quality of the sculpt will be high, which will of course be reflected in the price.<br />
And this also tells us that judging by Flare's other figures, we can expect 2B to stand somewhere between 21-28cm tall, to be made from PVC and to come with its own stand.<br />
But what will she look like? Well, we can take as a reference their gorgeous <a href="https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?ff3=4&toolid=11800&pub=5575288967&campid=5338070906&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fitm%2FPre-order-FLARE-Rebuild-of-Evangelion-Ayanami-Rei-Figure-24cm-%2F272619189861%3Fhash%3Ditem3f795eb665%3Ag%3ApnYAAOSw03lY5MSS">Evangelion </a>for the kind of standard you can expect:<br />

And we also now know that the sculpt is by Yoshizawa Mitsumasa, who also sculpted this amazing <a href="https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?ff3=4&toolid=11800&pub=5575288967&campid=5338070906&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fitm%2FBayonetta-PVC-Figure-Flare-EMS-15-%2F272549190604%3Fhash%3Ditem3f75329bcc%3Ag%3AgNQAAOSw32lYw223">Bayonetta</a>:<br />

<br />
Exciting huh? Now, I know it's a lot to ask, but if they could create a 9S and A2 as well, that would be wonderful (although I think I can hear my wallet crying at the thought of it!)<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><br /></strong>
<strong>So there we have it - all the Nier: Automata dolls and figures I could find!</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: #ff6600;"><br /></span></strong>
<strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">***UPDATE***</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At the NieR Music Concert last week, figures for both 9S and A2 were announced! 9S is due for a winter 2017 release, however no date has been announced for A2 yet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Look! :D</div>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For Head #2 I wanted to try something a little different.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So I decided to base this head on a cat-like humanoid. This is inspired by a race called the "Cathar" in the massively multiplayer online game "Star Wars - The Old Republic" (or SWTOR) which I had been playing recently.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I thought they looked cool and quite fierce, and I wanted to achieve that look on this head with tiger-like stripes and colours.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">She's not yet finished as I have some more blushing to do and the eyes need to be properly painted. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But once I have done that some better pictures will follow!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Also, I've replaced the Citadel Purity Seal I was using with Humbrol Acrylic Varnish, and I instantly loved it. The finish is more matt, the spray button much easier to press and because the can is smaller, you have much better control. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I think the consistency is less sticky too, so it's a thumbs up from me for Humbrol Acrylic Varnish! (Especially when you can't get hold of Japanese import Mr Super Clear!!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And here's the idea I'm using as inspiration:</span></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh__5LalXK_SdpXGf3-Kmj94dyWvHAVlPWDtJhKVysg5KGTiZRbMa77MS3NVLHRZLY24IhxuTxPrECveodbJCavl7qGyzVRGDNyqmXKWeLgfdJakBXeWWwdWAdJmFKf_ms_Q3MbO-YERas/s1600/Screenshot_2015-01-28_20_46_17_015969.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh__5LalXK_SdpXGf3-Kmj94dyWvHAVlPWDtJhKVysg5KGTiZRbMa77MS3NVLHRZLY24IhxuTxPrECveodbJCavl7qGyzVRGDNyqmXKWeLgfdJakBXeWWwdWAdJmFKf_ms_Q3MbO-YERas/s1600/Screenshot_2015-01-28_20_46_17_015969.jpg" height="200" width="151" /></span></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #741b47;">Cathar from SWTOR</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So there's more work to be done as you can see, especially to the eyes. I'm going to keep the huge irises, but I'm considering making the pupils vertical slits, to make them more cat-like... we'll see!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; mso-themecolor: text2;">It's been a
rather long time since my last post! A variety of life events swinging like a
pendulum between good, bad, ugly and good again pulled me away from my creativity for a
while and I even fell out of love with dolls for a time. For some reason I
judged them, or rather myself, as being childish, 'not proper art' - whatever
that means. But I've come back, and I feel more at home and content in myself
for having done so.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; mso-themecolor: text2;">So without
further waffle, here's what I'm currently working on.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZRV8sp_QSt3Q5tiXDP0P4OBT81LNzh4W4hNKIo2Da_sZY8waoVMfTkHwqzQ-i8dgUstH3cSv_yJgNQ79AvJTM3ewboX6_JGSheGMqth9SnrBE3umPbb-PBYUIjf4mRJhnJsYJL10THVE/s1600/DSCN1508.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZRV8sp_QSt3Q5tiXDP0P4OBT81LNzh4W4hNKIo2Da_sZY8waoVMfTkHwqzQ-i8dgUstH3cSv_yJgNQ79AvJTM3ewboX6_JGSheGMqth9SnrBE3umPbb-PBYUIjf4mRJhnJsYJL10THVE/s1600/DSCN1508.JPG" height="200" width="173" /></a></div>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; mso-themecolor: text2;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; mso-themecolor: text2;">I've set
myself a challenge to work only on heads until I reach about 50 heads. The
point is that practice makes perfect as everyone knows, so I'm working on that.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; mso-themecolor: text2;">I found
that when I tried to make a whole ball-jointed doll from scratch, it was quite
challenging! Although I’d done a bit of sculpting on my degree, I’d never done
anything jointed, where parts are so dependent on each other. I found myself spending
so much time sanding or shaving down, then re-building, then sanding down
again, then remodelling, then sanding again - that it was driving my crazy! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; mso-themecolor: text2;">So I’m
going back to basics. First, getting happy with the head sculpts, then I'll
focus on practising other body parts to ultimately put them all together.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; mso-themecolor: text2;">This is
head #1, at sculpted stage, and sanded. I'm using Apoxie polymer clay which I mentioned
in previous posts and I think is fabulous.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

be casting this head, I've gone ahead an spray painted it with about 4 thin
layers using Montana Acrylic spray paint, which I bought from an art shop.</span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Next for
the blushing. As I don’t have any Mr Super Clear Matte Varnish spray, I've opted
for Citadel Purity Seal as a substitute. It says Satin Finish on the can but to my relief it's come out more matte than I expected.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="color: #741b47;">
</span>
<div>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here's what I'm currently working on - my first human ball-jointed doll!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUJt5LMbCaNr_sbpfWTOIBa5jg5kNIOzvpajEljE3l7lENIHbajwFaJYKpxrkzjBymVH2UbB6YLNTHyfbDd8WpSe01zCNmrIObCf4yzuY58rClb8N800CYRNMrbBULc0GJkoulvfKvtdI/s1600/bjd-wip.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUJt5LMbCaNr_sbpfWTOIBa5jg5kNIOzvpajEljE3l7lENIHbajwFaJYKpxrkzjBymVH2UbB6YLNTHyfbDd8WpSe01zCNmrIObCf4yzuY58rClb8N800CYRNMrbBULc0GJkoulvfKvtdI/s320/bjd-wip.jpg" width="186" /></span></a></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ok, it's a work in progress so I know the proportions look a little off at the moment, but hopefully that'll improve as I work on her... And I can say as a novice - it's tricky work and is requiring a lot of patience! But great fun and a good learning curve ;-)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The photo isn't brilliant as my camera has a somewhat over-powered flash, so unfortunately you can see every flaw... but I'm getting somewhere slowly but surely. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As you can see I've yet to do the hands and I intend to make double-jointed knees and a torso-joint under the rib cage. I was considering a hip joint too, but I think with this being my first attempt at making a human figure I'll skip that this time. That, and I'm getting impatient! ;-) </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I also still need to do the ankle joints of course. </span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I'm using Apoxie Sculpt clay which I love, as you can sand it, carve it, polish it, etc. and it goes to a good, hard finish with no shrinkage. It's not brittle either like some of the more ceramic-feeling epoxy clays. </span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I absolutely love this tool, especially the mini extension tool, because it so light and perfect for little jobs where you need better control. I can see myself using the mini-attachment more than the actual tool it connects to, because if you have small hands like me, it gets really awkward trying to holding a big, heavy tool like a pen!</span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So that's all for now, I hope to have some more (and better!) pictures ready soon to show some progress with her. </span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Last year my hubby and I went on a trip to Berlin, and we came across "Strychnin Gallery" where they were having an <u>Art Doll Exhibition!</u> I'd forgotten all about posting the photos on here at the time, so here's a little look now ;)</span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My fox-girl is starting to come together! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">She looks a lot better now that she has her wig on and I'm feeling a lot more pleased with her overall. I couldn't help feeling that she looked a bit weird, in an awkward, not sure if I like it sort of way, but now that she has some hair I feel a lot happier with her. It still amazes me every time how much difference a hair-do can make to a doll and give it personality. :D </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
</div>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So I guess the next part will be the final chapter (so far!) of her journey - she needs a proper outfit! She's currently borrowing Martha Jones from Doctor Who's biker jacket, but I want her to have a kind of futuristic uniform. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Since I spray-painted her face and body, fox-girl needed a face-up - some blushing and painting to bring out her features. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I was aiming for an arctic fox look (like these adorable little fluffballs on the right), hence the creamy-beige base coat, and I just wanted to do some very light shading hinting at some fur using light feathery brushstrokes.</span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I'm using a Liv Doll as a base to work on top of with Magic Sculp epoxy putty. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Having sanded her head thoroughly I've now sprayed her all over using Montana spray-paint in a creamy ivory colour as a base coat. I protected the eyes by carefully adhering some Blu-tac to them, making sure they were covered right into the corners, but allowing the paint as close a coverage to the edges of the eyes as possible.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The spray is not adhering as well as I'd hoped to the plastic of the body, which I'm not overly surprised about, but it has fixed well on the Magic Sculp and on the softer plastic of the head, feet and hands. Since most of her body will be covered up by the outfit I'm going to make for her I'm not overly concerned about the wear of the paint on her body and joints.</span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It took a few coats of spray to build up thin layers, rather than one thick, goopy one.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Once the paint was dry I carefully removed the Blu-tac from the eyes using an old, blunted scalpel blade to avoid scratching the surface of the eyes, yet still be able to get into the corners to remove all the Blu-tac that had been pushed in.</span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Yikes! It's been a long ol' while since I last posted,
*but* I do have a pretty good excuse: I got married to my lovely Mr. Man of 11
years in May!! It was hectic, incredible fun and the absolute best time of
my life!! =D</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="color: #741b47;">So
since pockets are now a little less jangly with coinage, purchasing of BJDs is
on hold for now... But that's ok because it gives me the
perfect excuse to focus on other dolly projects including making
custom modifications to fashion dolls and handmaking stuff, so
without further ado, ta-dah-da-da-daaah: Here's my current work in progress, a
Fox-face Liv Doll!</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i style="background-color: white;">(* Magic Sculp is a two-part air-drying epoxy putty specifically for modelling. It's not dissimilar to Milliput, but I actually prefer it for being more workable, a bit tougher when set, less chalky and less prone to cracks. I got mine at <a href="http://www.magicsculp.co.uk/">http://www.magicsculp.co.uk/</a> ) </i></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #741b47; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';">... a funny, adorable, rag-tag group of Space Adventurers of course! ;D </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #741b47; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';">Hence the foxy lady will be "Captain Stella Fox", the cat-girl engineer is "Tygra Tinks", the crow-man Navigation Officer is "Crogan Sora", the bear is Soldier "Grizz" and the monkey Pilot is "Marvin Gibbs". So far so good! More details on the story and more characters are in development. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #741b47; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';">I made a kind of prototype a little while ago using a Bratz head, sanded and modified, and attached to a Liv body. I then added some ears cut off a Pokemon figure and painted her face to make a cute animal girl, like a little bear. So the principle kind of works I think... we'll see how it turns out!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I've recently been in contact with <strong>Doll Artistry Magazine</strong> - which is a new magazine for doll fans of all kinds! It covers artist dolls, BJDs, Reborns... all sorts really - yay!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The super-awesome part is: Issue #2 will feature my *new* <strong>Boot tutorial</strong> for BJDs, with lots of clear pictures and explanations! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The method shown is for MSD size (as modelled by the lovely DZ Kimi in my post of 7th March) and it can easily be adapted for other size dolls too.</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">These are some rough sketches I did last night Outfit designs for a Doll I am planning to make. She comes from a story I am writing, and she is a Raven-Witch, so the ravens theme is a strong one, hence all the feather shapes ;) . I'm still deciding on her name and still have things to finalise in her story beginning but I will post some of the text within the next few days. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I've yet to work up colour schemes, details and such, just wanted to get a feel for her character and shapes at this early stage.</span> </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">So with out further ado, here are the initial rough sketches - it's all just ideas and work in progress at the moment! ;)</span></div>

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I've started working on Evie's (=DollZone Kimi) jacket first of all because I have a clear idea of how I want it to look and then I'll be developing the rest of the outfit around that. Might be a bit of a backwards way of doing it, but in a way I quite enjoy the experimental aspect of doing it this way rather than just replicating a fixed design idea. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The plan is to make a jacket with tails that has varied stripes of green to make it look quite leafy.</span><br />
<br />

Scaling down from size 12 measurements by dividing them all by a scale factor of 5 seems to have done the trick to fit her. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I then cut a toile out of thin vilene and sewed in all the darts according to the pattern.</span></div>

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Here is my new little beauty, my first proper BJD! She is a resin, MSD size dolly with double joints (which I'm liking a lot). </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Before she even arrived I started making a wig for her, so that she wouldn't be completely naked for so long. It came out quite well, I followed the same method as detailed in my post from April this year, with a slight difference. On my Hujoo Berry's wig I was using Alpaca wool fibre for the hair, whereas this time I decided to try synthetic Kanekalon hair used by hairdressers for wigs and hair pieces. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">As well as preparing the strips of hair by gluing the ends, this time I glued them onto strips of very thin vilene and I also sewed across them once dried for extra hold. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I then sewed these strips to the wig cap as below:</span><br />

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So as you can sort of see I started at the bottom on the back of the wig cap and worked my way up and around the head, sewing each of the strips of hair to the cap. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I did take quite a bit longer of course than gluing them, but with a much more secure hold, and it also looks better and more neat. </span></div>

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">On my Doll Making page you can see the beginnings of the process, which followed the Ryo Yoshida method, using LaDoll Premix. Once I'd done a lot of sanding I applied a waterproofing agent to seal the paper clay and then painted in acrylic on top. The body blushing was done using pastels and then all the pieces were sprayed using a Matt Varnish. Then all was strung together using elastic and Voila! - a cheeky, lil green gobbo is born. </span></div>
