Part 2: A Dream of an Autumn Garden
A few more photos of Mr. Morpheus, continuing from my post here!
As I said on the other photoset, I'm very happy & proud of him! I'm happy I decided to take my time to get him just how I wanted & edit the photos I took nicely. I hope you all love him too. Sweet dreams~
I have included a bunch of Cool Facts about how I made him under the cut if you are so inclined!
Started: Late Jan 2022 / Finished: Dec 30 2022
Approx work hours- 273 hours (worked on average every 3rd day out of 274 days; averaged 3h/session)
Times I remade something because I messed it up/wasn't happy with it: Hands- 2; Feet- 2; Head- 2.5; Body- 1; Clothes: 3
Pattern: trial, error & determination
Height: 3ft tall
Materials:
stretch jersey knit (body)
polyfill (stuffing)
brushed out acrylic yarn (hair)
star sapphire x2 (eyes)
pipe cleaner (hand armature)
wooden dowels/18 gauge wire (elbow/arm skeleton that keeps snapping I may add)
acrylic paint/pastels (shading & details)
acrylic thread (body sculpting & upper eyelashes)
stretch velvet/velvet burnout, cotton (clothes)
Fun facts:
his look was inspired by his overall appearance in the comics; I particularily like the depictions done by Jill Thompson, Mike Dringenberg & Marc Hempel!
his arms and legs are jointed in the same way as many teddy bears are: you use a washer, nut & bolt to butt-up the limb against the body internally and it gives the limbs full rotation. First time I have tried the method and it's definitely something I'll try again!
I had no idea how I was going to do the inset eyes, but I was determined to have them as some sort of stone. I had to redo his first head completely because I cut too far in! Eventually I got it to work by creating a "backcushion" with clay for the stones, and then closed and sculpted the eyelids overtop to secure them in.
You can't see in most of my photos but his eyes are star sapphire: when light hits them correctly, it causes a 鉁╰o appear just like his eyes in the comics~!
Tumblr media
making his hand & feet were a challenge, especially thinking about where to put the needle through to sculpt tendons, nails, etc (and also deciding how detailed to get without looking strange). I think I learned a lot tho and I'm very proud of the hands
my favorite sculpted parts are the collar bone/chest, the right hand & the nose~
because the skin is white, he gets very dirty with his black clothes, so I had to line all of them in white. He also has to soak in bleach once in a while to maintain his complexion (LOL)
A signature somehwere on his person xD
Tumblr media
Thank you all again for your nice tags & comments so far on my work. If you guys would like for me to share some behind the scenes photos of this photoshoot, or WIP photos of me making him, let me know and if there's enough interest maybe I'll make a post down the road!

Reveal #2: Beamie's Buddies Website!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The last few months I have been hard at work making my own website!!!! It's a goal I've had for many years & it's finally becoming reality. The site isn't up in beta yet but as soon as it is I will let you know!
It will be released with the following functions:
archive gallery with multiple sections so you can view many of my dolls over the years!
about page so you can learn the history of Beamie's Buddies & a little about me!
contact page
custom order page (with catalogue download) with an overview of how custom orders work!
FAQ page for all your questions, from shipping to doll construtcting to repairing
responsive for mobile & desktop
In the future after release I hope to include the following features:
online shop (to take over from my Etsy) to allow for a truly one stop shop. All listings will be put here in the future once developed!
customer login zone where you could keep track of your orders & correspondence!
online Build-A-Buddy- a simple dollmaker-type game where you can build your dream doll & it will export it to me in the form of a custom order! Will make ordering so much easier & visual
Stay tuned for my release announcement & I can't wait to share this project with you!

I made a beekeeper! If she senses that you are gentle, she will send a lil bee your way to greet you.
I wanted to make her look clean and simple but as always I put a lot of effort into the process, including dyeing the silk for the wings and bow, digitizing a set of bee wings, and painting the lil bees surrounding her. I hope you like her!

馃崅 You come across a small creature taking a rest on a log... but something about her makes you want to keep an eye as you walk past. She is dripping with a substance that smells sickly sweet and her mushroom growths are a color that seems a warning. Before you are finally past her, you hear a dry giggle and choke in a breath filled with spores. 馃崉 You can adopt her here if you are willing to join the fun guys.

馃寵This magical girl entertains visiting political guests on the moon... but hiding behind her jovial nature is an assassin!馃専
Whew, finally done! I hand dyed and painted the fabric and hair! It's been awhile since I painted so much. I had so much fun working with these colors and motifs. A little nervous because I really wanted her to look magical and I hope I succeeded, and I hope you like her!
