I have something amazing to show!!:D So in december or november 2022, amazing doll artist Kannyan/Jaybuns on instagram reached out to me with a proposition for a BJD collab! I had been following their work and was already in love with their work so I could only say yes! And so now, over a year later, we can start to introduce "Celeste" (and her lovely twin "Celestin"!) We still have a way to go since we only recently got the first test for their clothings and to make sure everything work but LOOK AT THEM!! I am so enamoured with them already! If you love bjd and are interested in keeping an eye on the project I highly recommend checking out Kannyan Accounts on instagram and Threads! They have a lot of other lovely dolls and art!:D

My process of creating a BJD for the first time
I sculpted my own BJD-inspired little doll for the first time! Including sewing his outfit, I worked on the project over the course of December til March.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He's based on my artistic fan-rendition of dr. Nitrus Brio from the Crash Bandicoot video game series, and I'm planning to make a few of his colleagues as well! 😊 Here's some reference pics for context, for those who don't know the character.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Read on if you want to see the process of his creation!
(Heads-up; Contains censored doll nudity and loose body parts and all that~)
He's only 19cm tall (which is uncommon for adult-type BJDs (they'd usually be 40-70 cm, that's 1/4 or 1/3 scale)) and his technical design is a little crude/simplified compared to the beautiful mechanics of the BJDs I used to own, but I'm really happy with how he came out. It was quite the magical experience, because I haven't sculpted much before, nor have I sewn on this level of detail.
Tumblr media
I figured the smaller scale would make him more easy to handle and less intimidating for a first project, but it made it a little difficult to work with at times as well!
Tumblr media
My very first attempt was fun but had a lot of issues, I decided to start over before painting. The (extremely cheap) clay had shrunk massively, he was nowhere near hollow enough, he was a disproportional mess xD
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And since he needs to be to scale with his friends later on, I decided it would be a valuable prototype. UvU
Tumblr media
So all that happened during my Christmas break! From then on, I continued working on him little bits at a time. Quite surprisingly I managed to stay engaged and dedicated XD
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This time I got actual doll-grade paperclay, which made so much difference. Amazing stuff. It was again very satisfying to see his shape forming. And this time he made it to the paint stage!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
After drying out properly, I coated him first to set the clay, then used acrylic paint to give him his base skintone all over. The first layer, applied with a brush, was a blotchy mess. :x
Then I thought of sponge-dabbing it on instead, which worked wonderfully! I only realized while doing it, that it reminded me of how I applied my own bodypaint with a sponge for a blue-skinned cosplay 😊 Must've subconsciously gotten the inspiration from there lol
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
After his base coat, I could no longer resist and strung him😂💖
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I realized it might get messy later on if I'd refuse to unstring and restring him for further painting/blushing and coating. But I figured it'd be good enough and I was having too much fun having him in his strung form XDD <33
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It turned out okay, even after spray coating him strung. ^^
Tumblr media
Painted his face, cleaned the paint off his bolts, glued eyelashes on 💕
Tumblr media
And finally, gave him bodyblush for a little more life to him, love it!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then I spent many nights sewing his lab coat, undies, pants, gloves and boots! 😊😊😊
Tumblr media
I now consider him finished, and ready for cool shoots! All of this really made me relive my love for BJDs and all the crafting around it. Looking forward to make him some friends, but for now it's kinda nice to have time for other projects again as well 😂

Question for the BJD Community
⚠️This gotten unnecessarily long so I will put the question and information under the cut to not take up a lot of the TL for people!⚠️
I had this question for a while because I’ve recently been getting into BJD’s… This might be hyper specific, for that I am sorry.
But, I recently been looking into doll’s because I’d love to make some of my favorite characters, like Squares and Marle (both Puyo Puyo characters btw), but I don’t like the semi-realistic style most dolls have.
So, I was looking into anime-style ones and haven’t had much luck on that front either…
But, also some of the characters I’d like to make a doll for are children, like Squares, and they have no official merchandise so this is one of my only few options to have something for them.
I haven’t located any child dolls that I could customize to be Squares…
I know the hobby is expensive, which is why I have only been lurking in the community and doing research — I don’t have the money to make any purchases yet, but one day I will.
But, I need help on finding the right dolls to use for the characters I wanna make. But I can provide some help.
I need a child-like doll that can easily be held in the palm of someone’s hand, I don’t know the “size” the doll would be.
I’d need two taller dolls that are not children (with a flat chest, it needs to be feminine not masculine), that can hold the child doll easily. But other dolls can be larger than them.
Cutesy eyes that come in a pink-red (maroon?), gold, and indigo-blue.
Options for wigs, I don’t know what to do there. I need light yellow-green and dark blue in specific.
And finally, two last things I need help with.
I need help/tips on how to make outfits or source good, high quality clothing for the dolls I buy.
And tips on doing face-up’s for my dolls, like what you guys recommend and all of that. I can do the face-ups myself since I can draw really well, so information about tools/equipment that’s recommended for face-ups can help as well.

WIP ROUND UP!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
NOT FOR SALE!
To do:
Fix her hand (oopsie I broke it.)
Finish sewing her bloomers.
Finish sewing her blazer.
Finish her stockings (including a stump cover for her leg.)
Make her wig.
Make a hat (bowler or bonnet? Still undecided.)
Make her shoes (booties? Slippers?)
Make her umbrella gun (inspired by the real life Bulgarian Umbrella.)
Here's my thicc, steampunk, WW1 black-and-white, vaguely Silent-Era cartoon, one armed, one legged prostitute-assasine Smart Doll WIP. If that seems like a dense concept, you need to get on my level of neurodivergency, clearly.
The idea behind her is she's like, this "exotic entertainer" in a vaguely turn-of-the-century WW1 steampunk setting. She officially employed under the ruse of being something like an all-in-one, singer, dancer, conversationalist, "professional company and party attendant for high-powered men and women" escort. Soft, feminine, "silly," and physically disabled, she's actually a highly effective contract killer who gets away with it by acting like a helpless empty headed bimbo who uses people's own mysogyny and people's prejudice against her being obviously disabled and a sex worker to her advantage.
The kind of backstory I had in mind was that she managed to survive a bombing of her hometown when she was little that took both her right limbs and caused severe nerve damage. Due to an error in message decoding, her town was reported to be taken by enemy forces. The monarchy, taken by spurise by this development and panicking due to the geographic advantage of the localtion for attack on the capital, opted to hastily bomb it without any other evidence or confirming how the opposition's army could have taken the town without them knowing until now. They didn't know until after the whole area had been leveled they just blew up their own citizens over a mistake. It left her (pun not intended, but welcomed, ha) fighting to balance chronic pain and addiction to painkillers for the rest of her life, and surviving on sheer spite for authoritarian incompetence. She loves destroying the lives of high powered figures as much as she loves being paid for it. Because her ability to feel pain had been altered so drastically, she can take a hit, stabbing, and even a gunshot like it's nothing so long as it isn't lethal. The extreme sports of "when life gives you lemons." Her go-to weapon is her parasole that fires small poison pellets at close range, that can also be converted into a disguised sniper rifle by swapping out attachments. Her signature trick to things going tits up is letting herself get battered up a bit, than crying on command like a helpless girl. Pitiful as possible. She can hold her own in a brawl, but it's often more effective to let her targets attack her and make a big scene. Have them die slow painful deaths hours later when their organs give out seemingly out of nowhere in the company of witnesses after she's long been "saved" by her handlers. Assault being common for escorts in her line of work, no one thinks the wiser. Even if they do, she's just a "poor, simple, crippled girl" who just got beaten up by a client, how would that make them look if they accused her of fowl play?
I'm not really writing a story persay in mind for this character, it's more so just the fun of character development and narrative through character design, but maybe I'll use the idea somewhere someday. Really I just love that contrast of innocently dangerous, and wanted her to physically embody that. As an animator, obviously, that Silent Era aesthetic is something I'm living for. Osamu Tezuka is post-WW2 obviously, but the vibes I'm kind of going for is if he worked for Fleischer Studios. Blackjack, but make it Out of the Inkwell.
Her eyes are handmade and hand painted out of acrylic, and her body's obviously very heavily moded. I gave her much more generous cleavage, and tried to give her the chubbyiest thighs, tummy and butt I thought I could get away with, but, looking at her I think I might have been able to give her some more pudge. For anyone unfamiliar with the issues with trying to mod base dolls into plus sizes, the joints can pose problems when making it look right. I prefer dolls with more extreme figures and bodies and like the challenge and look of making dolls with different body types and fat distributions, so I'm experimenting more and more with doll "mid-sizifying" I suppose you could call it. Eventually I'd like to get to trying to do a full like, proper "plusizification." Taking a thin doll and trying to put like, an approximate 100 lbs on her if nothing for the joy of the logistics of it alone. It'd be cool to try it with a Smart Doll or Dollfie Dream, something with an interior skeleton. I think that'd be the best results. I think I might as well make body parts to fit over those endo skeletons from scratch, though. I only have Smart dolls at the moment to work off of, but if anyone is interested in commissioning some chubby to full plus-size Smart Doll custom option parts, let me know. I'll happily give you a discount while I'm just experimenting with all this.
Her head is of course also moded. I wanted her to look like she was punched, so her cheek is swelling a bit. She's a Smart Doll Journey if I remember correctly.
Her leg is a mixed media. Fabric, wire, metal, a pen. Those interior skeletons make Smart Dolls fantastic to put robotic limbs on--- extremely easy to attach. I wanted it big and cartoonish, the foot looking like a big heavy oversized metal boot, and also to look like a highly engenieered peg leg instead of a proper prostetic. Vaguely inspired by Hiccup from How To Train Your Dragon's leg, which the suggestion it's spring operated. You know, antiquated but advanced as most fantasy steampunk is.
Her tattoos are all flowers that have some meaning in Victorian flower code. The big one on her chest being an anemone. It represents a warning or notes something as "forsaken." Used to ward off evil spirits, disease, death, and bad luck. So it's kind of an omen of bad shit happening. A protection and a bad sign. Because I'm trash I'm tempted to name her "Anne Amie." "Amie" is the feminine word for "friend." It also sounds both like "anemone" and "an enemy" when run together out loud. That might be a play on words, punny name so loaded it might rip a fabric in the universe, haven't decided yet, but there you go. I might just decided I accept my crimes against the English, French, and flower-based languages. We'll see.
