"Another You"

None of them are 'me' but they so have parts of me in them, or parts of my friends and family. They have their own characters but a small part of each of them is complied for people I know, or myself.

 

I am modding a head I have into a self-portrait. It will probably never be a full doll, but I wanted to see what I look like in BJD style, and I consider this just another medium for art, so I'm giving it a shot. There aren't any sculpts that look like me, so I'm just giving this head a drastic workover to become a BJD version of me. I'm also going to make a base bust stand for it.

 

No, not precisely... There'd never be a doll that looks like me, so... I would get dolls that represented beloved RP characters or parts of my personality, or characters based on myself... but I wouldn't get a doll that WAS me.

However, if I ever had a lot of money to do so, I might buy my mom a tiny that resembled my childhood pictures (my sister pointed out that Ante looks like a very stylized version of me-when-I-was-little)... put it in the right colour wig and eyes and an outfit like I'd have worn. I wouldn't need a Me-doll for me, though.

 

I've never really thought about this... It might be cool? I know that I will incorporate a lot of my personalty into dolls but I don't know how to feel about the looks too. It would remind me too much of that movie Coraline with her freaky little voodoo doll and that show scares the poop out of me.

 

All of my doll ideas are basically extensions of me. Sometimes I can't express myself they way I want to in real life and with a doll, I'm able to express that without judgement. I don't want my dolls to look like me, just be an extension of myself is good enough.

 

That's why I want to BJD so badly! I essentially want a mini me to dress up and carry on adventures I am too shy to ever really have. If that makes sense. ^_^

 

I don't want any doll that looks like me. To me its just weird. I wouldn't be comfortable having that doll around

 

I actually have a doll that looks like me ~ she's a supia Lana and I really want to buy her! I wanna dress her up like how I would so it would be like the mini me!!! It'll be awesome to have another me!

 

My doll is some kind of mini me, uses casual clothes like me and have the hair color that I normally use, however the eye color is different (gray) because I wish I had gray eyes.

 

I would not want to try to make a doll that looks like me. Some people are doing that with the new 3D printing technology though and I have seen pictures and they are kinda weird looking! That being said all my dolls have a part of me in them, some more so than others. Some things I am able to express through my dolls that I have not expressed in real life as well as OCs who are obviously a part of me as my mind created them. Some of my dolls dress the way I do and some wear outfit I would love to get away with. So i suppose you could say they are more likse an extension of me than a replica if that makes sense

 

No. No... Nope. That would freak me out way too much. I mean, I do get dolls to make them into my characters. That's another reason, but really, I couldn't because that seems a bit horror movie-y to me.

 

I like to write and so I shy away from anything that could be considered "mary sue-ing". In other words blantantly insering yourself in a character. There is enough to have me around, I don't need a doll version. Ew :P

 

Part of the interest for me is that they are not me though bits of my personality filter in. That allows them to "choose" their path individually and not be constrained by me.

 

Eh, no. I don't really like myself all that much, it'd be weird to have a doll that's supposed to be me. I use BJD as an escape from my reality, and having a doll that was "me" would ruin that illusion for me. Kinda sad, I know.
