Bobobie and Resinsoul Discussion - Part 11!!

Nefla he is so beautiful

 

Thank you! I hope I can do him better justice when I can afford better art materials and wig

 

He looks so pretty!

 

Don't know if you still need them, but here's my Feng (who has the same body as Long) and my new Dan (on the Ai body).



The Long/Feng body has a 10 cm neck, the Ai body has an 8 cm neck. I'm not sure it's going to fit.

(I tried to swap the heads, but actually my new girl is so tightly strung that I couldn't get it off!)

 

Years ago when I was considering getting an Ai head on a bigger boy body, Sun advised me not to do it, because it looks weird. He suggested the 1/3 boy body and sent me these photos to show me.

Spoiler: Ai on bigger boy body

 

Aha!! Thank you both so much for these!

That's very useful, yeah I had an Ai on Gang's body, but he was too short for the character, no longer own him, and have never had the taller boy body in hand, I was trying to work out if simply plonking him on the taller body would work, or if I need to give in and try to decide on a Rui or other sculpt instead. Long v Ai there seems to confirm my suspicion that the larger doll's intended heads are indeed just that little bit larger...

Thanks so much for that Ai on the bigger body photo, that answers most of my questions! Thank you! That is definite proof that proportionally, if I sorted out the giraffe neck situation I could see that working quite well. Shoulder width to head size seems really decent! Just a new frustration/question of can I sort out a 2cm difference rather than the complete ??? frozen indecision I was stuck with. With, additional complication of he'd be a dark tan boy which welp on the sanding needed.

(I have done fairly harsh neck adjustments in the past for awkward heads (cough Rainman's initial tiny neckholes on his newer girls cough) but I'm not sure a whole 2cm adjustment is viable, I need to try and dig up what the intended neck size difference vs actual neck sizes were now. I remember one of the adjustments took quite a bit more doing than the other)

Thanks again - that's incredibly helpful - I've gone from vascillating betwen options without a clue, to having a distinct way forward of how to make up my mind.

 

or. . . you could ask RS to mod the neck shorter for you? It's a relatively minor mod for them (as opposed to adding extra limbs and such) and it conveniently skirts around the issues with sanding dark resin for you

 

My Rui, who I call Miray, in case anyone was looking for owner pics.

 

Does anyone have pictures of the 72cm jointed hands?

 

@ToriaCrux I do! Anything you want to know/see in particular?

 

A top view of the hands flat and a shot of them holding something would be great!

 

@ToriaCrux here's the album! They can hold light objects no problem, and small flat things well. The end joint of the fingers doesn't like to stay bent. I'm thinking about wiring them, then my boy might be able to hold his axes more naturally.

And a pic of my modified Heng/Mu, named Iker. He's about to get more mods, namely his extra eyes are going to be drilled out instead of painted and I'm going to shorten his arms a bit.

 

Thank you! Iker is really cool. I think I might need a red doll now.

 

@Thymeseer Ooh Iker is super cool! Almost makes me want a Heng boy of my own! (I want a Resinsoul/Bobobie but I’m not sure which sculpt I want yet)

 

Wow there have been some gorgeous dolls here since I last checked. I wasn't sure if maybe you already got too much attention but @Nefla your blue Cen is a real dream ahhh I hope you will keep showing him I am in love.

Took my ornery Pandora to a city waterfront yesterday. It was a good shoot, but she decided after two years this was the day she was ready to remove her acrylic nails as I noticed one was missing the moment I took her out of the bag.

Spoiler: For posterity

In spring 2021 I think it was, I gave her resin nail extensions with UV polish right on her hand, and they were very hardy. Some people seemed alarmed but in the end the UV lamp didn't cause her any discoloration and well, I guess the bond eventually weakened and they all popped right off easily after 2 years... Like they were never there. It was a fun era and I will miss it. Maybe I'll buy apoxie now and give a permanent version but maybe not.

Spoiler: More of me being boring

I've been trying to rework her (every time I posted her this year she looks totally different, and I was combining a lot of things that didn't actually work on her resin color and just manipulating the hue with light) Anyway I am thinking I want to make her a modern vintage clothing fan (honestly I'm really inspired by sewrena_ on instagram -- she is just so beautiful and makes herself the best outfits) and I've been trying to take it seriously and did a color season analysis and everything on this doll so that I can have the little color palette to look at so I will stop making clothes I hate on her. normally it's not so hard but I'm tired of farting around on this doll. Which if you read via Google translate... I don't mean that literally.

But even with her nail malfunction I was so happy because her look was cute and I finally am figuring out how to get her looking more like she looks irl in a picture!

Little mermaid references were accidental believe it or not... we don't need to mention it

 

Ooh good point! Thanks heh I'll have to see if they'd be willing vs my paranoia about whether their idea of appropriate neck length would match mine... But given the order will already be an annoying, send a sample get a colour match job, a custom neck probably wouldn't be too much more on top of that. (gargh sorry did not get notified about the reply for some reason!)

@AlisonVonderland Argh your Pandora is lovely - oopf I always forget how very charming Bobobie's headsculpts are with the whole, twin companies, Resinsoul is the one to order from because Bobobie's customer service issues thing - but gods there's just something really lovely about the style and you've really brought it out with the way you've painted her.

 

Aw thank you @Vetinari ! I'm kind of in an era where I enjoy the doll-ness of a lot of my dolls over realism and she does the pretty and doe-eyed thing well I think

I'm going to have to look back on what hybrid you are planning I hope it works out for you though! I have some dolls here I could really use to do a neck shortening on and I haven't because I'm so very lazy and poor to invest in a good rotary... It seems very tempting to ask them to do it for you and have it taken care of.

 

Does anyone have Blue & SkyBlue RS dolls for color compassing? Thinking to order blue or SkyBlue elf

 

I asked about that in the reference section, and some people replied with picture comparisons, here.

 

O thank you! Sky blue looks so much better! I thought Blue would be more darker but no. Going with SkyBlue then
