Bobobie/Resinsoul 14cm and 15cm size dolls discussion part 2

They should fit into Pukifee clothes, but the hand system is different (Pukifees use magnets) so you'd have to attach the magnet part to the body and wouldn't be able to switch between those and the default BBB/RS hands as easily. But it should be doable if you plan on leaving the magnet on there and just using the Pukifee hands.

 

Im sorry.. i was just so darn impatient when i got him... ;__;
And it was from DDE, not from BBB so it wasnt all that exciting anyways like a normal one ^ ^"

IM SO SORRYYY ;3;

 

Hmm 10mm, thats what i thought!
He ended up coming with brown eyes. But that's ok, i'll find someone to make the demon eyes for me- im looking for specific ones with a red base and yellow eye with a cat pupil :P But i have no idea where to find that >3>

 

You could probably try to make your own eyes. I've done something before where I basically rolled up some clay into a ball about the same in diameter to the eye I want, cut it in half to make two hemispheres, let the clay harden, and then painted it however I wanted it. Then you can gloss it or put a glaze over the top (I have this stuff called Diamond glaze that doesn't dry 100% flat, so it's nice for making eyes) and just let it dry.

 

Aronzo Thanks for the info!! I think I'll just use hands with string system instead of magnets.

 

look at Denver Doll under the glib eyes. I've got 8mm in Hotaru. (next size down from whatever comes default) in Poppy.

 

Go to Dreaming Tree Studio for awesome eyes at insanely affordable prices. Amanda is a wonderful person to work with and she casts all the eyes herself (they're resin). She also has an Etsy shop with eyes ready to be shipped out immediately, but selection is not as expansive as if you were to order a pair to be made.

Quite a few of my dolls have DT eyes because they needed custom jobs due to style/size/colour. I had her make me a pair of 8mm cat eyes in pale green with a semi-metallic finish for one doll, some 10mm eyes with black sclera, 6mm eyes in a silvery white with no pupils and a metallic finish, custom colour eyes for 3 other dolls.... yeah, the list sort of goes on and on. A regular pair of 10mm eyes will run you $4.50 and shipping to the US/Canada is $2 for up to 6 pairs of eyes. Eyes with metallic finishes cost more, but still very reasonable at $10 for full metallics.

I'd post pics of some of them that I have, but I haven't purchased this size of RS (yet) and don't want to violate any rules about OT dolls for this thread. If you want to see some examples, please feel free to PM me and I'll link you to pics.

 

Little information for my resinsoul Yu. Hope this information will help something..

Wig: I have monique wig on 4. It's fit very well. For wig can't share with normal pukifee (for multihed pukifee is use same wig with Yu)
Outfit: Yu can share some of pukifee with loose style coz pukifee have big body more than Yu. Monster high and Bratz outfit some fit also as t-shirt or skirt.
Shoe: My Yu use Gib shoes and blythe shoes can fit too. For pukifee original shoe is little bit loose but if you ware sock will is fit well.

 

I've been knitting while watching anime...
just a bit of yarn left over from another project and the color shift worked out beautifully.

 

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Have some Colette love!

 

My little elfkin was adopted from the marketplace and has had a complete makeover since he arrived. I absolutely LOVE him!! His name is Tumnus, and he is my first ever try at a faceup. Now I really want him to have a sister. This is him before I coloured his daisy dayes legs:


I had no idea these guys were so adorable in person!!! I definitely need more!

A pic of him with his deer legs is here:

I wasn't 100% happy - I couldn't get the white pastels to show up white, and then his deer legs were stained fluro green so they had to be coloured a lot darker than I planned and don't match his head as well as I'd hoped. Plus I had some issues with the MSC right at the end after about 10 layers of pastel and MSC to build up colour. I have pneumonia so I don't have a steady hand to try eyeliner.... but I plan to eventually.

 

Hotaru has a crush on him! made me take a photo of her to send him...

 

I have been thinking of getting a Yu for a bit now and this thread has almost completely pushed me to do so. I just have a few questions. The main one is which company would it be best to order from? Denver Dolls, Resinsoul, Junkyspot, or Bobobie? They all have the doll I want in the color I want I'm just not sure if there is an advantage to ordering from one place over another. I had questions about eyes, clothes, wigs, and shoes but they've already been covered. I do have a question about how well they pose. I've read on other threads that the BBB and RS dolls are loose and I was wondering if that was true for the tinies as well. I've only got one doll and I've never restrung him so I'm nervous about doing so. Thanks to anyone who can help

 

My Yu was actually sent strung tightly (she's still doing karate kicks until her s-hooks come in) but I think either buying one that's in stock (if you buy from Resinsoul or Bobobie it'll be a pre-order) or from Resinsoul if you want a little bag to carry your doll in. Each place throws in a couple extras as far as I've heard, and my girl came with two free sets of eyes. My brother ordered a doll from Bobobie and they even sent him a free wig! If the doll is in stock, it won't take long at all to ship to you, and pre-orders from RS/BBB generally take a month or so to arrive.
Also, restringing actually isn't so hard at all! It's probaby better to practice on a slightly larger doll (Yo-SD or MSD) to get the hang of it, but it's not actually that complicated at all. There was a really good tutorial on DeviantArt that explained it really well. Lemme go find it.

EDIT: Found it! Though instead of using forceps like the tut, I usually loop the elastic around something that's close to the right size.

trying on a wig we made for a friend...

 

Is he a pink skin? And came with the hoof legs already modded to fit him? From LittleNerdyOtaku? Please say he is! Because my gosh it will be good to see him around again! I really rather miss having him here.

 

Hahaha - yes. He came with his legs and he is pink skin. Did he once belong to you? I didn't know they had been modded to fit a BBB - I can imagine THAT would have been a lot of work!!

 

Yes! He was mine a while ago. I decided that he didn't quite fit what I want to do with my 'dollhouse' sized dolls, so he moved on. I'm thinking I'll eventually replace him with an Elfkin in red. And either find hooves for him, or make some.

This is how the hooves looked before I modded them: (and how he looked as my little demon boy!) and here's how they looked after I modded them, before I moved him on to his next home: http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/...e/hooves/modded/Nightshademoddedhooves004.jpg (linked so as not to go over the 1 picture limit in discussion)

The modding took some time, but was entirely additive. It was work, but a LOT of fun! I really like modding.

And now...WOW! I just LOVE what he's become in your hands! Tumnus is just ADORABLE! Definitely where he was meant to go! I'll love seeing him anytime you spam him in here. ^-^

 

Thanks for all the info and the link. I think I'll probably order from Resinsoul to get the little carry bag for her. I can wait a little longer for the perk of being able to take her places

 

WOW - I have about a hundred questions!! I had no idea they were so narrow originally! The mod is fantastically done!! Congratulations!! Were they originally pukipuki ones then? Or are the pukifee size just always that narrow? I suppose finding another pair for a sister has just become a WHOLE lot harder!! Ack! I haven't had a doll with animal parts and while I love his head I find I struggle a little with the hooves. I wonder if it is just because finding clothes is so hard..... it didn't help that mum dropped over, took one look and told me he was revolting!!!! Ah well. Can't please them all.

Your original faceup and markings for him were so well done!! Very striking! And oh so different to how he is now!!

We've been hanging out a little today and finally found a pair of pants stretchy enough to get over those hooves and cover up his boy bits He is meant to be such a shy, sweet, gentle boy but in bright red pants and the only other 'boy' top I had he doesn't quite look it!! I keep wondering whether to change the faceup, redo it, darken it, redo the hooves.... but I think once he has a wig it will become a lot clearer who he needs to be. AND it will make his faceup look a bit darker too I think. So I am leaving it for now.


I think once he has some greeny brown clothes he'll look a bit less out of place than he does here:
