Do you incorporate a part of you into your doll?l

This topic is really interesting, because some day I want to make a doll of myself, completely. 0__0 I keep thinking I'm being really creepy, but I think it would be cute to have a minime, so to speak xD I always see wigs that look like my hair or doll sculpts that could be my face and I think, "Oh! Those will be perfect!" I dunno. I still think I'm being creepy. We'll see

 

A lot of the hairstyles I keep thinking of are similar to mine. XD; But maybe that doesn't count, because that's just the kind of hair I like, and haircut is the easiest thing to change on yourself, so of course I'll have the hair I like, as well as give it to the characters I make. (Not all of them, of course..)
Also the doll I bought has a sort of non-feminine face with a straight sort of triangley nose, which is sort of like mine.

 

I'm not sure this counts but I gave Alex a 13 tattoo on his arm...I don't have one tattooed on me, but on him I consider it kind of like a branding XD

It's perfect because it's not too obvious. No one has ever noticed it!

 

I would say I put more into my dolls that I wish was me. Like the clothes, never had the funds even when I had the body for them, now have the funds, not the body. Also as much as I love tattoos, scared of needles so my dolls when possible have tattoos at least one cool one. Now working on them having pets I can't have due to the time they take not just the money and space.

 

I put a lot of myself into everything. You may not see it, but it is there.
My dolls would definitely have a lot of myself in them. Maybe not actual looks, but that sort of "flair" you know?
It'll be that one touch that says "this is my doll" and I think no matter if you have a character or an original character doll, there's a little bit of something from us in them.

 

Personality wise, probably. They're my characters, and when I create them I put something of myself in them, mostly my sarcasm

Now, aspect-wise... I don't have any. I'd love to have a victorian steampunk one, because I'd love to dress that way, though I don't have the body to go with it ^^;;;;; Yet

 

My doll doesn't look like me and the only features we have in common is that we both have freckles. But thats cause I think they're cute.
My doll does kinda resemble me in style though. ^^ We both like bright colors and fun clothes.

 

I think, when I get a doll, I will incorporate parts of who I wish I was into her... does that make sense?
Weeellllll... I kind of had the idea that I would make her like who I wish I was if I was totally ideal, for example, I will make clothes for her that I wish I could wear, but I can't because I'm not pretty enough. So I'll kind of...live through my doll? haha :P
It's just an idea I had, its not set in stone yet.

 

What about making your doll wear the same fragrance as you? On second thoughts that might be a bad idea because the alcohol in the eau de toilette/parfum might react badly with the resin. Also a fragrance mixes with one's natural skin fragrance to create a unique fragrance so you'd never smell the same...

 

My reaction to the title was, "You mean like bleeding into it or something?" But I'm twisted like that.

I do not, for the most part. The only things they'll reflect are my tastes in clothes and customizations. I do not do things to the dolls that I do not myself like.

The doll I consider my mascot deliberately has what I consider to be a flanderized version of my real personality, but this is not something you could know from looking at her.

 

I try to create unique personalities for my characters but sometimes they end up having a trait similar to one of my own or to one of my friends. My dolls are all age range 8 - 17 though with no supernatural story or ability so I'm simply thinking it's hard to create something thats NEVER been done before. Just normal kids with normal stories I suppose.

 

So, does this mean that you can learn about yourslef by just lookig at your dolls? I have a lot of naughty girls.

 

That is how I fell into this resin hobby, by a similarity.

Physical features:



The first time I saw Soo Special, with the make-up she was wearing on Dollmore, people who know me and I thought we were kind of alike.

Curiously, my brother thinks my mother's Delf, a Miyu, and I are alike. I think the cause, in both cases, is mainly the shape of the eyes.

Personality:

For me, since I have my pirates, they are like "symbolic" parts, more or less pronounced, of the puzzle I am. That is what happens when you identify yourself with certain characters. That is why I usually say they are parts which form the "One Piece" I am. Poetic, but that is what I feel, they are given characters or not. Who I am more alike in this aspect is something I leave opened to the imagination whose is knowing them and, at least by now, who knows me well finds out rightly who it is.

 

i don't really give them physical characteristics of myself but prefer to make their personalities similar to mine.

 

I really try not to "inject" my traits unto my dolls, they have their own characteristics. I always think "If i'm Mii-tan, would I wear that?" and the like. Though I will have a doll in the future {when I get the money and find a doll w/ 99.99% of the features I want and like} that would be like a mini-me but a million times better looking than me. XP Somewhat, "I wish I look like this" but still the rest of her {like her style in clothing} would be very much like me. :3

 

I completely transforms a BJD exactly like me is a sort of mini concience, I sanded and filed down ...

 

I love diversity, so in looks...no. All my dolls come from different companies and are completely different from me as well as from each other. But my collection is like a personal journal in BJD form. Each doll represents a part of me, something I'm passionate about or a link to some wonderful time in my life that I want to hold onto. I make them display spaces filled with cherished objects, give them a magical character that best expresses their unique role in my memories, and then I enjoy the freedom to play with current fashion styles that highlight what they represent (like steampunk for my girl that hangs out in a train station display...because I adore trains and you can hear the distant train whistles blowing gently at night in my dearly beloved home.)

 

I actually plan to give my doll the same mole that I have. ^^ She also has brown, curly hair just like me. I have no idea what else yet but I wouldn't be surprised if I added another thing of myself to her or for another doll.

 

Looks? No. I have given a few of them some of my personality traits but then I have a few whom I want totally different from mine
