Do you prefer closed mouth or opened mouth?

My favorite sculpt is the one with a little open mouth and I have a couple of other dolls with parted lips and teeth seen from a certain angle. I love such sculpts, but I love many with closed mouth too, it depends on sculpt.

 

For me personally I prefer closed mouth dolls. I don't think I'll ever own a doll with its mouth open, but only the future knows that one.

 

Like a lot of people said, depends on the sculpt. But I struggle with customising inside mouths sooo maybe closed-mouthed. I adore little fangs too.

 

I prefer closed mouths over open. I prefer a more neutral expression - I think there are more possibilities that way. When I see open mouthed dolls, I usually admire their teeth... but then I always want them to close their mouths.

 

I generally prefer closed mouth dolls but I have fallen in love with Supiadoll Juah who has a slightly opened mouth and a couple of teeth showing. I have no problem with smiling dolls either and might get the smiling SD girl from AOD.

 

For me it's more on the closed mouth but if they have like a not so common expression as in it isnt a expression that a real human would wear naturally all the time, take Miso and any yawning bjd for example, you would feel just uncomfortable knowing that their expression is forever frozen into place as a not so natural constant expression but one more on the extreme side? Also just personal opinion XD no matter how Miso's face is drawn it still feels creepy to me... idk if its the eyes that are staring into your soul or the teeth(arent the skulpters fault shes still beautiful but personal opinion)that doesnt have the canines and the mouth feels a tad too small so that only the upper teeth are showing with only a little bit of the lower teeth or the natural smile lines that runs downs the nose and around her mouth or the eyebag chub(think it was called ahgeo sal?) hnnn its just something about her face skulpt QwQ-

 

I honestly prefer closed mouth, and I would be very hesitant to get any doll that has an open mouth. It would be a challenge for me to paint the teeth, and I usually use my BJDs in a relaxed, realistic setting for photos, which would make any extreme expression awkward.

 

I have to agree that it depends entirely on the doll in question and the character you've got in mind. I used to think I didn't like open mouth sculpts, even with just a bit of tooth showing, but I now own three, two DL Teresas and a Mystic Kids Elisa Elves head... Even my DFA Auriel head has a slight parted lip for his lush pout! So I think it's all down to the doll

 

I like when the mouth is closed or slightly open, but not when is wide open.

 

Open mouths are so cute and expressive 33 closed mouths are pretty too but open mouths you can really play with your dolls personality!

 

Me personally, I prefer closed mouth; for some reason open mouthed freak me out a bit! Anyone else find that?

 

Very slightly open with teeth. They tend to look a little bit sweeter.

 

Definitely closed-mouth. I'm not a fan of open-mouth dolls, especially the ones that show teeth.

 

Oh this is a great question. At first when I was a beginner I didn’t like open mouth dolls. Specially with like teeth if it was smiling. But now I really like them like a small gap opening and just a bit of teeth showing. I think it looks very cute in specially half open eyes!

 

i like both, but i did have one version of my doll that had mouth open a little and it was great as i could place one of his cigarettes there, but now, his current version does not.

Both have their pros, but i do love ones that can change the mouth parts like tongue out etc... makes them a lot more adaptable and different... though i dont own any myself.

 

Depends on the sculpt. I prefer when closed mouths have a noticable crease between the lips, ones with no crease I don't really like as much, they feel like the lips are just. One solid lip? Dunno haha but I like both depending on how its sculpted.

 

I prefer dolls with open mouths because they tend to look more expressive. I like both kinds, though.

 

I find it easier to do a faceup on a doll with a slightly open mouth, but dolls with wide open mouths really aren't my thing. Many look like they've been lobotomized, or else like they might try to bite me if I turn my back.

A closed mouth with a neutral expression is the most versatile, IMHO, so that's what most of my dolls have.

 

All my dolls have closed mouths. I guess I find those sculpts more to my aesthetics.

 

In my head I think I love closed mouths more, but I guess it doesn't really make or break a sculpt for me! I love my Unoa Lusis and Ange sculpts, my N doll Miso, my Rap1993 Danni, my Lillycat Ninon...

A lot of dolls with subtly parted lips still appear to gave closed mouths from certain points of view, too, so I can admire the sculpting but slightly alter their look with photograpy.
