1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Elderly Scuplts Anyone?

Aug 11, 2024

    1. That is soo cool!!!! I'd love to work on sculpting my own too but I'm very intimidated by the thought! Yours looks amazing!!! I knowww there are so many attractive and young sculpts! Give me varietyyyyyyy!!!

      I actually did end up messaging them and they had three left in stock!!! (two now :evilplot:) and I bought her immediately! They have one in white skin and one in sunset skin now! I'm so happy they responded the same night and everything!

      Now that would be so cool! More aged up fantasy dolls!!! Dragons are so cool and they live for so long but they have to age some time! (Thinking about elderly sheep sculpts sitting with elderly dragon sculpts is SO CUTE omg. Would you want an antro or an actual dragon sculpt?
      I think both would be so cool, but I'd prefer an anthro myself!

      I'm in love!!! There is such a wide variety of body types and faces too! And so tiny oh my goodness!!! I'm partial to smaller mature sculpts so seeing this artist :abow:

      Thank you for introducing me to them!!:whee:

    2. One of the characters I'd love to have in doll form is an old guy... but with how hard it would be to find any sculpt that looks like him, I haven't been holding out a lot of hope of just stumbling across something and going 'oh, him!'. Still, it's always very cool whenever someone does sculpt older faces. Maybe someday I'll run across my dream guy.
       
    3. This was not for me but I want to chime in: Have been dreaming about an elderly dragon a long time. Not thin like Chinese dragons but more like a cross between a classical Welsh dragon and cat Garfield. A bit chubby, enjoying a glass of wine and his naps on a gold horde.
      Welcome!
       
    4. I prefer actual dragons, but an anthro has potential to be really, really cool too! SpiritImprintDolls did a lovely job on their She is a Dragon!

      This exactly! Not an old, wise Asian lung but a battle worn, ancient dragon with a great hoard that was hard-fought to obtain.

      it’s a bit of a shame, I feel like Dream Valley may have had an opportunity to do something similar with their latest dragon, Griffon, but didn’t. Although I suppose it matches with the rider being younger as well.

    5. Thats so cool! Is there any distinct features that you are looking out for in particular? What would make you say, "THAT is my character!"

      Oh my gosh I can see it now! A nice winkly old westen/Welsh dragon living in his later years. I do like Griffin but the thing I realized is they called the 1/6 size "young Griffin" and the 1/4 size "adult Griffin" but its the same exact sculpt just bigger :XD:
      Not very visually older which is pretty funny but I can see why they did that and didn't make an aged up version (though that would have been very nice)

    6. I think there's a lot that I could do with blushing, but I'd want at least some sculpting in terms of, like... the immediate thing I think of is deep smile lines. Somewhat prominent nose and squared chin. What I should do is compile a reference sheet for each of the characters I most want to shell, that I can compare to sculpts as I find them...
       
    7. Smile lines!!! Yes! Even if it's not an aged sculpt, I am so surprised that the youthful sculpts dont even have smile lines! Every time I see a very large grin on a sculpt and they have those smile lines I'm automatically drawn to them! I love the larger noses as well! So unique and creates so much character.

    8. I always go wild for a good nose! But yeah, even on a youthful face smile lines give so much-- one of my sister's dolls is a little boy with the biggest grin and the way it's sculpted is just so great.
