Have you ever think to sculpt (even just once)?

Yes! And I'm working on it!! I hope to start my first bjd head by the end of the year!
Escultura 2 - primeira tentativa de cabeça

 

Yes totally!
But BJD are so hard to do in my head so instead I make art dolls made out of clay and wire as the joints. It's similar but its fun to find other ways to create things.

 

I have sculpted my own tiny face once. I wasn't great at it but I was pretty happy with the end result. I just couldn't get the right body for the head of a teeny tiny doll I have, but I wanted to keep a piece of the essence of that doll in a sense, so I just sculpted around the entire head, as it was really disproportionately flat. So on the inside of the bigger more appropriately scaled head is the original face. it was a really fun project.

 

I've started working on my self sculpted doll some time ago because i haven't found any mold that would be at least 80% alike any of my characters. Many had right chins/head shapes, some had good eye shape, some had ALMOST right lips... but no one had _everything_ at least about 'quite ok' lvl.
Now i have about 2-3 molds in my 'i wouldn't be against' wishlist, 2 in 'i'd like to have' wishlist and only one in dreamlist because his lips are just perfect, i can stare at them for hours, and he really looks like one of my OC boys.

Anyway, i don't give up on making my own sculpted boy because that's the only way to make him 100% alike my Mardjelo and, after all, sculpting and joint technique research is fun! ^_^

 

I would love to sculpt my own, atleast once!! I can be quite picky, especially about eye and lip shape. I'd also like to have a try at making my own hands. I draw and paint and one of my favourite things to do is the hands, so hey, trying to sculpt a pair would be very exciting.

 

I often think about it. I'd really love to do it (I tried something too) but I don't think I have enough skill to make something that I'll like. Also I can't sculpt mouths. ; ;

 

yes, when i'm already use to the doll hobby i will try to practice in sculpting ^U^

 

I have tired it, well, still do from time to time, and wonder if I could ever be good enough.....Its probably my best artistic skill

 

I've thought about sculpting my own doll before...but I just don't think I possess enough skill! I would love to make a doll that was EXACTLY the way I wanted it, but I don't think I would ever be able to get it to come out right, which I feel would just frustrate me even more!! And besides, there's so much variety in BJD's, that I feel I'll definitely be able to find something that makes me happy anyhow!

 

I've sculpted a head before, but have yet to make a full body.

 

I tried sculpting once. I'm not sure I have the patience for this but I admire those who give it a try and are successful.

 

Nah. Sculpting isn't something I'm interested in.

 

I've attempted to sculpt horns, but I ended up losing interest before I finished. I would like to try again someday, but maybe start with something that is a simpler design and finish the process from start to finish before sculpting something as intricate as what I had in mind the first time.

 

I haven't; mostly because I'm better with 2d art forms vs. 3d ones! While I wouldn't sculpt, I would definitely be interested in trying out custom faceups, etc.! There's a lot of choices out there so I'm not too worried about not finding the perfect sculpt.

 

I can sculpt to a degree... but I wouldnt even know where to start with a BJD... I could probably do a figure with no joints but then I wouldnt be able to do much with them except have them stood there for all eternity... I want a mature stocky/chubby body for an original character. Shes a dwarf so I want the body including the head to come to no higher than 30cm as the taller ones are human/elves then theres the taller Qunari (Dragon Age btw if you arent familiar)

I have done a lot of searching and I just cant seem to find what I am looking for v.v They are all on the slender side compared to what I need. *Sigh* I will just have to wait and see x'D

 

I often think of sculpting, creating a doll of my own has been my dream, unfortunately I know I'd need to learn and practice tons before I could actually get something successful out of it. Proportions/joints surely are the hardest part in my opinion. I should totally try it though.

 

I wanted to! I had this sculpturing class in school which I did not get into when I signed up. I went to buy Super sculpy and just crashed into the class! My classmates were in there so the teacher just let me be haha
But I did not manage to do much sculpting because my other school projects were killing my time..

 

I always think of ways I can be a part of the hobby in a bigger way and possibly sculpting dolls is one of them. I think I'm in way over my head though because I would obviously need to do a lot of research and study anatomy.

 

yes i thought about it a multiple times but never actually tried it

 

I have thought about trying to sculpt my own doll but I do not have the talent or patience for it.
