Melancholy Sculpts

It's really not my thing, I prefer dolls that look happy; but each to their own.

I have to post the obvious one though, RingDoll Mona

 

The first sculpt that came to mind for me was Foveo Gella. She's a 1/4th doll had made by a Korean artist. She'll soon have a 1/3 version.
Here's her link when she was sold.

Ah I'm glad you like her! She is really cute and I have know a couple friends that have her. You can check Foveos FB page for updates on her. I believe she goes on sale soon!

I really love those kind of sad/melancholic sculpts, if you know how to pose them and a little of photo edition you can make the most beautiful photos

 

I've recently fallen in love with Souldoll's YeonSoo ;w; She has such a lovely face with a hint of melancholy in it.. I can't help but love the more sad looking dolls, I can feel more of a connection towards them

 

Normally I prefer a doll with a more neutral expression because too smiley or too sad-looking can make them look a bit too weird and uncanny-valley to me. But that being said, there are a few "melancholy" looking dolls I love the look of. First of all Muriel by SupiaDoll is so lovely. I feel like there's a kind of fire and longing in her eyes, like she's asking for help, or wishing away her bad circumstances...

I adore her, but her cupid's bow area between her nose and mouth looks a little weird to me... it's not so obvious in this picture, but especially on a darker skin tone, it's a very deep valley and looks very "off". Other than that, she's pretty...

I also think Abadon by LUTS has a certain wistfulness about him too. He looks kind of upset and troubled by something, yet he's one of the few boy sculpts that has really jumped out at me. Despite all his woes, he's still charming I guess.

@stormi I'm glad you found them too! I hope you enjoy her if you do get her!

 

You already mentioned Dollzone, but I thought of DZ Ivan when I read your post. He definitely has that sad kind of quality, I just wanna take him home and wrap him in a happy blanket. (Which I actually plan to do! Hehe~)

 

I think Switch has pretty much almost exclusively this. My favorite is Uhui:R even though I just recently sold mine. I realized lately that my taste in face sculpt has gradually changed so he had to go to a better owner.

Also Volks Kohya/Tohya with the right face-up.

 

Fairyland's Mirwen sculpt is very melancholy. I have her as a Minifee and she's quite lovely!

 

Little Monica's Lariat is a sad, sweet little thing. You just want to give her a cookie.

 

In the Little Monica vein I love Little Jeremy. He looks so happy/sad, like he's smiling though his heart is aching...it's his tareme eyes, they just melt my heart. And because I'm a Bory addict (LUTS) I think the Bory sculpt is very pensive and a little melancholy. Depending on the faceup, he can look so sweet and distant, but he's being stoic.

 

The first BJD I fell hopelessly in love with was DT's Seola, who's about as melancholy as melancholy gets. She seemed so unusual to me, because I was accustomed to smiley happy dolls. Depending on the photo, she can look thoughtful or just sad.
