Your Jings look really awesome. I'm still waiting on mine.

I also still plan on going with the Doll Chateau adult body because that's the only body I can see this character on. While I save up for a Doll Chateau body, I think I will try him on the other bodies I already have just to see if they'll fit and if it ends up suiting him more than my first plan. Maybe he'll fit one of the bodies I already have.

 

Wow everyone's Jing heads are so lovely! I'm so excited to see what type of face ups they get. Good luck on all the hybridizing adventures.

 

@crappyshappyshaw thank you The body is nice, but the neck is short, so I've modded the neck hole to make the head sit higher and it looks a lot better. The hands are just as gorgeous irl as I hoped they'd be and they were pretty much the main reason I bought the body.Your Jing looks great on that body too, I'll look forward to seeing what you do with him.

@Luckyl The body is really nice, although as I said above, the neck is too short for Jing's big head. I've got to restring him as he's all kinds of kicky and twisty at present. The quality is a bit off in places, with dust trapped here and there and the shoulder blades have a different texture and colour to the rest of the body. All the issues though are fixable and the sculpting is lovely (although from the back he looks like he's got two sets of man baubles ).

I'll hopefully get some time to mess with him this evening and plan his face up and body blushing (I think I've got an idea pinned down now).

 

I've got to see that when you post some more shots of the body!

Here is a shot of my Jing on the Doll Chateau torso I have. I really like the way it looks, but am hesitating about going for a full DC body because of the cost. I need to wait and see how the face-up comes together and see if Jing is going to demand an entire body or be satisfied with just being a head on a torso for a while.

 

@Prince Monochrome Whoop! Guess a lot of people have ideas for DC and Jing hybrids. He just calls to the body, I guess

@beatnik I'm kind of interested in seeing there "man baubles" now I did notice that my head was quite dusty, some pieces not completely sanded off but no big deal.

@Luckyl The body I put mine on is a Ringdoll Grown 02 body. I think he looks pretty proportional, not too large or too small at all. Funny, since the Vic head looks wayyyy too pinheaded on it, but his neck is a little smaller and his head size just a touch smaller than Jing in general.
Really love how the resin match looks! That is DC's white, right? The molding on the neck is really pretty, too. Does it have the extra neck connector on, or is this without?

 

Yes, that is the DC white with the Miracle doll white. The torso has probably yellowed a little since it is a few years old, but does look really good with it. I picked up the torso used by itself without a neck connector in the marketplace. I just have the head stuck on with a wax ear plug for now. I would love to have the rest of the body to go with it, but seriously doubt I will be willing to pay 500.00 just for the body for this project. I really like the new 58 cm Dollzone girl body, but wish it was a bit taller, but may consider one if Jing decides I need to buy her a body.

 

@Luckyl The match is really nice~ You wanted to give Jing a girl body right? That'd be so neat to see once faceupped~ The new DZ bodies are so lovely

 

@Luckyl The head looks great on the female DC body. I'll be looking forward to seeing what you do decide on body wise.

@crappyshappyshaw haha! I'll be sure to post some pictures of his interesting extra appendages once I've had chance to make him some clothing and get his face up finished up

 

I just got an email saying that my Jing head just shipped. I'm so excited. Now I just have to wait for him to arrive.

 

I love the way the Jing head looks on the DC body!

 

I got my Jing head in the mail yesterday. I'll post a picture of him eventually. Maybe after I get his faceup done.

 

I was going to sell my Jing due to issues I'm having with my hands (and his size being too much to handle), but I decided against it and he's now got his face up I'll be doing extensive work on his body too!

Here is Jar:

He is really lovely. The red eyeshadow looks really good on him.

 

I love what you did with him! Does he have a backstory?
I finished my Jing girl concept too and am quite pleased with how she turned out. I had the most fun doing her face-up that I have had in a long time because of how interesting the sculpt is. I hope I did not overwork it, but I kept coming up with ideas I had to try. She is demanding a body now that the character has come to life!

 

@Prince Monochrome thank you! He was great to work on and I'm always drawn to the colour red with my face ups

I don't really do back stories, I just like pretty dolls. Before he arrived I was thinking spooky dr type personage would be my theme, but now he's going to be fully painted up and very decorative, just for aesthetic reasons. He's been a joy to mess around with but I'll admit I had a few goes at this face up before I settled on this one.

I'll keep an eye out for your girl! Have you decided on a body for her yet? If you want to see my head on a female body (impldoll SGB star), you can find me and some hybrid pictures over on instagram (I'm piygie over there).

 

Oh yes. I remember now that you don't do backstories. Oops! Thanks for the info on the Impldoll hybrid option. Jing's head almost looks small on that body for some reason. Maybe it is just the way the neck interfaces with the head, that neck hole is so small it probably cannot sit down further. It was interesting to see the different face-ups you tried on Jing! I liked your first one too, but think you captured something fresh and different with the red one.

 

@Luckyl I think the neck looks odd as I modded Jin's neck hole so it will sit higher on the MD body, so it's too high on the Impl body. The head looks too big to me on the impldoll body, but I'm used to seeing the tiny Vanessa head on there! The neck size on the impl body matches the MD body at 10.5cm so it must be my mod that makes it look off, but the Jing head has his own body so that's not much of an issue for me The Impl body is quite buxom too, so that could also contribute to the sizes looking strange!

The face up process had me a little stumped with this head. I was fairly set on something quite basic and clinical looking before he arrived, but that all changed when I saw him in person. I'm using William Morris for inspiration for the body painting so that's going to take a fair bit of time, but the colours will be in the same vein as his face up. I'll then be making him an outfit, so I anticipate spending a lot of time on this lovely doll!

 

I know what you are saying about being a little stumped by this head. I almost wiped the face-up I was working on a few times, but kept going and it turned out like I envisioned. Your William Morris idea sounds really interesting. It is cool when a doll inspires creativity. Jing has inspired me in that way also. I need to find her a body that will bring my demon temptress character together. I am going to actually put the head on a few bodies I have to see how it actually sits after hearing about your experience before going forward with a body though.

 

Dionysus is at home))

Oooh! I Chihuo! He's looking great, @No_comment . I'm loving all the new Jings too. My Vic is currently waiting for a new body- I'm not thrilled with the match of his current one.
