Sister, Sister, Brother, Brother

I have two sets of sisters, one group from Dream of Doll, and the other from Volks. Despite each set coming from the same company, I did not think much about the molds resembling each other. I show their bonds more from coordinating clothing, wigs, or how I pose them.

Example below

 

I actually have 3 instances of this:
Rupert (Pukipuki Pongpong) and Pimento (Pukipuki Cupid 3) are cousins (ok, not quite brothers, but they are very close)

Talen (Resinsoul Wu) and Sabrinna (Iplehouse Benny) are brother and sister.

And Zen (Loongsoul/Obitsu hybrid), Kevin (Blueblood Valentine), and Cordillia (Minifee Shiwoo) and Sister, Brother, Sister (respectively)

 

I have one big family of japanese ogres. Brothers, sisters, mother ,father, grandmother and so on. Most of them are from the same company (Another Secret), the others are from Miracledoll and dollmore. The dollmore are the less similar to the rest of the family.

 

This is awesome! I love how big the family is. You have them all dressed so beautifully. The whole scene is gorgeous.

 

My siblings are Roux (Elfdoll Rainy Vivien Reminisce mod.+Supia original body), Léon (NyxDoll Limos+Dikadoll 62cm boy body ver. 4) and Claudia-Nicolette (Dollmore Narsha sister Zihu)

The only siblings I have are Daisy and Beatrice.
Daisy is a Lati Cara on a Kid Delf body and Beatrice is a Dollmore Narsha. While hey have slightly different facial shapes, the individual features are quite similar when looked at closely, so provided that one takes after her mother and the other takes after her father I think it works.
They also have a cousine, Lilja, who is a Lati Shaina. She is a different colour and styled very differently, but since the Shaina and Cara heads are done by the same sculptor, there is a little bit of a family resemblence there.

 

Hayk (Bimong Narin68 Grey) and Oshidori (Joydoll Lai x 2DDoll 68cm girl) are the only siblings in my crew...

My doll characters are inspired by the sculpts themselves, so I bought the dolls on their own merits and didn't have siblings in mind at first. Then when I looked closer at their head sculpts, they seemed to have a family resemblance. That became more obvious when they came home: eyes with an upturned slant, monolid eyelids, blunt straight nose with a rounded tip, similar expression around the mouth. They're both distinctively East Asian in sculpting, which is different from all my other dolls.

Somehow they contrived to have family resemblance in their bodies too -- both have really large hands and long fingers. Couldn't have planned this, but it delighted me so much!

To show their sibling resemblance, I painted their faceups with the same colour palette, picked eyes that give them the same mood, and pose them in similar ways for photos. They dress differently so I try to accessorize them similarly. I'm still amazed that they come from different sculptors in different countries, but managed to converge like this.

 

I actually have quite a few siblings. Most notable is the Anders family where Kiera, is IP JID Sylvia. Gerhardt, who belongs to my wife, DE, is a Dollmore Kyle more commonly referred to as The Doctor or Dr Anders. Summer the youngest of the siblings is Zoall Luv. Old photo but here they are together. I should do more with them together. Summer and the Doctor are more frequently seen together. (Note: Height variations are due to the lay of the land. The Doctor is by far the tallest of all of them)

There are more but a couple of recent developments in my crew are Wyatt (5th Motif Venitu) who now has a younger brother, Artemis (Dollshe Aramus) who hasn't yet shown up officially in any story. Wyatt is a motorcycle mechanic and Artemis is a short order cook.



The other recent change is that my IP NYID Bianca whose name is Feather, now has a brother. She's a little wild and I photographed them together once and brother/sister really became apparent to me. Jesse boards horses and Feather, well she's all over the place and even though she is a bit of a troublemaker she is very high on my personnel favorite list.
