Over the past few months I’ve been OBSESSED with BJD and doll customizations and I finally did one last night!!

This is my Penny’s Box custom of Red Fox, the Last picture above was the before, and I am absolutely in love with her ahhh she is SERVING!! I’m really proud of it ahh 🥺🦊🍂

Some progress pics below! I also unstrung her to do some body blushing, I also edited her outfit to suit her new colour palette a little more! (Her original socks were also bright orange but I found these brown ones on kikagoods and liked them way more!!)

This fancy gal is a Mystic Kids Petra in normal yellow skin and belongs to my wife. She was a fun sculpt to work on and bring to life!

Yes, she is holding a miniature working compass in her hand! I love little details like that.

She is on the V2 1/3 girl body, which is nice but hoo boy does it have a lot of locks. It almost feels over engineered with the locks in all the joints. Getting her from sitting back to a standing position is a fight! But at least the body is pretty and poses well, no idea why the feet are so small though...

just a little compilation of the plethora of custom doll stuff i've been making in the past several months :D currently featuring: Rani (Soom R.Breccia), Rinshi (Soom Onyx), and Yeomra (Withdoll Margery)

and so, here's a longass detailed ramble on my current state of progress so far:

fully modeled & printed rani's new body (not shown here) and dragon parts! but still need to do sanding/clean up and reprint her forearms with adjustments. also should reeeallyyy make her custom hands and feet since i'm just using some spare super gem ones rn and they just look WAY too tiny for her lmao.....

dye job for rinshi! she still needs a faceup badly though...! also i really wanna wipe rani's face, dye her properly (she's currently airbrush tanned), and then redo it at the same time i paint rinshi, but i also like her having a face still while working on styling her wig... and i know the whole process there is gonna take me quite awhile so.... mrrrr. (continues procrastinating on it)

modeled & printed horns for rinshi and yeomra too~ still brainstorming how i wanna do rinshi's dragon tail, though, which is going to be super long and also Quite An Adventure. orz

wigs! i've been slacking a bit on putting together the part for yeomra even though she has the simplest hairstyle of the three by far. meanwhile rinshi has some partially swept back bangs with her hairline showing and i'm going to try ventilating a lace front for her and that'll be Yet Another Adventure lmao... but at least in the meantime, i DO really love how her hair streaks containing multiple shades of pink came out. it makes me think of candy... and lesbians. and I Love It. (i've also started attempting styling on rani's wig and i'm also very much procrastinating on that too, lord, help me)

and finally, my most recent work, accessories for rani's outfit!! this isn't everything, either - some things still need sanding, some reprinting, and the stuff for her shoes aren't even ready to print yet - but oh my god LOOK AT THOSE TINY CHROMED BUTTONS AND THE SUPER NEON PINK CRYSTAL PARTS. I'M OBSESSED WITH ALL THIS STUFF. SO COOL!!!!! sooo cool..... girl i just love shiny things and transparent things and pink things.... wowie. wow. i made all that......? wow............

I found a BJD maker called Lina Chouchou (click here for the English website) and they sell resin cat ears. What caught my attention though, is the way they recommend how to attach them in case your doll doesn’t have magnets on its head. You might find it useful for things like ears and horns and might help keeping the wig in place.

Faceup done! Zenon is ready and waiting on his wig.

  ... I'm gonna indulge in my trichophilia and make this one the longest wig ever!  With white and purple and blue hair! 💕✨
