Dolls blog

So here’s what I started with! An old formerly-Lottie-dolls-and-then-who-knows-what floating head! With a mjd body from a blind box doll. It was one of the very first iterations of blind box “bjd” (this one was not ball jointed) so the joint quality did *not* stand the test of time. I’d almost thrown out the body a few times but always held onto it “just in case.”

I sculpted the missing leg and hand, and decided to sculpt the whole face instead of attempting to cut away at it or go for something more subtle. Many masks in the game feel like they’d be made of stone, so I figured it would fit thematically.

Next was just a rough outline I could follow for the cloak/wings.

Picking some materials I had on hand (again, following the waste-not theme.)

A test to see how it might come together..

Putting it together and adding sparkles (it’s not me if there are no sparkles..✨) Also wired the edge of the cloak for moveability (if you see where I messed up my own cloak pattern….no you dont (ᵕ•_•) ..

..found a VERY old wig that wasn’t being used.

And viola!! I want to add some glow in the dark paint to the inside of the cloak and may adjust some details. But overall I think I got good results for an impulsive afternoon!
