CANARY : A Journey to BJD land
I have always been fascinated by Ball Jointed Doll, Special Thanks to my friends at Banshee Doll and collaborator, i have my own BJD realized. We did 10 copy this time so dm me if you interested of buying one, or you have any question about the process.
Started as the base body of my Fairy Fighter project.
Resculpted Head/Portrait
me and my friends as Banshee started to work on the Stylization of the Body and Joint calculation.
First Print test and assembly.
After countless modify on the physical prototype, we hit a sweet spot for aesthetic and felxible of the joints, we did some basic pose for the prototype.
Instead of PU Resin for the final casting product, we decided to use Epoxy Resin instead. Epoxy Resin have a Translucent property so we can control the Subsurface amount and Color. This is a makeup test for fun as we tried to mix the casting color.
I realized my Phone's camera don't do any justice as the final casting looks better in real life, the SSS is spot on, we dont have to paint anything in the final product.
Casting Prototype assembly and pose test. The weight of the casting is heavier than the Print prototype, so another round of joint modify. We did some makeup on the face and make her eyes too.
Ater another round of molding for the modified part ,we did our final casting process.
And there she is,i was surprise too, with Smooth Skin and the beautiful Wig my collaborator make, she looks ethereal .
Check out the dope photo my friend take.
Some more makeup test
