Utena and Anthy are done!!! Honestly took longer then I was expecting, but they turned out better then I expected. I was trying to paint their faces to look like how they are in the show instead of my own style. I think these dolls took the most time, are the most detailed and the most complicated dolls I've made so far!
She’s here and will smear the walls with you if you stand in her way! Jack is one of my favourite Mass Effect characters and I’ve wanted to make a doll of her for ages. Hope you enjoy!
Everything made by me expect the following:
* Trousers - Kosucas on etsy, modified by me
* Boots - standard Monster High (not sure which doll), modified by me
* Stand - modified basic Monster High doll stand
Original doll is a second hand Cleo de Nile

This is Shep! Shep is a Barbie Extra #2 pet head on a My Scene guy body that was spray painted white to match.
The biggest challenge was getting this head--which only has a big squared-off cavity inside where it was attached without rotation to the original small dog body--attached to the old-style "the head has a flanged knob that goes into the otherwise flat neck" Ken body. I'm sure I could have rigged up something that would allow for tilt, but, since the body was being painted, a rotation-only cut joint was fine (there's less chance for paint rub with that kind of joint.)
Not too long ago, I realized that twisty lip balm tubes could be scavenged to make a cut joint, and this is the first project where I tried that out. I trimmed the tube down close to the base and puttied it into the body neck opening with the cut part down, making sure the end could still rotate freely. I put a small screw into the center of the end, to provide more for the putty to grip; I also put the lip balm cap into the head, open-end-up, to fill some of the space inside. (I'll mention here that I also Dremeled the head opening to be larger and rounder so it would fit without conflict where I wanted it.) Then I put more epoxy putty around the screw and smooshed the head onto it so it was low enough to hide the putty holding the lip balm end in place, then let it cure. The connection is solid and the head rotates freely, but with enough friction to hold a pose. I'm happy it worked!
Cherix and TechNicole, finally together. I still haven’t settled on the exact nature of their relationship, although I’m getting more of a cousins or BFF vibe than sisters or girlfriends. Maybe they are like me and my cousin— BFFs growing up, as adults have a loving, “would help one another bury a body & take the secret to our grave”, “we’re family so we have to put up up with the other’s crap”, mutually alternating feelings of pity and jealousy, vaguely antagonistic rival relationship.
The Licca-chan television and the rest of my order got lost in Japan for over a year. (It’s actually a really funny story. But also a long story, and I’m on the phone.)
@yami-yomiel @moodymouse-clubhouse thanks for the names!
Her head's from an electronic seapony toy, on a DC-SHG body I modified to give her cartoonish hooves. I also made her jewelry, dress, and little leg cover thingies.
She turned out really cute and I'm very pleased with her!
This Deuce I drew in 2022 still get likes here sometimes, so I wanted to share with you that I actually repainted my new son following this old sketches I did. ^^
[I might paint the snakes later but he looks fine for now]

I don’t really know if there’s a large custom doll community on Tumblr but I wanted to share my Frankenhooker custom I made from a super thrashed Frankie my friend gave me
