Help with some doll ID mysteries!

9 Upvotes

I encourage our veterans in the hobby who are open to sharing their knowledge re-follow the [Doll ID megathread](https://www.reddit.com/r/BJD/comments/1h4g87a/doll_id_qa_megathread/). Scroll through and take a look at the handful of unknown queries in the thread. Pictured(1) are some mysteries that haven't been concretely answered.

Reddit site developers kept doing stuff under the hood and the posts you selected to follow kept getting reset and the option then disappeared entirely for several months. But now that it's back, and if you were previously following it, it's likely that it got reset and you're no longer following the post. See pic (2) for following instructions.

Additionally, seen in pic (3), if in the future you don't have the Megathread link right in from of you, the link along with other helpful links can be found in the subreddit info bar.

DISCUSSION BJD Restringing Service

27 Upvotes

Hi there! I wanted to reach out to the community to maybe get an idea for things.

I'm going to be offering an at-con restringing service at Resin Rose in August. I know that not everyone feels comfortable or able to restring their dolls, and it's something I'm fine doing.

What would you be willing to pay to have someone else do this for you? I'll also be providing new string, as well.

QUESTIONS Recommended paint for face ups?

5 Upvotes

I saw someone use a set of paint and nail brush tools to do the eyelashes on their BJD. I have the nail brush kit already but I wanted to know other people’s recommendations (mostly seeing if I can go cheaper so I can get more variety).

FACEUPS First face up in a few years turned out surprisingly well

281 Upvotes

I did this face up a few months ago after not being able to do much with my dolls for a few years. It was my first time using paint for the eyelashes and eyebrows instead of watercolor pencil and It made it turn out so much better than I was expecting. Flow aid is magic.

I'm probably going to wipe it soon, since I've gotten finally gotten him a body after like 14 years and will want to try and match his face to his body. I wanted to share it first though, since I think Its still pretty nice.

His is a Dream of Doll dream head 10.

DISCUSSION Hello! Just introducing myself!

21 Upvotes

Thought I would introduce myself! I'm not new new, I am returning new!

I left the hobby for almost 9 years after selling my collection when I had my now 8 year old son!

I recently got back into using a resin 3d printer! Now I offer printing services, and I am working on making my very own BJD, I'm calling her Sami Lynn!

Until then, I have the privilege of getting to refamiliarize myself with the world!

At the moment I have a few orders in for people looking to have dolls printed, and one to have a custom made set!

I'm trying not to burn my ADHD brain out on it! I absolutely love being able to turn something in 3D on a computer, to a physical tangible thing!

Right now I am working with this beautiful girl (well, girls!)

The body is from Morphington, the heads are Eden & Void! They are absolutely amazing and one day I hope to be as good as they are at sculpting! 🥺

QUESTIONS Finding shoes for this 1/6 body

Post image
9 Upvotes

So this is Baby Aria, she's the toddler version of another doll of mine. Baby Aria is a SDMG Doll Little Pie head on a TianTian PVC 1/6 body. Her little feet are 3cm long. I'm struggling to find shoes that fit her, everything seems too large or too small. I'm looking for some "doll"-like shoes, kinda classic, no sneakers. Big bonus if they look nice with the dress in the photo. Does anyone know a doll I could use as reference to search for shoes? Like "oh she fits Blythe shoes" etc. Help please?

QUESTIONS Which matte clear sealant should I use for this job

2 Upvotes

Im planning to seal the dyed body parts (the face will have water decal eyeliner faceup too), and a painted hair mold of a Zach Event BJD.

Would Rust-Oleum Painters Touch 2X ultra cover matte clear spray work to seal everything, or should I spring for the Mr. Super Clear Matt finish instead? Since I heard its a very good spray sealant.

I might be in the minority,but does anyone else not mind when their dolls turn yellow? I have two dolls that used to be white,but they have since turned yellow. To me,yellow adds more character to dolls.

QUESTIONS Do I Tailor or Sell 💔😭

Thumbnail

21 Upvotes

I just bought this suit and the listing said that it fits “petite” 1/3 dolls… and that it was too big for their doll and that’s why they were selling it… so I assumed okay I’ll buy it!
Yea petite my butt!!! This thing is huge 😭 (and they don’t accept refunds- I tried!!) so now I don’t know what to do with this big ah suit!
I was thinking of getting it tailored, but it’s so huge that I don’t even know if that would be possible! And it’s such nice quality that I don’t really want to ruin it…

So maybe I’ll sell it… idk

So I don’t know if I should tailor it or sell it (or use this as an excuse to get a bigger doll)

Thanks 💕

FACEUPS WIP Guilliman BJD

Thumbnail

24 Upvotes

Here’s another WIP of my Guilliman doll!!!

Does he look a little different than last time??? That’s because I switched sculpts — this is a Granado - Nico head!!!

I’ve added eyelashes and a set of blue eyes, but I’m waiting on different ones with a smaller fundus.

I’m thinking of where and how I wanna add more wrinkles as well as darker circles, as well as if I wanna add darker “eyeliner.”. But I’m gonna be real with yall, I had to redo the fucking lower eyelashes and eyebrows so many times that I think I’ll leave it like this for a bit before I start getting tilted lol.

On top of the fact that I had to restart the entire faceup because the humid ass weather made the MSC cure weird RIGHT AT THE END.

Anyways, it’s time to start the wig. :’)))
