Ball-jointed Dolls (need opinions)
7 years ago
Hey everyone! I plan on getting into sculpting very soon, just need to buy some stuff first.
I am torn between some options; making furry figures, like the anime figures you see everywhere but furry characters, making ball-jointed furry dolls, or making bust like sculptures of furry characters. I don't see a lot of people making ball-jointed dolls within the community, at least not of other people's furry characters. So I thought that would be really interesting to do! For right now I just need opinions because I want to tailor what I do to what you guys want to see!
I think the figures might be the easiest for me to do, honestly, since I dont have any experience stringing a doll or really making the parts for one. I planned on printing doll parts and covering them with a thin amount of clay and kind of sculpting over the printed base, but the base itself would take around 3 days to print all the parts (I have a small printer). But maybe something like that would be worth it in the end? I do enjoy sculpting a lot, so it could be an interesting challenge for me. What do you guys think?
TLDR: I want to get into sculpting but dont know if I should try furry figures (like anime figures), busts, or ball-jointed dolls. I need opinions.
