gobbo time, pumpkin edition!

i fixed my old berry goblin sculpt up a bit & made this pumpkin version to have something small and cute to test my new 3d printer with. these two printed beautifully and super quickly, but troubleshooting continues because the machine has weird issues with some other filaments.

Hi, love your dolls. Would you ever post a picture of the parts pre-assembly? If the answer is no and you'd rather keep it a "trade secret" I totally understand. I'm into 3d printing, too, but I've never made a bjd. Did you start with a template model or figure out the construction all on your own?

no trade secrets here. i'm actively resisting going on a rant about how much i think trade secrets among artists are bullshit.

i've figured out how to make dolls on my own, but i did handle some bjds before starting, so i had seen and felt the way the joints move. there are free bjd models on thingiverse & other sites one could use, but i wanted my dolls to be 100% mine from the start, so i've never worked with somebody else's models.

here's a pinned bug for a pre-assembly example. the print quality is Rough, but it doesn't really hinder getting the picture.

my knees aren't usually disc-shaped, but for these legs it made sense. the joints i make are pretty simple, and don't have grooves to lock them in place or other such features. filament is much lighter than resin, which makes joint construction and stringing dolls easier. if a joint turns out too slippery, i suede it with thin leather to add friction -> improve posing.

Thank you so much for the response ^^

i am not familiar with this cartoon, but willing to bet that's meant to be Spanish actress Rossy de Palma, who appears in a few Pedro Almodovar films among other things.

i sometimes like characters that fucking suck. when a character is a shit head in just the right way it can be so funny and/or compelling. like this is my beloved character, Asshole The Hater. they suck and i love them. someone dropped them into a ditch on the side of the road and i picked them out of the ditch and put them in my pocket

Fictional characters are good characters when they're terrible people because they're not actually people. They don't exist in the world, their actions have no real effect, they have no legal standing. I can't sue Dee Reynolds. A fictional character is a tool used to tell a story. So if the fictional character helps tell the story well by displaying traits of a bad person, then that is a good character. It's a well-functioning tool. A character can only be bad when they make the story worse. Perhaps their actions are disproportionately wicked, perhaps they're boring. But a compelling asshole makes a better story than a dull moralist.

After years of observing these caddisfly larvae, French naturalist and artist, Hubert Duprat, wondered if the caddis flies would use any materials to build their cocoon. He introduced flakes of gold, pearls and opals to the caddis flies and they did in fact use them for their cocoons. They use their own silk as the glue to hold their pupal constructions together.
