Dollposting Time
Finishing up my current project in order to move on to the next one, so thought I'd post about it here a bit.
a while back i bought a lot of random used dolls off ebay (as you do), and mixed in with the busted up Monster Highs and whatnot was a couple of these Shopkins dolls. now i know tastes differ and all but i think these things are hideous, and they're also quite small (about 6in high). that combined with its bizarre proportions meant i was kind of at a loss for what to do with it. The hair was in rough shape so I cut it off.
the Shopkins sat around in my parts box for like a year until i played Cult of the Lamb and was like. wait.
this head shape.
so i dove in and did some surgery.
i dont have any pictures of the process, which involved sawing off her feet and then sanding down the bow details and parts of her face, but i did that and then primed and painted it and made some new parts out of air dry clay
yes. i think this will work.
he needs to be fluffy, though. i wanted him to be fluffy.
by lucky chance i found a child's sheep-themed fleece hoodie at the thrift store and ended up snipping off little bits and gluing them on
obviously he doesn't have feet, so. back to the air-dry clay.
the Shopkins did not stand up on its own, with its dinky little feet and giant head. I managed to make hooves for Lamb that DO allow him to stand up! he's not the most stable thing in the world, but he CAN stand.
now i'm finally finishing up the accessories
he just needs his collar, a crown, and some touchups on his fluff. (also i somehow dinged up his ear a little so i need to repair that)
all in all im pretty pleased with how he's coming out, especially given that he started out looking like this
