MY LACE AND HORNET GIJINKA DOLLS ARE FINALLY DONE!!!
HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR SO LONG AND PLANNING THIS FOR EVEN LONGER I AM SO HAPPY TO FINALLY BE DONE LOL!!!!
notes + closeups under the cut!!
I have literally never done doll customising before lol. I am extremely new to sewing and I barely do any traditional art so im happy these came out as well as they did! They are a little janky and amateur but all things considered I think they're pretty good for a total beginner :) | am very relieved to finally be done tho
I actually had no set gijinka designs before starting these, just sorta went off whatever felt right and also took some inspiration from other designs l've seen. The ones that inspired me most were @/onionsu 's and @/minart-was-taken 's :D I think | subconsciously used some of th same elements as theirs too so oops I hope you guys don't mind
OH also the little hornet figure in one of the photos is by forrksie, while the lace one is by my sister who doesn't really have any social media
SO MUCH TRIAL AND ERROR. I think that's the main reason this took so damn long. I had to redo so many things so many times bc I don't know what im doing 💀
Some of the clothes I bought instead of making just to save myself some suffering lol. the ones I did not make are lace's shirt (tho I did add the gold accent) lace's pants and shoes, and hornets pants (which I added the string to) and shoes. Kinda annoyed at how modern hornet's shoes are buuuut they were the best ones I could find
Closeups! I added sparkles to her skin :) I had to paint the skin tones on both to get the one I wanted, and on lace the joints showed through.... I tried to work it into the design and I thiink it works
Tho I did want her hair to be much tighter curled and more consistent sizes sigh. But it's kinda hard to control them so I wasn't able to manage it
I was planning on giving her a different hat that looks more like her ingame head but once I did the hair I realised it wouldn't work </3 | think it probably would've looked better if I did do that but ohwell
I have run out of image space ughhh. I guess this will be the last closeup. Hornet's face is one of my favourite aspects of this whole project I am very happy with it she looks so cutes :) I was SO indecisive on what hairstyle to give her but I think this one is pretty good! I can't include more photos but thwre is also a bun at the back
I LOVE THE ROSARY STRINGS I FOUND THE PERFECT BEADS FOR IT I gotta make a bracelet or something for myself with the leftovers
I liked the herrah mask pin some people drew her with so I gave her that:) also shakra's rings
Omg one last thing. I fucking hate resin guys. Tried to use it as a varnish on some things here and it's HORRIBLE!!!! Somehow got through to my hands THROUGH TH GLOVES and some of it possibly got in my eye tho I'm not sure. rinsed them 1000 times tho nonetheless it they were dry as fuck for days after. I hate resin
The Terra hair piece I ordered has finally arrived. I put him in a matching couple outfit with lil Aqua even though it's not something he'd usually wear hehe (Sacrifice for your waifu for once, bro)
Hair is made by the amazing Wang from TopClayArts on Etsy!
This is definitely my favourite faceplate for Aqua that I've gotten so far. Ish sooooo cute. (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Wish there was an option for a slightly more accurate skin tone for Terra but there isn't, really. The shade below this is a bit too dark.
A breather from all the Sephqua/Aquaroth content I've been sharing (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧
Now the Wayfinder Trio dolls are complete~
Hope you guys like it! They'll be happily living with me, away from big sads and dumb dumbs like evil!Xehanort ⊂(￣▽￣)⊃
Chelly Wood Kelly pattern (https://chellywood.com):
Dress composed of bodice + skirt+sleeves (different lengths). Includes tutorial
Looking for size comparisons I found that Kelly from Barbie is a 1/12 doll and patterns for this doll can be used on dolls of similar sizes, although length for skirts and dresses might vary.
