Phobia : a new faceplate for my bjd Awcouq

So, I realized a bit ago that my bjd Awcouq, a doll I made similar to my doll Inkx, needed a new face sculpt. When I originally released the doll online as STLs, it had a separate faceplate that was blank with no features because I imagined people would be able to customize the face with digital sculpting. But now Awcouq needs their own face sculpt so they can standout.

I was inspired by Lenaruiiz’s sculpt Seraphim (https://www.instagram.com/p/DVim6ljDgZg/ )

so as I sketched out the initial idea I was making the silhouette similar to Seraphim’s helmet. I wanted it to be different though so I thought for a bit and landed on going in a sheep/goat direction.

Initial Sketches:

I sketched two characters at first because of some specific lore I have for the primary character represented by Awcouq. So I wanted to imagine what they’d be individually then I combined them to get the final sculpt design. Also, I’m personally not interested in sculpting fur or fluff on my sculpts cause it keeps the sculpt more open to customizing. (I’m also not sure I’m good a sculpting it yet so there’s that too)

Final Sculpt:

For this face I’m building off another sculpt I’ve made that has the eye shape I wanted. I actually have 6 other human face sculpts for other characters that I’ve made. When making them I chose to model and remesh them instead of just sculpting it, since I work in blender and things can get hard to work with when I have like 10 objects that I’m boolening to make a sculpt. This pervious work made it easy to edit the face to make Awcouq’s new faceplate!

I'm pretty proud of the sculpt! I'll be test printing it soon with filament and I hope to sell prints of it along with prints of Awcouq at a local convention in september.

WiP - Vox BJD - Pants & Shirt

Finally FINALLY i can tackle Vox, his body arrived a day before the Dokomi and ofc I had no time to work on him and needed some time to recover after the Con even but now I can finally start on him. Not to the extent I would love to as I just can't stand two bodies being completely unworked on but I want to get two pieces done for him.

So first thing was making pattern and cutting the pieces for the pants. And as I was at it I wanted to change his face and discovered... some paint wasn't cooperating and there was a repaint session incoming.

But I found the fitting face for the first step. I decided to make a neckband for him to avoid painting the neck as it would chip fast than I could fix it again.

Then I started on the pants, it's somehow... interesting to see as Alastor's outfit back in the day was my first suit and pants with fly and now I whip them up like it's nothing.

Well "Nothing" isn't true as due the weirdness of the body I had to sew his pants closed a bit I remember this being an issue with Alastor's pants as well but I had the gap covered up differently.

Buttons added and we have pants!

Next up is the shirt and I have to admit I had a cold while working on him and felt glad I didn't plan to finish him that weekend. Therefore I took a break before I continued with the shirt.

But after the break the shirt worked out quite okay, there is a few things I maybe could have done better but ..

I sewed on that stupid snap button at his neck 4 times and was tired of resewing it, I could replace it again. Maybe once I am less annoyed by it.

And we have a shirt! So here is Vox after day 1 of sewing, next up is the bowtie.

Oh and I fixed the faces they are all nice again, here is just an inbetween step before I painted the teeth.

And I wired him the next day as his noodly legs were ... not helpful while testing the fit.

"Tutorial" on how to draw an OC with dwarfism (well, some of it).

Boring tired disclaimer: Keep in mind that this is an introductory "drawing" "tutorial" and has some generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People. Which happens to be true for everything in general.

You are heavily encouraged to do your own research because this does not contain everything you should know before making a character with any type of dwarfism.

Consider supporting me on ko-fi if you find this to be helpful.

If (when) you repost this on pinterest at least put a link to the original post somewhere..

Having a traumatic childhood means you cannot talk even objectively about your basic foundational experiences without it being "venting", even if you're not actually venting. You just straight up have a huge chunk of your life you can't talk about, full stop, without it being trauma dumping.

And it not being socially acceptable to talk about your own childhood is super alienating. Sometimes people want to know why, and any answer you can give them is going to be off putting.

It's to the point I get irritated when something I said is framed as venting when I'm literally just talking about my life experiences, doing my best to keep emotion out of it.

when I was in high school, I overheard two older students talking about a friend of theirs.

One of them said something like, "it doesn't bother me that [Friend] was in residential mental health treatment, I just wish they wouldn't talk about it ALL the time".

The other replied, "Well, that was all of last year for them. So when they say 'when I was in treatment,' it's like when you say 'last year'."

I try to remember that any time someone says something that sounds Shocking to me. sometimes one person's scary special crisis is another person's last year.

If you want to be accepting of mental illness, you need to accept the fact that some people's everyday lives are going to be terrifying to you. That doesn't mean they don't get to talk about it. Stop forcing hurt, isolated people to become even MORE hurt and isolated because you can't fathom toughening up a bit.

i've noticed that some fantasy authors tend to run into a dilemma where they make a huge ancient sick as fuck secret society of wizards or demon hunters or whatever that their protagonists also belong to. and then add in an element of institutional corruption which like ok fine i like that. but then they get too attached to their institutionally corrupt secret society bc they have become too enamored by the aesthetics they gave it, so they get trapped by the obvious pitfall of making a cohort of "real villains" within it that are obvious two-dimensional bigots which are contrasted by a virtuous ally faction who want to reform the system from the inside. and that's soooo laaaammmeeee

[viscericorde]

this is why despite my frustration for some of the shortcomings of babel i do respect rf kuang for rejecting this notion entirely. there's no one in the narrative seriously arguing for the position of "what if we reform 1820s oxford from the inside bc silverworking is Sick as Fuck :)"
