The dilemma...

For a while now, I have been itching to make a new BJD doll in resin.

So I started one (Yo SD size) and here is my dilemma.

I made half the face like I always do... baked it, and then went to make the other half... except the two halves are different and I don't know which I like best. So, help me, please?

 

This is the first option, this is half a face, duplicated and inverted, so I can see what the finished doll will look like. This one is more like a traditional young child, not much "Asian" "Anime" style. It kind of reminds me of an old porcelain doll...

 

I was a fan of this look until I saw it "completed"... now I don't like it much :(

 

And here is the other half of the face, with the more "anime" look, again inverted to show a complete face.

 

 

Although I wanna tweak the eyes a little so they are "smiling" more, I think I like this look better. More Asian/Anime/Yo SD look.

What do you think? Which of the two would fit better in your collection? Which would you buy in resin?

 

Maaaaan, and you think sculpting is hard :( That's the EASY part lol :) Designing... now... THAT's HARD!!

 

And to leave you with something cute, this is Sprocket!!
I make him for John the other day because he was feeling really bad, my poor boy :(

He is a BJD robot. He is still W.I.P because I haven't received his eyes yet and I haven't painted him (cough cough) but he is fully functional and articulated and according to John, LOADS of fun (he has even made up a little voice for him).

Please excuse the dust on my printer (cough! I have been sick ;)) and the tape holding Sprocket's headcap shut (as I said, eyes not here yet!).

 

Cuteness, overloaaaad!!!

 

 

(Ok, I might or I might have not, had 3 cans of Cherry Coke... not the diet kind ;))

SUGAR RUSH!!!!

 

And here is Sprocket's original design!
