Dollieh Sanctuary

...Only no actual ocarina yet. I need to check my Sculpy stash for that I think...

I've always wanted a bit awesome poseable action figure of Link from Ocarina of Time. There is a big awesome action figure of Link...from Skyward Sword. Which isn't the one I want so I took matters into my own hands.



....I have no good location to take pictures. I nearly ran out of thread putting this together! It was an old spool. Link's signature green tunic and hat. Ocarina Link looks like he's wearing tights under it along with a tight white shirt, so to cut down on bulk the doll is actually wearing a white bodysuit with the collar (and feeties! as combination socks and insurance that I won't loose his feet inside his boots). The collar could be better but I feel like it's pretty good for a first attempt! I'm actually pretty pleased with it. He obviously needs his hair cut back a lot more, but for now I was mostly chopping it back to keep it out of the way. He also needs his face wiped and repainted because the doll was originally someone else but I don't know how much of that I'll be able to do until the weather improves.
Up next is boots and other assorted leather bits, which may end up being leather because I have a nice bit piece of brown from a bag of scraps, or might be microsuede I'm not sure yet. I've got a narrow brown belt that might work for his belts but it's a little wider than I'd like so I'm not sure yet. I need to find some thin cardboard to build the soles out of before I can start on his boots though.



I'm thinking of getting a tub of apoxie sculpt, to sculpt the hand pieces of his gauntlets directly onto all his hands. It seems easier that way. ...Plus give him long ears and sculpt the feathers onto Epona's legs so I can repaint her and maybe make a bunch of accessories out of it because I don't know when to stop and probably have an over-inflated idea of what I can do with a material that I've never used before.

Once you have tried Apoxie Sculpt, you will find all sorts of useful things to do with it! And this looks like a great start! I am looking forward to seeing your progress.

Thanks! It might be a while before there's much progress with the rest, I'm sort of at an impasse until I get some tiny buckles and the Apoxie. I have a feeling you're right about that, I was originally gonna just get the smallest container I could find but now I'm probably going to go for it and order a pound tub. See how long it lasts me.

Fantastic start! i can't wait to see more. Keep us posted!

Thanks! And glancing back at the thread reminds me that I never put up a pic of the most recent round of work I've done.



Super SUPER rough mockups of boots and gauntlets in microsuede and a scrap tied as a belt. I'm going shopping tomorrow, hopefully I'll be able to find some tiny buckles to start working on that stuff for real. If not I'll have to order them online. He's also got a shorter haircut and ...most of a new face. He has eyebrows now, I promise.


Here's proof. I'd forgotten to give him eyebrows and had to go back and add them the next day. Fortunately with all the other stuff I was working on I hadn't put the paints away!

He just looks so much more like himself with even just the crappy unhemmed mockups, I'm pretty pleased.

I love his boots!

Haven't been on here forever, but I'm still working on this project Only I scrapped all the stuff from my previous posts and started over. He was just too big and built. That doll will be Fierce Deity from Majora's Mask, eventually.

Now I've got a 21cm Obitsu body and I've remade the bodysuit and tunic (Zora tunic this time, just to have a different color to work with) and shortened his belt to fit. And he's got a new horse, a 1:9 Breyer Clydesdale mare who needed some TLC. Where TLC means a new ear. And I've lengthened her tail because it was kind of stubby. She needs a bit of paint and he needs a head, but they're coming along. Next up for him is some boots, I think.
