Please forgive the shakiness and also my poor explanations---it is the first time I've done such a tutorial and am terrible at it!

And here is a snapshot of the 2 Pchan heads---the left one is 'unmodified' original shape, while the right one is the same head (Pchan) after the thread modification.

Thanks again! Hope it helps, twinage-san.


Nice! This tutorial is very nice! Your explanation is not poor at all, a bit shaky but that still fine.
Now I know how you can thread the needle since it become so squishy :3 I was afraid that hot water may melt the head but seems like obitsu head will be fine.

Can you please take a picture around the ear area as I can't really see where the thread going on? My eyesight is not too good :(
Also, won't the thread inside can disturb/be disturbed with the S hook that connecting the head?

Now that her chubby cheek gone, I need to find a way to make the cheek bone is not too obvious since the head will look like square-ish rather than oval if I do the thinning, hmm....

:hugs: Awww, thank you SO much, VV-sama!!!!! Your kind words REALLY made my day! Thank you for writing! It meant a lot to me! :) :hugs again: I just can't help but make 1/3 bjds of my favorite anime/comic couples!!!



twinage-san, sure, I'll snap a photo of modified threaded ears so you can see. I'm glad the tutorial helped a bit!

When I attach the head, I just push the thread to the front or back, keeping it out of the way of the S hook. It doesn't interfere at all. ^^

:hugs:

Take care,
Setsuna

Thank you Setsuna-san! And glad that the string won't interfere with the S hook.

While I won't make my BJD exactly same as my favorite anime/game but rather make an entirely new character that fused with my personality, I will make her to cosplay A LOT (I think :lol: )
She is here to dress in something that we just can't wear everyday ;) I already plan to sew a lot of character cloth I want after making her official oufit.
But since her body hasn't come, this feeling is killing me lol
