> First Head Mod and 1/6 bjd faceup (x-posted)

This lil critter has no name but for now he is just my test head. Emory has a few of these Dollzone BB heads for a good price so I got one to experiment on with no fear of ruining an expensive doll. It also helped that I wasn't super fond of the sculpt to begin with so I made a few changes. The shape of the nose and the lips bugged me a bit with the proportions. The upper lip was super thick and deep in a odd way and the nose was a little snoutish because of the nostril placement. I ended up giving him some teeth and making the nostrils wider to thin the septum a bit. I also shaved down the side of his nose bridge a little.


As you can see the changes aren't drastic but it was fun to do.



Here he is painted. I have to say I'm not so good at doing BJD faces yet. I'm not super happy with his eyebrows, eyelashes or his lips so at some point I will redo his face. His eyes are sculpted unevenly so when I redo his face I'll go in and try to balance things out a bit more too. Hopefully I'll get better and more precise with my eyelashes and mouths.
