[Backlog] Fai

In other news, I fail at updating in a timely fashion.

These are a pair of Fai D. Flowright dolls I was commissioned to make for a friend, who commissioned a set of Kuroganes over the summer (who I unfortunately didn't think to take pictures of.) I'm of the opinion that they came out rather nicely, all things considered :3

[Current Project] Wildcat & Hong Kong

So today we have a duo of dolls make for a friend of mine, who's actually gotten a few of these from me before (best customer y/y?) On the left, we have Wildcat from the Webcomic Midnight Navy (not one I'm personally familiar with, but the character designs I've seen so far as references are pretty adorable). On the right we have Hong Kong, from Axis Powers Hetalia. His leg warmers were kinda really fun to make for some reason XD

[Backlog] Russia~

So as many of you may or may not know, I happen to be friends with this awesome person who is infinitely patient in waiting for the dollies owed her at one point (I have since caught up to this debt XD)

Said awesome person also happens to be my guinea pig when I decide to test out making new things ♥

Without further ado, I present my "Big" size dollie~

Some of you may recognize him as Russia from the now popular webcomic turned anime, Axis Powers Hetalia~ He stands approximately 16 inches tall, versus the 10 inches of regular dollies. He actually reintroduced me to the idea of making dolls that could both sit and stand, and since him I've been making my smaller sized dolls able to do the same. His arms also move up and down.

Here's the second view, with him sitting. Also you can see him smiling.

This was also my first foray into trying to make a mini "wig cap" and attaching the hair to it via latch hooking, instead of just hot gluing hair to the head. I think it looks a lot neater now, and it's certainly a lot less painful for my fingers XD

[Backlog] First doll ever?

So,  I've been making these dolls for about 3 years now, and I have to say that I've come a looong way since I started XD I started when I was browsing in the book store, and found a copy of Creepy Cute Crochet, bought it, and learned just how much fun amigurumi was. Since then, I've moved on to making both bigger and smaller sized dolls, and predominantly make the bigger ones these days.

This is the first big doll that I ever made--it's Guy, from Tales of the Abyss. It was a gift to one of my friends for helping me out with a project of mine (cutting a wig to be exact.) Not the greatest thing I've ever made, but overall, not a bad start~

[Current Project] Aradia

So, the other day I finally finished my current commission project. Bringing you pictures because I'm extremely proud with how it turned out. This was an experiment, both in learning how to make pointy hoods/hats, and WINGS. Those wings were quite a challenge, let me tell you XD

This is Aradia, from the webcomic Homestuck. Commissioned by one of my friends. She both sits and stands, her arms move up and down, her wings will technically "flap", and her horns have wire on the inside, so they are pose-able, to a degree.
