Dollfie Option Parts
Chun tries her dab hand at making custom Dollfie heads and comes up with a most gorgeous cutesome daughter!
Have a look at the photos that she posted on her burogu and at figure.fm - then look at how the blank head looks like to appreciate her ninja makeup skills. The option head cost 3,800 yen for those who are interesting in making their own.
Original text from chun below.
Mooo~ Test face up, her brows are a bit misaligned-- driving me a bit batty :P but otherwise due to the bangs covering it's not obvious i guess ^^;;
A few more pix and some info at figure.fm and mai broggu ^^/

Ooh looks cute. ^^
So did you purchase a DD Dynamite body and blank head separately to assemble into one whole new Dollfie? Looks like it's a nice option to create you're own Dollfie but from what you wrote it seems some experience and dexterity is necessary to pull it off well.
Do like how you did the make-up and face, makes the Yukino sculpt look less 'sad' that it does by default.
Must resist the Dollfies... argh...

yes ^o^ I wanted to try my hand at doing the make up at least to see if I can do it ^^; Drawing on 3D head is different from drawing on a sheet of paper ^^; I think she still looks a little melancolic tho! :P resistance is FUTILE! lol

I don't think she looks melancholy, I think she looks like she's lost in thought, or maybe daydreaming. As you can see, I has a Yukino-type. In the case of my Yumiko-tan, I think that she's thinking about how she would compose what she's looking at in a camera viewfinder. Yumiko wants to direct, you know...

Oh yeah, one other thing. The slightly raised eyebrow is nice. Don't change it. "Honor thy mistake as a hidden intention." -- Brian Eno, Oblique Strategies.

I actually did not raise the eyebrows too much, not a fan of surprised look lol but if anything I may see if I can adjust it (may just leave it in case I ruin the whole face up ^^;)

I find it awfully hard to concentrate on the brows here. I'm afraid you may have to post a seperate shot.
Congrats. Both looks so cute! Great photo! ><; ... BTW Moko-tan looks cute to. Really like the photo when I see her. ^^

It looks amazing, but I don't know what it is about dollfie I just can't get into them. It seems like it can get really expensive, even more so than figures already do.

How true, how true. And new wigs. And new eyes. And props. And furniture. It really is like having a daughter, you know. At least I won't have to pay for a wedding. Or baby shower. Or college for her kids.
???Confused???
Wow, those are some awesome skills...actually awesome is an understatement...words just can't describe...

I think she's a bit anxious that I might forget about her ^^; I can feel her kinda having a "what about me" vibe :P
unemployed machinist.. yeah
Having two daughters myself now.. I sorta get that feeling out of Illya now that Rin is here. but, I do what I can. All we can do really. Was poking around your blog earlier, see the new shirt for the Dynamite base. Honestly I'm curious as to how you go about patterning what you do.. I started fooling around with making a dress for Illya.. its sort of working out.. but, even though I'm working in cheap cloth first.. can't figure out how to pull it all back apart to make it a pattern.
Basically I've got trillions of questions, and not a lot of assistance ^_^ I'll continue to soldier on though.

I used paper and tape then cut it apart to make pattern ^^/ cheaper fabric helps too for test runs :) but remember not to use dark colours ^^;

Ooh if you have good skills in making the head then cheap heads abound!
And like others I don't notice the brows because of ... the bangs covering them...

wow she did a better job than what I did with my Head 03, I still can't get the lips right.
I think the eyebrows look fine they give her character instead of that "bleh" look Yukino sometimes gets - like she is staring off into space or something

oh! I think the staring off into space thing could be because of the eye placement (Which reminds me I need to probably remove the iffy hot glue sometime :P
unemployed machinist.. yeah
First thing I did with both my daughters.. and the head of my evantual third daughter.. Get rid of that horrid hot glue.. does ya no favors for sure. Aquilla's got a great entry in her blog on how to do that. Came in very handy for me.

If 3800 is how much a blank face costs, how much is a designed one? Honestly though, a lot of the dollfies look the same even if they're from different characters. Maybe I'm just not looking carefully enough.
