Just chilling

Thought I’d take some simple photos of Ye Rin since I have her on a body right now. I just felt like taking her out, and then realized that I sold her eyes and never got her any replacements, so I had to quickly make her a pair. They look very good in her, surprisingly, but unfortunately I scratched them by trying them in her before they were completely cured, so I have to make her another pair. That’ll take a while because I ran out of rubber gloves and my last batch of bases didn’t turn out great, lol. Anyway, she has temp eyes now that look surprisingly good in photos.

But. I’m going crazy trying to find her a body. I’ve found one I’d like, but the company stopped making urethane resin, and I’m veeery hesitant going for french/imported/whatevertheywannacallit, because I just don’t like the look of it. Especially in pale skintones. But at the same time I can’t find any 2nd hand dolls on the specific body nor can I find anything else plausible. Dikadoll has an okay body but it has a bood joint ofc. And everything else is just not good enough for me. There are plenty in the 60cm category that I could use, but their shoulders are not wide enough, so Yerin needs to be 63cm+. And even with the Loongsoul body I’d like, I’d have to re-shape the chest and get it different hands and feet (and there’s a possibility that the neck and shoulders aren’t wide enough).

Damn, do I want to get her a body. It’s not satisfying at all borrowing this for her because I can’t make her much clothes (she wears pants) as they might not fit her actual body when I get it. And this one doesn’t have shoes available for it because of Zeniths giant feet. And Ye Rin likes shoes. :/ Let’s not even mention that the Zenith body is literally all leg. I hate that in a doll (though might be unavoidable for 63cm female bodies anyway). It’s just not nicely proportioned for my human characters at all. I don’t mind it for Sigrun and Iria but Ye Rin just can’t do it.

Took some simple portraits of her yesterday. She looks a bit blank though, and it might be the eyes. I’mma try making her another size too when I make her new ones. (And also the fact that the sculpt doesn’t smile much and I couldn’t force it due to the deep mouth.)

Ye Rin

Okay, I don’t think I’ve introduced my newest girl here yet, although I got her head like last year already. I’ve had a lot of trouble with her and it’s still not all resolved. I love her character (she’s from mine and Mizya’s RP) and the Souldoll Jina head is pretty accurate for her after a few mods. She could be more smiley but trying to find a certain kind of looking Asian female head that smiles is near impossible. Oasisdoll has a lot of smiley girls but unfortunately none of them suit Ye Rin’s features, so here we are.

She’s currently on Iria’s idiotic body which is not helping me any. Despite all the mods on the body, it’s annoying to handle and the super long model legs are really not doing good things for my human characters -with the fantasy ones I don’t really care. Plus her hands are just… ugh (=stupid-ass finger poses you can do nothing with). They’re fine for Iria but not for Ye Rin. Zeniths also have giant feet so I can’t get any appropriate shoes for her (she likes shoes a lot).
Other than the body issues, I’ve had problems with her face up (fixed parts of it but might need to be completely re-done), wig and eyes. I first had her with a temporary fiber wig and that was just horrible, though I managed to make it decent with some styling. But yeah, it wasn’t right at all. I ordered her a custom one and now my main problem is that it looks nice in person but in photos it just looks like a frizzy black blob. But I can’t exactly give her a lighter wig because her hair is black. The problem with the eyes is pretty much the same and I have to brighten them tons afterwards. I might just solve that problem by getting her lighter brown eyes. They’ll make her more expressive, even though they’re not 100% right for the character. Gotta make compromises, I guess.

I am hoping I’d be able to afford to order her a body some time this year because I have some expensive things on preorder later this year, so I’d need to conjure up some hobby money from somewhere. It also has several months of a wait time and I have no idea if it’ll match her skin tone well, but… all of my hybrids are kind of risks and they’ve worked out. Really, I tend to buy them with the research and mindset of “Well, company Y matches my head and X matches Y, so they ought to be close. The shoulder width is about the same as company Z too, okay, we’ll go with that”.


This is the end result right now. With a lot of editing afterwards to get the eyes to show up as something other than black pits. She has kind of too much eyeliner for her character too, but I’m not yet sure if I wanna re-do the face. Cause like I said before: I don’t like painting at the moment. I’d rather try lighter eyes before re-doing the face up. She should also be more smiley, but I can’t do much more with the sculpt.
