It was such a looooooong, painful journey to bring these two to life through ball-jointed dolls. And expensive as hell.
This was pure self-indulgence. But I needed this and I always dreamed of having my OTP / OCs as dolls.
Examples of my troubles include:
Buying several pairs of eyes for each to try out which ones look most like my characters, getting a person to paint her face to resin-match her body, getting her head custom-made by three different people in three different steps (e.g. 3D model to 3D print to faceup painting), putting on their anti-stain clothing, dying his wig (I failed twice with two other wigs before I got the color right) because I couldn’t find a wig that color for a good price anywhere… And then having a mini panic moment when I was trying to put his hands on all by myself while using my foot and a clean cloth to hold him in place… putting on his pants…. the list goes on.
I can’t believe I made it to the end with these two. lol
I still need to dress her in black and replace her wig with a black one (she came with a dark brown wig).
I think the dolls represent their late teens / early 20s how they would look.
I have no words. I have no words. I’m just happy.
