Make my own Ball Jointed Dolls

After I entering this hobby, a ball jointed dolls, I really struggling with the urge to keep wanting to buy more dolls

right now I currently waiting another doll that I purchase to come to my house, I really dunnno how my parents will react, becouse when Nalika arrive, and they know the price, they  kinda disappointed with me, for I wasting so much money for something that are not primary necessity..
and I really understand about it, I grow up from thigh budget family, and we are not rich, our economy are better now, but we still use the pricipal not to waste money for sumting that are not really necessary.

and you know how there lotsa doll company out there, with so many beautiful dolls, after you buy your first doll, it seems Impossible NOT to buy another.. its like a curse, most of my acquaintance that also in this hobby have more that 5 dolls, and some even have more than 20.

keep buying dolls are not an option for me, even if I have the money, I cant let this kinda urge keep haunting me in my dreams... while at first I though buying only one doll is enough.. Im so naive... LOL

that why I have this ideas to made my own BJD, and what a luck, I stumble upon this tutorial.
and from that tutorial, I started to made my own BJD

the process are really-really tiring and hard.. also bloody because I always accidentally cut my thumb with ecto knife XD
for you who are wondering why BJD are so expensive. try to make one.. youll know why.

well then enough for the blabering, here is Uclit, Ucing Alit, a tinnies doll that Im currently working on ^^

Dragon Painting, step by step

finally a post that are not related to my BJD XD
its been a while I'm not posting my work.. :P
I have plenty in my sleeve but always forgot to posted.

This one is already finish a week a go but I had a chance to posted it now. ^^a

Its started when my friend Kamikaze say he wanted to tried to commissioning me, and becouse he is a Dragon lover, of course he wanted me to draw his Persona a Blue Dragon of Wind.

its my first time someone commissioning me a Dragon, Im very nervous, but I try my best..
so I hope the result are worth the price :)

first of course I made the sketch manually, because its more comfort to me than doing sketch on computer.

Im  trying to compose the color, choosing the color that will make the Dragon look stand out, and desice the shade and lighting.

Sailor Girl Nalika

to be honest.. I really dont satisfied with the Sailor suit I made earlier for Nalika, probably I like the design, but the way I sew it are all wrong.. its just sad to look at.
so I decide to made a new one. :D

here it is

The Design Concept

an here is the Tomboy version, Nalika feel much comfortable in this suit XD

at this time Im quite okay with the result, :D probably this is the last time Im doing a sailor suit again? I dunno there is lotsa design out there that I could get creative on it.
but I will stop for now, I dun wanna make Nalika feel bored LOL

Thank you verymuch for viewing :)

Seifuku for Nalika

Yesterday on Idul Adha holiday, I decide to make sailor suit for Nalika.
I've been planing to make her a sailor uniform long time ago but haven't had the chance, so when I comeback to my parents house for 3 days,
all I'm doing is sewing  ^^a and the process quite bloody, I keep accidentally stab my fingers with needle.
no pain, no gain.
its probably because Im nervous, I never made anything like sailor uniform before so I try to made the prototype first from recycled material.
then my mum said don't be a cheapskate, the doll are expensive, so dont be cheap for her clothes and using ugly material.=_=a
so even I haven't had a sewing machine I decide to buy material that are more appropriate.
The prototype help me a bit to give me a glimpse what kind of sailor suit I want, I change the prototype  3 times, and I'm kinda frustrate by my skill in sewing.
lucky when I want something, I dont give up that easily
so to avoid things get worst, I also made the design so I know what kind of clothes I want in my mind and not just doing some trial and error.

here is the result, rrr close enough?

I dunno if I satisfied with the result or not, becouse I know there so many error in this clothes.
its okay I guess...
probably when I have a sewing machine I could excrete the clothes better.
but my mum said its good, my sister even ask me to made life size for her *q* haha
so Im kinda proud about this achievement.
I just hope next time I could sew much better and tidier Amen!

thanks for viewing guys ^^
