I can't speak for most people, but it nornally takes some time depending oh how many details you asked for and how busy is the person, but if you're not bugging the artist week, it's usually not a problem to ask him how things are going, unless he got some autism or is a perfectionist, he most likely is doing something else on the side or is just working on your piece. Remember that these things take time.

I'm working on a project using 1/12 scale figures and need very basic clothing (plain t-shirt, pants) but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.
It seems most clothes are designed for 1/6 scale.
I'm not skilled in sewing, but that may be the route I need to take.

Are there any recommended resources I could use to buy doll clothes?

1/12 scale clothing would be labelled things like OB11 (obitsu 11cm) and Picconeemo clothing, picconeemo (~14cm) is closer to human proportions and OB11 is more chibi. Azone offers a lot of basic clothing options for picconeemo, you can pick some up on amiami since they usually have a random assortment of things in stock. For OB11 you can pick up some stuff at Parabox. I'd check the measurements of the firgures you're using and see what's closest.

Ugh, I love these and have been lucky enough to see them in person a few times, but the gap between the top torso and the middle area kills me. It's why I can't do DDs either. It's something I was able to look past when I first got into the hobby in 2006 but in the past few years, I've learned about so many other anime-style vinyl doll brands that don't have that issue and it bugs me to no end. They're really beautiful other than that (even more than these photos) which is tragic.

I get it anon, I've been in that position. It was a long time before I could participate, and I thought I never would be able to in all honesty. Suffice to say, things do change, and I'm hopeful they will for you, too. If you want somewhere to start, secondhand Azone Pure Neemo can go for much lower prices on Ebay/AmiAmi/Mercari/Mandarake, if you want somewhere reasonable to start? Parabox also sells small dolls which are much more affordable in comparison to a Dollfie Dream -- and both Pure Neemos and 1/6 Parabox dolls can wear most anything a Blythe can (aside from headwear, because Blythes have massive heads,) which means finding clothing options isn't too tricky. But if not, it's okay to just look, too -- that's what many here do. There's no wrong way to enjoy dolls if you're enjoying dolls.

I want a friend for my doll. And I could do with some advice.
Rather than buy another pre-made one I want to build my own. But I also want her to be cohesive with this Obitsu one, like they "belong" together. The body and the hair I can kind of figure out on my own. I pondered going for a 22 or 26cm body but I suspect that 2cm difference at this scale is going to feel more massive than just a slight height difference (or I could buy several bodies and try, since they're inexpensive).
And I hope I'm not underestimating how hard it will be to find and/or style a wig for whatever head I end up getting.

Anyway, what I care most about is the face. I tried looking through Parabox but I'm not really convinced by the look and shape (maybe because they use different heads?) save for two or three specific iterations of the Petit Hime line.
I tried looking through YAJ out of curiosity back before they blocked all European IPs but I barely got any results when searching for what Obitsu calls this head model, M-01. What should I actually be searching for to get faces that have a similar size and proportions?
Other sites I should look for customs or other shops like Parabox?

Hey, congrats! For dolls, Dollybird and Dolly Dolly are two options. There are also the Hanon sewing books, but I think they mostly focus on Blythe.

Scuffed photo because I don't have a good wig, eyes, or outfit right now, but this is an Imomodoll Ruby on their 'chubby' body, (I think -- this was a gift from a very kind friend) in tan, with an artist choice faceup from Jane's Doll Land. She's very cute! A note: Imomodoll heads have eye wells, so getting the correct eye size is a bit more strict than with other dolls, in my limited experience today.

A note on eyewells in vinyl dolls: I like them because I hate putty for no good reason but if you want more freedom with eye size you can just cut them off with a sharp craft knife, if you're careful not to go too close to the front you can remove the restrictive material and not damage the faceup.

I don't think it'd hurt her, especially if it was applied on the outside, but just be ready for her to keep smelling like that after you take the clothes off because vinyl absorbs scents. A common thing I've seen is putting a drop on a cotton ball and putting that in the hollow of the torso or something so it's not uncommon though

I was originally going to get a Tinyfox as my starter bjd but most of the dolls that I like are out of stock and won't be back for another 3-6 months. Do you guys think it's worth preordering waiting or should I save up during that time period and get a DD? I've wanted to get into bjds for a long time and have had other dolls in the past; it's a case of if I go cheaper and lower quality now or if I jump straight into a higher quality, more expensive doll right off the bat.

>> No.44145454

>>44145400
I would say that regardless of waiting period (sub 6+ months anyway) you should just get the one you really want the most. Most dolls are going to be a long wait either way, it's best to just find one you really love since you'll presumably be keeping her for much longer than the wait anyway

i would just save for a DD if you like them better. you might not even want so many dolls in the long run, so like >>44145454 said, just go for one you really love. it sounds like buying something cheaper now will only prolong the wait for what you know you really want.

Tinyfoxs are 1/6 scale? If you eventually want to upgrade, why not just start with the right scale, 1/4 or 1/3? I'm not sure it makes sense to mix if it's your first time.

At least for me, the biggest draw of this hobby is all my dolls in the same scale can share clothing and/or even body parts.

A day early, but time for another quick pic spam.
Summer activities was my theme this time starting with camping.

Last one
Out of curiosity, I built the beach wall and made the surf board myself, but didn't document any of the process. Would anybody be interested in how I make these things? I can document the next thing I build.

very good match of backdrop & props, really gives the photo depth
>>44190587
over-exposed LDR? highlights are all greyed-out
>>44190609
and the lighting is excellent here
>>44190628
have you considered getting an Eye Mover (or equivalent)?
having her look into the camera here would really make the pose pop
sorry forgot her name
>>44190647
sure, it's dol-related OC after all

Love the make up and ear rings
have you considered one of those fabric suits since you got this doll for photos?

>> No.44191274

>>44191031
Yeah, the exposure on that one was way off, and I had already reposed her before checking my work. It was the best of the lot for that pose so I just tried to make it work.
Lydia (short hair) has dream fitters installed, but I've considered eye movers too. The dream fitters are really finicky and have a tendency to shift unexpectedly. I also shift around a lot while shooting, so I try to get the eyes right, but sometimes it's just slightly off.

Thank you, I made the earrings myself. If you're asking about stain protection suits, I have several in different cuts and lengths. I didn't use one for this photo because I wanted to keep the aesthetics as close to bare skin at the beach as possible. The swimsuit is white on the inside and uses white thread, so there's very little stain risk.

I thought the point of the suits was to cover joints in photos?
I'm no scholar on this

They're primarily for stain protection in my experience. But if you want to cover the joints it can be used for that too. I like the joints exposed personally.

Ghost story time? I like the atmosphere in this one.
>>44190647
The pose is great. Kinda sad not to see the sea though, but that's just me.
