Dinamo in real life

More pictures under the cut!



Erhem.

Aaaaaaaaaaaah.

I have battled with Dinamo's commission. I have fought. It was really painful for everyone involved.

I was going to make a plush Dinamo at first. I was excited for that, never done a human faced plush before. Could be interesting.
It was TERRIBLE. Never had anything in my life given me more nightmares. I've decided to put it on fire at some point.
But yes, I did still owe Dinamo a commission. And it was obvious I could not do a human faced plush. So instead, I decided I was going to make her a puppet. Had all that I needed, so I could just start.

I'm finally done!

She stands very well. Not too heavy a doll. I had fun making her, trying out some new things. Like, indeed, hair.

And eyelashes. Actual eyelashes! I needed some supplies like a tiny paintbrush, and the same store sold doll eyelashes. Couldn't say no. The hair is also something new, and I am honestly not a 100% satisfied with how I did that. But it was a first try, I hope Dinamo's player doesn't mind me experimenting a bit XD


I've never been too happy with the big fat hooves I've made under previous dolls. So I made the whole leg one sleek thing. It was fun, difficult, but I'm very happy with how that turned out.


She's easy to pose. Electrical wire for a skeleton. It's what we've used on school for stop-motion puppets, great stuff.


Just one last picture, hehe. Oh yes horrible, but I forgot her earrings. I was sad because I was looking forward to doing those, but it should've been done at the clay stage. I did bend a piece of wire into her pictogram, to atleast hang from her ear Smiling I bet it'd go for a necklace too..

I'll likely try to make some pics of her with another one of my puppets. Maybe later. When there's actual sun outside pft.

Oh wow! This is beautiful!

Oh wow! This is beautiful! You are a wonderful sculptor, Misako.

Oh my god... that is so

Oh my god... that is so freaking awesome. I am so tempted to commission you for one of these, but I'm not allowed to commission anyone. Lame parents don't trust money being flown around on the internet. 8D

Uuuu great job, Dinamo is going to love this.

That is completely amazing! You are quite good at these puppets.
By the way, how thick is the electrical wire you're using? I know a friend whose been trying to make a puppet like this.

Female: Aw thank you! I love

Female:
Aw thank you! I love to sculpt, faces are really hard though.

Moon_Blaggy:
Hahah thanks! You flirting with her? ;D

Kitty08:
Aw just keep trying! It’s definitely not easy, but I’m sure you can do it ^^

Starling:
Well Dinamo’s parents didn’t seem too happy at first either, but we convinced them, hehe..
Thanks though, I’m glad you like it ♥

Tuoho:

ROFL No I wish I did! Dinamo is my fourth doll, and even she is still a big experiment for me. But it doesn’t make them any less fun to do.
Thank you ^^

Echosong:
Thanks! Still got a lot to learn though!
I am using 1.5mm wire, it’s isolated so it has a rubber coating around it. Lots of different things to try though, and it’s always wise to turn it around itself atleast once.


I did make a lot of pictures of the progress, so I could potentionally make a tutorial? Not sure if anyone else would like to try making one themselves?

My favorite parts are her

My favorite parts are her eyelashes and her feet, those hooves are wonderful, so deer like, I do love them, the different colors of fur work great too. I know this was a long road making this doll, but you stuck it through and kept working on it. She looks great. I love how sleek she turned out.

Kaoori:
You have? Aww thank you XD That means a lot ♥. Oh who knows! For a little Kaoori then huh? That would be cute..

Jalek
Aw thanks! I feel accomplished now XD

Sight:
The eyelashes make me so happy too. Such a small part but they add a lot! The different patches of fur turned out surprisingly easy with my new method of pattern gathering, rofl. But thank you<33

Lend me at least a day! *dog

I have used Fimo in this doll and past dolls for the hard parts. But right now I'm working with Sculpey on the next doll, and I have to say it's great.
