Simon - BJD dollSimon is a ball-jointed doll, OOAK head by me on Dream Realm 70+ male body by Chinese company Dream Realm. Progress pics of the head: [link] It was made after Sephiroth character (belongs to Square Enix). A link to Dream Realm body: [link] (it costs 360 USD actually and can be purchased separately). Makeup and clothes are made by me. CommentsI'm hoping to make a Bofur BJD in the future and am wonder just how to applied the facial hair on simon in the ukrainian photos. It looks so good!
Nice question)) One generous person gave me that advice: if you want to keep the makeup safe use "kneaded eraser" (used for pastels removal when doing faceups, looks like that: [link])
So I applied a bit of that eraser to the back of moustache, and voila! The moustache itself is made similar to this wig: [link], the hair is glued to the tulle. If you want to apply the facial hair permanently use PVA white glue, it holds much stronger but can be peeled off together with makeup if pulled hard. oh wow! I never thought of using a kneaded eraser in that way. Thank you very much for the information, I hope to be able to use the advice very soon
Me too but Simon's face was saved by that advice! Repainting him is a pure tragedy as his head requires a layer of primer, a layer of basic paint and only after that the makeup.
Hope it would work for your project too! |
