My Sebby head from Minimee had arrived! Almost immediately, I worked on the original sculpt for consecutive 2 late nights *yawn~* . At one look, it didn't differ much from the original except the lips and probably the eye brow bone.
The followings are what I have done. *yawn~*
Lips: Reduced the curvy and increased the thickness of the lower lips. Filed the sides of lower lips. I also extended Sebby's left lip line (it seems shorter than the other sides). A pointed sculpting knife comes in handy for the lips lines and such.
Eyes: Sanded off the double eye lids lines (as I decide to paint them instead). I also filed a lot of resins from the inside as I found the eye lids are too thick and the eyes couldn't project probably. Scrapped some resins off from Sebby's lower right eye
Eye brow Bone: Filed them higher as I prefer Sebby's slanted eyebrows.
Nose: Filed Sebby's bottom right nose slightly to balance the left's. Used a sculpting knife to re-define the nose from the area above the lips.
Others: Repeatedly light filing at the chin to create a better 3D look. Lightly filed sides faces and areas near to Sebby's left eyes (Cos I felt the degree of dent at both areas were not the same).
Last but not least, sand the whole face with 600m sandpaper.
*The modding has not finished as I am still unsatisfied with the eyes. Will continue to work on it but first thing first I need to catch some sleep...* Zzzz
*Laughs* Now to come to think about it, customising BJDs involves $$ and Time. But it brings satisfaction for a anime lover cum figurine collector like me.
Thank you! This is rather heavily modified (in my opinion) thought it doesn't look like a big difference. Yes, they can be very beautiful depends on individuals. But quite a lot of people find these dolls scary.
D: I'm still wondering how sharp your eyes are and how steady your hand must be! I would have lost my patience even when I've got the knife to my hand xD
Thank you!! But I am not usually this brave. Guess I must have been really disappointed with the original sculpt that I just did it without any hold back.
You are very skilled with modding! (*#*)
Can't wait to see him all done ^^
