This is part I of a project.
Part II is here.
Part III is here.
Artist's foreword: Yes, I am constantly modding something. Yes, it makes me happy, so I'll probably keep doing it. Yes I have several other projects on. Yes, each of them will get done in due time, don't worry.
I glanced at a very feminine pic of someone's Fairyland Minifee Muscle bodied boy, (I don't recall which) and for a moment I saw something else. The idea of what I saw stuck with me. I often get the best ideas for art from what I think I see for a moment, not what I am actually looking at. I saw the idea for a Minifee girl with muscles, but still very much a girl. Her own different kind of beautiful. That vision captivated me, and I had to create this doll. She'll fit very nicely into a fantasy story I've been pondering in which the main cast is mostly girls.
So far she's just a male body I bought and have been modding. Eventually I'll get her a head and a sleeping head; I've already chosen which sculpt. Here's where we started, for a reference. A Minifee A-Line Muscle boy in NS. Ignore the horse, please.
First, the obvious- Removing the male genitals and replacing them. I haven't finished by giving her labia yet, but here's how far this part's gotten. I also removed all the seams on this hip piece.
I've been removing seams as I go. I've found I like dolls without visible seams when I can get them that way. For any of my own dolls I mod, I've started just doing seam sanding as a matter of course, while I have them in pieces anyway.
This is a nice soft shape for a slim and athletic girl, but the gal I am making here has even less body fat, so I'll need more definition than this. Still, I will remember this shape when I do other sculpting work.
All that sanding changed the resin tone of some places a little, so I will have to blush and sand to get it all to match again. Not a problem.
I've scraped and sanded down the "adam's apple" of the throat, which does not protrude on a woman as it does on a man.
I sanded off the male nipples so they'd quit distracting my eye as I try to position the female breasts over the pectoral muscle.
Seams also got sanded again, wherever I found them.
The Apoxie here is tinted so I can cover it easier- blueish grey Apoxie is harder to paint over and blend into the NS than peach-brown. The breasts of a woman with this much muscle definition and this low of body-fat are usually quite small, and her muscle tone would give them a nice perky shape, perhaps. Breast tissue in humans sits right on top of Pectoral muscle but does not necessarily cover it entirely, especially if the pecs are large and the breasts are smaller.
Part II is here.
Part III is here.
Really cool project..... what you're going for here is definitely a unique shape in bjds. Wish I would have thought of tinting the Apoxie peachy-brown like that when I used it to partially close/change the shape of the eyeholes on one of my dolls! I'll keep that in mind for next time.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I tinted it a little too darkly, I think, but I am bad at painting over Apoxie mods anyway so I couldn't really make things much worse. Ideally I'd have tinted it to just a light peach but even the "Super White" Apoxie is a pale grey color. I wish Aves did make some that was totally white and so more easily tinted. I'm sure they would if they could, but every medium has limits.
