Thanks Dollenvy! As for how long it took to shoot those pictures, I looked back at my picture files from that day and I took the first picture from that set at 1:25 pm and I posted the final pictures on TDF at 3:55 pm, so 2.5 hours. I did 4 different poses that day but only 2 produced pictures good enough to share, 33 total pictures were taken during that session. But I am just spending time on a Sunday afternoon doing something I enjoy so it isn't work, it's enjoyable time spent with my dolls.dollenvy wrote: Dude, she is super cute. And you are a very talented photographer. How long would you say it took to shoot one of those pics?
But if you want to really add up everything, it can take 10+ hours to do the first photo set with a new doll. And that doesn't include the time that you wait for her to dry after her bath, or the time to allow her eyelash glue to fully cure so you can put her eyes back in , or washing her clothes.
Great to meet you Dollarhyde! Sasha and I appreciate the kind words.Dollarhyde wrote:That is so cool Metricnut... excellent job with the photo work with Sasha...
The SM website has the #57 head on the 146 body. (see the link below) My Sasha has a different wig, and I also stripped off her factory makeup and re applied the makeup to my liking including new eyelashes. Another thing that most do not consider is the amount of polyester packing behind the eyes. I usually take the packing out and reduce the amount by around 1/3. This helps to reduce the "bug eye" surprised look that can happen when too much packing is behind the eyes. So my doll faces will look different than the factory pictures. That being said, The wig is the single biggest factor in giving a doll head a dramatically different look. Sometimes you need to look past the makeup and hair and focus on the lips, nose, jaw line, distance between the eyes, the brow bone shape and how deep the eyes are inset relative to the brow bone.dollenvy wrote:btw Metricnut...I luv this dolls face. I tried finding #57 on SM-Dolls website but none of the heads including the one on SM 146cm body look like yours. Specifically where can I find that head?
