Evee the Ball Jointed Maquette

Meet Evee. She is an initial maquette for a ball jointed doll of my own design. She is the reason why this blog has been inactive for a while and this post will be brief as there is still more that needs to be done. The complicated part is over however.

 

Each limb is individually hand sculpted. Her head was so small I could not find eyes tinny enough so I had to make some for her out of resin. The tail and ears are hand stitched.

Initially I was concerned her little digitigrade legs would pose problems regarding functionality, the ability to stand in particular. In the end she only required a knee joint redesign from the initial drawing. Now she is fully posable and can easily stand unassisted.

 

There is no wire in her tail to assist with balance

 

Next I'll assemble a prototype which will mostly undergo aesthetic change. Any thoughts would be appreciated. -Nuggie
