Thank you for your praise and rating! But we can do better here. I'm working on increasing the similarity. This is my weak point. It is advisable to make the doll's facial features even more similar to the original. Still, I'm not trying hard enough

What a fantastic job! The detail on the head of your black doll is impressive. You say you're not an artist, but I see a rich and technically complex piece of work. You have a gift, my friend, although not for low-light photos LOL. Congratulations, your dolls are truly amazing!

Thank you. But here I’m cheating))) In full light, my dolls are not as beautiful as in the twilight.)))

Dang! Some major talent there. Very nice indeed. Do share how the bodies are made.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my thoughts about my impressions of communicating with my homemade dolls. they suit me in everything. and size, and softness, and weight. Only the seams around the boobs are visible. which spoils the appearance somewhat. Well, if you touch up the body along the seam lines, it will turn out more or less tolerable. well, when you lie with such a busty girl in the twilight, and even after treating her with ex-girlfriend’s perfume, she smells like the real thing. Yes, if she also resembles in face and body the woman with whom you created her. then your hypothalamus completely turns off thinking. I want to lie down and hug her like a living woman. In short, great! However, such pleasure is suitable only for those whose psyche is structured accordingly. Who is not confused by the “uncanny valley” effect? for example, my little brother is afraid of all kinds of dolls. My dolls especially scare him with their “live” eyes with Aliexpress and textile “skin”. he jumps with fear when he looks at them))). One day he spent the night in my apartment. I laid out a sofa for him in the room next to the table on which lay the almost finished Galadriel doll. In principle, in daylight you can see that the doll is made of fabric, but in the twilight it can be mistaken for a living woman. especially when the eyes sparkle in the moonlight. my brother couldn't sleep in the room with her. speaks in the moonlight, lies on the table as if alive, and right now turns his head in my direction and pronounces some kind of elven spell. I had to lie down on the sofa. and he lay down on my bed. The next evening he got drunk on beer, became bolder and shouted: where is this queen, I’ll sleep with her today!))) such things...

На счет вопроса о телах куколок.
Regarding the question about the bodies of the dolls. I make them using specially designed paper patterns. Here, for example, is a photo of the process of making the body of an African-American doll. the stage of cutting out parts of the body and legs from fabric according to patterns

In general, judging sensibly, I still have many flaws in the anatomical verisimilitude of my dolls. too massive thighs. and the torso is too short in relation to the length of the legs. This is because I made mistakes when developing the patterns. in short, there is where to put the greatest effort and attention when designing the next dolls

Here is the doll's body before stuffing with holofiber.

Very nice indeed!

I think you could make a bit of money by doing custom requests for people looking for a doll based on a specific person. That is something precious few doll makers offer.

I'm afraid that first of all I'm lazy and irresponsible. secondly, my level of conveying portrait likeness is not high enough to demand money for it)))

Amazing work!!!

Thanks for the praise.
Here is a photo of my current project (very long ongoing). Christy Canyon doll. As always, I try to make it as similar as possible to the goddess detailed original. But when developing the patterns, I made some mistakes. causing permanent, irremovable creases to form at the side seams of her breasts. They ruin the whole view! In the next project "Carol Connors" I will take these points into account and Carol's breasts will be smooth and even.
So how? Does the Christy Canyon doll's face look like Goddess Christy herself? I have been doing it with huge breaks for more than 2 years. If you say that it is similar enough, then I will start gluing this blank doll’s head with knitted material. and then I’ll start painting her face and gluing on eyelashes. Well, if it doesn’t look like it yet, I’ll continue to work. It's up to you, gentlemen))) Just please tell the truth.
