I found Ball jointed dolls on this site and thought they were amazing, and then I started researching where to buy and they're all so expensive...so then I turned to making....and it all seemed very overwhelming and intimidating, until i found your wonderful tutorial! Its so in depth! It breaks the whole process down into bite sized bits that make me think I can actually do this! Thank you so much!
Do you have photos of your dolls in your gallery? I looked but couldn't find any....then again. I didn't look very well because the dog started chasing flies and jumped over me.
I have only ONE picture of Dogwood's face. Dogwood is one of the 'savages' in my 'creatures' folder. I managed to take photos of him during his sculpt phase because I wanted to show off his fully posable ears. It used to be on DA, but isn't now.
Although, before I sell any dolls, I will definitely be making a few examples so people know what it is exactly that they are purchasing.
Wow, just stumbled across your tutorial and I must agree with everyone else. This is by far the best and most understandable tutorial on how to make ball jointed dolls yet! I've stumbled across a few others that have wayyy too many steps that aren't even thoroughly explained! I'm excited for the arrival of part 5 to this tutorial. Thank you so much! When I get across to starting my doll, I'll show you the finished result if you're interested. It'd be a first long-term project for me. n.n
I will be opening my own shop, soon, where I will be making custom dolls for a far less extortive prices other makers sell them for.

I can't wait to see the examples!
