i keep making up plans as i go

The bad thing with having crafty friends is that you get more crafty because of them and it's a beautiful mess with too much planning and not really enough action, lol. So I have... many ideas for custom nendoroids and hybrids. One of them is an old character I made back in... high school? A catboy named Ranga. I split a nendoroid with a friend, and they'll be repainting the hair and hopefully one of the faces. Then it'll be my job to get an Obitsu body and make his outfit. (Of course I paired him with a friend's cat boy (who was drawn ages  ago), so I hope that I can make the both of them!)  Another idea is Neku Sakuraba from The World Ends With You . A glance at a TWEWY post and a short chat with a friend led me to a big need  to plan out a custom nendoroid for him.   I still have to figure out face plates for him, so he's very much in the planning phase. And then with my pre-orders of the casual dress Yuri on Ice nendoroids I would like to do somet

making nendoroid & obitsu connect

The Obitsuroid tutorials I find tend to include some sort of subtractive modifications, or items that aren't readily available to me (like the Revoltech joints). So here's a list of Obitsuroid examples that simulate the Nendoroid neck/head connector using items like foam, plastic, and cardboard: EVA foam - @reloaded_re (Twitter) EVA foam connector - sadlll (blog.naver) Paper & EVA foam - fnsdpa (blog.naver) (!Caution: The paper tag wears easily, so they switched to EVA foam) Plastic & thick cardboard - polarondol (tistory)

guess who made a cu-poche size guide

I can feel myself getting in too deep, but I want to be organized about it. (I also blame a buddy of mine, who's going full steam ahead in nendoroid collecting and getting a bunch of re-ments and house/room kits.) So I made a list of accessories (clothes, items, etc.) that work with Cu-Poche, here . It's in a similar format as the Nendoroid one in the English Facebook group -- listing what's exactly to scale, off scale, and then additional bits. My main contribution to the list is the Monster High & Nendoroid mention! Here are some pictures of the Cu-poche bodies with MH items, and Gourai wearing Nendoroid bunny ears: I hope this list is helpful! 

this was an 8am project but i thought tossing together a tutorial now would be okay

I posted    some pictures on Instagram of my doll/figure project of the day: a cu-poche & nendoroid hybrid. (I don't see a lot of people use the term 'cuporoid' / 「キューポろいど」 (also! 「キュポろいど」  or 「きゅぽろいど」), unlike 'obitsuroid' /「オビツろいど」 , but it does yield results!) The mod itself is pretty easy to do, here are the tutorials I used as reference: rikunofotogalarie | キューポッシュえくすとら半袖体操服ボディxねんどろいどヘッド Hobby Search Blog | 着せかえシリーズ第1弾「キューポッシュえくすとら スクール水着ボディ」で遊ぼう! panda180 | How to make Cu-Poche - Nendoroid joint When it came to separating the joints, I used an X-Acto Knife to initially get a space between them, then either used a small flat head screwdriver or my fingers to gently pull them apart. Once I had them separated, I put them with their opposites. (The nendoroid joint (on the left) is from Nishinoya Yuu, while the cu-poche joint (on the right) is from Gourai.) I'm assuming one of the neck joints has been updated since the tutorials have bee

I have that feeling of buyers' regret where you want to make the most of what you purchased (while also being bummed out that your purchase ruined your chance of getting something else, but what can you do ?) So I spent my yesterday figuring out this figma / nendoroid + picco neemo hybrid business. I brought out my Black Gold Saw figma (who matches the Picco body better than Sonico), my custom (of sorts) nendoroid, and of course the Picco Neemo S body and outfit. Going off of Hobby Search's blog post , I knew that figma heads would need no modification to be on the Picco body, while nendoroid heads were better suited for the Picco Neemo D body (but I wanted to see this combo anyway). But I didn't take figma face shapes into account...  Her head is pretty slim? and looks smaller on the body. I did put my Killua figma head on the body (no pictures) and while his head is wider and looks a bit better, there's an awkward gap around the base of the head/neck a

where's a craft demon to make a pact with when you need one

I've been sewing outfits for the past two days, and I'm so over it, pfft. I made clothes for Dez (B&G Doll Eli-Imp) and Rumore (Soom Bygg). They both have hooves, so my main priority was to make clothes that could fit or go around them. This is the first time I've changed Dez out of his original outfit. I've always had an idea of what I wanted him to wear, but never got anything for it. There are... A LOT of issues with the clothes, lmao. But that's what I get for doing things quick and dirty. 😅 . . #dollstagram #bjd #balljointeddoll #boyandgirldoll #bandgdoll #bgeliimp A post shared by Enski (@token.enski) on Jul 31, 2017 at 7:00pm PDT With Dez's outfit, I tried to take the easy way out with the top, but ended up sewing the sleeves closed on the top instead of the bottom. I did only have to hem the collar and sew the sleeves together, though, so I still call it a win, haha. And the pants ended up a bit too snug on one leg (this is what I g

I was looking at Culur Theory's recent An face-up and fell in love? lol, She looks ready to sass someone to the moon and back, and I'm here for it. It made me look at Ery again, because I had made super vague plans to use it for one of my characters. But as I was looking, I remembered a design I bought ages ago and started wondering if Ery would be a good fit for him. And then I spent an evening doodling. |D;; Overall I think Ery would work for him? And then  there's Groov's outfit, but that's for future me with Ery to figure out.

Hybrids & Mods

I'm very in love with obitsuroids (Obitsu + Nendoroid hybrids) and I've been tossing around and settling on ideas for... two months, now? But now I can say that I am much closer to getting an obitsuroid of my own! Testing out a possible obitsuroid idea... . . #nendoroid #bnha #midoriyaizuku A post shared by Enski (@token.enski) on Jun 4, 2017 at 4:19pm PDT The face is Midoriya Izuku from 'My Hero Academia' and the hair I'm planning to use is from Nishinoya Yuu (Haikyuu!!). Plus the face mask I took from an Osomatsu-san nendo and the nendoroid more rabbit ears, the character is pretty set. The only thing I'm missing is a body (and clothes), but hopefully I can get those sooner than later! (I'm also thinking of a name for them? It would be sort of weird to call them Deku — it's his face but it's not really him — so maybe an idea will come to me.) And today, I finished modding some Obitsu hands to fit on Marco. He has a PureNeemo XS
