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

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
