Batchix Dolls

Does anyone have any resources for someone who wants to learn how to cast resin heads for soft bodied dolls, as well as know anything about the soft body doll maker community in general? Especially if the aesthetic leans toward goth and or creepy.

@batchixdolls of course I know you know about casting dolls, but I can't remember if you learned from resources or from trial and error...

I have been asked these questions on someone else's behalf, so am looking for very general information (about doll stuff I don't know at all, or else I would have loaded the asker with information already 😅)

Thanks!

mostly trial and error but i have an old faq.

The thing I hate most about transhumanism discourse are the appeals to "humanity". Like, "are you less human if you have cybernetics?" and "does it affect your humanity if you change your genes?"

And I just.. Look man, I'm trans, disabled, and autistic. Half the world already barely considers me human, on a good day.

So I don't think it makes sense to get mad at me for wanting fangs and a gender you can pick up on a Geiger counter.

You're yelling about this being a slippery slope, and meanwhile you pushed me down it. You can't justify annoyance at me deciding to go "weeee" all the way down.

what is the lamest thing that ever genuinely scared you like either as a kid or adult. i got scared of those halloween cartoon scooby doo ass eye stickers ppl put on mirrors when i was 9 and screamed so hard i fainted

you are an R L Stein protagonist my friend

My take on the beta cast resin rose exclusive ‘Player One’ head. She’s a great sculpt, and even with this beta cast that had some minor issues she was a joy to work with. She’s sculpted by @batchix exclusively for @resinrosebjdexpo and will be avalible for pre orders soon. She’s seen here in white on a cooler dollshe classic 26f body. Facup is modled after a cymbidium orchid.

I took about 10 minutes today to style the doll @batchix gave me, and grab some quick photos so I could experiment with lighting. The pants/overalls are a Scrap PDX, the dark wig is a @funnylori freebie, and the sweater was a cheap find on Amazon. I dunno why, but this doll keeps giving me such 80’s chunky style vibes. SO. If I can take decent portraits of a doll, how ‘bout you come sit for me? Let me try to figure out lighting? Take some portraits I can use to make art? To some degree I can drag lighting and stuff with me. Sorta depends on if a car is available.

I LOVE THIS. She's a blackberry little parfait. <3
