Core character: doll form
I thought I'd share some snippets of my precious character now that he's finally complete. I stole the glasses from architect Barbie, lol.
His face is from Suga Mattel BTS doll. I feel like it's the closest mold to what I envisioned him to look like, since the character itself is Asian American. The body is from AliExpress. Yuge doll body I think. It's much taller than the original body and look proportionate to the head and I'm loving it so far. BUT it have nipples that looks kinda indecent with his fitted shirt. I had to file some of it away and use a black fabric acting as a makeshift bra 😭
I hand sewed both his raglan shirt and pants. And also a calf strap to hold his legs in place in the wheelchair, made from the same cotton shirt material and I like the looks of it.
The last image of a sketch I had of him for two years at this point. He rarely get drawn but he's the first of many of my character to have a doll form.
Below is a short character description if anyone cares, I think it doesn't hurt to give a little bit of context:
[Ayusei Miyagi]
Aesthetics/Appearance: black hair, tapered on the back with curtain bangs. Opting for casual, basic clothing that always compliment his lean frame. Say, henley, corduroy, raglan
Personality: raised with tough love but soft hearted at the end.
Backstory/Context: Asian-american (Japanese) Buddhist. As of currently, 25 years old with 4 years into a life with spinal cord injury. T7 complete paraplegic. Deeply into music and piano. Freelance writing work. Haven't had the nerve to play again after his injury. Because he had the accident on the way to the venue of his big break in the industry.
