Nie Huaisang is one of my favourite characters in MDZS, and since I already made tassels of WWX and LWJ, this was the logical next step.

The aesthetics are mostly borrowed from the untamed, since the colour harmony there in beautiful. Huaisang's bird and fan are custom beads, sculpted and painted by me. The tassel itself is also dyed black at the tip, to represent an ink brush.

I think the hardest thing with this was painting the landscape on the fan at this scale (twice). It's tiny!

I did some "plastic surgery" to slim down the chin and the lower lip in addition to the face-up! And the face-up itself isn't yet finished, and the hair needs a touch-up. Still, I think it already looks great.

And which is your favourite one?

I have had a lot of fun making these! Some are a lot better than others, some are pretty vague whereas others have some specific details of the couple, and custom beads made by me. Can you spot all the "easter eggs" in these?

The Lans really can't help themselves.

All the dolls are customised by me and the clothes and accessories are handmade. The likeness is limited by my skills, though I think I've done a relatively good job. They are all based on their Untamed versions, since those fit the best with realistic face molds (the dolls from left to right; BTS V, modified BTS Jungkook, BTS Jungkook, BTS RM). Though I have considered making each of them their donghua outfit as an alternative.

How did I do?

Which is your favourite?

I love how customization can completely transform dolls

Yeah...

Someone told me to do this after seeing my earlier post with banana-Jiggy, so here we are.

The hair needs styling, of course, but the face! I didn't really like the original sculpt, but the dimple convinced me, and I think it turned out pretty neatly. I might still tweak it a bit, but for now, it is great.

Or, well, I might still tweak it a bit, and he is in desperate need of hair, but I love how huge the difference is already. I don't really like the original sculpt, but the dimple convinced me to pick him for this project.

I am honestly in love with how it looks! I can't believe I made it from start to finish! I absolutely adore how it and the tassel turned out, it's just-

As for the sound it makes, let's not talk about that...

Mostly everything is handmade. The dizi itself is carved out from real bamboo, then painted. I sculpted the lotus bead from air dry clay, carved & painted the bead below it from a plain white bead. I also made the red tassel myself, which was a really interesting process, but I loved it!
