So... these next few weeks and the past week have been very busy and overly interesting.

I got a touch of something, missed two days of work, puked a lot, then saturday I got rear ended by the cops. I'm also working mandatory overtime at my job until mid december as we try to get everything ready for christmas. Then at home all I'm good for is laying around like a slug and playing Dragon Age. Which cheers me so much. <3 So anyway, that's the reason for lack of updates. I WILL get back to work hopefully mid december. Expect me to disappear again in Jan or Feb of next year when Mass Effect 2 is released. X3

You BJDs are lovely! So well done. I'm making my first one for a college project, and after 6 tries it's still not working :'( Yours are a great example so I shall analyze them to see if I can get some sort of revelation or something > .<
Great gallery :D

Hello Ms. Batchix, I'm a huge fan of your BJD work... as you can probably tell from the history... My apologies, I've been working on my first, and yours are an excellent example of the process... I may have gotten a bit overboard on favouriting your masterpieces.

I was just browsing and carousing on your BJD sale website, when I noticed a failure to bring up the pricing range... Would you be so kind as to give me a rough estimate for only a resin cast male body at approximately 35cm... or 41cm with a head attached?

Just the body, I have finished the head sculpt and I am working on perfecting it before casting. But I haven't the time to bake and perfect each individual piece of the body on my current schedule.

well, thinking of a witty phrase is all well and good, but I think my sheer lack of a heart speaks for its self. 100% Cynical 200% of the time. but wait, there's more, now with 25% more sarcasm, and 50% more satire and Irony!

like a total cost for you to make them? With all materials start to finish or just resin and silicon?

Either or.

I'm really sorry to bother you, but the Japanese translation software is driving me too batty to make heads or tails of, and you're a much more coherent and skilled maker of these master crafts.

it takes me about four packs of paperclay for a 42cm. I think it took me maybe five or six packs of SS to make the 60cm.

Then there's the cost of minor supplies like stir sticks, rubber bands, cups... I'd guess that was $50-100?

Silicon is the expensive part. It takes 2 gallons to do one 42 cm doll. Oomoo is more cost effect since you get two gallons(It's a 1:1 mix ratio, so you get 1 gallon of each) for about $150. I use mold max 30 because the molds are more durable, it's about $115 for one gallon.

Resin is about $70-115 for the gallon of each part(part A and part b, 1:1 mix ratio). I can make about 2 60cm dolls from one kit.

hope that helps!
