Error-Chan Posted April 19, 2014 So thinking about my Oc el and started to ponder about DD's that did not follow the "cutie" look. I have not seen many my self do wondered if any one has any images. now want I mean by non "cutie" is heads that maybe and sad/angry looking or don't follow the pink blush or lips. if that makes sense XD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aquilla429 Posted April 19, 2014 Cuteness is all in the eye of the beholder and I find grumpy/angry anime girls cute in their own way, but I assume you are talking about the sugar and sweet, smiles and starry eyed types. I personally think my Mai isn't your standard cutesy girl, she is supposed to be grumpy and a bit bad mannered. I think it's totally adorable! But I recognise that it isn't a typical vision of cuteness. P3051035-2 by aquilla429, on Flickr I also think the way I have styled my Lucy makes her look a lot more serious and brooding than most peoples. I've seen some Lucy's that make me coo and go aww, but in my eyes, mine isn't like that. Lilith Portrait by aquilla429, on Flickr Outside of my own dolls, you always get a lot of interesting expressions from the Japanese artists. It's the main reason I'm addicted to looking at heads on yahoo japan. I don't have any old heads saved, but heres some current, non cutesy heads: Angry, shouting: http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f139203117 Grumpy, sourpuss: http://page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h187640587 Not sure what to call this one, but it's not cutesy that's for sure! http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b156082544 Totechi has done a couple of girls who aren't your typical vision of cuteness http://vchipsdoll.sblo.jp/article/81935420.html and http://vchipsdoll.sblo.jp/article/90992465.html You also get that person on yj! who does the dark/guro mods which are well outside of cute town. Momoman has done some grouchy 01 mods in the past but I can't find any pictures of them right now which is a shame.

pharaviel Posted April 20, 2014 First things that come to mind to me are: Alice's mold can look sad or worried viewtopic.php?f=42&t=7167 many 01 head are modded, and they can look angry: just look at Sprout on the first page viewtopic.php?f=42&t=3305 02 head usually seems sad or angered viewtopic.php?f=42&t=3399&start=10 That's all I have in mind right now, but I'm sure that every doll with the right face-up can result not sweet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Poofiemus Posted April 20, 2014 Do you mean something like this? http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTA2NlgxNjAw/z/7-AAAMXQyY1TT1oG/$_57.JPG Wow, I'm really liking this one! Which head is that? Eyes look kind of like the 07 but the face as a whole seems to short to be that one. In this household, sanity is considered a tresspasser. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aquilla429 Posted April 22, 2014 It is indeed a ddh-07 head. The google translation states: ★ The product details ★ [head] I we have processed sharpen hand router, paper, sponge file, with chisel, etc. This is a standard way of reshaping the heads; it basically means they have removed and sanded vinyl to create a different shape for the head. In this case the eyes have definitely been reshaped, of that I am certain but I am not familiar enough with the intricacies of the ddh-07 head to know at a glance if the cheeks, chin or jawline have been reshaped. I’m at work so I can’t directly compare and I’ve never seen an 07 in person either. If you wanted to do a mod like this, you would either use a dremmel or similar electronic hand tool if you have the skill and precision to use one, or you would use manual tools. When I modded my two DDH-01 heads and my DDH-06 head, I used a combination of craft knife to cut away the majority of the vinyl into the rough desired shape, then I used small shaped hand files to precision finalise the shape, then I used multiple varying grits of sandpaper to buff the head back to a smooth finish. I don’t work very well with electric tools so I feel more in control with manual hand tools, but it’s all personal preference. It’s not necessarily difficult to mod heads like this, but it is time consuming, it’s not something you want to rush, especially when you are still new to it. The hardest part for me is getting things more or less symmetrical and taking the time to buff out the abrasion marks from the sandpaper.

I have a electric thing with a name that I cant thing of at this second XD I have opened and played with two Obitsu heads so I have a idea on how it works. I think mainly its the confidence. I wont be able to afford two heads encase I go wrong so right now I am asking some fiends if they can or know someone that has worked on vinyl. but that mod is lovely so glad I have seen it its just upped the want to get the 07 for him now.
