I'm so excited! I posted a little while ago about needing help getting started in customizing a 1/6 little guy and man, that feels like a lifetime since. Because he's FINALLY DONE!!

Thank you everyone who helped me out. I'm so happy with how he turned out!!! I had a problem and a half finding a head that suited him. I even panic bought a third head thinking this one looked too small, but once it had a face up and some hair it was perfect. 

He's a Jiaou doll 1/6 slim male body. All the clothes were drafted and sewn by myself. And yes, his jeans do have working pockets! (I couldn't have him not have pockets!) (If there's any interest, I can try and make a tutorial on patterning clothes for dolls)

I used chalk pastels to blush the body as well as do the face up. The only thing I would change is his eyes are a bit too dark, but that's okay. I also totally could have worked some LEDs in there to make his cheek markings glow, but I didn't think that far ahead! D'oh! 

Anyways without further ado, say hello to my very first one sixth doll, Ezreal!

I used acrylic yarn wefts for the hair. I had planned to poke holes and root the hair, but at that point the head was on the neck bearing and I didn't feel like taking it off so I actually just glued the wefts onto his head directly... Not sure if that will bite me in the butt later! At least I have a plan B.

Working pockets!! (I am way too proud of that lol. We women never get enough pockets, I live vicariously through my dolls) Maybe I should make him a little phone or wallet to put in there? Hmm...

Showing off some of the blushing I did with a bit of a sexy pose! :O Ezreal... Put your shirt back on!

... Or, a onesie! These jammies are from a doll repaint of the same character I did a while ago. I had no idea they would fit but lo! He kinda looks like a kid posing for his mom before going to school on pajama day XD It's the "can I go now" look for me.

...

Thanks. So. Much. To everyone who helped in my help post. Ezreal never would have come to life without you guys I love you I felt like giving up so many times, but now I'm really happy with how he turned out. I'm really happy I got to share with you guys Smile

He might be your first full figure, but you sure have got some impressive skills (that some of us can only dream of) and have put them to good use. And I'm sure he appreciates those working pockets!

Thank you both for your kind words! I love hearing what others have to say about my work Smile He's my first doll of this kind but certainly not my first doll! I gained a lot of these skills from working with dolls of all sorts be they plastic or plush, Ezzy here is sort of a culmination of a lot of practice! If there's anything like the clothes, hair, face, etc. that the forum might benefit from a tutorial of I'd be more than happy to share how I do it ^~^

Congrats on completing your first figure, he's absolutely adorable!!! You did a great job pairing a head with that body, I know it wouldn't have been easy to find one and decide on which to use. It turned out so well! And I love all your handcrafted and hand-sewn pieces for his outfit, it's very unique. I hope to see more from you in future. Smile

Ah more kind words, thank you! I have a 1/12th doll in the pipeline now with another 1/6th I'm hoping to make after that. I think it will be a good opportunity to put together tutorials on how I draft patterns and sew clothes for my figures and dolls! I hope then that I can help others make their own outfits for their lovely collections Very Happy

Welcome to the forum, n0vellette. Great work on the figure. I like rolling eyeballs, you can make many fantastic poses with him.
