Description
I just got my FairyLand Minifee Active Line ball joint doll [link] yesterday! (This is the specific one I got [link] minus the clothes.... so naked and $200 cheaper! )
I've been wanting one for years to use as lighting reference for my semirealistic styled paintings and now I finally have one 
I couldn't wait to try it out so here's the first colored sketch of my lighting practice drawings. There are others but I'm too lazy to post them now, maybe later XD
Of course a doll can never replace a real human body but this is very handy when you just can't find a good reference. Before this, I almost never use reference when I draw, which is bad because it's harder to improve that way.
I think the Fairyland Minifee Active Line is probably the best BJD out there for this kind of purpose since it has a lot of joints and can hold many poses that other dolls can't. I got a boy doll because he looks like a girl and the girl dolls are just way too girly XD My only dislike is the head, which is really childish and almost alien looking (without the wig) compared to the body [link] (<-- so creepy) I plan on sculpting my own head to put on there XD I'll take pictures when I'm done.
Oh, I'm sure you all know this character from Project WE by now? I tend to draw this person naked all the time which makes no sense because it doesn't happen in the story. And I'm not a pervert so...I don't know! XD
Now back to commissions and Knite!
PS: in case you still haven't heard. WE is put on hold until I finish Knite so no new answer in this post.

Congrats on getting your Minifee! BJD bodies are such useful references, and Fairyland definitely did a good job on their A-line bodies.
And, this picture is beautifully painted! Beautiful work on her scars.

The body shape is excellent. I suppose using a model really does help. I may need to order one myself. ^___^

something i always notice is the curves that artist draws, and i love how you drew they here! the proportions are so realistic in a semi-realistic way, and i've never before thought that thighs are beautiful x3

Congrats on the new doll! ^-^
The fairyland dolls have incredible bodies. Every single doll has awesome joints~ I have one of the pukis, and he can do almost anything! It's crazy!
Other than fairyland, I think the new DOT bodies are really good posers- the girl bodies especially, and the newest senior delf boy bodies are too.
Unclothed the joints can look awkward, but they still make fantastic models~
Are you a member of Denofangels?
Gorgeous picture, though~ ^-^
She's really, really gorgeous!

I wanna see the head! I wanna see the head! -bounces-
And you didn't answer a question in this one D:

Love the text on her body. And I love the body itself, I think it looks so beautiful. The anatomy and shading is fabulous.
But I do think her face looks a bit manly... Still think it looks great.
Love the shininess in her eyes.

You're sooo lucky!!! O_O

would love to see him too ^^
love your art!

Coulda put some pants on her, though.

Really love your Picture (:
But why you get an Seyorin if you think the Head is to childish and Alien-looking?
I think he is very cute and not an Alien <3
You could've choose a Head who suited your taste more?

Very nice!! I like how you did this :3
But you should probably put a nudity thing on here... you know, coz her va-j-j is kinda hanging out
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
there's no detail there. It's kinda like a barbie doll.. except for the upper half which is covered. There are worse with no nudity warning. But i think "Barbie doll" exceptions are fine.

EH, its not something I would let little children see is all. Thats all i was worried about

Ah that makes sense... haha

Minifees are great little things.
And I agree with you, the heads do look really alien-like without a wig on, haha!
Anyway, this practice piece is look neat! I should probably try to use my own Mnf boy as reference someday, hehe.
