The finished Hakeev doll! So handsome!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I finally finished modifying the Kane doll into a Hakeev doll, and I think it turned out great! Here are the steps I used<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
How the doll started out<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I started with a Kane doll, because it most resembled Hakeev to start with. The more the doll resembles how I ultimately want it to look, the less work I will have to do to modify it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
I can see the resemblance <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The first step was to sand the doll’s head and features so the epoxy clay would stick properly (and also the back of his head was painted brown, I guess like shaved hair, so I sanded that off and repainted it too). Then I created the scarring around the eye, eyepiece, and Romulan ears with the Apoxie sculpt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
This guy is about to get his head sanded and lose an eye…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The new features added with Apoxie Sculpt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Sorry about the eye bro, there’s no hard feelings right<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then after that fully cured for 24 hours I painted all his features, as well as painted in his eyebrows and beauty mark. I also covered his knuckles and fingernail details with Apoxie Sculpt so it would look more like he was wearing gloves, and then painted on his gloves and paints (after sanding).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
looking pretty Hakeev-ey now<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Basically just painted over his old pants<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I made the birds for his harnesses out of Apoxie Sculpt. I made his bracers, greaves, and mantle out of Worbla and made the edges\/trim out of Apoxie Sculpt. I didn’t sand or cover the Worbla to make it smooth and I purposely put the rumply side facing outwards, because I felt like the texture looked a lot like the suede texture that Actual Hakeev’s bracers, greaves, and mantle had. Especially after painting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also had to sew him a tiny little tunic with tiny little piping. Sewing such a small garment was kind of a pain, but ultimately worth it because now I can make a bunch of little outfits and play dress up with him and it is adorable. I initially tried sewing his garment from satin, like my human-sized version of the garment, but that was a nightmare taking it on and off the doll. I could make it work if I sewed the doll into the tunic, but the whole point was to play dress up. So I used sport lycra instead, and that worked great. I could make it super tight and just squeeze the doll into it, and it would stretch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
