Custom Character Dolls, Puppets, and Sculptures
Handmade in Bristol, UK
Ruzalkütaru has 3D (hand!)sculpted parts, printed in a durable ABS-like resin, and inset glass eyes- all hand painted and hand styled. His body is completely airbrushed, and he sports a luxurious banana-fibre mane. He also has a custom steel ball-and-socket armature for smooth posability. 2021
Blackgold was a big challenge for me to incorporate more 3D sculpted work. I designed and printed elastic ball joints for his legs, wrists, and ankles, and they worked out way better than I thought. His head, ears, and antlers were sculpted in Monster Clay and moulded and cast in resin. His legs and arms were sculpted in Zbrush and 3D printed. It was a fun project to make such a skinny character! 2020
Reaper the wolf, based around an Overwatch skin. What a lovely and complex character to make! I had a lot of fun working his patterns out. His colours came out so nice, and I'm really pleased with the result! Reaper is a custom commission. He's fully articulated with a wire and plastic armature, hand sculpted pieces, and hand sewn and painted faux fur. 2019
A beautiful, gilded dragon, Paresh was a feat in his own right to bring to life! 3D sculpted resin parts, hand painted and hand sewn gold velvet, Paresh stands at around 40cm tall, and 70cm long. Fully articulated, he sports golden hair pieces and a golden crown, as well as gold tipped throat and tail scales. He even has a silicone tongue for that added touch of realism. 2022
Monty and Zuma was the first doll to use all 3D (hand!)sculpted and printed parts. She was made with a steel ball-and-socket armature and her and his jaws and ears are fully articulated as well. Her front arms are silicone cast with wire toes. 2021
Linden was the first of my dolls to incorporate 3D sculpting and printing. His front paws were sculpted in ZBrush, and then printed out at home on my Photon. I absolutely loved his multicoloured patterns and vibrancy, and he was just as big as my cats! Wire and plastic armature with a mix of resin cast and printed pieces. Fully articulated. 2020
This is Sapphis, a beautiful wolf with a feisty streak! She was so much fun to work on, and so pretty too! Sapphis is a custom commission. She's fully articulated with a wire armature, hand sculpted pieces, and hand sewn and painted faux fur. Her jaw is also articulated. Her eyes, mouth, nose, paws, and beads are coated in an invisible UV reactive paint that glows a spooky blue under a blacklight. 2019
Miharu has 3D (hand!)sculpted parts, printed in a durable ABS-like resin, and inset glass eyes- all hand painted and hand styled. The black stripes are all hand sewn, with airbrushed orange fur over top. He also has a custom steel ball-and-socket armature for smooth posability. His tail is fully articulated, with 30 separate pieces to complete the entire tail. He's over 100cm long! 2022
Avineahr was one of the most complicated dolls I’ve made to date, with her complex fur pattern, webbed faux leather, and all of the hand cut and painted EVA foam feathers. She was made with a steel ball-and-socket armature, and her jaw and ears are fully articulated as well. 2020
A wire armature and sculpted pieces in Super Sculpey. She has articulated ears as well. A lovely piece to work on, and I enjoyed airbrushing her patterns on! 2019
A challenge so far, but I'm really happy with this one! Amit stands about 14" tall, and has a aluminum wire armature with resin cast pieces and a faux fur coat. He's fully articulated as well (although does require a stand to keep up!). This is the first character I've made with hair, and I actually had a lot of fun styling it:) 2019
Fully poseable with a steel ball-and-socket armature in the body and wings. The feathers are individually wired for poseability as well, and the ears can pivot on a ball socket. The jaw is also on a ball and socket joint so it can open and close. She’s enormous, standing 38cm (15″) tall, and her wingspan is roughly 95cm (37″) wide. She’s made from faux fur, which has been airbrushed and styled, and hand cut EVA foam feathers. Her head and paws are cast resin, painted with acrylics. 2018
Alexander is fully articulated with a plastic ball jointed armature in the body and wired wings and feathers. The jaw is also on a ball and socked joint so it can open and close. He is 100cm from nose to tail. His head and hands are hand sculpted and cast in resin, and he has glass eyes with painted backs. 2018
Jax Von-Dee, a demon fox character. His features are sculpted in Super Sculpey, painted with acrylics, and set over an aluminum armature, enabling him to be completely articulate. He stands an impressive 39cm/15″ tall. This doll was a blast to create! 2015
Misha was commissioned in the second half of 2023 and was completed in January 2024. He stands around 40cm tall and sports a handmade custom built plastic jointed and PVC armature.

His mane is comprised of a full human-sized synthetic wig! 2024
