Progress of a doll

So last summer I spent a lot of time working on dolls and I just realized that I forgot to post any progress pictures of them here on dA.

After the tiny Eka dolls, this is the second jointed doll I've finished. She took a lot of work to sculpt and there are some things I would change if I were to do it all over again... I might still try to redo her legs at some point but for the most part I'm really happy with her.

The original sculpture was made with la doll brand clay, which is kind of like an air drying paper clay I think, and she was 10 inches tall. The porcelain copies shrank down to 8.5 inches tall.
Seeing how much the porcelain shrinks is probably my favorite part!
When I designed her I wanted her to represent a 5 foot tall girl. That's not too important except I plan to sculpt many new bodies that will be in the same scale as this one. I think my next one will be a little taller and maybe look a bit more curvy or something. Or maybe I'll make a child in the age 7ish range..
