I am thrilled to introduce you to my latest creation: a Dhole art doll! Known as the Asiatic wild dog, the dhole is a unique species that has always fascinated me with its social behavior, striking appearance, and underappreciated role in the wild. Inspired by this remarkable creature, I decided to bring it to life in doll form.
The Design Process
This dhole art doll is a handcrafted piece, featuring a Sculpey face and feet for a detailed and lifelike look. I sculpted these elements with care to reflect the dhole's keen expression and sleek build. The body is made from thick faux fur, which I personally designed and sewed to capture the dhole’s rich, rusty-red coat. This luxurious fur gives the doll a sense of realism, while also providing a soft, tactile experience.
Poseability and Realism
One of my favorite aspects of this art doll is its full poseability. Thanks to the ball-and-socket armature inside, the dhole can be positioned in a variety of natural postures—whether it's crouching low, stretching out, or standing alert. This flexibility allows for endless possibilities when it comes to displaying the doll, giving it an animated presence.
To enhance its lifelike appearance, I hand-furred the face to seamlessly blend into the body’s texture. The meticulous process of layering fur over the sculpted face gives the doll a more organic feel, capturing the spirit of the real animal.
Size and Display
Measuring approximately 35x15 cm, this dhole art doll is a compact yet striking representation of the real animal. Its size makes it perfect for display on a shelf or desk, adding a touch of the wild to your space. Whether you’re a fan of wildlife, a collector of art dolls, or someone who appreciates handmade crafts, this piece is sure to capture attention.
