New extra jointed body options for Malena!

Some of you would remember the new master for the Malena body published a few months ago; now a pair of Malenas with two major improvements will be available soon. While they are being finished here are some comparison pictures with the normal Malena body. All of them will be available at the same time and you will be able to choose how many and which one extra joints do you want included in your custom order.

For this first two Malenas we choose to assemble them with a different selection of joints, with the intention of to compare the range of movements that each improvement add to the doll; one of them has only the waist joint added and the second one has both, the waist joint and the double joint at the hips.

At a certain point, every bjd artist should face the dilemma that the adding of extra joints involve, while this extra joints gives the doll a wide range of movement and, because of that, more expresivness, for the other side it implies a break in the flow of the  lines of the body and changes its aesthetique. A more flexible body capable of all kind of posses, is maybe not as natural at the view  like one with lesser joints, in which one the anatomic correctness and elegance of the human form will be more apreciatted. But, that is the enchantment of to sculpt articulated dolls, to have more options give us more chances to explore and experimenting, the original Malena has its own sculptural pleasant elegance and the lens of the camera adores her, but the new ones, with their new options, besides the satisfaction that the design and sculpting process gaves to us, is also a new model that will inspire new characters and more creative oportunities to take them pictures.
