Of collectors and museums

I really want to create a piece which has a market in the musuem display industry and the ABJD collector.

I could easily forgo the collector market and create a more product like piece. The thing is I dont want to. Although I have all of the support and guidance to create a bolted together marketable piece I feel that I would be shamming myself. I've always wanted to make a ball jointed strung doll and still do even though the poseability and construction methods would be easier if my objective was less specific. The truth of the matter is also that by sticking so ridgedly to the bjd aesthetic I am not stepping on any of Blair's toes.

I would like to follow the rules imposed by Den Of Angels so that my pieces can be sold and pictured on the influential forum

Criteria

Construction

1. Made of resin
   All dolls on Den of Angels must be cast in resin.
   
   
2. Strung with elastic
   All dolls on Den of Angels must be comprised of multiple hollow pieces, all strung together for tension using elastic or a similar material.
   
   
3. Articulated using ball-and-socket joints (or a combination of ball-and-socket joints and hinge or sliding joints).
   Dolls that are primarily articulated using pins or hinges, such as those found in a Barbie or action figure, may be considered off-topic.
   
   
4. Highly poseable due to having many points of articulation
   At a minimum, dolls posted on DoA must be jointed in the following places: neck/head, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, ankle.
   
   
5. Have a 2+ part head with changeable eyes
   In order to be included, a doll's head must be able to be opened in order to insert eyes.
   Exception: Sleeping/closed eyed sculpts
   
   
6. Can wear a wig with brushable hair
   Dolls should be, by default, bald and ready to wear wigs.
   Exception: Anthros (see Anthro-specific criteria)
   Exception: Certain sculpts may have optional headcaps that have sculpted hair. (I.e. Elfdoll Mir)
   
   
7. Can wear shoes and cloth clothing
   Dolls should not have sculpted/molded clothing and should be able to wear cloth clothing and shoes.
   Exception: Certain sculpts may have optional pieces that may prohibit wearing clothing or shoes (i.e. Unoa high heel foot pieces).

Aesthetic and Intent

1. Intended by manufacturer for customization
   Dolls must be customizable. Even if a doll comes with a faceup, it must be possible to remove it without damaging the doll itself. Wigs cannot be glued on as they come from the manufacturer, dolls cannot be sewn into clothing as they come from the manufacturer.
   
   
2. Consistent with the aesthetic of other dolls presently allowed.
   This may include:
   • Attention to anatomical detail (distinct fingers and toes, sculpted finger and toenails, muscular definition)
   • Emphasis on body sculpt (body should be fully rendered, rather than left basic to primarily act as a vehicle to display clothing)
   • Facial style and proportion consistent with other dolls presently allowed on the forum
   • Body proportioning consistent with other dolls presently allowed on the forum
   • High emphasis on quality and technical artistry

I don't feel that imposing any of this criteria will negatively impact my piece as a marketable museum display.
