Рот закрой, недоделанная ТП прибалтийская.

Exactly!I'm surprised everyone is seeing a copy here, those faces are sculpted pretty differently. The only similarity I see is that the mouth has a pout, but how many hundreds of dolls have pouty lips as well? I'm all too familiar with infringement, as well as various mediums of art including digital painting and sculpting, and this is not a recast at all. Does anyone see that the Modoll eyes are almond shaped and tilt up at the outer corners while the Popovy eyes are deeper set with a heavier lid? Or that the Popovy mouth is fuller and wider? The nose wider and rounder too? There are only so many ways to sculpt a face, especially if you are sculpting a trendy look. For example, I make wings and if another wing maker makes a similar set of butterfly wings but the veining is different I don't have an infringement claim because I do not own the butterfly's wing design, just as no one person can own a type of face. We are all copying from nature here, so in terms of faces and butterfly wings this would have to match to the precise measurements down to the millimeter to call it a copy, and that is not what MoDoll has done. Not at all, frankly. Sounds like maybe there is some sort of behind the scenes drama between the two companies for this to even be brought up as an infringement, as it's just not there. Did the Popovy sisters invent the whole idea of the BJD? Because if not, can't someone say they are ripping off whatever artists made BJD's before them?

I worked on the clothes for this project with San and Mau, and yes, there are similarities, but despite what is being said, this doll is not a recast of the popovy mold, the creators made a 3D rendering from scratch and worked from a real scan of Lindsay's face to make the sculpt. Peewit was obviously inspired by Lindsay, and the proportions of the body are both fashion figure stylizations which we are seeing more of. Santiago and Mauricio have nothing but respect for the work of the Sisters Popovy, and it is obvious from the girls' new body sculpt which came out at the same time that they are quickly moving beyond any comparison. The project was a purely an editorial exploring the distillation of the model to the doll through 3D technology-- and if anything has spread more awareness of both ideas and brands to different crowds. I'm sure if the doll is sold commercially, there will be changes made to the body sculpt to further differentiate. Like someone mentioned earlier, if you peel back one or two layers, BJDs continue to overlap more and more in terms of aesthetics--- and the Sisters are true artists who are ahead of the curve in exploring a trend in BJD dolls toward the elongated figure--- and they will not be the last. No one can strip away another artist's integrity, and art can beget and inspire art, something that should be celebrated in this age of oversharing, and not mindlessly bullied and policed by people who aren't actually reading and investigating the content.

Andrew Yang, c'mon man, it looks soo weird!
If it was a scan of the real person (Lindsey), why in the end it looks like Popovy Dolls and nothing like Lindsey?? This is incredible coincidence out of million possible shapes and proportions it turned out to be the same proportions as Popovy!!

Andrew Yang, it is true that art inspires art but if "Santiago and Mauricio have nothing but respect for the work of the Sisters Popovy" as you say, shouldn't they give them some credit where credit is due. They present this project as their own, as if it was something new, unique and original when in actually it is so heavily inspired by another artistic project. You talk about spreading awareness of ideas and brands to different crowds yet there is no mention of BJDs and less of Popovy Sister without whom those modoll dolls would have looked so much different...
By the way, Modoll is a name of a bjd company from HongKong, I understand that you were trying to put the words model and doll together but it's kind of confusing, people keep on thinking you're this other doll company.
