Shiro development/log
July 2020: Start of project Kanako store. Brainstorming about product ideas, first contact with Rule34.xxx
August 2020: The product idea we are focusing on the most: An innocent looking doll that turns into a sex doll when you take off her clothes.
First concept art of Kanako, the mascot of Kanako store. Figuring out her personal attributes: A mischievous and naughty college girl with lots of energy.

September 2020: Starting to work full time on project Kanako store!
Introducing a new character: Shiro. A naïve kuudere, who visits the same college as Kanako.
The concept art for Shiro was created in the same month.
First contact with multiple manufacturers, research about different materials and mixtures.
Digital concept art of Shiro
October 2020: Creating the website Kanako store. Thinking about different clothing options for Shiro. Designing the clothes and choosing the materials for it. Managing the production costs.
CREATING THE FIRST PROTOTYPE:
We created a 3D model of the body and printed it out of resin. We used the 3D version as a reference and hand sculpted a version out of clay, which hardens after heating it up. Out of that we created a mold, in which the silicon was poured in. Result: Our first prototype of Shiro’s body :)
We quickly stumbled upon a few problems: The silicon ripped apart when applying too much pressure, the head would pop off the body occasionally, and the doll couldn’t sit or pose properly.

November 2020: Production start of the handmade clothes.
Fixing the issues of the prototype that we had last month: we tweaked the material and height and put a rubber coated metal skeleton inside the doll. After successfully applying these changes, we also hand painted the new improved prototype to see how the finished product would look like.

December 2020: Starting the prototype production of the head.
We hand sculpted the head out of clay based on Shiro’s concept art. We once again created a mold out of that, in which the material was poured in. The eyes were printed on and the face was painted on per hand afterwards. It took multiple adjustments to make the eyes look as beautiful and real as they do now.
We created multiple expressions of Shiro, so that the customer can choose how she looks.
The different clothes were finished this month as well.

February 2021
The production of the doll was temporarly put on hold. In China there was a new corona lockdown before the Chinese new year.
At the end of February, things start to move again. We also started working on packaging. For this, we collaborated with a new artist to create some concept art.
Here are all the sketches we made:

We are not completely satisfied with the look of it yet, so we’re trying to make them look more fluffy, like this:
