As the title says, only 2 days remain to partake in the Birthday Sale! Buy one service, get another at 30% off! Also I managed to crank out another commission, this time I repainted a Fairyland PukiFee Luna in tan skin. I matched her eyebrows and eyelashes to her wig, she turned out darling if I may say so. Without further ado, onto some pictures! The wig is a short little curly thing that is absolutely adorable, but I sadly don't have any pictures of it placed against her faceplate with the finished face up. I wasn't sent her eyes so I used the only pair I had in my jar that fit her eye-wells.  Before - After In other news, I'm nearly completion with the Crobidoll Daydream Lance commission. His torso is mostly blushed, and his hands and feet are also just about done. Next come his arms and legs! No pictures currently as I'd only have some cell phone shots and they really don't show things well.
That's all from me for now, until next time!

Despite being sick, I was a busy bee during the times I felt better. I completed two face ups, and received a third to work on yesterday. The heads I worked on were an Angel Philia J/Misa and a Crobidoll Daydream Lance Version 1. The latter of the heads I worked on is getting a full body blush as well, so he's not done quite yet. But anyway, without further ado, onto some pictures! First face up I did is on an Angel Philia J (a.k.a. Misa) head in white skin. The client wanted soft blushing, brown eyeliner with small wings, and soft lips. I suggested making them look like she's wearing lip gloss with a tiny bit of shimmer in it. The client liked the idea and gave the go ahead! So here she is all pretty and cute. Vinyl is still such a different beast to work on as it's much more porous than resin. I seal a lot more before I even start on painting. Then here's the second face up I completed, a Crobidoll Daydream Lance Version 1 in normal skin. This client wanted much more dramatic eyes than the last one, with a fade from dark to a lighter blue. I even gave his eyelids a soft blue shimmer to complete is look.
He will be getting a full body blush too, but I'm waiting until next week to do so, to give myself the weekend off due to illness. At least my cough feels better today, but now I can't stop sneezing, so that's annoying too. Please don't forget that I still have my sale going on until the 15th! Buy one service, get another at 30% off! That's all from me for now, until next time! It's been a bit since I've last face upped, but I finally have some new work to show! This time I painted a Fairyland MNF Shushu in natural skin and even gave her a fresh manicure as her last was a nightmare to remove. Without further ado, onto some pictures! So here she is, she's gonna be styled as a pastel goth once back in my friend's hands. I had a lot of fun with brows making them so bushy and big, usually I do more delicate ones but her previous face up had bold brows too so I ran with it. And once again, lovely ombre lips of black and purple! One of my favorite color combinations for sure. She does have painted lip lines, they are just hard to see in the pictures from the gloss. The hands were fun too, I gave the ring-fingers an accent nail color to tie back into the face up colors.  Such a pretty little thing Also, my sale is still going. Heads/Parts do need to be ready to be sent my way, so please keep that in mind when contacting me for the "Buy 1, Get 1 30% Off" offer! Please don't hesitate to reach out for a commission, now is an excellent time to do so, there's very little that I'm unwilling to do customization-wise!
Until next time! I had an itch to repaint one of my dolls, specifically my Dollzone April, because I didn't like how badly I over-blushed her. So shortly after completing my 400th face up, I'm already on my 401st! I also have an exciting FYI to share with you guys at the end of the post! Without further ado, onto some pictures! So here's my girls new face up! I kept the colors the same, just with much less blushing and switched up the designs a bit since the bangs of her wig hid the ones going up her head. I sadly fudged up the lips in the glossing stage, so I had to paint over them again. Oh well, better luck next time I suppose!  Here you can see how much (or little) the face up changed. Also made her some bright green acrylic eyes, as the orange-hazel ones I'd made her previously made her look much too samey all over.
Now for the FYI! My 30th birthday is coming up fast here (April 1st, yes I am a joke and tell terrible jokes), so I wanted to do something special for it! How does 30% off sound to you guys? Rules are simple, they apply to any multipart commission I receive: Contact me from now until April 15th for a slot (I'll also honor multipart commissions I haven't received yet) for more than one service (i.e.: two face ups, body blush and face up, face up and manicure, etc...), pay one service full price, and any additional service will be 30% off! The most expensive service will be the full price one, and any additional ones will be at the discount. I'm willing again to take on up to 3 services per slot again, as I'm still trying to get a job so I have some time still. But do keep in mind that it will extend my turnaround time if I have more than one part to work on per slot! That's all from me for now, until next time! Cranked out a couple more face ups this week, one on a Fairyland MNF Momo and the other on my own Resinsoul Ai. I finally reached 400 completed face ups since I started painting dolls in August/September of 2011! The MNF Momo was a commission from a dear local friend, and the Resinsoul Ai is one of my own. Without further ado, onto some pictures! First up we have the Fairyland MNF Momo in natural skin. She belongs to a dear friend of mine, who also asked me to make her some eyes. I let them pick the color (lavender) and made them with acrylic bases in 12mm. 14mm eyes were far too big and her original eyes were also way too dark.  She had come to me with a Default face up (and too big eyes), but my friend wanted her to be a lot more pink. The default face up was very pretty, but not exactly flattering, especially how they did her mouth. And here we have my Resinsoul Ai in fleshtone skin from 2011 named Zephyra. This face up is very special as it is my 400th! I finally reached this wonderful milestone, and to celebrate it I repainted Zephyra. It's tradition for me to repaint her every 99 face ups to be the next 100th. I always keep the theme the same, so that I can track my improvement better. Hard to believe that it only took 2 years to paint 99 face ups (and a bunch of fantasy and body parts) to get here.  1st vs 100th vs 200th vs 300th vs 400th face up She's gone through so many face ups, only doll with that many in my collection is Val (Dollzone Chen), who I think I've also painted 5 times. I'll need to check at some point to see. Again, for this face up I used Citadel Munitorum Varnish for sealant, and I'm still having difficulties with it. It has a lot less tooth than MSC, so I had to layer quite a bit more than I usually do. But, shimmer shows up much better post-sealing with this sealant. MSC likes to pretty much dull it away unless I paint it on. Reaching 400 face ups also means that I can share my monster collage again. On my computer it's all one very long image file, but I broke it apart here so it's easier to zoom in and look at the face ups.
Man... I started this collage when I reached 50 face ups, that's why the first image was really.... diverse in backgrounds. I eventually figured out that keeping the same background is a better idea for unity! It also wasn't until last year that I got a photo light box to take pictures in. My documentation pictures definitely improved once I acquired one of those. Still learning how to set my camera for it so I don't have to do as much post-photo color and lighting corrections. That is all from me for today, until next time! I managed to crank out this weekend another commission, this time it was artist choice. The head is a Fairyland Feeple60 Chloe, the first Fairyland Chloe I've ever worked on. I've always joked that I'm not popular enough to paint one as I've literally never been commissioned to paint one. The sculpt is very doe-eyed and has lips for days. Without further ado, onto some pictures! I'm usually hesitant to do artist choice, because the possibilities seem so endless, and I always have the worry of "will the client like this???", but it went well with this one as the client owns several heads they just like to go wild on. I've always wanted to do another butterfly wing along the eyes face up, as the first one I did was more like fiery wings than specifically butterfly ones.
Her ears were already pierced, so I put hoops in with little stars dangling from them. I think it's a cute touch! Now I just need to pack her up and get a shipping estimate back to the client. I'm still open for commissions! My slots are not even half filled currently, so if you'd like one of my face ups on your dears, please don't hesitate to contact me! That's all from me for now, until next time! As I'm still waiting on a commission to leave customs (don't know the charges yet), I painted my wife's last two blank heads. They are Soom MD Serin/Rico heads, one is the open eyed version, the other is the romantic head. Now I just need to paint the torso of her Dollzone body and she's finished other than her proper outfit. Without further ado, onto some pictures! I worked on both heads together as they belong to the same character. I tried to keep the scales as identical as I could, so that it wouldn't be as jarring to switch between the heads. I love doing freckles, it's been too long since I've done lots of them!
I've been experimenting with Citadel Munitorum for my own face ups, as I'm trying to save my MSC for commissions. So far I still prefer MSC, I feel it has a better tooth and colors stick better to it than the Citadel sealant. For example I had to really layer the lips with far darker and intenser colors than I usually do when I use MSC. For commissions I'm still gonna stick to using the MSC, because I know that beast better. The Munitorum also has a satin finish rather than a true matte. I'm finally healthy physically again, will be heading to the post office today to send out some packages that I've been sitting on far too long. I apologize for the delay! Oh! Just a little exciting for me news, I'm almost at 400 face ups! I'm literally at 397 currently. Two more and I can repaint Zephyra and see if I've gotten better in the last two years. I am excited! Commissions are still open, so please don't hesitate to contact me! That's all from me for now, until next time! While waiting on my last commission to arrive from this batch, I decided to repaint my Fairyland LTF Juri 2013 in natural skin. My wife gifted me for Christmas a second Juri2013 faceplate, that I modded to dreaming. I'm a sucker for having dolls with open and sleepy eyed looks. I was always sad that I would never be able to get that a dreaming/sleeping head for Aurora (my LTF Juri 2013) because she's an event faceplate. Then I realised I can mod! Anyway, without further ado, onto some pictures! I've been meaning to repaint Aurora for months, but I had to wait for her second faceplate to arrive so I could work on them together to keep them as close as possible. The first thing I did of course was mod the second faceplate from open to dreaming, which was a task and a half in itself. This is only my second time closing eyes. I don't do mods often, but I do enjoy them to be honest!  Modded VS Unmodded I still need to paint her horns and wings, as well as possibly blush her little paws, before I can call her done again. She used to be purple themed, but I felt as a princess gold would be a much better color scheme for her!  Her previous face up was a good 3 years old. It's kind of fun to see how much I've improved in just a couple of years! My eyebrows have definitely improved by leaps and bounds, as well as my painted eyelashes.
It's kind of funny, I'm looking forward to redoing my Resinsoul Ai (Zephyra) as I'm 4 face ups away from reaching 400 completed face ups. Zephyra always has to be the 100th face up, no matter how many heads I have laying around. It's tradition to see how much I've improved in 99 face ups since the last time I painted her. Anyway, that's all from me for now, until next time! Just as the title says, I'm open for more commissions again! I completed everything I received faster than anticipated so I was able to re-open before the month was up as well!. My new prices have gone into effect as well, so please be aware of them. Anyone that's already gotten a quote from me won't be affected as I'll honor those. I also was able to finish the last face up in my possession, on a Mithral Dolls Mirage in dark tan. She belongs to a dear friend of mine and I'm so glad she let me work on the second shell for the character. Without further ado, onto some pictures! The doll is a wonderful chocolate tan, which can be tricky to blush as the pastels change after you seal them. They always look lighter at first, fortunately I've worked on such dark resin before and can safely assume how it'll look once sealed.
I can't wait to see her styled by her owner! I loved the old shell too, but this new one is fantastic for the character. At least she no longer has a white wig, so I didn't have to battle with white eyebrows/lashes! That's all from me for now, until next time! I'm still being a busy bee with getting through my commissions. I only have 2 left as I'm still waiting on them to arrive! This past week I managed to complete two more commissions, one is a modded Volks DDH-04 and the other is a Doll in Mind Chloe. Without further ado, onto some pictures! First up is the modded Volks DDH-04 in semi-white skin. She came with a previous artist's face up, which I wiped and then I modded some elf ears onto her. Next I did her face up as well as her facial tattoo based off of a character in Dragon Age if I'm not mistaken. I'm the first to admit that anime-styled face ups are hard for me to pull off, but I'm dang proud of this one! Then here we have the Doll in Mind Chloe in normal skin. She also came with a previous face up, which took a lot more effort to come off, but in the end she was ready to be painted too. She went from a sweet to a gothic little girl. I need to make her some new eyes, red ones! That'll be fun too.
Now that we got these two face ups out of the way, I need to pay the ransom fee for another commission box to be picked up on Monday. Sadly my post office is closed today, but I was able to ship some out at a different post office. That is all for now, until next time! |
