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! Whew, finally got some commissions in and managed to finish a multipart one already! I only got to show the Goblin Tales Mossling spring edition that I painted for a dear friend of mine. Without further ado, onto some pictures. The FYI will come at the end! I poured a lot of work into this little critter, in fact I devoted most of yesterday to painting him. My friend asked for a little lady bug on his face, which I loved. So of course I had to make it look like the lady bug would travel along the face haha.
Now for the FYI: With January over and it officially being February for a few days, I raised my price points by €5 each for basic work. It's been over a year since I increased my prices last and I feel my added experience and skill warrants a higher price. This is only for new commissions, not ones where I've already given a quote. Those I will honor of course. That is all for now, until next time! With no commissions to paint currently, I've been slowly evaluating which ones of my dolls need a refresher. This weekend Val, my Dollzone Chen in normal yellow skin, got an updated look. His head matches his body better too now! Without further ado, onto some pictures! So here's my handsome man. I wanted to mute his colors a bit to look more sickly I suppose? He's a vampire after all and shouldn't look as lively as he was. The part I'm most proud of in this face up are the eyebrows. I spent a long time on shaping and painting them!  Before and After Here's the quick comparison of his old to new look. This is literally the 5th face up I've done on him, and I think I finally gave him eyelashes successfully. Though he did fight me on gluing them in place.  3rd vs 37th vs 171st vs 250th vs 385th face up I will end this post with the above comparison of all the face ups he's had so far.
Until next time! With being out of commissions to currently do, I decided to repainted a floating head of mine as an alt-head for one of my own dolls. Her last face up was stubborn to remove, but hey, it didn't stain! The head is an Impldoll Azalea Elf, and her last face up I "lovingly" nicknamed the Candy Abomination. Without further ado, onto the pictures! So here we have my spare Impldoll Azalea Elf head in real skin. I decided to give her a glam look as my doll's other head is naturally painted without any make up. This face up took roughly 3 hours to complete, like half an hour of that was waiting for the glue to dry!  Here we have her two heads side by side. I painted the left head back in 2016 I think, so it's been a while! My blushed has definitely gotten softer and with better gradients. I also added "piercings" to her glam head that I painted yesterday, as the character is meant to have a bunch of them. They're just glued on though.  And I'll end this entry with the comparison of the face ups on this head. Now you can see what I mean with "candy abomination" on the before face up. Though I do love the new one!
That's all for now, until next time! Finally got around to finishing up my last two commissions, and I did some website maintenance as well. I updated my logo (minimal changes) and redid every page's banner with new images! The two dolls I worked on are a DikaDoll Mudan who only got some elf ears from me, and another Doll Family-A Luca that got tattoos all over! Without further ado, onto some pictures! First up is the DikaDoll Mudan with a face up from another artist, and an elf ear addition by me. The client wanted her to have ears similar to Doll Leaves Theresa, so I did my best to mimic them, just with more detail. I then blushed them to match! And here we have the Doll Family-A Luca I painted for a client. They wanted me to base her paint job on cherry blossom stained glass, so that was a fun challenge! She turned out lovely in my opinion and I barely had to make any corrections.
Anyway, I'm out of commissions currently, so now is the time to contact me if you want a face up from me still at my current pricing. Until next time! I had a productive weekend and finished not one, but two heads! One needed to be wiped as well as her default face up was too soft for the character. Both belong to the same client, and they are a sibling pair. One is a Little Cosmos Doll Bastian and the other is a Little Rebel André. Without further ado, onto some pictures! First up is the Little Cosmos Doll Bastian in tea skin. She turned out cute, though I struggled with the applied eyelashes. I might re-glue them before I give her back to her owner! Then here we have her big brother, an Little Rebel André in tan skin! For him the client asked for smoky eyes. And I made him some acrylic eyes as well to complete his intense look.
Both were very fun to work on and I'm glad I got to work on two new sculpts for me! Until next time! Already a new blog post? I'm just as surprised as you are! As a New Year's resolution I want to upkeep this section of my website better, so I don't post so much new work in a single post. Let's see how long I can keep up with it, haha! I finished up the Impldoll Baby Colby yesterday and got the pictures approved last night, so I can share them now here. She's a cute little girl in pink skin and is absolutely adorable. I'm lucky that pet dolls aren't really my thing, so I'm safe from wanting one. But anyway, onto some pictures! Here she is! I kept her color scheme to pinks and a little bit of magenta/purples as well just to make her details pop. I painted scales along her face as I felt it was too bland otherwise. She also has a subtle shimmer going on along her whole body.
My little light box broke over the holidays (wouldn't turn on and kept short circuiting my laptop when I plugged it in to light it up), but fortunately my dad misunderstood my christmas wish and bought me a new one, that's like 6 times as big and I have no clue where to put it so I don't have to keep disassembling it. I'm still learning to set my camera for it, these pictures were the first ones I took in it! I'm still open for commission! Only January left with my current pricing, and then February 1st, 2019 comes the price increase. I hope everyone has a lovely weekend, until next time! I hope everyone had a good Holiday season with much cheer and merriment! As well as a good slide into the new year. My holiday was a little hectic, but it ended on a high note, so that's good. To finish up 2018 I painted one more doll, a Doll Family-A BoBo in white skin. He ended up becoming a Koi fish that I'm gifting to a dear local friend and their kids. And the Impldoll Colby arrived and is in process already, but no pictures yet as I need to send some to the owner to see what they think. The FYI will come at the end! Anyway, onto some pictures! Here he is in all his fishy glory! I did brush a ton of shimmer powder on him, which is very subtle along the fins after sealing. Also I swapped out his brown acrylic eyes for these red glass ones to make him really glow!
Now for the FYI: It's been a long time since I've upped my prices, and I feel my work has advanced enough to raise them by €5 on each basic tier. I meant to raise them last year around my birthday, but never did. This time the price increase will come on February 1st, so January will still have my current pricing. I wish for you all to have the best year yet in 2019! Here's to the future!! Once again, I've been a busy busy bee with face up work. I've just about finished everything I have on me, other than the DF-A BoBo and the Little Rebel Andre as the owner is waiting on his body to see if he needs a color match in the face! Things I painted the past few days are: Notdoll Ligaya, Mystic Kids Evelyn, Fairyland PukiPuki Mary, and again my Dollzone Daomiao-2 because she chipped her face up due to my rough handling of her. Without further ado, onto some pictures! First up is the Notdoll Ligaya in crystal rose skin rocking a goth look with dark blue lips. This gal's head is massive, and requires at least 18-20mm eyes. I didn't have anything in those sizes (other than some demon eyes in 18mm), so she got some grey 16mm eyes put in. It's rare that I get to do gothic face ups, I mostly get to do natural or fantasy. Despite that, I still enjoy doing darker face ups too! Then next up is another goth beauty, this time a Mystic Kids Evelyn in normal pink skin. She was tough to get clean because I swear her old eyelashes had been superglued in place. I could not get them off, not even with isopropyl alcohol! I finally had to scrape them off with a pin and rip them out with tweezers. Good thing they were already heavily damaged so I didn't feel bad ripping them further apart. This little thing is a Fairyland PukiPuki Mary in natural skin. I was given free reign with her, so she got a fantasy face up! Glittery blue make up, but otherwise naturally blushed. I need to secure her wig better too. She belongs to the same client as the Mystic Kids Evelyn. Last, but not least, is the redo face up on my Dollzone Daomiao-2 in normal pink skin. I'm actually much more satisfied with this face up than the last one. Just kind of annoying that I had to repaint her so quickly... Either way, she's a cute little thing, being the tallest of my YoSDs.
I'm still open for commissions as most that I've done these last two weeks are already back with their owners! I still need to restring the Mystic Kids Evelyn, but then she and the PukiPuki are ready to return home to their owner. I am expecting one more commission from the USA, which'll be a fun one to work on! |
