I was finally able to get started on the Unoa Alchemy Lusis in fairy skin this past week, and got her face up done. It's been slow progress lately, which I apologize for, as I've been struck with migraines on the weekends (the days where I have time to work on commissions). But at least I was able to get some work done!
On the Unoa I still gotta restring her and blush her body as well as a mani/pedicure, but at least her face up is done! Without further ado, onto some pictures under the cut!

Been a while again since I updated here! I have a few things to show that I'll gladly get to that I've worked on these past 2 weeks. I worked on a Kids Sky Tutu, Souldoll Vito Ciro, and Souldoll Vito Han again.
I also received another commission, a full body and face up job on a Doll Chateau Elizabeth in grey skin! Oh, and my mother is visiting me from the USA this week, so I won't be able to work on dolls probably 'til she leaves again. But now, without further ado, onto some pictures under the read more break! I managed to work my way through two face ups the past few days as the weather wasn't always ideal. But at least I did manage to work on a Dollshe Saint SA and a Fairyland Chicline Inu! They were both very different ideas (and sizes!) and I had fun with both. Only a small post today!
Now without further ado, onto some pictures under the read more break! I've had a busy couple of days where I cranked out a couple commissions, and started on another! I cleaned, sueded, restrung, and blushed a Doll Chateau K-01 body, cleaned and face upped another Dollzone Dale (human bodied this time), and modded some fangs onto a Doll Leaves Laura who will get face upped in the next few days! I'm excited to show the new work!
Without further ado, onto some pictures under the cut! Well I haven't gotten as much done as usual, but I was able to squeeze in one of my own dolls, my Dollzone Daomiao-2, to teach a friend of mine how to face up. They did their first face up ever with just a little guidance from me (I only helped here and there, most they did by themselves!), and I'm really proud of them for taking the plunge! Sadly I don't have pictures of their face up, but I can show mine at least.
Pictures and more under the cut! Since I have run out of commissions, and don't have any new ones lined up, I've been redoing my own dolls. That's something I need to periodically do anyway, heh. This past week I had my Soom Beyla/Glot/Eliv with a Peapod Doll mermaid tail, and April Story Betty along with her hands on my work desk to be repainted. Without further ado, onto some pictures! So here we have my April Story Betty as well as her hands. Her hands had gotten horribly chipped since the last time I painted them. The blue french tip was a last minute decision, but I'm glad I did! Her face acquired two more piercings since last time (yes, I do applied piercings and can even imbed them in the resin if so requested), and her eyebrows are lighter to match her new wig!  Before and After A quick comparison of her last and current face up. Her scar is less red this time, but still there. It simply looks more healed than previously. If you'd like to see a picture of her with her wig, I have one in the Owner Gallery! Next up is my Soom Beyla OE/human head in cream white. She's a little siren girl, so scales were a must! She was quite the restoration process. I'm at least her 3rd owner, and for some parts I'm at least the 4th. Her body is a Soom Glot torso with Soom Eliv arms and ears, and a Peapod Doll mermaid tail that I later uncovered to be a sakura pink color AND one of 2 with a fade from dark butt to lighter fin in this color! What a special little girl!  Sales pictures I scored her on the DoA MP for a good price. She was double painted (as in she was painted once, and then painted over again without removing the previous paint job), and boy was that annoying to remove.  Mmmm.... doll soup! First things first, I took her apart (some of her joints were glued together from acrylic paint...) and threw her to soak in some 99.9% isopropyl alcohol. I started with the little bowl to clean her torso of the caked on paint and the glitter.  Starting to see her true potential! After much scrubbing I got at least her torso clean. Her hands were still with a lot of paint on them, so I left them to soak longer. I quickly realized she'd need to soak fully in alcohol for at least 24 hours to remove the remaining paint. So I did that. I poured 500ml of alcohol into some tupperware and put all her painted tail pieces in there.  The fin is starting to get clean too! So here my suspicion of her fin being pink was confirmed! Under the hot pink and white paint was a layer of purple and gold. The purple and gold paint sadly stained her a little in places, but that's nothing I can't hide with the new blush job!  All clean! After 1.5 days of soaking in 99.9% isopropyl alcohol, she was finally as clean as I was going to be able to get her. I replaced all the elastic in her and restrung her. She can do some cute things with her tail! Her face up is above obviously, but I haven't documented her body blush yet.  Hello, Morgan! So here she is all painted and refreshed! I slathered her in Aztec Gold PearlEx shimmer pigment after blushing her with reds. Please excuse the cruddy cell phone picture, my camera on my phone is getting dated...
The clothing is just spare stuff I had laying around, but the wig is hers and the eyes I specially made for her too. I wanted her to shimmer between gold and red as her parents are a Siren and a Fire Elemental. I think she suits them both! I'm so glad I got her after all as I'd been eyeing her on the MP for a few weeks already, trying to talk myself out of her. But I've wanted a YoSD mermaid for years now and was super sad when Peapod Doll closed... Either way, all's good! That's all from me for now, until next time! I managed to crank out another face up this past weekend, on a Vani Dolls Hugh in white skin. He was definitely an interesting sculpt to work on due to his 4 mouth pieces. He belongs to a dear friend of mine, and they have a love for smokey eyes and bold eyebrows, a wonderful style to work in! Without further ado, onto some pictures! So there he is! I had surprisingly more fun than I thought I would with painting the mouthpieces. I don't know why one my favorite is! I even made him some small iris acrylic eyes as his eye openings are so dang small. The parts I'm most proud of are the eyebrows!
Either way, this is all from me for now! Gonna share a project with you guys at a later time. Until next time! 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! 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! |
