Faceup process and a comparison between my Juri’s new and old faceups. It’s pretty fun to see 3.5 years of faceup progress! I actually really wanted the heavy coloration look originally, but I didn’t have very pigmented pastels, and the whole faceup was done in 2 layers. (The new one is 3, I’m not that NOT lazy still =p) I tried to contour her nose to look wide/flatter. I also added a comparison of a phone photo taken up close and one taken further back and cropped because she looks really different with the lens distortion.

More things I’ve had going for a while… I actually got a second Minifee Soony head that I wanted to use to make a darker skinned Soony. I had still been meaning to repaint my original Minifee Soony as well, since she was airbrushed (poorly) to match her old body. Since I’m waiting for the dark tanned body, I decided to repaint the new head as the original one’s character so that I could use the old faceup as an immediate reference, or keep it if I didn’t like the redo as much. I’m pretty happy with her though!

Here’s a newer-to-me girl, Black Cherry Dolls Cookie Brownie. She’s very fun! She’s wearing a Barbie shirt and Gene Marshall pants. She came with a very nice faceup by onion.bulb on IG, but it was damaged (lashes pulled off and took some paint with them, and rubs in the blush and lips), so I added some more blushing to fill it in.

Also in that last post, but I received the Dream Valley body in yellow for Tennant, so naturally I went right about cutting it up, haha. He was way too tall compared to Daniel and Conchita. He’s still a bit too tall but any further height would be harder to remove. I removed a chunk from the ankles and shortened the neck.
It wasn’t too hard, just a lot of sanding to smooth it out. I did it once before on a Resinsoul body and used Milliput to connect the pieces which I think was less visible, but I got lazy here and used superglue since I could always Milliput later.
What I did was stick the calves onto the feet, then draw two level lines around them by holding a pencil parallel to the table and rotating the calves. I drew perpendicular lines across (like a train track) and also marked the back center to keep things lined up. I cut the pieces out with a Dremel (saw might’ve been better but I don’t have a good one) and used a coarse sandpaper flat on the counter to get the edges flat and even. I glued them together by lining up the back center lines and the internal channel, then sanded it smooth.

I am behind on Tumblr again, RIP
After a long time searching, a kind soul contacted me who was willing to sell their Littlefee Soony! This faceplate has some unfinished mods I needed to tidy up but I’m very excited about this little one. Her ears were cut down further than I would have done but I think the shape is really cute. The faceup is a WIP - I wanted her to have big dark brows. She’s stuck unfinished at the moment because I can’t get to the airbrush right now and I can’t seal the layer.

A handful of quick photos from after I rearranged my shelves and redressed some dolls. I’ve been working WAS to much overtime for over a month now so sorry I don’t have much to say.

Tags on Tumblr are so annoying I’m just going to list the dolls in the post body and hope that lets searches pick them up.

More recent photos of Daniel, mostly to show off his new rings. Also there you can see that Tennant on the Dream Valley body is way too tall, haha. When his body in the right color arrives I’m going to shorten the legs.

People really seemed to like the Sphynx (thanks!) so I got a picture of her with the better wig, haha.

Myr got a really nice response so here’s an update on them. Thanks, it’s very appreciated!

I took these boudoir-y photos of Daniel a while back for a Men’s Monday BJD thing that IG was doing a while back. I get the distinct feeling the Tumblr crowd will be more interested than IG though. Thanks for all the nice comments on him!

Here’s the last of my kinda-finished dolls to recap (phew). She’s a Unoa 2nd Cream with the Dollybird face. She has a really weirdly designed body with astonishing bad and weird engineering, but I really wanted her because she can squeeze into Gene fashions and I have a whole lot of them that I got from an estate sale.

I tried to keep her faceup fairly simple but a bit glam. I didn’t sand her eyebrows or anything so those were a bit weird to paint.

This one had been my project for a month or so! She is Large. Very Large. But also not as heavy as a resin SD. She poses well and is super fun. I did pretty extensive mods on her face trying to make her look more stylized and less childlike.

She’s a Parabox 80cm Otohime Yu-Chan and she wears:
26mm eyes (could probably do 28mm since I enlarged them)
16-17 inch wig (Monique human hair and one from Parabox)
Newborn and 0-3 month baby clothes
Size 2 baby shoes

I also followed ao_ame0321 on Twitter’s tips to joint her hands so they’re very fun now. She’s also super fun to dress since I can pick up $2 baby clothes when I go by the thrift store.

I was fortunate to be able to snag both parts of this modded Minifee Tika at once from different sellers! I thought this head had a really appealing look but I didn’t want to get a floating head that was old FL tan and have to find a matching body. Luckily, a matching old tan body popped up. This doll has intense knife cat energy and similar vibes to older CP sculpts like Breakaway which I love. For the faceup I went with a similar vibe to the concepts I abandoned on Soony and I think it suits them better.

when ur cute but u swoop when startled

This monster is Pippa, a bat girl. She has very good vision and loves to stare soulfully at you.

She will be on my etsy tonight at 8PM est (December 19, 2019).

You come across her in a field of green flowers. She ignores you, but a few spores come drifting your way inquisitively.

last prize for my fanart contest winners!!!! I’m fond of this one and will probably do a few more in different colorways to put in my etsy shop.
