I take weekends off, so I take the time to repaint my customized dolls during that time. I was super happy, that my Rou was coming along nicely. I thought I just needed eyelashes and brows, and then I would add a few additional details here and there, and be done. But nope. Something went completely wrong. I have zero idea what, exactly. A huge old piece of the fixative came right off, as I was blending paint on his left side!
Never in my more than twenty years of repainting toys, has anything like this ever happened to me before. Not even when i was a brand new, newbie repainting toys. It's so frustrating. More so because I have no idea what went wrong, in the first place? I live in a neutral humidity area, there was no rain Saturday when I sealed the face plates, to prime them for painting. I didn't start painting until Sunday, so the primer was well beyond cured by then. I saw no signs that the fixative hadn't adhere to the resin, no cloudiness, no shininess, nothing. I don't know what went wrong.
Now, I am so frustrated. I kind of want to just wipe both plates and start again all over from zero. Part of me also just wants to add more fixative and try to move on. I want both plates to look like the same exact face, because that's the way it is supposed to be. My Fairyland Chic Line Rou represent my custom OG Dissidia version of Sephiroth. That's who I want him to be, and I don't know how to feel right now. Other than completely frustrated! So many wasted hours, just to have zero worthy results of the time wasted. T__T;;
