#face up

Finished Meena Fleur! As mentioned previously on the Bella Parker post, I'm trying to get back into face ups and wanted to practice on these WIPs I started three years ago. Bella Parker was mostly done, so I didn't get much practice in, but Meena was mostly unfinished and oof. So much of it is getting reacquainted with supplies and materials.

"And she won't say a word

Until you kiss the girl!" 🧜🏻‍♀️

(Guess who got a new camera and is loving every single picture and then spiraling when having to choose the right photos for a post?)

Aaanyway, I'm so hyped to share my first full Ariel OOAK doll with you all! It's crazy that it's taken me this long (as a wannabe mermaid since I was a kid, you'd think I would be doing The little Mermaid's dolls nonstop, huh), but thanks to an amazing commissioner, I finally got the chance to bring her to life 💖

The gloss on the face means I can't use watercolor and erasing acrylic lines is way more stressful T_T I gave up on the other set of eyelashes for today.

WiP - Face up & Neck mod for Janet

So you remember Janet, the doll I waited 3 years for? I know I declared her finished as I don't really want to deal with her. Guess what? I still don't want to deal with her.

But I want to get painting her off my mental list, also the neck joint is so horrible not even sueding helps much.

It keeps on sliding around.. i decided to perma mod it with apoxy. As this is just a horrible joint to deal with and with all the hassle the doll came with already I want at least not be annoyed and hating on her when i get her out to pose.

Then she needed some kind of paint. I don't paint all of my Pumpkin heads but some get at least some kind of blush.

But yeah she got blushed and some linework to make her less static looking.

Camera refuses to show the details and the sealant ate the blushing :') well, she's painted I guess.

All 700 of my faceups in order of completion

It's been almost 15 years since I started doing faceups in August/September of 2011 on my first bjd, my Resinsoul Ai.

I've painted her 8 times so far, always 99 faceups apart so she could always be the 100th since the last time I painted her. I started this collage when I did my 50th faceup, boy was it hard to find pictures of all the previously completed faceups p until that point.

The collage used to be just one image up until I reached 500 completed faceups, but neither my computer nor photoshop could handle the file anymore, so I split it up into sections of 50.
