Jasdavi was a challenge to paint. I got the doll in a normal tone but I knew I hat to paint at least the head in another color.
I was not sure which one to choose as the newer illustrations all show the Noah with a more brown skintone while all older ones show them with a gray one, the anime has a deep gray and urgh...
I decided to mix something that would hopefully be something between gray and brown to compromise here.
The downside is as I still don't own an airbrush the surface is very textured due the use of a sponge but it's more even like this.
While the head dried I worked on the hands. Jasdavi wears gloves but I still refuse to sew doll sized gloves with fingers so I cheat and paint the hands.
Due the rough surface painting details wasn't exactly easy and blushing was a bit of a challenge as well.
But as I went on I decided to give Jasdavi eyebrows and the Stigmata bc i think they are clearly missing in the OG design.
And as you can see I really started to fall in love with this silly head, this was a peak choice for Jasfabi i am so in love.
Here you can see the head actually shifts color! Just like I had intended it shifts between gray and brown depending on light and angle, this makes me so happy with the progress.
And a small snapshot of the finished doll, the light is awful these days but I think i can take a few more snaps soon!
