This was him right out of the box:

Just a gorgeous doll, even blank. But, I intend for him to be one of my OCs, Cernun, a spring spirit. So he can’t remain blank.

At first I was intending to dye him, but then I realized I liked the more organic looking color variations that comes from doing a color change with pastels. So I thought I would do it that way instead. Though last time I did a pastel color change was on my Doll Chateau Pluto, and even then I only did her legs and tail. So I had never done a color change of this magnitude with pastels…

So let’s do a test area! I wasn’t 100% sold yet on the resin wig, so I decided to try blushing the wig first:

And I really loved how it turned out. So I did the antlers and started adding flowers and butterflies to really give that Spring Spirit vibe:

Which turned out super pretty when it was finished:

Then I moved on to his faceup, which I wanted to still have those floral/spring vibes, but be a bit more subtle since his hair and antlers were so extra:

I absolutely love how it turned out, and I made him some custom eyes to fit his vibe.

And I just…

Love him so much

So now I’m working on blushing his arms so I can avoid taking him apart completely for a little bit longer.

More collection pruning

He is cute as hell but ultimately he didn't end up being what I wanted
