Doll of The Day- Moon

Recently arrived my new doll Moon. She is Impldoll  Young doll 46cm. She arrived yesterday and I went to work on her. When I got her she was a boring plain doll no eyes no makeup. I did her face up and pierced her ears. About 4 hours total out into her. She is all ready for new years and all lovely Moon will bring us into the New Year! Happy 2014 to everyone.

These following pictures on the side show the steps of painting her. I tried to take more pictures but while working on on a project i don't think STOP take a picture.

One by one I put the layers on of the make up. Starting with the the brown layer then it goes to black. Placing a fine line in the mouth and then painting the lips.

From there I do the finer details. They eyelashes, ear details, eyebrows, and nose.
 

 The picture to the left is shows you the difference Eyelashes make on the doll. Also you can see I have placed the blush on her face.

For the eyebrows I painted a brown layer of brown down followed by a layer of yellow. For the finishing touches I place a thin layer of of bronze to go with the brown hair and shine.




Next came the horns they were white when I got them the same as her skin colour. With them I painted a light pink first. I took a watercolour with a darker pink and painted in details.

Once they were dry I took a layer of gold paint and lightly painted over. waited for them to dry completely so I could put on the final touch of varnish. The varnish protects, seals, and adds a glossy touch.

 

After all that work here we are with the final product. you will notice in this picture her ears are pierced. I took a 1/18th drill bit and placed holes in them. Sorry I do not have a picture of that.

Also notice the grooves in her head that were in the first pictures are not seen. That is because that is wear the horns go, they don't fit in perfect but it's guidlines.  

I didn't make the dress I had it made for me. sorry so no details about that.

 Here she is without her horns. If you didn't want the horns on her the wig easily covers up the grooves.

She is for sale all seen in the picture is included. I have her listing posted on a few sites like DoA and Facebook.

Doll of The Day- Spring

The second doll in my seasons collection, Spring. I know when people think of spring they think of bright pastel colors like the ones you see at Easter, that is not what I see. Have you ever worn bright colors in spring with all the mud and dirt they don't stay clean. So when I think of spring I think of the brown earth and the bright green of budding new life. For him it was a matter of repainting his face, sewing his outfit and rooting his hair. The hair was the hard part once I rooted it taking a day (getting better at it). From there I took hours to braid all his hair. I wanted to braid his hair to look like vines and to show out of the brown earth came a plant of vines. His outfit wa based on a chinese robe so it is not a dress. He is for sale please contact me if you are interested. Took me about 20 hours to do everything.

Doll of The Day- Dawn

Dawn of The Dead

Dawn Doll

 A Reborn Doll project I did. She was a old Dawn doll my mom had when she was a kid. My mom had a collection of Dawn dolls some played with others not. This was one that was really played with and in the worst condition. A cat chewed the feet and because they were rubber legs he knees were ripped. So one day me and my mom were going through her old stuff and I found this doll it had a blueish face and my mom explained when she was a child she put shoe polish on the hair and it spread to her face she wanted her doll to have black hair. It had been washed away over the years but her face was a icky blue. So now being a doll doctor I told my mom I can restore her. She agreed so I was starting working on cleaning the face and it was working almost done and mom changed her mind and told me I could do what I wanted. I wish she would have told me a few hours ago. but that was fine I looked at her blueish face and thought she looked dead so I thought hmm what am I doing I'm making her a reborn doll and she is dead, Zombie Time! from there I removed her only hair added some curls to it and did it half and half  hir with the front blond and the back black with a few streaks or red. Then I did put some more makeup on her face to make her look more dead then I colored her lips silver and painted on a scar. Repainted her eyes and made her look all dead. I did paint scars on her body for effect. with her bad legs I took some trend made it thick and sewed it in and out to make it look like they were sticked on. from there all that was left was a dress. I took some hard to sew stretch material and covers her body. I wrapped it around and braided a belt to hold it in place and the sewed on little sleeves. once she had a nice little dress I cut it in random placed to make it look like she had ripped or it was ruined over the years she had been dead. Her name came from the fact she was named Dawn and she is dead so Dawn of The Dead one of the better zombie movies out there.

Doll of The Day- Yukari Yakumo

Yukari Yakumo 

She was based off Yukari Yakumo from the series Touhou. She was made for a friend who never claimed her so she is still mine. The picture above is her first eyes they have been changed since then (the nex eyes are seen in the other picture). I did buy a doll head with the hair already rooted just to try. I didn't care for it so much because the hair was all less moveable and thick. I didn't have the control I wanted but it worked well with the character. She is a white skin 21cm Obitsu doll. Her dress was made out of real Kimono silk and was all hand sewn. I am not the best at drawing anime eyes so I did my best and when I improved I fixed her eyes again. I did style her hair and I did paint her hands to be white to look like gloves. She is For Sale contact me for info.
