My latest faceup project is ready for her reveal! We’re starting to get some spring weather here, so I rushed at the opportunity to start sealing some heads for faceups. Fortunately the weather had a few more good windows and I was able to finish up my first project for 2022 this weekend. Rina has…
I squeezed in one last faceup before the start of the rainy season here! I was looking to clear out some floating heads that hadn’t seen much sunlight lately, and found this DDH-01 modded head that I did way back in 2012. I felt like the faceup didn’t live up to my current standards, and…
Finishing up a last few sunny weather faceups, I just completed this custom DDH-14 girl. She wasn’t originally part of my planned slate of faceups, but I impulse purchased her floating head and felt immediately compelled to repaint it.

ShoushouDoll Niko arrived! And immediately got a faceup :D ShoushouDoll is a China-based BJD artist who sells their work through Taobao and a couple other representatives such as BJDivas. I picked Niko up second-hand since I missed the original order window. As soon as Niko arrived I hurried to give her a faceup since…

The next from my latest batch of faceups is a custom painted Airy as Rin Hoshizora from Love Live. I feel like Airy is one of those underrated sculpts, her kitty smile is so cute! I had a chance to play up the kitty look with this faceup since Rin has a similar expression sometimes.…
Occasionally I’ll do some faceup commissions for friends and acquaintances, and the first of this year’s batch is custom Kizuna AI. She’s been repainted to look like Kotori Minami from the Love Live anime. I’m not too familiar with the anime but I think she’s really cute! And Kizuna’s sculpt is a good fit for…
One last faceup from the early summer batch – I did another DDH-16 custom, this time a pouty boyish dragon themed head. It’s fun to work on two of the same sculpt simultaneously since it’s easier to see how much difference the faceup painting has on expression and mood! Since I decided to rehome…
