Trying a new lighting setup for indoor photos~ Canon 7D is pretty bad in low-light situations so I have a lot of workarounds to take doll photos >.< But Chihaya looks cute regardless! She's wearing an summery sundress I sewed back in the day, and the basket belongs to Neris.
Meet the newest member to join Jadepixel School for Magical Girls – Alice! I gave her a quick style change with a school uniform and Mandarake wig, and I’m looking forward to creating a custom faceup for her eventually.

The default SDC hands left a lot to be desired, so I carved away seams and extra resin, and gave them a nice natural blush. Since hands end up in so many of my photos, I’ll try to do more manicures in the future ^_^
