Custom faceups, mods, and the like
For my second faceup of 2023, I completed a modded SWS DDH-07 head. I’d original started modding this head last fall, to test out UV-cure resin additive mods, but didn’t get a chance to finish until the weather improved this month. The DDH-07 sculpt was never one of my favorites, but somehow I’ve ended up…
We’ve finally arrived at the season of intermittent sunny days, so I was able to make some progress on a couple outstanding faceup projects. First to the finish line was this custom modded DDH-27 head. This is the same head sculpt I previously painted in SWS for my fennec fox mage character. This head was…
Over the holiday break, I endeavored to complete another sewing project- this time the theme was ‘cutie fruitbat’. The idea had been kicking around in my head for a while, but it came together when I sketched out ideas for a kimono-style sleeve to evoke a bat’s wing, but with lots of cute lacey details.…
~ A long-delayed rescue project ~ My final faceup from the fall batch is this dreamy Syo (Sho?). She’s an older Volks sculpt that I picked up with vague intentions a while back. I knew she was yellowed, but I didn’t realize the previous owner had done a rough job trying to sand off the…

The autumn weather is a bit delayed this year, so by dodging some extra-smoky days I was able to squeeze in another batch of faceups. First up is another Shoushou Doll Niko, this time in tan skin! I pre-ordered tan Niko last year, and it took almost exactly a year for her to arrive. I…
~ A Magical Fox Boy Finally Appears ~ A while back I had an itch to make a new custom fullset, just for fun. Brainstorming the type of character that I found appealing, I realized I hadn’t yet built a sassy but magical boy. After sketching out some ideas, I settled on a fennec fox/djinn-inspired…
Rounding out the latest batch of faceups is this custom modded DDH-10 gal. Lately I’ve seen a lot of great modded DDH-10 customs, and since I had an extra head floating around I decided to give it a shot. I didn’t have a clear plan in mind at first, just shaving down the mouth until…
