Custom faceups, mods, and the like
My latest eye experiment! These eyes are printed on metallic paper from Nations Photo Lab. They look great, especially the simple colorful designs like the red in center. I need to make the lens part slightly larger since the metallic paper isn’t flexible at all. The prints cost about $2 per 8×10 sheet which makes…
Earlier this winter I acquired a DDH-09 head (they aren’t too pricey if you find the right auction) and now that the weather’s nicer I finally gave her a faceup. I think the 09 head looks similar to Volks idolm@ster girls, and that inspired me to give her a look similar to Ranko or Takane.…
The arrival of Sanjie interrupted my sewing plans, so I took a break to work on Anthy’s faceup. Also, over the winter I got an DDH-09 of my own, so I concepted and started painting her as well. Her faceup is modeled off Ranko Kanzaki who has a similar but less full mouth. Upside down…
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 ^_^
I started modding this head back in spring, and finally got a chance to finish her faceup. She’s officially my last custom of 2014 ^_^ My first custom DDH-02 was ‘Mirielle’ but I sent her to a new home. When semi-white skin was released, I knew it was perfect for the character, so now I…
After a few false starts, I finally finished this gal! She’s a commissioned ddh-01 custom, with modded mouth, nose and eyes. Although the look is based on a custom by White Dolly Story, I ended up doing my own take on it. I think her painted mouth is especially cute ^_^
I finally got to finish my DDH-08 girl! She was a prize from the Volks USA DD faceup poll earlier this summer, I came in second place. To make her look more cute and youthful, I gave her big chunky eyebrows and extended her smile a bit. This head is surprisingly small, so I ended…
Last time my mom came to visit she tried to take one of my Neemos with her! So mom is getting a custom doll for Christmas ^_^ She’s an obitsu rooted hair head on pure neemo body. I didn’t try to match the skin tone this time, but I think it’s pretty close. I wanted…
