Custom faceups, mods, and the like
Continuing my sunny weather faceup projects, I was able to do a custom faceup for SWS DDH-16 head. Volks did a pre-order for these heads last year and I ordered one without a specific plan in mind. Eventually I decided on a red dragon themed girl, and I was able to trade my Flesh color…
I find it most efficient to do a couple faceups at the same time, so while I was repainting Maria and Mariko I also painted up a SWS DDH-22 head. I didn’t have a clear plan when I originally acquired her but after sketching out a few ideas I settled on a jade dragon theme.…
For my next faceup project, I decided to repaint my student Mariko head. I’ve painted a custom Mariko before but my own Mariko ended up in the faceup backlog until now. Before and after I ended up fussing a bit more with this one after I thought I was done also- I realized…
Nice weather is here again so I’ve been working on a batch of faceups from my wishlist. The first to end up completed is Maria Ushiromiya, an older MDD who’s been hanging out behind the scenes for a while. After some cleanup (her eyeholes were pretty roughly cut) she’s got a fresh new look! …
~ Sewing Cute Bunnies for Easter ~ During the last few cold weeks of winter, I got an itch to sew a cute MDD-sized set. The inspiration was this chocolate sprinkle fabric I picked up a while ago- there wasn’t enough to do something big or risky, but it could work as a cute…
Winter faceups are living dangerously. I learned my lesson a few years ago, when I did a series of faceups in December and January that later developed cracking in the sealant. Not sure if it was the new formulation of MSC Matte, the low temperatures, the humidity, or some combination, but I’ve avoided using…
– Modifying DD bust to fit DD Dynamite – Don’t get me wrong, 2B is pretty cute, but I never felt like the DDdy bust was the right fit for her. Based on the character art, I feel an M bust is more appropriate, but I suppose DDdy was chosen to keep the other body…
This may be my last custom faceup project for a while, now that the weather here near Seattle is getting rainy and cool. My second custom DWC01 head is also in FS color and has a cute wide-eyed and slightly surprised expression. She looks really adorable with this Code Noir outfit and a cute blue…
