Custom faceups, mods, and the like
It’s a bit delayed but here’s the final faceup in the set of commissions I finished this summer! She started off as a Volks DD Candy memorial version, and was transformed into Ranma girl type! It’s fun to work on a more graphic and retro anime style faceup – I don’t typically use pure black…
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…
I’m slowly catching up on my faceup projects here! Featured next is DD Yui Hirasawa, a girl released in 2010 that I just got around to repainting. I picked up her head/body from Mandarake a while ago, and realized that she looked very cute on MDD body! So my plan for her faceup was to…
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…
