~ Faceup season is in full swing! ~
Next up in my faceup backlog is DD Uzuki (first version). I picked up her head on a whim a while back but hadn’t really had a clear plan for it. But it’s finally time for Uzuki refresh! I decided I’d try for a mischievous look, and lean into the more androgynous feel of the sculpt.
Although I don’t paint them much I do really like fluffy eyebrows on girls, especially troublemaker types, so I tried some for Uzuki. I’m not 100% sure it’s successful but I’m just painting for myself this time, so taking some chances and getting outside of my comfort zone makes it a more interesting challenge.
The white sailor outfit is an older Volks set, and the brown bob wig is from Elvis Squirrel on Taobao. The eyes are a newer design I’ve made more of recently, not too fancy but very versatile so I end up using them a lot.
I also tried a sweet casual look with another old Volks set, and a second-hand blue wig that’s probably from Dollce. The elf ears are from Etsy but you can find them cheaper on Taobao I’ve heard.
For now she’s using Chihaya’s DDS SS-bust body, but I might try out DDP and some other styling options to figure out her final look.
