It’s been a minute since I painted a Love Live DD, but I’m finally following up Kizuna and Airy with a custom painted DD Haruka Amami as Honoka and DD Reimu as Hanayo.
I’ll be the first to tell you that the Haruka sculpt isn’t my fave, but I do think she benefited a lot from a modern faceup. I also used some UV-cure resin to sculpt small teeth for her, which adds a nice depth to her smile.
For this photoshoot she’s wearing a mystery second-hand wig, and the outfit from DD Mashiro Mito. She’s using the DD body, wish I had thought to put her on DDS because that does seem like the best fit for this head.
Hanayo is the second DDS Reimu sculpt that I’ve painted, and she came out with a pleasantly sweet expression. This sculpt is really cute but underrated I think in part due to being one of the very last hard-headcap DD releases.
She’s wearing a Volks dream choice wig with an older Volks outfit.
These girls are getting some new eyes, and then will soon be on their way back home. And that’s probably the end of faceups for this year, barring a patch of unseasonably warm/dry weather. Meanwhile I’ll be moving onto sewing projects, and maybe making some more eyes as well.
