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…
Lately I mostly do faceups for my own dolls, but I couldn’t resist a request to paint Beatrice from Re:Zero! Just look at that pouty face! If you recognize the eye design, I have in fact made Beato’s eyes before, quite some time ago in fact. Just never got motivated enough to create a custom…
Thanks to the pleasant weather I’m on to my next batch of faceups, and the first one done this round is my SWS DDH-26 head. This doll is a relatively recent arrival and while I didn’t intend to repaint them anytime soon, I saw some gorgeous customs of the sculpt and realized I could do…
In the same batch as my custom Kumako Ruru and DD Iori faceups, I also repainted my Volks DD Saber Extra. She’s a pretty long-standing member of my collection and even though she kept her original faceup for years, after seeing some cute and glamorous repainted Sabers I wanted to give it a shot. Saber…

For my second faceup of 2023, I completed a modded SWS DDH-07 head. I’d original started modding this head last fall, to test out UV-cure resin additive mods, but didn’t get a chance to finish until the weather improved this month. The DDH-07 sculpt was never one of my favorites, but somehow I’ve ended up…
We’ve finally arrived at the season of intermittent sunny days, so I was able to make some progress on a couple outstanding faceup projects. First to the finish line was this custom modded DDH-27 head. This is the same head sculpt I previously painted in SWS for my fennec fox mage character. This head was…
~ A long-delayed rescue project ~ My final faceup from the fall batch is this dreamy Syo (Sho?). She’s an older Volks sculpt that I picked up with vague intentions a while back. I knew she was yellowed, but I didn’t realize the previous owner had done a rough job trying to sand off the…
